Small seconds

Ignored small seconds for years, because three hands on each other was for a reason
logical and the way a clock always looked.
When i stepped out of my habit to ignore small seconds and bought a watch with a small seconds dial, i could not imagine i got so hooked with a small seconds.
It could be i can not accept a small seconds when the dial is at a nine o’clock position, but at a six o’clock position it is a different story.
If i have two watches, one with a central second hand and one with a small seconds hand, i would take the one with small seconds.
I always was sensitive for the second. 60 ticks before it will be 1 minute.
The second is my favorite hand.
In art it grabs me, one second can do a lot in a life. Safe a life. A decision to buy a watch or not.
Too manny seconds can ruin a chronometer certification.

Light on. Weight and shine. Hand in hand.
Gold and white in a 38 mm case, seems to be my perfect match.

Lugs are for sure an important part of a watch.
When for the taste the whole do not look right, the deal cancelled.
If the lugs looks for the taste as a pleasure for the eyes, it is a positive sign.
I like it when lugs are simple and not too crazy.
If a watch is too busy to show that the watch maker made the watch for his philosophy on lugs, i can not look at the watch.

Cancelled details to safe costs on a watch are painful moments for me.
A great looking watch that comes in a cheap paper box ruin everything.
A ugly watch with a fantastic fancy box is good, a nice watch in a fantastic fancy box is a great enjoyment.
