Horological Meandering

A quartz watch that is. I am considering adding a quartz watch to the collection. Nothing fancy, just something I can strap on for the weekends, or when everything else has stopped running and I don't want to wind and set. I saw a Longines VHP GMT posted ... 

But I do have a tungsten carbide and 18K Rado from 1999. Being TC it's practically indestructible although very heavy for it's size. Still looks like the day I bought it. ...  

The only reason to avoid a watch because it's quartz is snobbery.

Don’t go.

If you like it, get it & enjoy it I have a few quartz swatches - fun pieces & don't break the bank Even have a Gshock. All part of the fun 🙂 Cheers JML ...  

no longer made but fantastic value if you can find one. These are a bit of a cult quartz watch now 🙂 ...  

quartz is certainly part of the history of horology. I would not mind owning a Girard Perregaux with the Caliber 350 or Beta 21 movement. ...  

Another inexpensive, but nicely styled line of quartz watches is Dan Henry. He also happens to be a prolific watch collector, and uses iconic watch styles from his collection to inspire his quartz line. I love wearing the 1962 panda. A great watch for kno...

I bet I change 10 a month for just family and friends. Cazalea

Everyone has a task like this. I’ll do it tomorrow.

...especially when I travel or go into the city...

I don’t see anything wrong with that - some argue that it has no soul, but I personally think that’s a personal opinion, as there are a lot of nice quartz watches that are immaculately made and also take years of development by the watchmakers. FPJourne a... 

Agree. And sure, a quartz can have a soul. I discovered my watch have it. I think it is a total package of a watch that brings the soul to a peace. Let’s say, if the build quality is good and it fits the owner good on the wrist, the good match brings the ... 

At least I don’t mind , its all about the watch itself imo . I recently added a few Casioak watches and love them .

The Bruno Söhne is for events when I want to avoid attention. The dual timer is for destinations where I'm cautious about security. I hang both from hooks in my dressing room to serve as clocks when I'm not wearing them.

When choosing a Longines Conquest V.H.P. The most important to measure your wrist. Take attention of the size. The straps: Not only looks, wear comfort is important. A bracelet, rubber or leather, try all the possibilities. The Conquest have pushpins for ... 

... you need to have more than one! Two of my solar/quartz (guilty) pleasures say Hi! Plus I have a couple of G shocks lying around somewhere. ...  

Is way too short for either or in a collection. I do own many.
