Which watch do you wear?

[Plaything of the gods]

I don't wear one. Time is a form of control and I try not to let it run my life.

you must miss a lot of kick offs

One must fit in with others' arrangements of course but doesn't mean one has to wear a watch, or even carry a phone. I was meaning more in the way of routine; I don't have a fixed time for getting up, starting work, having a work break, finishing work, meals, etc. All this routine came in with the industrial revolution with the move away from the land and working according to the (manu)factory's requirements rather than the seasons and the day's weather. I'm just old-fashioned.

Intersting theory but... about five miles from where I live, at Grange Co. Limerick, there's a 46metre diameter stone circle, not quite as spectacular as Stonehenge but a nice, quiet, (dare I say it) spiritual place. Also, in Co, Meath, there's the oldest building in the world, Newgrange (predates the pyramids by an Age). Both of these places and Stonehenge have something in common. They are all designed to mark the Summer Solstice.
Now, we might argue that they are all primitive places of Sun worship and even if we concede that is the probability, we must also accept that the Sun dictates our concept of Time. Therefore, is Time not an intrinsic, primal part of Humanity?

[smudgedj]

I wear the same type of watch as the Bluemoons left wing bedwetters heros (the anti-imperialist and enemies of capitalism)

Yes a Rolex.

Well only when I'm slumming it. If it's a special occasion I wear my Breitling.

cartier 21, had it for years, and you will never see a fake of this model

 

[Grolsch30]

Wear one of these:

I love the clean and simple look:

When i bought it i was just going to wear it for special occasions, but then i thought fuck it for that amount of money I'm going to get my use out of it.
Will be passed down to my son.
This means i need to get another one as we have now a second son and i cant not leave him out.

Gave up wearing a watch years ago. Problem with a good expensive watch is that it should get serviced regularly. Always thought I'd be lost without it but once you stop wearing it you realise that you are actually surrounded by clocks wherever you go. That, plus I have my phone. Would rather have a decent phone every 18 month than a nice watch.

Only ever owned 3 watches.
A lucky lucky tag bought in spain, what a great watch lasted about 10 years and the face even changed colour at different temperatures all for about £5.
A accurist what lasted about 7 years that was about 5 years ago not wore one since.
And a watch made of copper meant to be good for arthritis or something still have it in the box, free to anyone who wants it ( just needs a battery i think )
