Aptly named the Horizon Nemo, the dive watch is the third release from the brand and is a direct descendant of Horizon Watches' maiden collection, the -N-.
Unlike the hulking presence of its predecessor, the Horizon Nemo takes a smaller and svelte form without sacrificing the now signature traits of Horizon Watches including a two-part case construction, an Integrated Date Display (IDD), a proprietary typeface and tall (0.6mm) hour indices. A meticulousness to detail is another hallmark of the brand, as each of the three traits is subjected to an extensive thought process.
The unique case construction allowed for intricate finishing even in the tightest corners, while the IDD solved the date aperture conundrum on the dial. Aesthetically, the Horizon Nemo Ocean (pictured) features a blue wave-patterned dial reminiscent of the Seven Seas and a matching sapphire bezel insert. Uniquely shaped fishing spear watch hands propped up in an equally interesting three-stepped raised cone orientation on the dial centre - are further nods to Captain Nemo's seafaring expeditions.
The Horizon Nemo Ocean is accompanied by a brick/ block-type stainless steel bracelet featuring Horizon's ingenious MicroSliders length adjustment system. The concept involves adding an adjustable link at each end of the bracelet. This link can be extended by pressing and sliding a spring-loaded bar attached to it, allowing for adjustments in either half or full length.

Heavy Lidded
In the masculine world of grooming, the sport (or art) of decorating one's lids with darkened kohl has been practised amongst niche circles, reserved for only a few brave men willing to go - or draw - the lengths of a sharp winged liner. Given the past decade's adoration of the bare-is-best routines, the notion of lined eyes has been mostly cast away. However, as the return of the Indie Sleaze movement returns, confronting the pressing question cannot be put off any longer. Should the world be opening its eyes and waking up for the return of \"guyliner\"?
