Watch ⌚ & Pen 🖋️ [1]

Now you need one of these to go with that pen...maybe when you are heading up your own law firm...

Nice timepieces! As for the law firm, I've had my own for a while, going to be 11th this year lol

I would wear a Moonswatch, even if I was the President of a sovereign state.

Oh yeah, I do and I am.. the Sovereign State of Buckyland, where the house I live in is called Buckingham Palace.

Montblanc and Omega 😉

Caran d’ache and Squale 👍

Boheme Rouge and Ocean Star on trial notes.

I wonder how many total lawyers who collect watches and pens there are around here?

I have one of those I modified and put into a metal case.

I used to collect fountain pens (mainly) while working as I thought a architect should carry a nice writing instrument. Now I rarely use them since retirement but do still occassionally ink one.

PS: Like any collector, I got carried away and now have many nice pens boxes filled with pens/pencils that are rarely used these days.

Their recent watch releases have been pretty much on the mark. I’ve started strolling through the boutique to look at more than their pens

In your photo the pen is mightier than the watch.

Beautiful 🖊 I have one of their ballpoint ones but your penmanship is exquisite

New addition, made in TX, WOE approved lol!

Who says you can't bring a little elegance when down in the dirt...👌🏻🤘🏻🤙🏻.

Also a fan of the Mont Blanc pens. And also used to own a Montblanc Star Chrono: it was a truely lovely watch (and only gone from the collection because it was stolen).

I bought a Mont Blanc 149 because, just like a Submariner, it’s the one you “have to have.” I didn’t like it. It was just a black and gold pen. Much the way the Submariner is just a black dial, steel watch. I know there’s history there, but I just couldn’t see the hype. I have since bought and sold a Namiki Enperor and a Pelican M1000. I love fountain pens. I think my most expensive now, though, is a Platinum 3776 amongst a sea of TWSBIs. 🤣

Also, here’s why I love watches and fountain pens. Because despite the analog nature of both of them and being technologies that should have been rendered obsolete years ago, they are still huge markets.

My brother has gone to Japan twice and bought me watches & pens. On his first trip, he got me a Seiko SARX055 and a Pilot Custom 743. Both of these were Japanese exclusives back then. On his second trip, he got me a Seiko SPB143 and a Pilot Vanishing Point.

Great post - it’s these memories that are truely special - I’ve got a few of these moonswatches and as you say - they’re a nice bit of fun…👍 BTW - did you purchase the rubber strap locally?

No, I got it overseas forgot where... once I find it, I will reach out to you!

Thanks - a few on eBay I know all overseas
