Lankysudanese initiates a compelling discussion on a topic many collectors navigate: integrating their horological passion with their significant other's perspective. His personal anecdote about his wife's evolving appreciation for his watches sets the stage for a broader community conversation. This article synthesizes the diverse experiences shared by WatchProSite members, offering insights into how collectors share, or sometimes struggle to share, their love for timepieces.


I wanted to poll the purists, to see how many share the passion (and their timepieces) with my significant others.

My wife thinks that watch collecting is a sign of extreme vanity, and doesnโ€™t like many of my watches. So when she commented on was on my wrist today, complimentarily, I seized the opportunity. I saw this is as potential opening; an olive branch. I immediately took it off and asked her to wear it for the day. She did, and she smiled after she saw it on her wrist. Am I finally getting somewhere? ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿฟโ€โ™‚๏ธ 

So share with us please: what do your significant others think of your watches and your watch collecting hobby/lifestyle/obsession? Are there any watches that they are partial to?

I like to make her happy, because she leads a rather hard life, back in Singapore. To give her something to lift her head up to, and look forward to a better tmr. And then I b

Too bulky hands, one can only use for ortho specialties. Your hands were blessed to plunge into chests, and do micro-level repairs on the hairspring of humans.

The eldest is anxiously waiting in line for a new one as well as my partner. I guess I won't be able to buy anything in the next years for myself!
