Pairs Well With: Stowa Partitio White
The Stowa Partitio is one of those sleeper watches that, once taken in fully and appreciated, is easy to become obsessed with. It’s easy to ignore or forget about it amidst Stowa’s other, more well know watches. The Antea in particular is such a fine example of an early 30’s German design that it takes the spotlight. Well, the Partitio is no less gorgeous, but much more subtle and soft spoken. It’s a vintage styled three-hander with a classic design that hints at WWII field watches, but is more refined for formal wear. It rides the line between casual and dress making it suitable for all occasions, and has a quiet charm that makes it irresistible. At about $700 (w/o VAT) it’s a good value too. There are two colors and two movements to choose from, but for my money, I would go for the white dial with manual ETA 2801 movement, for that vintage feel.Today’s PWW plays off of the reserved style of the Partitio, with some fall/winter clothes that are ready

15202 sizing
I have an offshore on hornback that I keep considering trading to something less substantial like an aquanaut or 15202. My wrist is on the smaller side, but the hornback works ok since it is flexible. I tried on the 15202 and despite it being much smaller, fit more awkwardly due to the stiff bracelet. It doesn't really hug the wrist but kind of sits raised if that makes any sense. Obviously could not size it to try it on properly, but does the 15202 actually need a thicker wrist to wear due to the bracelet than the offshore?

A rather tasty Nautilus
A great surprise from my lovely wife to celebrate my new Nautilus. Ties in well with the nautilus 40th Anniversary too! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
