Working class hero
Me too.
I am from a coalminers family.
Grandfather worked in the coal mine, my father worked as coal miner. Mothers in factories as labour.
No penny, and after work drinking beer to drunk in bars.
Children hungry because father spend money in the bar.
(not my father).
Coal mines closed decades ago, no jobs anymore.
New factories and new economic solutions brought wealth.
Mothers got more rights, so they punished the drunk husbands, and the alcohol problem went away.
Better health, better working labour.
The working class started to go also on holidays, just like the rich people.
Than the fathers see on the holiday scene, shops with watches, buy a watch, and when times flies the better economic situations bid the opportunity to get a first real Rolex.
The wife changes her cheap necklace for a wealthy Cartier wrist strap.
Albert and his GP Laureato Infinity
Albert is a German Teddy Bear. He was made in 2005 to commemorate a great German scientist. These days; he has retired from nuclear physics, and prefers the simplicity of wristwatches. In his thoughts: “wristwatches represent immortality, because they can...
A relax thread
Perfect for a Saturday morning when awaking. Only a cup of coffee needed. A difficult subject as well, because watches are complex machines which come in many types, sizes, and designs. A Nautilus could be to expensive through market madness, but i know b...
Did u know Einstein had a Longines
I hope you’d find a nice Laureato. How do you find the Laureato Evo3 with a black dial?
All special men
Including you. You wear also Longines. The Laureato Evo3, i do not know. I’ll take the blue dial with blue strap. Or…. the skeleton model. The Zenith of Ghandi. Zenith was on my target, because i want to collect branded watches of special humans. No presi...
nice piece Weems
The blue dial is nice, with a very good lume. I had handled it and considered taking that over this Onyx piece. The skeleton version - I've never seen. I watched videos of it and it's quite nice, but when placed next to the AP RO skeleton, it doesn't look...
GP Laureato
I mean the GP Laureato skeleton which friends here own. I studied administrations. Actually i want to be an industrial designer. One of the best is Gordon Murray, spiritual father of the McLaren F1. Fun to know your profession. You have many jobs i think,...
One has to do everything yes
McLaren designer is from New Zealand I heard. I watched a programme on netflix on Mclaren, it was good! Once I worked in a hotel, and had to open the door of a Mclaren. There was no doorknob, and no one could figure out how to open it.
Every job
Hotel. You worked everywhere for the buck. A hard life. So you know the value of money and to be careful. No government law that protect jobless. First food and drinks to survive, and no place for luxury goods. How different it is here in Europe. A car me...
Yes there is no safety net
In Singapore or Vietnam, when one is jobless, it is a very scary situation. In Australia where I temporarily live, it is comparatively a welfare state. The people are well taken care of by the government. There are schemes to protect the jobless, handicap...

That’s a nice story
I see you are in Netherlands. Are there many flowers where you live?
Where are the famous tulips of Holland Weems
I always imagine Holland to be full of beautiful flowers, gentle people and pleasant weather. =D thanks for the flowers. You make me happy.
Looks neat. Charming watch. Poetic post. Tfs. 👍
The black Laureato infinity. Is growing on me. Cool watch. 😎 Cheers. 🥃💨 Geross.
Thanks Geross
Surprisingly this piece did not sell well. It had been released and the allocation was not fully taken up by the German market, and hence it is circulating in the international market now. Thanks for reading!!
thanks for positive enforcement Nico
sometimes I feel sad when I post something and Nico doesn't answer. But alas Nico has answered. Thanks Nico and God Bless you. I prefer the SLC too. Let's see if Panerai releases a smaller 45mm version with a ceramic or steel case, without the "pig torped...
Thanks for a lovely read
And a great watch! You have made a good choice here. BW, Chi Kai
Thanks Yacomino
Gotta let out some creativity. My minds been locked in some sort of rigidity lately. Work, environment etc caused it. How was your week, my friend?
