A reward for hard times

A little over 2 years ago I was diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer. It was an extremely difficult time in my life as my daughters were only 13 at the time and I'm a single father. I've been through surgery, radiation therapy. And just yesterday finished a two year course of hormone therapy. I can't tell you how hard emotionally and physically this has been, especially with an extremely busy schedule at work and as a parent. About a year ago I became interested in horology and it has become my oasis in the storm. I have a very nice collection at this point but I knew that I had to do something special for myself to celebrate the end of my treatment. This watch came today after a ridiculous 30 days of trying to get it from Germany to my home in Indiana. Looking at the beauty of this piece almost makes me cry.

There aren’t enough watches in the world. I’m glad you found horology as a distraction, and that you found a piece that will help you meaningfully mark a milestone on a brutal slog. I’m grateful beyond words that your daughters will continue to have you as dad on the daily and as an example of how to face life’s challenges. Enjoy nice watches, wonderful kids, and the blessing of as much health as you can get your hands on!
