18: In Defense of Fauxtina
from This Watch Life · host Lydia Winters and Vu Bui
The vintage reissue and vintage inspired trends are still going strong, and with them we continue to see so-called fauxtina (faux-patina) lume in tan, cream, pumpkin, and other off-white colors. But this choice by watch companies is divisive. In this episode we discuss whether or not fauxtina lume should be something we see on modern watches at all.
