To be honest, I tend to drift with my grail watch, because that is what I do. I like so many things about so many watches. But if I had to pick what my grail watch is today, it would have to be the Audemars Piguet Starwheel. Oddly its not the most beautiful watch for me, but it is the most exotic!
My thoughts... I don't hate brands for the sake of hating a brand, but I do despise certain groups of watch collectors who espouse the virtues of one brand as being the only brand that matters... that makes me hate them and then in-turn roll my eyes at the brand.
Bought this for my wife in 2021 from a local AD. So I have a very rare phobia called Kosememophobia (fear of jewelry). Its quite complex and differs based on type of jewelry, metals, construction, how its worn, etc. Not to go deep into it, but my wife doesn't wear jewelry because of it and I am eternally grateful to her for doing that. Because of that, I wanted to give her something that summed up my gratitude and yet was jewelry like and something she could wear EVERYDAY! Her Rolex is her tool watch and I love it. She is not a watch person, but LOVES her watch and has now grown to appreciate its beauty and heritage.
This is true! I was going to state Tag Heuer in my initial post, but Longines is the one I feel the most let down by. You are right about Tag, I don't feel like they are doing anything to push the industry forward. Just languishing... However I do have the Monaco Calibre 11...which has its place in history and in my collection.
I agree. I initially thought the MoonSwatch was a good idea, and then the more I let it sink in, I was not that impressed. And now when I see people selling those for $500+...its disgusting.
