The obsession with watches is another of my unfathomables. I had a watch briefly in my late teens, but never since then, even before mobile phones and clocks in cars, I got by without one.
In our 'brand obsessed' world, it's become one of the 'must have' trappings in order to display disposable wealth.
Of course people will argue about the undeniable quality and precision in order to justify their obsession. Bit like me trying to convince my Mrs that I needed to spend £17,000 on my Morgan. Athough she did weaken when I produced the Morgan book I bought when I was 8yrs old, and when I told her it was built by my Grandad it was game over....
