It's a serious question . . .

. . . and one that's been on my mind lately for reasons not directly related to aging. I'll be relocating in the not-too-distant future to a rural community, without access to a watchmaker, much less my watchmaker (who's set to retire soon, anyways). What will become of my collection then?
I'll hold onto it as long as possible as it still gives me joy. But when it can't be maintained . . .

I realize there no answer to the question but opinions are always interesting. For the older members of the forum, given life expectancies, does there come a time when you determine the cost of ownership outweighs the potential duration of ownership and y...

I’m sorry that you had to go through this life changing event. It’s true that we should make every day count and live life to the full.

for some it's searching out the good wine to be shared with an increasingly fewer number of dear friends. For me, the reason to consider a new acquisition has become more complex. There are new and different constraints / considerations... the process tak...
Yes. Not only cost of ownership vs duration of ownership but also..

Duration of ownership vs midterm/longterm value. I do ask myself the question do i bail out on some pieces while i can or do i keep it because of 1) sentimentality 2) the perceived notion that it’s a “good investment” 3) “it still makes me smile” 4) vanit...
Great question.
