It was a Speedy that started all this - a 1969 Speedmaster Professional with stepped tritium dial and Cal 861 manual wind movement, owned and worn for many years. Its been on my wrist a long time - at the birth of my daughter, my marriage, and every other significant moment in between. It is the last one that will ever go. A family heirloom, passed down to the next generation.
Then there was the Seamaster 300 - the Bond watch. Worn on holidays and weekend breaks. A robust chunk of metal that withstood some knocks and shocks over the years.
And then the bug finally took hold and the collection began to grow. Omegas. Zeniths. Zodiacs (a particular favourite of the author). Divers watches. Chronographs. Square watches. Military models.
