Blog Comments

Thanks for your comments, guys! Indeed, Dan, I'm mostly discussing the hobby mindset, when it becomes a bit more engulfing than just telling the time. There's a certain point when I realized that for me at least, the very idea of time is interesting. And thanks for reading, Ismy. I probably spend too much time pondering. But then, I enjoy a bit of reflection from time to time.

great read and something to ponder

Most likely a combination of all of the above? I wear a quartz watch when I need to know the time but acknowledge that I may have to put my hand in the chute of a lawn mower and do not wish to mar my even my Seiko 5S.

I mostly wear a mechanical watch and never even look at my cellphone for time, mainly because I want to say that I don't rat's patootie about precision time keeping. Life is much easier without it.

But I wear a watch because I need to know when I have to start work, when I can end it, and how much time do I have before I need to be there.

I think the hobby part starts when you have more than a couple.

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

Fascinating piece, Robert.

Luckily it comes with a 10x lupe. Trust me, I need it too!

Ye-gads! With my poor eye-sight, I could not use it. But thanks for the wonderful post and explanation. And I thought my JLC Master Moon was a toughie!

Thanks! I plan to write some new blogs after I get a deadline out of my way.

wonderful

That is a complicated watch! But it's beautiful and interesting, at the same time. Thank you very much for the - very informative - review.
