I have always had a thing for old watches. There is something about the character of an old watch that just defines "Old School Cool" for me.

I've just thought it was so much cooler to discover a beautiful old watch than to just walk into a store and buy a new one. There is a strength in knowing how old they are and seeing them faithfully keep perfect time. There is a magic in thinking of the life that this watch had before it came into your hands. And there is a beauty in knowing that some things just never go out of style.

When I was growing up, my dad never splurged on anything. His focus was on taking care of us kids.  But the one thing that he loved was a great watch. I think I inherited that from him.  As Blade + Blue is really a 'Thank - You' letter to my father for all that he taught us about being men, I couldn't be more excited and proud than to share this collection of beautiful found watches with you.  

You may have noticed that I really like putting interesting bands on old watches. One reason I do this is because old bands usually look like they've been through hell. And it's kind of my way of breathing new life into the piece.

This is a very polished watch from the Avalon company. Dial is clean & clear with a little red star insignia. There is also a functioning date keeper.

But it's this very cool green/brown bi-color leather band that gives this guy a whole new attitude.

This watch keeps good time & requires daily winding.
