My wife and I were having steak dinner at home last night when her water suddenly broke, 2 weeks ahead of schedule! We weren’t expecting it but 7 hours later in the wee morning hours we welcomed our first child, a beautiful baby girl to the world. I was planning to wear my Reverso but nothing from last night went to plan, except that my wife and daughter are happy and healthy. I was simply wearing the watch I wore to work yesterday, which isn’t a bad choice either! Which watch do you choose for momentous occasions? Have a happy Friday everyone.




Cheers,
Chris

Your world is about to flip upside down but in a great way!! I cannot even remember which watch I was wearing. I was just so focused on being there for my wife and praying that my kids were healthy. I do recall listening to my favorite artist when they were born and the song being “I saw God today” by the great George Strait

And I would say, a thoroughly appropriate timepiece to mark the super-special occasion.... Sincere congratulations, Filip

I know how that goes. We went to the OB/GYN and were told "you have a couple more weeks easily" Well, that night we were in the hospital with a newborn son. Once you become a parent and obviously even before, nothing goes according to plan.

The birth of a child is such a blessing. Many wonderful memories are yet to be made for you and your young family. May the years ahead be filled with joy and good health.
