The One That Started the Addiction: The Gateway Drug
My first “real watch,” given to me by my parents at graduation nine years ago. This is the Citizen Chrono Time AT. What it lacks in an automatic movement and a mechanical heartbeat, it more than makes up for with its soul-like connection to the Atomic Clock, synchronizing with it every 12:00 midnight. It certainly is, for me, an “elegant instrument, from a more civilized age.”

Nice. Doesn’t matter that it’s not mechanical. It’s a really sentimental piece celebrating a milestone and being your first real watch. Never sell it

Thanks, Daniel! I think we all have that one piece with tons of sentimental value and memories attached to them that we’ll cherish and hold onto for years to come.
That’s a beautiful watch, Stu. I completely agree with you—I think Citizen always offers dependable, quality pieces at an affordable, reasonable price. I don’t think I’ve had a Citizen that has failed me yet, after all these years, to be honest with you.
