As you might know from his published work at HODINKEE, Gear Patrol, and elsewhere, and from The Grey Nato podcast (which he cohosts with HODINKEE's James Stacey) Jason's take on watches is a bit different. Most of us who own dive watches will probably do nothing riskier with them than go snorkeling, but for Jason, a dive watch is a tool of the trade. A samurai sword is a beautiful object but to this day, the acid test for one made by a master artisan is still tameshigiri, or testcutting. The first question is not, "is it beautiful?" but rather, "does it work?" and that's the question every watch Jason's dived with has to answer.
