Collection

End of year reflection. Time to be honest about which watches actually got wrist time. Most worn: Perun Veles No surprise here. The pointer date captured my attention in June and never let go. Probably 150+ days on wrist. The €399 purchase that embarrassed everything else in the collection.

Bought a 12-slot watch box three years ago. “Room to grow,” I told myself. Seven slots remain empty. The empty slots taunt me. They whisper about the Cartier Tank I haven’t bought. The Grand Seiko I can’t justify. The chronograph I keep researching but never purchasing.

The seasons dictate my watch choices more than I’d like to admit. Summer was all about the Veles and dive watches. Casual straps, bright dials, pieces that could handle sweat and water.
