Blackcreek Mercantile & Trading Co.

My friends at BCM&T sent me this belt and I have not taken it off since. Remarkable leather, handmade everything and the engineering behind the bends of the buckle is incredible. It works like a big cowboy buckle, without the rodeo feeling… If you explore what the maker of this belt is capable of, you will be impressed. Josh Vogel of Blackcreek Mercantile & Trading Co. worked this out with Chris and I hope they both come up with some more items soon.

Panerai:

This may not be the most expensive watch out there, but to me it is the best watch in the world. I was lucky enough to receive the Luminor Submersible 10 years ago as our wedding gift. It has a timeless and utilitarian feel to it made from outstanding materials and brilliant engineering principles. This is the last watch I will ever own.
