Something I recently thought about with my watch collecting hobby and how it began. My short story about my watch collecting is the fact that at a very young age I always felt the need and want to be on time to things. Whether it was critical timely occasions or as simple as dinner reservations. Since I was a child, as long as I remember I have been a punctual person. I think because of this personality trait I always felt the need to have a watch on and because I always felt the need to have a watch on, it might as well be something pretty and interesting to look at. This drove me deeper into the depths of horology. I believe part of this trait ultimately lead me to become a WIS...for the last 20 years. Even in the age of cell phones I feel like a prick (sorry to be so vulgar) whipping out my cell phone every so often to look at the time which I always seem to want to know. To simply and discreetly look at a pleasant piece of micro mechanical machinery makes my want for knowing the time that much more enjoyable and buying watches justifiable. Its funny because my wife knows this trait of mine and agrees its much more appropriate glancing at my watch then whipping out of cell phone at dinner and in front of friends/family/guests. Do most of you other guys consider yourselves punctual and sort of incorporate that into why you began your watch collection? Do you agree one of the advances a traditional time piece will have over any modern smart phone is that fact one can discreetly look at the time and its less rude, I think most would agree. Now...
