Delve into All-Star pitcher Marcus Stroman’s timepiece obsession and learn about BND's latest vintage-inspired diver watches.

Known for his prowess on the baseball pitch, All-Star pitcher Marcus Stroman is not just an accomplished athlete but also a lover of notable timepieces. Stroman, who initially gained recognition during his tenure with the Toronto Blue Jays, is known for his competitive spirit and impressive athleticism, traits mirrored in the watches he owns. His mantra ‘Height Doesn’t Measure Heart’ reflects the resilience seen in his watch collection, and the types of timepieces he chooses to collect. His collection, absent of typical choices such as AP or Rolex, comprises exceptional examples such as rare Cartier pieces, the 3800 Nautilus, and watches with bespoke straps. In a recent showcase, Stroman reveals some of the timepieces in his collection — a mix of vintage and new watches, with remarkable strata like the Cartier Crash 1991 Paris, Patek Philippe 5271P, and the Vanguard Orb Titanium, to name a few. On a similar note, Vincent Bonnaud, founder of BND, delves into the charm of vintage-inspired wristwatches. His brand has launched the third version of the BND diver watch, embodying a sturdy value proposition. The watch balances the inspiration drawn from vintage pieces without being an outright homage, striking all the right chords at a captivating price point. This reliable diver watch from BND is the type of wrist candy that one wouldn’t fear wearing out too much, striking a balance between durability and aesthetics. The founder’s love for dive watches is subtly hinted at through an anchor motif on the dial.
