What a great perspective. It certainly resonates. After 11 years, my first mechanical watch – a Mido Multifort Chrono with white côtes de Gèneve dial and snailed grey chrono registers – still grabs my attention multiple times before the time registers.

I’ve had 3 Speedmasters believing each one was better than the last.. In the end I suffered the same problem – I parted with them cause the watch had no magic……
The last Speedy was the new Sapphire Sandwich with new movement. Although vastly improved from its predecessors I just couldn’t love it. Instead traded it and bought a Rolex Datejust on Jubikee with mint green dial…. I keep staring at it all day and it feels special…

I used to be a Grail follower and owner. Rolex Patek AP. No longer now only unusual watches usually vintage, especially early melody LCD watches. Ah but for second glance watches just the one name.

Disagree – a watch is a tool to tell the time: if I have to look twice at it, it’s probably not doing its job properly – and that tends to be the case with many high-end watches these days.

Time to look twice, three times etc is (a) BEFORE you buy it, and (b) when you put it on in the morning, and (c) when you take it off at night.
