Harmony in Time: The Art of Itinerant Japanese Timepieces

To have Hitori’s watches at least assembled in Japan would’ve made all the difference for me and placed the brand at the top of my list for iconic Japanese economical workhorse watches.

It’s a tough choice! But I would keep the Daytona. Why? That’s because it’s a watch that encapsulates the prowess of Rolex’s watchmaking and is a good reminder of my successes and failures, which keeps me grounded whenever I wear it on my wrist or even look at it.

Born in Singapore with a mix of Belgian and Hongkonger blood in him, Elliot has had a passion for viticulture since he was young. And together with his significant other, they started an online wine-subscription company known as “BoundByWine” in 2018 and haven’t looked back since.

Norqain is that one brand in recent times that is meant to be taken seriously and will forge a distinctive path into becoming a well-known name in the industry; on its way to watch making greatness; leaving many others with mouth-gaping in wide eyed wonder only to watch

An ETA 2824-2 powers the watch, nothing overly spectacular here, but it does its job admirably when called upon as you would expect from the calibre.
