Beating The Monday Blues With Six Bluer-than-Blue Watches
What comes after Black Friday, the Christmas holidays, and the New Year’s Eve celebrations? That’s right, Blue Monday. Labelled to be the most depressing day of the year, Blue Monday is typically connected to the third Monday in January, which this year would have been the 15th. This means that, for what it’s worth, we’ve already passed it, possibly without even realising it! If you have been experiencing a bluesy mood, don’t worry, as we might have a horological fix for you. How about we attempt to distil that Blue Monday energy (or lack thereof) in a watch instead? With this in mind, here are six very blue mechanical watches to combat Blue Monday feelings!Maurice Lacroix Aikon automatic 39 blue PVDThe Aikon has marked a monumental turnaround for Maurice Lacroix.

Bremont Watches, go see them! - Monochrome Watches
Bremont Watches is a relatively new watch brand from the UK. Yes indeed, a British watch brand. And it’s a very interesting brand. Last year a friend told me about a new and very nice watch brand.
