There aren’t many outfits an all black watch wouldn’t go well with. Suits of any color, at tux, shorts and a t-shirt, the ragged scraps of an international vagabond. They all get classed up with a bit of matte black. It’s why the Midnight Mesh watch from Kapten & Son is a smart investment. The watch is a stylish, versatile accent to any outfit, thanks to the matte anthracite black strap and case. The face is simple, with tick marks for hours and minutes, with 12 and 6 o’clock indicate by two large Roman numerals, and is available in both black and white. There’s nothing overly complex about this watch, which is exactly why we like it.
