Horological Meandering

This morning when I opened IG my soon to be ten year old daughter saw a picture of a world timer and thought that this could be a great present for her upcoming birthday (like father like daughter I suppose 😂). Now a 5110P might not quite be what I had in...  

Or Frederique Constant. I try to save costs... Best, Nicolas ...  

...  

How much smaller is the vintage?

Will need to check for size and weight 🤞🏻

Another potential candidate could be Longines??

It was actually this Mido that I had in mind! ...  

The one that came to my mind is this: Kinda microbrand but a GPHG winner…lightweight (less than 100g in steel with rubber strap) that should be wrist friendly for a 10YO. However time reading is not conventional but not difficult… ...  

But it looks like 47mm 😱 Very cool idea definitely 👍🏻

Here is the event coverage! www.watchprosite.com I still remember when the representative of the company accepted the award, she gave a great speech in English, Chinese, and some French. Chinese watches will one day thank this watch for paving the... 

I didn't really get to try on the watch in person. So I can't say if I fully recommend it. But it was definitely a huge surprise that it won! And after seeing the watch and reading the specs, I have to admit, it did win deservedly. It wasn't the watch I w... 

This should be plenty for a 10 year old, don't you think? Best, E. Ps: ref BJ9121-57A 40mm dial ...  

Anyone with experience? That one was done in cases down to 36mm I believe 🤷🏻‍♂️

The MB Orbis Terrarium is a little thick and not quite elegant enough for a young lady. I think you're going to have to stick with a Patek 5110!

I think the better version is that I follow the company motto, get one for myself and take good care of it for her for later 😂😂😂

Cheers, Dirk ...  

Thanks for the suggestion, though 👍🏻

A little big, but fun! I like the flags!

It sounds like what she wants is attention from you, and perhaps to spend some special time together. I say this because I have three small children and a similar predicament. The older ones see me frequently on my phone on IG looking at watches, and have... 

Over the last year and a half I have both drastically reduced my online watch activities, as well as almost stopped it in the presence of children. Your point there is very valid and apt. They have both expressed an interest in a watch or two at times (an... 

If they still make them.

Offer a globe 🤷🏻‍♂️

Let’s see what comes out of it 👍🏻

... (except the earlier versions of Patek which are delicious but prices make them out of reach of course). I think the best option is the Ebel Votager WT which has a 38 mm case but regrettably is out of production so you should look in the vintage or pre...  

It certainly is an interesting piece and a nice memento of the not too distant horological past - let me see if I find a decent example for her 😊👍🏻
