One bends time, the other keeps it
I’m going to start this with one word: wormhole. The hypothetical space-oriented structure that acts as two connecting points between distant parts of the universe—a tunnel, to put it in simpler terms.
While many are skeptical of the existence of wormholes, I fully believe there are wormholes that we encounter here in everyday life. We create our own wormholes through our instinctive curiosity and end up in places we never thought possible.
One brand that’s relatively new to the scene and has been creating some beautiful sci-fi-oriented watches is Canuck Timepieces. I’ve been a lucky owner of the original Unity from Canuck, and since then, watches like the Canuck x AndoAndoAndo Black Hole have come to fruition. Now we have the next edition, the “Wormhole.”

Walking through wormholes
I’ve been in marketing for the last 10 years; I opened the door to watches and created my own passionate wormhole, and here I am today, talking to you about it. One portal opened, I walked through, and entered a point I never knew existed.
I love space and anything involving the infinite cosmos. When a watch is presented to me with either of those in mind and has the aesthetics of something that looks futuristic, you better believe I’m down to check it out.
The previous variant, the Blackhole, featured a very Millennium Falcon-esque case design; am I allowed to say that? Anyway, it was one of the coolest case designs I’ve ever seen, especially when I saw it in person at the 2025 Toronto Timepiece Show. I’m someone who’s more of a fan of traditional watch case designs, but I absolutely adored the Blackhole. If it’s a weird design and everything is implemented perfectly, I’ll often fall in love.
Key Features of the Canuck Timepieces x AndoAndoAndo Wormhole
Warp Anywhere, Do Anything
I saw renders and drawings of this watch before it went into production, and I’ve been stoked since day one. With the unique design of the Blackhole being the main feature, the Wormhole features a more traditional and approachable design, opening the door to many who may have had interest in the previous Blackhole but found the design a tad out of their comfort zone. Get what I mean?
I love both releases dearly, but the Wormhole gives more of a GADA (WADA? Warp Anywhere, Do Anything) vibe and has a more compact and comfortable wrist presence, perfect for anywhere and every day. Not to mention how cool the rich black dial looks in a tool watch format.

Making it more approachable
Speaking of wearability, the case measures 40mm in diameter with a 41mm lug-to-lug and a thickness of 12mm. This provides a compact and comfortable wearing experience that feels reliable, sturdy, and ready to take on whatever you throw at it. It’s pretty damn perfect regarding sizing, and on the wrist, it has a nice heft that isn’t obtrusive; long story short, it just feels great.
The previous release of the Blackhole had a very unique, spaceship-like case. While I did appreciate this step towards something with such a different take on case architecture, I understand the move towards a more traditional case shape for the Wormhole. It’s more ergonomic, fits with other case designs that people feel more comfortable embracing and wearing on the wrist, yet stays in its own unique lane. From my time with the Wormhole, I can say with confidence that this is a great watch for everyday wear. The Blackhole was very sci-fi, and the Wormhole lives in that same universe, but with a more subtle and understated version, and I love it.

The language of Nal Hutta, Tatooine & Corusaunt
To say I’m a fan of Musou Black is an understatement. I think it’s the coolest colour to exist. Seeing something so dark on your wrist, it’s like reality forgot to load or an error occurred. It’s such a fitting colour for a watch that’s inspired by the infinite void and the time-bending structures within it. Musou Black is ideal due to its ability to fit with so many different styles of watches. For the Wormhole, it’s a clean contrast to the stainless steel case and has a level of casualness to it. Not to mention the very cool Wormhole in the centre of the dial, which has a vessel spinning around it as the second hand. It’s a clean and beautifully implemented touch that fits the design without overcrowding or taking away from the beauty of the deep black dial.
Everyone knows I’m a massive nerd, and there’s a detail on the Wormhole that made me light up like a Christmas tree. If you look at the bezel insert, you see those markings at 3, 6, and 9? That’s Huttese. The language is spoken on Nal Hutta, the home of the Hutts from Star Wars—aka Jabba the Hutt.
Huttese is also a language largely spoken on Tatooine, a planet controlled by the Hutts, and on Coruscant. This was such a cool detail, and during the initial conversation about the watch, I wasn’t sure how it would be implemented, but seeing the final version and how clean it looks, it’s outstanding and a welcomed nod to a franchise loved by so many. It’s also a fitting addition and stays in the lane of the previous Blackhole, which featured a Millennium Falcon-esque case design (I’m pretty sure I’m allowed to say that).

Quibbles
Do I have any complaints with the Wormhole? To be honest, not really. The only thing I noticed was the strap. While I love a sailcloth strap, this watch felt more comfortable on rubber. I wish, as I do with most watches, that there was a bracelet. Other than that, it’s a great watch. It wears well, looks badass, and the nod to Star Wars makes my heart very happy.

Final Thoughts
The Canuck Timepieces x AndoAndoAndo Wormhole is a watch I’ve thoroughly enjoyed. From its GADA aesthetic to its nod to Star Wars, I think many collectors would enjoy it. It’s compact, clean, and a great example of traditional design blending with modern/nerdy design cues.
I should mention that the Wormhole is a Limited Edition and has in fact sold out, so I’m very grateful to have experienced this one while I could. Canuck Timepieces has quite a bit in the pipeline that I’m looking forward to sharing over the coming months, so stay tuned for that.
As always, thank you so much for taking the time to read my thoughts and opinions on another watch! Have a fantastic morning, afternoon, or evening, wherever you’re reading from, and I’ll see you in the next one!
