Today I'll probably wear one of these two:
Both came to me by chance; one was found in a thrift store (the Tissot) and the other came by asking at a shop where they purchase gold for smelting, if they had had any watches handed in - this one was on a solid gold band, and therefore taken in, despite being "only" a common gold capped Constellation. Today they both returned from a trip abroad to my watchmaker (I use the same as a number of Scandinavian watch enthusiast, namely Christian or Mitka at watchguy.co.uk), both ready for a second life as a part of my collection.
I realise that it was stupid money to service the Tissot, as I'll never recuperate the costs when selling it (eventually), but I couldn't bear not giving it a bit of love - it was sorely needed. Also, I think the design is really nice!
Perhaps I'll switch to my newest watch later on - the Torgoen T81, which I won in a contest. Surprisingly comfortable on the wrist, attracts compliments like you wouldn't believe it (!), and - get this - extremely precise. For the last few days, it's had a daily deviation of roughly +/- 2 seconds, currently it's at +1 second for the last two days… That's pretty good in my book!!
