My eyes fell on this watch en passant a couple of years ago. My initial reaction was "Oh, what's that?" and that was about it.

Then in about the same timeframe as you mention above, I began to circle it with greater intent, finally acting on it last month. Apparently it had made more of an initial impression on me than I realised. I found photos of it on my phone dating back two years, so I suppose it was just sitting in my subconscious gestating.
As for the recent flurry of interest, I can't explain it. A Collected Man has recently list one or two choice references from around 2000, so maybe visibility like that is moving the needle a little? Who knows?
And like you, I find the circular watch you mention (either the Memory Time or Automatique) just as attractive. So much so that I've just bought the latter and expect it to arrive in a few weeks' time.
Enjoy your contemplations.
