She knows my enthusiasm for watches and decided to make one for my birthday. I wore it to brunch with the family (along with a VC on the other wrist) and will cherish it. My latest “independent.”

Key Points from the Discussion

The handmade watch is described as a fantastic and heartwarming gift, with its unique design choices, such as inward angles, humorously noted as potentially superior to professional finishing.
The author playfully suggests his toddler's watch might be an homage to the Heuer Monaco, attributing its square shape to her current inability to cut perfect circles.
The gift is recognized as incredibly special and endearing, highlighting the unique color combinations chosen by the child.
Many contributors emphasize that such a personal, cherished gift is a true 'keeper' and holds more value than any luxury timepiece.

Fantastic and heartwarming gift! :-) And look at those inward angles in purple -- apparently, the younger they are the better!! ;-))) Thanks for sharing this special moment with the forum, and of course, Happy Birthday also from us!🙏🥂

Thank you

Some interesting design choices she made. I like to think of it as an homage to the Heuer Monaco, but I think she just can’t cut a circle yet.

No better watch than that.

As the saying goes: “that’s a real keeper!”
