What is Watching Type?
Hi, I’m Samuel, and I’m a designer from London. Watching Type started as an outlet for me to put down my thoughts about something I love: the design and typography of watches. I don’t write on a strict schedule but I try to post roughly every week to two weeks.
Each issue, I take a look at something different. It might be my critique of a watch that’s doing the rounds on Instagram, or dissecting a new product or rebrand that’s just launched. It might be to do with a watch I happen to have seen out in the wild, at a meetup, or an exceptional vintage piece. It might be a look at some of my own work and processes. Or even something else entirely!
