I’ve taken the liberty of changing your “one watch one milestone” into “1 date, 2 milestones, 8 watches”
And there is very special reason for that.
1 DATE
August 2017
2 MILESTONES
We learned that my wife was for one year free of cancer whilst year before Outlook was grim with max 3 months left
In that same week we completed the acquisition of my firm by a global leading firm and all shares were transferred in that same week
So two life-changing major events, both required massive time and effort but neither one was completely within our control.
We are thankful both events had positive outcome and within the same week
8 WATCHES
I realized our lives would never be the same again and that we entered into a new era. And with “our” I not only meant my wife and me but also family and other shareholders in our firm
To celebrate and mark the occasion(s) I bought:
For my wife: VC Overseas 3 rose gold diamonds
For my daughter: JLC Reverso Small Duo (back dial black with diamonds)
For my daughter in law; Omega Seamaster Aquaterra
For my son: IWC Pilot Watch Mark XVIII Le Petit Prince
And for the 2 very special guys in the firm without whom this would never have happened I bought same IWC as for my son.
That’s 7 watches
Number 8 was for myself: VC Harmony Moon phase
And to circle back to ONE MILESTONE, I’ve tried to capture that by putting all these watches into one wooden container to symbolize these watches are all linked to this one date in August 2017.
(The omega and JLC are not with me here so inserted printed pic, looks bit silly but captures the connection)
Thanks for reading
