A Change in the Winds?
This past week, I took a Thursday-Sunday road trip and I brought a total of three watches with me; the baby Alpinist, the Blood Moon (my night watch) and my Falcon.
It was the week for the Alpinist to be on wrist, but when I travel, I like to have at least one option depending on the situation and wardrobe I pack. I packed a couple of shirts (both black with red & white features) that either the Blood Moon or the Falcon wouldn’t clash with, but it turns out that I never took the Alpinist off for the whole trip, even for bed.
I never even wore the two shirts I planned on wearing that would have clashed with the Alpinist. I actually wore a t-shirt I don’t usually wear in public and a road trip themed shirt made specifically for this trip in order to keep the Alpinist on wrist all week.
Does this mean I don’t like my Falcon any more? I don’t think so (I will be participating in @Aurelian’s #1wc with the Falcon), but it does open the door to the question, right? Maybe I just figured I was going to get a lot of wrist time for the Falcon soon, I typically always wear the Blood Moon to sleep and just didn’t want to shirk on wrist time for the Alpinist and it’s as simple as that?
Whatever it means regarding the Falcon, I know what it means for the Alpinist; it’s not leaving the collection. After I won it as a door prize at a meetup, I wasn’t sure if I was going to keep it because I wasn’t even looking to add a new watch to the collection. In fact, I’m trying to downsize it to 10 watches & this complicates that. The heart wants what the heart wants though, I suppose.
Do you have a watch that entered your collection unexpectedly and earned its way into a permanent spot?

@SpencerWolfe @pabloniusmonk There's something about these watches, isn't there? They're not quite minimal in their design, but instantly recognizable and a style icon in their own right.
I tried making one truly waterproof once, by putting oil inside of it. But it leaked out. There were some guides online, but very American, using types of oil not really available here, if I remember right...

A lover of vintage watches and clocks, I treated myself to this lovely 1950s Japanese pocket watch.

With clocks:
- the second hand makes a lap in a minute
- the minute hand makes a lap in an hour
- the hour hand makes a lap in half a dayThis is why we can’t have nice things.

Black on black Nixon watch is another of my favorites. With a bulky strap, and I love how the white second hand pops against the black face.
If I could design watches for a living, I would start with this template❤️⌚

My taste in watches is kind of traditional and so this MVMT is about as radical as it gets for me. Love it though, really affordable! #watches #watch #timepieces
