She started it!
For the record, she who was then my future wife bought the family's first mechanical watch while I was still wearing quartz (although, in fairness, I had worn an inherited pocket watch for several years before entering the working world). I eventually passed her in both enthusiasm and number of watches, but not by much. She is a happy participant in PuristsPro in-person events, but only looks at the website when I show her something I think will be of particular interest.

i think being married to a watch obssessed NUT will take its toll on her
my wife knew from the get go that i was heavily involved in the watch life (which i beleive in my head exists and is parrallel to ours) anyway when we travel and lets say were in a shopping mall or high end shopping street and we get parted from each othe...
Maybe...
"i do the hunting and she does the payment" This is amazing. I think many will be jealous of you after reading this. Yes, I have to say it's nice to be able to recognize all sorts of watches in the wild.
Extremely insightful post Ping Tsai
You have touched on a nerve that resonates with me, and I am sure with others. Watch collecting can be an extremely lonely passion when your life partner shows absolutely no interest. Even taking your partner on a watch shopping spree where they can choos...
Lol...
I was trying to think of cool things that people collect. I guess I should have said guns or something, lol Thanks for your comments
Very interesting topic ...
I don't need to do anything. My wife loves watches and digs into my meager set from time to time. Just like me, she experience "phases". Currently she is into complicated dials and hands and her day-to-day one is a Longines: This one is somehow special (t...
The Longines is beautiful!
I have to say that both of you have exceptional taste :) Thank you for your comments and the photo
great topic, something that brings me and SheWhoMustBeObeyed closer
SheWhoMustBeObeyed aka SWMBO was very disinterested in watches, but she recognised and witnessed how horology and collecting has influenced my lifestyle and recreation, and we started coordinating, mostly at my prompting. Now she attends events, was at SI...
And she is a lucky lady.
You seem to be a great couple with a passion in common. You can't ask for any thing more. A couple of his her shots albeit not in the same league. Bill ...
Most definitely
Unfortunately for me many a Rolex has grown legs and found their way to her. Best Bill
hey....what about she is a lucky woman!!! ;)-
I will post more combos in due course....and sometimes very exciting to pair..... best, Horo
Wonderful 'his & hers' series, Horo.
Congratulations on finding the perfect (wrist) partner. Andrew
Power of the wristwatch is too strong :)!
Well at least now your other half shares the passion! Would make watch buying easier
the bad thing is....I can no longer low ball the reported purchase prices!!!
Overheard: HeWithTesticlesOfPanda - Dear, look - this is a simple tourbillon from JLC. Nothing fantastic and cheesy name - Gyro!! just $25k, same as Rolex SheWhoMustBeObeyed - Oh really,didn't we see this at SIHH? I suppose your fellow moderator Nicholas ...
I am very lucky
In some ways, my wife has changed my appreciation of watches. She is the one who introduced Lange to me. On my part, I will share with her information and knowledge I got, bring her to SIHH, watch events and watch nuts GTG and holidays. She enjoys it. I m...
She started it! I am lucky! There are perks!
Ping, You put into words what I must have known...was doing.....but not articulated. Like MKVC's and Ling's experience with their spouses, the current Mrs MTF was the mechanical watch collector before we got married. She had assembled vintage cast-offs fr...
MTF, we have multiple rare watches in common!
Such as the P10 Gerber, and Pikto Smileday! Not to mention the ABR Cazalea
All 3 watches belong to Mrs MTF and we have
cazalea, All 3 watches you named belong to the current Mrs MTF...they were confiscated. We have two PuristSPro ABR watches to ensure that I get one... Regards, MTF ...
