Centurionone's Easter post transcends a simple breakfast photo, sparking a broader philosophical discussion among collectors about enjoying luxury items versus preserving them. His personal reflection on life's unpredictability resonates deeply, challenging the 'safe queen' mentality often seen in the watch community. This thread explores the balance between appreciating fine objects daily and the desire to maintain their pristine condition.
The very elegant plate isn't technically Swiss is it? Then again, you can't eat the plate, where you can technically swallow the watch! (joking) What a delicious breakfast!
Yeah the plate is French 😉
I can't identify the pattern. But what a nice plate.
Glad to see you use the nice stuff every now and then! Most people never use the nice stuff!
Frankly I see little point in that. In the past I witnessed friends in their 40s-50s passed away due to unforeseen health complications or an accident which made me realise every day you live is a bonus and you never know what's around the corner.. Living life to the full extend ( within reason) while you can is my mantra..
I have to admit, I don't use my wine decanters. They're beautiful sculptures and I get great enjoyment out of using them. But not necessarily because of a safe queen attitude, but simply because they're hard to clean (you have to put in sand or metal beads to clean them out)! But for most people, it's exactly that safe queen attitude that they employ! Glad to see that you really enjoy your nice things! It's rare! I handwash my nice plates too! I even wash my own car by hand!
