Watches & special occasions
I would like to see and read some of your best memories attached to your watches.
Why the person who gave you the watch is important?
Why buying that specific watch was a memorable occasion?
What of that wakes it so special to you?
I'd love to read you ladies and gentlemen!

I bought a Bond era Seamaster (2006-2010 version). Applied indices and markers. Beautiful blue with the wave dial. It is quartz but I wanted that. I got it because I loved the blue seamaster in GoldenEye and Casino Royale. Quartz is more accurate and its a quality movement. I got the watch as my first luxury watch when I graduated college. It was my grail.
Included this recently in a post, but…
For my wedding in September I wore my dads two tone Rolex Datejust Wimbledon Dial. I had purchased a Longines Master Collection Barleycorn Dial for the occasion, but the day before my dad called and asked if I’d wear his watch instead. The meaning and memories now attached to it for the both of us is really special.
On our honeymoon, I was lucky to find and purchase the blue BB58 in Geneva on the first day. The whole purchasing experience was quite unique and is a good (but long) story. I proceeded to wear it (almost) every minute of the trip and the feeling/memories attached to the new watch are already amazing.
Bon jour, monsieur. Here's a post I made of why my Citizen 1030-R11008 dress watch is the M.V.P., the Most Valuable Piece, in my humble collection.
