    Yes, yes, these things (watch and event) can be a bit boring.

    I can't say anything about the event but I can say that the watch is not boring.

    Thanks, Henry.

    I'm wearing my vintage three handers less and less often. I always was - and still am - more of a chronograph's fan. That doesn't mean I can't appreciate simpler, more classic designs. But maybe my tastes are going back to my youth or, in other words: a traditional middle-age crisis, perhaps ...who knows?!

    Tastes change. I used to hate every chronograph made and then I bought my Eterna Moonphase on a whim. Now I own several and covet a few more, but I may be moving towards simpler things. Maybe even a two hander. It may be how we keep ourselves interested in... well, anything.

    Two handers can be satisfying:

    But - why not go all the way to a one-hander?

    I particularly like the 24-hour style, with 12 at the top:

    Now, if I could only get one of these in manual-wind, sans Date.

    I am not against one handers, Ken. I already have one and if a Schauer one hander came up at the right price I would snap it up in an instant. Here is my Meistersinger:

    Yes, I have my eye on that one. Does it come without a date (and without a papered-over date wheel)?
