Les Tracteurs - for my personal aesthetics

I suppose my personal aesthetic is built upon nostalgia from times where things were made well and sturdy. For example, there are some watch movements that were called “tracteurs” or tractors. Basically because they were sturdy, shock proof, built to handle anything - old rolexes and valjoux movements come to mind. Same could be said for shoes which are built to be rebuilt forever and beautiful suits whose materials settle over time. Love these things. Blog about watches, fashion, travel, EDC and whatever strikes my fancy

Did my civic duty and voted. Don’t forget to thank the great volunteers who are helping to make the election work as well as it does. #wis #womw #watchfam #wisdad #breguet #sartorial #menswear #styleforum #ootd https://www.instagram.com/p/B9SYL5THO7f/?igshid=1nxlb9jk9plui

Man does not live by tailoring alone. A little knitwear, a little leather, a hard as balls watch. I’m going to give somebody a bad day. #werkit #ootd #mensstyle #sartorial #wis #womw #polarexplorer #explorerii #rolex #watchfam #wisdad https://www.instagram.com/p/BqNipvdHTT0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=11c89c1v56li7

After a fantastic night w @mrvanoppen ready to head home but not until I fill my belly for the trip. Have to say, very good strong rib sticking flavors here at #biscuitbitchseattle. Good heat, good texture on the biscuits. Hot links are a nice peppery touch. There go my calories for the day. #yasbitch #wis #womw #watchfam #wisdad #eattastefully #biscuitsaremykryptonite (at Biscuit Bitch Pioneer Square) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp2D-2inAoT/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=mgiyt0ersove

Travel watch for the day. Going to surprise a friend. Little secret - I select my watch based upon the mood I want to be in for the day. What does this say about today? #wis #womw #vintagerolex #watchfam #wisdad #traveltastefully https://www.instagram.com/p/BpzYTH9nPRE/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1t1xe4nlml07u
