The Monta Noble 40 Might Be the Brand’s Most Wearable Watch Yet
Monta has been on a re-sizing streak lately, and the Noble is the latest model to get the treatment. Today, the St. Louis-based brand announced the Noble 40, a 40mm version of one of its most well-regarded designs. It arrives in two dial options, black lacquer and sunburst blue, and it’s available for preorder starting April 9th at 10:00 AM CT. At first glance, the proportions look right and the overall package feels like a natural evolution for the collection.
The Sinn 544 Might Be My New Favorite Entry-Level Watch From The Brand
Sinn is heading to Watches & Wonders this year, and they’re already getting a bit trigger-happy. I’m here for it!

Whether or not Casio has long-term plans to grow this into a broader mechanical lineup remains to be seen, but for now, the updates here have been pretty fun to follow.
This NASA Artemis Smartwatch Lets You See Its Own Brain and Reprogram It
We don’t cover a lot of smartwatches here. That’s not really what we do. But with the Artemis II mission getting plenty of attention lately, and the usual coverage around what’s on the astronauts’ wrists already well underway elsewhere, this one felt worth a look for a different reason.
Jack Mason Strat-o-Timer GMT Watch Review: A Practical Take on the Modern Diver
As watch collectors, we have a way of latching onto deeply held beliefs about โheritageโ and โstory.โ Iโve done it. Youโve done it. And often, those decisions happen pretty quickly. They can lead us to dismiss some genuinely good watches out there, and itโs something Iโve been trying to stay more aware of in my collecting journey this year. Like many watchmaking names, Jack Mason may have been one of those brands I passed on in recent years. Who are they? What are they? โฆIโll just get a cool Seiko or something. But, as I wrote late last year, โJack Masonโs Strat-o-Timer GMT Is Impossible to Ignore Now.โ
