Watch Collection Discussion

Key Points from the Discussion

• The Hautlence watch features a fascinating mechanism where rotational motion and torque are translated into linear motion for each passing hour, with hour numerals on the left side and an hour-arm that moves along an arc while the indicator slides in a straight path.
• The contributor appreciates the revamped, somewhat quieter styling of the new Hautlence line, noting that its unusual system of time-telling remains enjoyable.
• MTR emphasizes that the Hautlence watch, despite its unique and 'off the beaten track' design and construction, remains versatile and does not 'scream' for attention but is far from quiet.
• The contributor challenges strict Italian coffee culture rules, which dictate cappuccino consumption ends by noon, citing personal experience and Vienna's more relaxed approach, and noting that dairy products are supposedly thought to slow digestion.
• MTR humorously defies the medical rule of thumb about avoiding coffee eight to ten hours before bed, stating he can drink an espresso late at night and still fall asleep quickly.
• The Hautlence watch is considered very versatile, though MTR personally prefers to pair it with a 'cool outfit'.
• A fellow collector agrees that rules are meant to be interpreted, affirming that the Hautlence watch is indeed 'sweet enough' to justify MTR's unconventional choices.
