OK - I tried to resist, but how do you tell the time on a slow watch? Or am I missing the point - is a slow watch meant to make you slow down and not care what the time is?Non-shaving related..but a very exciting acquisition for me - my new Slow Watch (JO 17).
Took me twenty-thirty minutes to 'adjust' to how it represents time but it's already second nature and the ability to view the whole day as one rotation on the watch does make a difference.
The leather strap here is the 'roughest' and thickest that they have. The other leather ones are rather thin and buttery soft but I wanted something a bit more 'raw' to go with the stainless steel.
(The 'writing' on the back is from an un-peeled plastic sticker)
So in the span of two weeks I've bought both a wallet and a watch - and the last time I bought either of those were 10+ years ago.
I think I'm all leathered-up for spring and summer to arrive. Really happy with both purchases.
Slow Jo 17 watch and Popov wallet.
May it be at least another ten years before I need to replace either of them.

New razor arrived today; The Kraken 248.
And like its name suggests it's a bit of a monster.
This razor is a 3D printed slant razor with a sort of safety bar/open comb hybrid and a pretty cool handle.
Weighing in at just 13g (including the weight of the nut, bolt and washer) it's extremely light and has a substantial blade gap making this a very efficient, yet comfortable shave.
Costing just £20 delivered from Holland it's a fantastic razor. The only question is how durable this 3D printed stuff is.
