Thank you Ken for all the shared bike rides in the Seventies, and for taking the time 30 years later to teach me how to fix watches

Thank you Glenn for allowing me to revive your high school graduation present 



Thank you Brian and Kevin for finding this Benrus

Thank you J-C for being an inspiration to watch lovers everywhere,

 and for signing my watch

Thank you NIck, Stan and Ron for taking me to so many great places in my early watch-collecting years

Thank you KAIROS for being put up on the Internet for sale by Thomas in 2004, and catching my eye, and leading me here

Kairos (καιρός) is an Ancient Greek word meaning the right, critical, or opportune moment. The ancient Greeks had two words for time: chronos (χρόνος) and kairos. 

Chronos refers to chronological or sequential time, while Kairos signifies a proper or opportune time for action. While chronos is quantitative, kairos has a qualitative, permanent nature.

Kairos is a term, idea, and practice that has been applied in several fields including classical rhetoric, modern rhetoric, digital media, science, and Christian theology.

(Thanks Wikipedia for making knowledge so accessible)

And finally, thanks Dr Kim, for saving my life when my arteries were as dysfunctional as your Jubilee bracelet
