Celebrating a Birth!
Three years ago this month I purchased a Speedmaster Professional to celebrate the birth of my son. At an appropriate age, I’ll take it off my wrist and give it to him.
Three weeks ago my second son was born. To celebrate his birth, I decided on the Seamaster Diver 300M (ref 210.30.42.20.03.001). It’s beautiful, and a wonderful compliment to the Speedy.
Welcome to the world, little man. I’ll take good care of your Seamaster.

Congrats to you and your family!
May your sons be grateful and proud to wear them.
Congratulations! Great way to celebrate.
What if boy #1 wants the Seamaster and boy #2 wants the Speedmaster? You'll have to buy 2 more watches!
A great duo! Congratulations on your new arrival too.
Congrats mate, good choices 👏🏻
I'd love to hear of this planned legacy or heirloom rationale coming to fruition. For now, I always think of this article below.

Congratulations! As someone who has received heirloom watches, for me they’ve been a meaningful way to connect with my family. Hopefully my daughters will appreciate theirs some day.

Interesting article. Marketing is precise, that’s for sure. I especially enjoyed two things. First, the quote ‘The point isn't to give it to the kid, the point is to convey the impression that he is going to give it to the kid.” Of course by posting these pics there might be a little of that. But this was something I considered long before the first was born. Then there’s the bit about marketing to Mom. ‘Where’s dad? At work, or one of those eyes wide shut parties”. Haha.
In the end, I’m a watch nerd thru and thru, and I hope both my boys take an appreciation to them as well. Not necessarily to tell time, but rather what they mean. A celebration of a milestone. An appreciation of nice things. The value of being deliberate and intentional in your morning when you select a watch and precisely set the date. Taking care of one’s things. The value of being on time. Etc.
Maybe they’ll think it foolish, and not care at all. Time will tell. And if WatchCrunch is still around, I’ll document that passing of the torch.
Congrats! I love that idea of buying a watch at the birth of your child, for him to one day wear. Now if I have a girl what should I get

If this was a girl, I was going JLC Reverso. :)
Congratulations on the greatest blessing one can ask for!
Congrats on your newborn and the new watch!
