My First Watch

Something out of the norm for me today! This Citizen was gifted to me by my great Uncle about 8yrs ago now. It was my first watch, I never wore it outside of school dances & job interviews. Although I wasn’t into watches at the time I unknowingly was packing this watch with memories. It saw my first job interview & all the ones that followed, homecoming dances, one prom, and most recently was the watch that got me into this hobby.

Putting it on one day a few months ago and simply liking how it felt lead to exploring the watch world. Although I’m still in my infancy of collecting I know this will be one of the few watches that has come and will never go. I can’t wait to pack more memories onto this Citizen. We are quite the snowflake community but for good reason😅. So here is my snowflake story. Thank you Uncle Jamo for gifting me this hobby and all the memories that will follow!

It sat in its box for a long time but now it sits in a watch box with a glass too so yes it does charge while sitting!
