With this one, it’s quite often a proactive choice that I need this one today.
I’d say 60/70% of the time intentionally chosen because I know there’s a little uplift or boost by having it on the wrist.
I would also add, regardless of what we might say about showing off, posturing or peacocking or whatever we call it when one knowingly wears a high end watch on their wrist, and I’ve sold watches because their signaling was too much (think Nautilus as an example), there is still a little bit of that in all of us.
This watch, gives one a bit of that too. Although to a much much narrowing audience.
My Happy Watch : Let’s talk about feelings !
Always, always, lifts the day. Most definitely my happy watch if there is such a thing. Many watches on the wrist elicit certain feelings. Sometimes these are memories, and there is probably nothing stronger than memories of good times or people associate...
That is a good looking watch!!!
It makes me happy just to see you wear it! It's still my favorite Urwerk!
Unfortunately it's a limited new model. The model won't surprise you...
I'm not sure where I'm going to put it. Maybe in Japan? ...
Ah, yes, I am not surprised by this.
I’ve seen it in person, it is very very cool. Very. Cool. The ultimate stealth Urwerk, because you leave it at home ! 😂
That really is a stunning looking Urwerk UR-105 CT Kryptonite.
Just as well you're not Superman, but I don't think non-watch people would understand the emotional attachment or for that matter joy a watch can bring us lunatics. But of course most if not all of us here get what you are talking about. Marc
Haha, thanks Marc.
If folks here don’t get it then there’s no hope in the regular world! This one is not the Kryptonite, it’s the just the regular version from the initial release / run. Not a huge difference between the two, both being somewhat stealthy given the PVD coati...
Agree with you about these URs
When you see it in the box you think okay thats a cool watch but strapped on your wrist i think F… thats a really uber cool piece and puts a smile on my face each time I look at it . Can’t wait to get it back from spa 🫣 ...
I love Urwerk watches🔥
And would love to have one, just a bit beyond my means right now. Thus I satisfied my urge for a wandering hours watch with this ATOWAK. It’s a nice change of pace from classically styled watches. ...
Jay, I love your post!
I totally agree with you when you said what you said about long established collectors... A watch is like a piece of Art, a strong and personal / private relation between it and you. Some will understand, others won't. Who cares? After all, you bought it ...
Truly enjoyed reading this, Jay. It resonates (though not as in "Resonance").
Knowing that this watch tends to make you feel a certain way, are you intentional about wearing it on certain days, in order to engender that feeling? Or do you just put it on like any other watch in the rotation, with no conscious regard to how it'll mak...
