From Mr Porter—An Appearance of My Watch

I saw Robert Spangle at a party during Pitti and we talked watches for a minute (I shot his Speedmaster at the last two Pitti’s I attended, though I spared him that this time). I showed him the inexpensive camo suede strap I’d put my Omega Aqua Terra on, and he liked it.

That photo appeared over the weekend on a non-Pitti-related post at Mr Porter, for whom he was shooting.

Go check out the article, and admire the gorgeous Florence sunset lighting.
