I very much enjoy mechanical watches. When you wind up a watch- it reminds you that time is ticking on - and to make the very best of it- before you wind it up again.
Deep thought for a Sunday morning.😳
Now I’m off to spend a few winds enjoying myself. It may involve the Start button again🖖

Does any other TMers have a Jaeger-LeCoultre . I've had a couple, a Memovox and Gran' Sport. JLC are very nicely made... Watches can be a bit of a slippery slope, like hifi! I have a few. ![[Linked Image]](https://live.staticflickr.com/4759/40335859991_239b8c8c78_b.jpg)

I used to scoff at the idea of expensive watches, then I bought a nice one for my fiftieth, since then I can’t help looking at other ones and I’d quite like a rugged one for work now.

As Stewart said, watches are a very dangerous thiung especially if you get, as I do, the regular "Watch Finders" e'mail with all the latest arrivals. My saviour has been the closure of "Marcus" in Bond St, couldn't walk past that shop without comitting financial suicide.
Here for a good time not a long time!!

If you haven’t already, take a look at at Bremont. Built in Henley- fairy rugged. Good secondhand prices. If you have ever used a Martin Baker ejector seat-you can have a special one!😊😊

Yes it can be an expensive lure I get Watchfinder’s regular emails and subscribe to their Youtube channel I also subscribe to HODINKEE and made the dangerous choice of allowing notifications on my phone for all their latest articles All very, very dangerous

And then after you get your rugged work watch, you’ll quite like a watch with a GMT (because you travel a bit) or chrono complication (because you drive cars) and then a dress watch and a gold watch and then a vintage Rolex and then you ….are living in a shed with just a cup of tea to keep you warm at night

Strange, I love HiFi and Cars and really don't want to know how much I've spent over the years, but watches leave me cold.
I doubt that I've spent £5,000 on them since I got my first watch, age 14....
Whatever makes you happy is a good buy.

I had a watch in my teens. I may have had two in my life. Just not interested.
I could collect socket sets though.
