Things We Use
A curated selection of the things we own, recommend, and believe in. Every item here has been used, tested, or coveted by our writers.
Watches
Rolex Submariner Date 126610LN
The current production Sub. 41mm, ceramic bezel, 70-hour power reserve. Still the benchmark. Buy it, wear it every day, and never look back.
View →Cartier Tank Must
The watch that looks good on every wrist in every room. Steel case, blue hands, leather strap. Dress it up or down. A century of good design.
View →Writing
Montblanc Meisterstück 149
The 149 is the benchmark fountain pen. Heavy, balanced, and the nib breaks in to your hand over years. Buy it once.
View →Pilot Custom 823 (Amber)
Vacuum fill, 14k nib, enormous ink capacity. The serious writer's pen. Half the price of the 149 and arguably a better writer out of the box.
View →Photography
Leica Q3 43
Fixed 43mm lens. Full-frame sensor. The camera you grab when you walk out the door. No lens to choose, no excuses. Just shoot.
View →Leica M11
The rangefinder. Manual focus, deliberate photography. Not for everyone — for the people who want to slow down and see.
View →Driving
Coming soon. The things worth driving can't be rushed.
Travel
Coming soon. Packing the bags now.
