Horological Meandering

She understands me. Not always with my purchases. But in principle. I hope so, at least. Hahahahaha And I always emphatically assure her how much the value of my watches is and that this is a great investment („A reallocation of assets is not a real expen...  

But you can’t hide any new acquisition… 😉

Excellent! I hope you always find your buried treasures again. 😁

with my wife.

But she received a nice Basculante watch for our first daughter's birth. She has worn it non-stop for 14 years now and will pass it on to our eldest when she reaches 18. My watches keep coming and going in- and out of the collection but she must have a se...  

The question is, is it zen or just lesser interest? 😊 “Normal” people cannot always understand our passion. In any case, I think it's wonderful that your wife has worn your gift for 14 years and is going to hand it to your eldest daughter. That means that... 

I hope to grow up [horologically] to be just like you. Lovely watches, as well

I'm not sure if it's a (watch) nirvana, but it's definitely ... enjoyable. Although I have to admit that in spite of everything, I sometimes have a guilty conscience when I come home with a new watch… 😎 All the best Thomas

My wife prefers her iWatch alas to my mechanical watches!

Does your wife understand if you come home with a new watch every now and then? Cheers Thomas

… dangerous. It depends. 😅

Just added this to the collection. Took a photo of it the first time it was worn out. The wrist wearing it was…not my own… What can I say? Mrs E has good taste? “What’s yours is mine”, after all… Best E.

„What’s yours is mine” sounds … dangerous to me. Very very dangerous. Cheers Thomas P.S.: Unfortunately, your photo is not visible when opening your post. Can you try it once more?

Let me try again, now using the web interface…did it work? ...  

This is a very beautiful PC from PP. What is its case size? I like the hobnail bezel on this version. Cheers Thomas

Pretty much the perfect size as far as I’m concerned, which (in keeping with the theme of the thread) is to say it looks good on both Mr and Mrs…! Best E.

You both really wear your watches alternately? In this case, I bow reverently and express my greatest admiration. Especially to you. LOL I don't know if I could take this…. 😅 Best Thomas

Well, only some watches. Mostly she has hers and I have mine. There are a few which we can both wear. I don’t mind - helps to ensure support Best E.

😁😉

Mine eyes me like a hawk, she always says quality over quantity. But I like some quantity, equally enjoying a Tag Heuer to a Grand Seiko. She asks me to sell some seldom worn pieces away, but I find all of them sentimental, like distance markers on a mara... 

A „tricky balance“ …. Very well said. Every now and then I sell a watch that I rarely wear and for which the fire is not really burning or has even gone out to fund a grail watch. This is good and important in order to be able to enjoy each watch of your ... 

I will tell my wife about your compliment about her Moser. Best Thomas

Dear Thomas, Thanks for raising this question - very interesting indeed. With my wife, I would describe the situation like that: she understands why I’m passionate about watches, she (mainly) accepts my focusing so much time on it, she learned to like the...  

very interesting thoughts and insights. Wonderful picture. Thanks for posting it. 😊 Cheers Thomas

This is a fantastic pair. What is the diameter of the Datejust? I wish the small Overseas automatic was 35 mm instead of 37 mm.

We actually have been proceeding the same way for every major investment (House, Car, Wakeboard boat, Timepiece) for as long as I can remember. And we have involved the Kids in the decisional process at a young age. The result is that nowadays, my kids lo...

Having permission is always comforting. 😁 Very nice Breguets by the way! Cheers Thomas
