Timex is for the birds.

Welcome! Those are some weird watches you have. You’ll find a fair number of Canadians on here.

Thank you for that information, @PhilMC . That may well be their modern marketing slogan, but as TGV explains at 3:22 of his video, the founder combined his mother’s name, Victoria, with Inox, the widely used term for stainless steel, as he started manufacturing cutlery.

Greetings from the colonies!

“Inox”, which forms the last part of “Victorinox”, is the European term for stainless steel (inoxidizable, i.e., unrustable). Adding the Inox name to a titanium product doesn’t make a lot of sense, but perhaps there’s something going on here that I’m not aware of.

Since you already have a Casio, three Invictas, a Cadisen, a Pagani Design and an Addiesdive, it is apparent that you are a value buyer. That’s your happy place. Spending big bucks on a storied name may not bring you any more satisfaction than another Casio, other than showing that you are now in the “big leagues”.

Once the affluent have all the things they want, they start spending their money on experiences. Perhaps wearing your present collection of watches while exploring the world will bring more satisfaction than another watch. At 54, you have a heck of a lot of miles left in you. As suggested above, getting involved in a local charity helping others may bring you more happiness than you expect and provide some purpose in your life.

For a toy, that is impressive clarity.

Good advice. On a sunny summer day, the drive along the south coast of Lac Leman through Ėvian-les-Bains is spectacular.
