SOTC - My watches and why I have them

Nice to find a place with fellow watch nerds interested in this type of thing. Here is my SOTC and more importantly - to me at least - the story:

1. The engagement present from my wife (Omega De Ville 32mm quartz)

2. Working as in-house patent attorney for the Swatch Group in Switzerland in the early 90's: the ones I bought (Omega Speedmaster reduced and Omega Seamaster mid-sized) and the ones I was given (Lemania Chronomatic and Lemania Chronograph)

3. YouTube rabbit hole inspired Casios (3 G-Shocks and an MRW200H)

4. Vostoks - love how they developed their dive watches without access to Swiss patented technology (an Amphibian and 2 Komandirskies)

5. SKX009 (because it's a classic), Omega Seamaster Railmaster (60th birthday present to myself), Hamilton Khaki Automatic (just because) and Maurice Lacroix Les Classiques quartz chronograph (a present for my son, but he didn't want it!)

Love hearing everyone else's stories too!

Thank, I’ve got 3 French and 1 Swiss. Two Laguioles, an Opinel and a real Swiss Army knife given to me by a Swiss reservist.
