What a great city for a GTG, hopefully there will be another one soon…….

And having that same moment of realization that Charlton Heston had when he saw the Statue of Liberty in Planet of the Apes.

So whatever one watch you choose, the universe of what-it-is-not is really large. So you’d need to be comfortable never owning a timepiece in that universe. For most of us with a genuine love of horology, that’s a difficult proposition indeed.

As I’ve grown older, I’ve come to see adversity as a gift: It is a chance to display our character or to learn something new about ourselves.

I don’t think anyone can ever overestimate the bond and affection we have with our fury companions. Last year when my divorce was finalized, my ex-wife was granted all of our household possessions. I got Malcolm, our twelve-year-old Cornish Rex. I’d do that deal again a hundred times over.

2020 was such a profound year for me, and it wasn't just COVID, that I've walked away with a deep appreciation for what I have and practically no desire to add anything new. If was the first year in 17 years that I did not buy a new watch and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

My dream car would be a 2015 Aston Martin Vanquish, their grand tourer and the last year of the naturally-aspirated V12. I promised myself that before I pull the trigger, I will test-drive a Tesla for comparison. I think a small part of me will be heart-broken if I prefer the Tesla.

I remember the first time I saw a video of the original Deep Space. Just, wow, and so much better than the pics.....
