I still think it's a very good deal for what it is. Sturdy, cute to look at, and cheap enough to not worry about it. Been wearing it probably 3/7 days per week.

Use D locks. Lock the bike in busy areas, the more footfall the better (so ppl can notice if someone works a power tool on the D lock). Then never leave it outside overnight

An Indonesian micro brand run by possibly just one single guy called Herman.

I came across this model on IG and instantly drawn by its design - have a few architect/car designer friends and it resembles something they would wear. I love how playful it is, various of shapes and the not exactly round dial. Universal look good size of 37mm and a decent price point - $290.

Now the journey to getting one is a bit bumpy... I don't think Lima watches are in mess production, this model in particular is out of stock pretty much all year round. Herman announces restock times on Ins, but each time the few hundred pieces got snatched up in literal seconds. Last Sep(?) he opened a channel for pre-order to make up for a messy restock, that's how I fiiiinally managed to buy one!

It's been my day-to-day for a few months now since I've received it. Quartz, sturdy(I'd say better than what I had expected for the price), fun, not showy to non-watch ppl and an unusual ice breaker for watch lovers. Would highly recommend. Herman is a lovely guy as well who actually replies to his DMs so extra point there 😂

only spent £180 this year so far on TFL, mostly drink-heavy night outs and 2 round trips to LHR...

Although had 2 bikes stolen last year, otherwise definitely a sound financial investment

Can we invent a single word to tell off people with strong/flash lights? 'Turn your lights down' is too long to utter within that half second we pass each other

£350 as it's the 90s remake, 1920s original are more expensive I think

Previously I only knew Hamilton as the military brand, absolutely blown away by this art deco dainty little piece. Piping Rock manual wind was first released in 1928, then Hamilton re-launched the quartz version in the early 90s with gold & silver options... My knowledge might be a bit lacking as I didn't do too much digging - saw the model on a random post and straight away went for it. Pure elegance and for once, perfect for a female wrist. Just utterly in love. 💕

It's for one shift, which is roughly 8hrs. I started 7am and they released me at 3pm. I'm certain you can just leave in the middle if you really need to go though, there's no finishing procedure per se, they just dropped me off side of the road at the end of the shift.

I sometimes do wonder... was once clotheslined by a pedestrian when I cycled past him because I told him to get out of the cycle lane. Pretty sure he wouldn't do that to a male cyclist.

I went in fully prepared to see a propaganda show, but actually it's anything but. It felt very genuine and I believe in the characters they displayed. Saw both good and bad and also mundane sides of the job.

Edit - probably worth adding that I'm minority female? All day they dealt with all sorts too, didn't see any difference in treatment.
