First things first, Omega releases a quartet of new Speedmasters. Do we need four Dark Side of the Moons? Who knows… Are they cool? Who knows… Second, someone has finally used the Speakpipe feature on our posts, and asked us a question! The question goes… We all have certain criteria when buying watches, and wherever these criteria overlap (in a proverbial Venn diagram’s center, so to speak) lie the watches that we choose to buy. So, what are the Lumeplotters criteria for selecting watches? ...

Once again, we host our regular guest Mahmoud today to talk about clicking with watches. How do you know if you ‘click’ with a watch, and how do you know if you don’t? We’ve all experienced this before, a watch is perfect on paper, but for some reason, it just doesn’t click. And of course the vice versa, where you hated a watch until you tried it on, and suddenly you’re down a new rabbit hole… Give us a follow, and feel free to reach out to us on Instagram: @lumeplotters Or… leave us an audi...
