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.

Introducing The Seiko 5 Sports x Peanuts "Snoopy" Watches (SRPK25 & SRPK27)
When you associate Snoopy with watchmaking, you might immediately think about Omega and the Speedmaster. Obviously… But the reason why you can find the cute beagle on the dial of the most legendary space watch has actually far more to do with NASA than the comic strip Peanuts by Charles M. Schulz. Nevertheless, this gave birth to some of the coolest Speedies around – but also some of the least accessible. Seiko now unveils a new pair of 5 Sports models to celebrate the 55th anniversary of this accessible collection. These have been made in association with Peanuts and reference the famous comic strip written and illustrated by Charles M. Schulz, including Snoopy on the dial of these SRPK25 and SRPK27.?Peanuts started in 1950 as a newspaper comic strip written and illustrated by Charles M. Schulz. The strip’s original run extended from 1950 to 2000, continuing in reruns afterwards. One of the most popular and influential comic strips in history, it focuses on the life

Krayon Anywhere Sunset and Sunrise Watch (Review, Price)
First breaking on the indie watchmaking scene in 2017, Krayon and its founder Remi Maillat made a name for themselves with Everywhere, a mind-boggling complicated watch capable of computing sunrise and sunset hours for any location on Earth. The development received a well-deserved industry accolade with the Innovation Prize at the GPHG 2018 (the Oscars of watchmaking). The brand is back with the Krayon Anywhere, a second, simpler (relatively speaking) take on the same concept. It shows the length of the day together with the sunrise and sunset hours at the place of your choice.Krayon EverywhereAlthough quite rare, some watches can indicate sunrise and sunset times. These are manufactured for a given place, because the sunrise and sunset times follow an annual cycle varying according to the location.
