Great story, meaning, emotions, here is My Story

A small story I would like to share.

I am wearing right now a Constellation 1950’s Grand Luxe with out date a piece I enjoy so much as for the meaning first emotionaly and then because of the wonderfull work I have. Let me just tell you the story.

This watch was bought by my grandfather in his early 20's when he became elected for office were I lived before in Mexico (Durango) -now I live in Mexico City- he told me that he bought this watch with his first pay check, it was given to me when I was 17 (I turned 22 on July). I am sorry to say that this watch was not valued by me at the time as being an all gold piece (more over with a gold bracelet). I used a Yacht Master and a Malte Vacheron during that stage of my life. I only used the superb Omega on my prom night.

I have always loved watches my first “fine” piece was a Datejust with jubilee bracelet that was offered to my grandfather in the Senate I got it when I was 12, alldought I really do not like Rolex anymore -since I was twelve I have learned, aprreacite and broaden my horizons- this piece has also a nice feeling to it as I has been with me for a long time, alldough I don’t use it anymore.

You know life can be so special, when I finished higschool I whanted to be a Chef as being a watchmaker or working for a match brand would be difficult and maybe imposible, don’t ask mw why, but I felt like when a small boy claims” I want to be an Astronaut”, cute but you might think,get real…

Just a few years latter, I must say that I am deeply proud, optimistic and filled with joy as believe it or not I have the greatest honor of being the Store Manager of the Omega Boutique in Mexico City. Two years working with this incredible company, “The Myth” as I call it. Of living a dream , enjoying and promoting this message of tradition and passion a passion that fills me everyday.

Know when I see this piece on my wrist working with Omega at my early 20’s that was given by my grandfather, I can feel proud, lucky if you may; ¿is it faith? I don’t know I just know life is good.
