I was at Borders last week perusing the periodicals where I became aware of the plethora of magazine titles about watches:
WatchTime
International Watch
QP
Revolution
Uhren
Chronos
00/24
Montres
GMT
After perusing the new styles and mechanisms, as well as old antiques, I decided I think i might like to own a watch that costs as much as my car. I do like the Omega Seamaster 300 M, Jager-LeCoultre AMVOX2 DBS, and the Patek Phillipe Calatrava. My favorite (so far, in this onset of chronometrophilia) is the Breguet Tradition 7047BA:
Yes, I too was feeling inadequate . . you know, down there.
I don’t think I’ll be getting a car-valued watch this year, but while I’m waiting I’ll just subscribe to one of those magazines and live vicariously through the life of slick-haired, bare-chested, yacht-sailing models.
Also, the new issue of Dupont Registry just came out. I’ve read it cover to cover. I’m reading up so I don’t look like a rube when I win the lottery and go to the Maserati dealership. Hmm, I’m also gonna need to dress snazzy, so I’m gonna go check out A/Xchange.com
