How the Peregrine came to be
I wanted to talk a bit about the Peregrine. A lot of thinking went into it, but it is probably the most underrated model in our lineup. I think it deserves a bit more credit. PEREGRINE V1 After the success of our maiden model the Tugela, I really started to explore...
The Dirty Dozen
In the world of horology, military watches occupy a unique and revered space. Combining durability, precision, and functionality, these timepieces are built to endure the harshest conditions while maintaining accuracy, making them indispensable to soldiers. Among the...
Saturation diving
Saturation divers are among the most skilled and elite professional divers in the world. They often spend days or weeks under pressure, completing complex tasks that only human hands can achieve at extreme depth. To understand what sat diving is, we need to understand...
The Manual: Wabi-Sabi
A customer asked me the other day about the scratch resistance of the Tugela V4, and whether scratches would show on the bead-blasted surface. I had to be honest with him. The case of the Tugela is not very scratch-resistant. It will show scratches and signs of wear...
The F-14 Tomcat: A Legendary Fighter Jet
For many of us 80’s kids, no other fighter jet inspired more excitement than the F-14 Tomcat. That is thanks largely to the movie Topgun, but I think its awesomeness was prevalent in many 80’s artifacts – books, toys, models and playing cards. Finishing the...
The Saab 35 Draken
Growing up, I was passionate about model fighter jets. My shelves were littered with kit-set planes from almost every decade since the 1940’s. After I shared a post about the F-16 Falcon a few months ago a couple of you mentioned the Saab 35 Draken, the Swedish...
Draken First Aid Kit
Hey Folks. Most of you know about the MOLLE pouches that our watches come in. The idea of these pouches is that they can be attached to a larger bag, and reused to carry other things like tools, a phone or some useful supplies. One of the ideas that came from the...
The Legendary Land Cruiser 70 Series
G’day folks. One of the things I get very excited about is a rugged 4WD ute (that’s a truck for the rest of the world). So I thought I would put together a little write-up on one of the iconic 4WDs from down under, the Land Cruiser 70 series. And since...
The Manual: Standards
Hey folks. In improving myself, I have learnt that having irrefutable standards is the key to reaching the goals and dreams we have. It starts with the little things. Making your bed. Flossing regularly. Wiping down the benchtop after making a sandwich. Brushing out...
Bush Planes of Alaska
You may have noticed the shots of the planes skimming the glassy surface of a lake in the promo video for the Peregrine. Those are not just any planes, and those are not just any pilots. With some of the wildest and remotest terrains of the world, flying in Alaska is...
The Manual: Discomfort
Hey folks. There’s a saying in Sweden: ‘There’s no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing’. I wasn’t going to let a bit of wind and rain stop me from taking my 4-year-old daughter out for a hike over the weekend. The weather...
The Manual: Mindset
Hey folks. This is a bit of a heart-to-heart email. I have been doing some behind-the-scenes work that I wanted to share. I honestly think Draken is capable of becoming one of the top microbrands, potentially even a mainstream tool watch brand on par with some of the...
