A Rainy Autumn Afternoon
What is it about watches that evoke a feeling of nostalgia - a vivid memory of times gone by? This Seiko of mine isnt vintage - Its the latest one by Seiko as a tribute to Bruce Lee - I just put a red nato on it today to fit the colors of autumn spread all across my backyard and while taking snaps of this watch on a rainy day in this beautiful autumn season I couldnt help but remember my childhood and the first time my dad had taken me along with him to a movie theatre to watch "Enter the Dragon" which became the most iconic martial arts movie of all time - That was the beginning of my love for martial arts - and now after more than 4 decades of that day, here I am; still a martial arts lover, a black belt in Taekwondo as well as someone pursuing black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, standing under the rain, remembering my two Senseis - My late father who inspired me to pursue every interest and hobby in life be it music, clothes, art, and yes watches; and the Dragon Lee for inspiring me to pursue perfection in everything I do in life - Both are long gone to the next world but an object on my wrist, this one watch was able to take me to all those memories in a split of a second like some sort of a time travel portal, making me remember the influences we have as children and how it shapes our lives - There is a reason why watches are special to us,the watch obsessed community - they are not merely time-telling objects - they are Time itself for us and we see time differently
Isnt it poetic and beautiful that these little pieces of metal we wear on our wrists to tell us time are one of the few timeless things left in this world of fast fashion & changing trends - I am Sam...
Looks great with the red!
Love the watch and matching it with the season 🍂 and so eloquently said...it's true watches evoke very personal memories and it's one of the things in life that you can carry on forward - a legacy if you may in a small package.
