You know that time of day when every photograph turns out amazing? The way the setting sun shimmers through the trees and bounces off the glass walls of urban buildings gives the whole world a magical quality. Everyone, and everything, looks a little bit more beautiful.
Dubbed “golden hour,” the periods shortly after sunrise and just before sunset are a photographer’s dream. The atmosphere blocks out cool blue tones, imbuing pictures with an enchanting, warm light. Long shadows offer a dramatic backdrop, and the diffused, soft lighting smooths harsh features and stark angles. Skin looks poreless, wrinkles blur into nothing, and romance wafts through the air like the scent of fried dough at a small-town carnival.
Golden hour is so much more than just a photographer’s favorite time of day, however. Here at Avi & Co., we look at golden hour as a way of life. Imagine wearing those rose-colored glasses all throughout the day, romanticizing the mundane tasks that take you through your week.

Of course, you will need to look the part.
Today, we are going to dive into some of our favorite watches for skiers, both on and off the slopes. Some of these watches can take you from the
