Horology Republic

Horology Republic Small media outlet focusing on horology and the people you meet in the avocation. Veteran owned. Life through the lens of horology.

The journey our timepieces take with us doesn’t end once we’ve brought them home. On the contrary, that’s when it’s just beginning. Our pieces witness life’s most incredible moments and have stories all their own. At Horology Republic, we bring these stories to life and share them with everyone in the avocation.

A Happy Veteran’s Day to all who served and continue to serve. We lucky few.

Is the new Grey Side of The Moon a hit or miss?

OMEGA says the essence and aura of the moon are spackled all over this piece and it’s easy to see it at first glance. While the greyscale coloring is a nice way to go if a vibrant watch isn’t your thing, is the moon theme overdone here?

Everybody knows, at least in the watch circles, about the Speedmaster-Moon connection and its bee written about, covered, and explored more times than most of us care to hear about, so it’s left us wondering: is this kind of thing going to draw in Speedy Pro owners or only those who absolutely cannot stop telling everyone how the Speedy was the official moonwatch?

It’s a good looking piece and well designed, with the color matching being the top hit for us, but if this was made without the constant cratering and moon themes, would it be a better watch because of it?

What do you think? Let us know for this

One of the most historic of the brands you can get today is who offer a range of watches to suit your tastes.

While we have done a bit of a dive into John Arnold, the pieces you find today offer unique ways to collect watches with true innovation at the heart. The constant force tourbillon is one such innovation and not only looks good but would certainly drive conversation with other collectors.

If you see one in the wild, be sure to strike up a conversation and snap a photo.

Thanks again to Alex for the submission!

Submission from Alex and a highlight from the NYC weekend a couple of weeks ago. What a stunner!

While we know watch designs can sometimes push the envelope, the choice to go down the wrist in this manner makes for eye-catching shapes and watches that are surprisingly wearable over other “large” case models.

Would you wear something like this? Does the oval stature appeal more than a large circular design?

More from our first-ever watch event on September 27th.

We were treated to a wonderful walkthrough of the entire , , and lines, presented by the wonderful who graciously took time from his weekend to show us around these pieces. Equally fantastic was the venue, with dinner at and drinks afterwards downstairs in ! We had so much fun and were looking forward to the next event which we’ll be telling you all about very soon.

If you’re in the Western New York area and want to join us for future events, drop an email to Zachary ([email protected]) and let him know this is your thing, too. Our aim is to bring together the community, provide fun interaction with legacy and newer brands, and simply have fun with others interested in the avocation. We plan to mix up these events and have some focused on mingling and exploring each other’s collections in between, so there is something for everyone.

See you at the next one!

Timex has created a $1000 diver.

Yep, did what everyone else is doing - upping the game to something more than they were generally known for making. And if everyone else can reinvent themselves, why not Timex?

Steel, 200m of water resistance, polished hands, scalloped case with bracelet, automatic movement. All the ingredients of a diver that makes Seiko a top choice for many is here with the brand that brought you the Iron Man and the 1990s presidential watch.

So, is it worth the $1000 for a Timex? Maybe, people pay more for less from other brands so why not here? There are millions of people who have worn a Timex for years and probably many tens of millions who continue to rely on their watches for various things.

If Timex was your first watch in basic training, perhaps something like this could even be a promotion gift when you make NCO. Or maybe you’re just getting into automatic watches and want somewhere to start, this could be it.

If it’s true that any brand can reinvent itself at any time, then again we ask, why not ?

What do you think? Fun? Worth it? Nah? Let us know.
