Dreamers…
My wife and I celebrated another wedding anniversary recently. I thought about when I gave her the Cartier. It feels like yesterday, but was years ago; a watch she’d dreamed of as a teenager. I got myself the Calatrava recently after an ordeal that made me feel I might have earned it. But really it remains an object I try to live up to. It often feels like time goes by too fast. I try to take the attitude that we have just enough moments to hopefully experience some of those dreams. Have a great weekend, all.

Very well said.
Congratulations and may you fulfill many more of your dreams together! Cheers Marc!
Sometimes we realize that time is much more than the watches we so admire…
It’s good to take a step back once in a while and consider what happened with all that time that passed, and what to do with what still lies ahead of us. Thank you for sharing your thoughts here. I wish you many beautiful moments ahead! Daniel
Thx Daniel.
I completely agree. The collecting of fine watches is, at least on one key level, our expression of appreciation for the little time we have. Thx for sharing your thoughts and have a great weekend.
