I have a Longines myself. Excellent brand.
Sorry to hear about your dog. I know losing a pet can feel like a family member. That is really cool that the watch brand shares the name and you resonate with the watches. Pretty awesome. I'd buy a Titus watch if one existed for my passed bull terrier haha.
I'll check them out for sure.
It's super interesting, because when I first got into watches, I didn't even think about durability. In fact my first luxury watch had a titanium case, so I figured it was indestructible. Because if this, that watch has been with me all over the world. I am not rough with it but it has slammed against surfaces a handful of times and I even believe I've dropped it from chest height to hard ground a few times. Absolutely no problems.
Servicing? Yeah I get that part. I guess quartz need the battery replaced too which isn't as expensive but still attention.
I would advise to try one out by wearing it like your quartz watches. They are not as fragile as you may believe and if you enjoy watches, I am sure you might like the process of winding it and setting the time every occasion you decide to wear it for.
Just a thought! Cheers.
That is a great looking collection. I honestly am new to this as well so it is cool to see how you approached the pieces as I am still trying to find my identity. I was curious, what watch do you wear the most and which is your favorite?
