As promised pics of my watch office

Hi folks,

As promised here are pics of my watch office.  My goal is to make it look like an antique watch shop, which is where I work from home.  It is a work in progress and maybe in my mind it's nicer than I think, would love to hear your opinions, and apologies for the poor photos.

Looks good, needs more watches.

I’d love to have a mancave like that. Good luck with your project. It will be interesting follow.

I don't think I'd have an issue with that, in 2 years, I'm close to 100.  I've only just begun.  lol

Definitely feels like stepping back in time and I love it! Looks super cosey  ❤️ 

You've inspired me to think about a makeover for my little watch room 🤔

Thank you!!  It's a bit of a mix with my Kiss alter and Funko peanuts display, but that was definitely what I was going for.

Disappointing lack of Badgers.

·

I love the idea of an old watch shop! 

·

It's cool that you used an antique iPhone to take the pictures!

😜

Awesome you can dedicate some space like that, looks great.  A 'ye olde watch shope' kinda feel.  

Also, I now feel super vindicated to buy a bunch more watches because I clearly don't have enough.   

Gotta ask - I see 'A man and his Watch' book in lots of IG posts and other money shot watch pics.  I've never seen the book in person - is it good?  Not being facetious here, genuinely don't know.

Looks very nice indeed.  We have a similar taste in sofas, lol.

This is a great idea. I love it.

I would enjoy digging around that shop for my next piece! Very cool!

·

Looks like a fun place! My favorite is the stacked books end table, love that 👍🏻

Indeed, mine is probably 20 years old.  The great thing about old leather couches is they look better as they age.  Mine is Berkaline which reclines on both sides.

Yes, mines about 15 years old, doesn't recline, but boy is it solid and so heavy.  Carpet fitters were in recently and were huffing and puffing moving it around. 😃

Because it's a basement, we had to go with this couch because it came in two pieces, so they could get it down there.  It was cool that that was an option.  I feel your pain, they are very heavy and I'm at an age now where I no longer do heavy lifting.

Insanity never looked so good.

In the eighties The Style Council ( Paul Weller) made a brilliant album entitled " Our Favourite Shop" which could provide the soundtrack to your splendid venture?

I have to check that out.  Thanks!

I love your setup! Very old-school antique watch store vibe. I keep my watches in the office and my cars in the man cave. Horses for courses! 👌😎❤

Wait did you say cars?  Ohhhh how the other half live.  lol.  Now that's a horse of a different color altogether!

Love it Steve, looks like a great place to unwind, check out some watches while enjoying a nice bottle of red.

I do want to see a video of you playing the piano though, maybe some Boogie woogie or possibly a Kiss song like "I was made for lovin you" would be very befitting for the WC members WC 🤣

·

Amazing, bud! Would love to tour that mancave and gasp at the cool pieces you've got. Congrats and cheers! 🍻

lol.  Thank you Tony, my daughter is the piano player in the family, but I will play guitar anything from Kiss to Harry Chapin.  Big hug to you my friend!!

Seems we have more in common other than watches mate. Music is my first and biggest passion, without it life would be boring and unbearable for me.

Well, I'll bring my Fender Strat and my son who teaches guitar with his Fender Tele or we could go acoustic if you prefer, we have a few to choose from here. Meanwhile we could sink copious amounts of beer and wine and jam until the wee hours 😜

Awesome Tony.  I've been playing most of my life, but as an adult I put it down and pick it up and some times don't touch it for over a year.  However, when I do get the need to play here is my beloved Ibanez that my wife bought me several years ago for Christmas.  I have a few others, but this is the one I play the most.

I love your Son's Strat and Tele.  I used to play a Yamaha acoustic and loved that guitar as well

The jam session with beer and wine sounds awesome!!

All you need a antique bar saloon and start the first musical watch band and play online live on WC.
