Trying to curate a (relatively) small collection of watches with a breath and depth of brands, sizes, colors, functions, complications, and prices. Some watches are in the "permanent" collection, and some do flow in & out of the watch box. Keep an eye out for suprising finds...

What watch would a Jedi or Sith wear?
The Sith in me chose the Tudor Black Bay Bronze 43mm in Slate Gray. 😈 I guess a Snoopy MoonSwatch would work for Jedi… 🙄

WatchCrunch’s own brand: Anachronist.shop
I had a Montblanc annual calendar which was relatively affordable; their Vasco de Gama perpetual calendar is one of the most attainable. I liked it, but it did have a build quality that was less luxurious than other grail brands. It felt too light and the rotor was a bit tinny/noisy. The only reason I didn't keep it was because annual/perpetual calendars are a b!tch to wind and reset. I currently have a quartz annual calander which I am happy with, for the fun and functionality.
I think if I had a perpetual calendar watch, it would be on a watch winder. And "wearing out" that watch for the sake of timekeeping would be another part of the cost/value proposition of owning one.
