Marathon Field Watch
My man Brian from Wings and Horns put me on to this. This watch meets military standards and is manufactured by a Canadian company named The Marathon Watch Company and they supply both the Canadian and American military. The hands and hour markers contain a radioactive chemical called Tritium which provides the constant lume to the watch. If you look closely, you can see the radioactive logo on the face. According to the company, the radiation output is really low. My left hand hasn’t started to glow yet, so I think I’m OK.
Glasses
Like many Asians I need corrective eyewear. I think nothing changes my look more than my specs so I own a wide assortment. Now that I see them all together, they kind of all look the same.
Cameras
I contribute to two blogs (Finaledesign.com and Vancouverslop.com) so I have to take pictures. I tote my Holgaroid around when I can, it is the size of stack of textbooks but there is something about Polaroids that girls love so it makes the camera worth having.
Footwear
Here is a picture of some of my favorites. Air Max, ACGs, military shoes, and some dress shoes peppered in. Common Projects, vintage Bally boots, and Padmore and Barnes Wallabees.
My Bike
This is a little piece of Vancouver’s history that I purchased on Craigslist. Cramerotti is an Italian built frame but designed by a local bike shop, Campione in Vancouver. I was getting a little fat earlier this year and this bad boy helped me lose some weight. It is the gift that keeps on giving.
