Years ago when I was a younger man, I was in a bookstore in Portland, OR reading the latest edition of a wristwatch magazine. The IWC DaVinci was on the cover. There was an older man standing next to me, reading the same magazine. I commented on how spectacular the IWC DaVinci was...he chuckled, said 'I agree' and lifted his shirt sleeve to show me the very same IWC DaVinci he was wearing. We shared a really cool watch moment over a really cool watch. It was a good day :)

This is the one KZitem channel that I subscribe to - it combines the wit of Top Gear and the seriousness of the BBC Radio 4 Shipping Forecast. Were the presenter ever to be revealed, a certain ex-presenter of Top Gear would be sent packing from his new role and everybody's mind would turn to watches. The tone is clear, the wit is often found only on the second listening, but ultimately there has never been as much as a disfluency, unless deliberately, in all the episodes I have watched. The research is so in depth, that a second viewing is about as revealing as the first!

The engineering, the planning, the history, the complications! Smart watches are nothing compared to this. I'm just waiting for watch with a small screen in one corner of the face that displays app notifications from my phone. Extra points if they allow me to play and pause music from the watch buttons itself. I just want an excuse to sue my watch more, rather than fumble with my phone.

I'm not a huge fan of Rolex watches. But the fact remains that they're great investment watches, they never lose their value. Ofcourse you don't buy watches to sell but it gives certain sense of security or I don't know, feels better to own a watch that's gonna be of the same value or even more after 20 years.
