Niall One Mechanical Watches Claim To Be Made With Over 90% American Parts
Niall is a new watch company based out of Kansas City, Missouri, here in the USA, and is part of an emerging trend of micro timepiece makers in the US that seem to be popping up all over the place. I have a feeling that much of this is an extension of the "Shinola-effect," a term I just came up with to describe how entrepreneurial types in America are seeking to get a portion of the luxury watch market by leveraging a "home grown" angle to watch making.The fallacy, of course, is that the majority of these watch companies in the US don't actually produce anything in the US.

In a dilemma. Volcano or Black Rubberclad?
Hello everyone. Planning to get my first ROO but im in a dilemma on whether i should get the Volcano or Black Rubberclad? Im not really a fan of safari / SS black theme or any white dial or plain dial themed ROO. I've done lots of read ups on the Volcano and basically its a very loud watch with a huge wrist presence. I really love the watch but im afraid i might get tired of orange after awhile. Im always a casual person and my job dosent requires me to wear a formal attire or suit. Im more of a casual person who wears berms or jeans everyday with tees everyday. Black RC on the other hand also catches my eyes. I have a friend who wears it all the time and IMO i think its as loud as the volcano and has a huge wrist presence as well but elegant at the same time. Plus black is not something one would get bored off. The white sub dial looks stunning too. Now both are very beautiful watch that screams AP from across the room and im still deciding which one to get. I have a very good Volcano
