Horological Meandering

Forgot to put a watch on today in a rush to get the toddler to childcare. Hate it when this happens. I should get an "emergency car watch" stored in the glovebox. Have a good week ppl!...  

Throw a smart watch in your glovebox. This will firstly make you never forget a real watch anymore and secondly make you happy if someone broke into your car. Win win situation if you\'d ask me ;-)

. . . and definitely don't need to buy another watch, but somehow, they keep coming, like . . . . . . tribbles.

What does the Moderator say about wrist nudity in this forum? Contributors, please keep this family friendly, I implore you. Parents, shield your childrens' innocent minds. Oh and if you're at the office, I hope you had the Excel spreadsheet handy in case... 

I snorted coffee out do my nose when I read this. So now I have no watch and coffee stain on my shirtfront. What a day :-(

But nudity is frowned upon around here.

Too too painful

There can be no blame ascribed but there must be correction immediately. I do agree that it is not wise to keep a watch in the car. When the sun is out the interior temperature could escalate and could cook the watch esp the oil in it. Not to mention the ... 

Can\'t I just get a warning for the first "offence".

Put the watch on, then the pants (skirts or dresses for ladies) when getting dressed. Not sure how the order was muddled up here.

- 1) Nappy needs changing (not on myself, mind you). Decision - watch on or off? (Decided "off" re potential contamination 2) give child breakfast. Decision - watch on or off? (Decided "off" re potential contamination with porridge. 3) Rush out the door. ... 

1. Watch on wrist 2. Bubble wrap watch on wrist 3. Deal with the kid stuff

!

Don\'t think that the Geneva convention is dealing with this.

It would actually be REALLY interesting how long a purist can last without a watch. 1 day was BAD - I can tell you

I am always out of my mind. It is only the degree that varies over time ;-) No watch is only the logical next level. And the advantage would be that such a contest would last one week max

Is it still called a wrist watch if you "strap it on" elsewhere on the body in a nudist camp. I am asking for a friend ;-) Obviously, Feel free to make further jokes on the "strap it on" line

Definitely not keeping a mechanical watch in the car in Aussie heat! Maybe a quartz beater ?

Good idea. Might actually stash one under a seat

I wouldn\'t be surprised to see that every second Purist has one in the box.

I have done this too.....and I have no wife or toddlers so they can't be to blame..!! Friends at work do comment that how can I forget to put on a watch when I have so many..!! Ha ha Andy

... but not in the daily driver's glove box. A hand-winding Glycine Incursore is stored in my offroad camper. So in case I damage, or - worse even - loose my "real timepiece", I have at least a solid and well legible watch as a backup: Marcus ...  

I don\'t wear during the week either because they are too sporty or too special and dear to chance them at work. Every watch does have its place and its role so that the weekend watches do signify escape and separation from work.

as good as wearing one, especially if your safety deposit box is topped with luxury/collector pieces Cheers Edward
