VIDEO: Zach picks his 5 favourite recent watch releases
Zach BlassA lot of watches have been released recently. So to assemble my favourites, there was a lot of ground to cover, specs to take in and wrist-shots to snap. With so many options to consider, in order to pick my top five, I really needed to take some time to digest. But Labor Day has now past and I’m now ready to share my final picks with you all. Watch the video below to find out my five favourite recent watch releases.
I don’t want to spoil the video and write down my favorites. Not at least without a spoiler warning. You should really check out the video to find out the watches I chose. All I will say, as a non-spoiler, is that my picks span a variety of price segments from attainable to aspirational. There were watches this (western) summer I really liked that I could realistically purchase. For others, I would need to sell a few of my current pieces to be able to fund one. And for some I would need to switch my line of work entirely in order to afford one. But that is the fun of watches at the end of the day. The chase, the hunt and the aspiration to acquire. If you are really keen to read what my favourites are, I will link our recent coverage for some of the picks for you below. But, to see them all you will need to watch the video.
