It hit me, a while ago : what is this fascination I had for watches ? But furthermore, where does this fascination comes from...
As far as my failing memory goes, my father always had and still have a thing for the timetellers : I can remember him polishing a pocket watch he had when I was young (I know he doesn't have it anymore, as this piece of legacy was passed to my daughter...)
I guess it was 13 years ago I bought a Swatch, designed after the great scifi nikon Fifth Element : [link] (13 years because I was produced in 1996). I loved that watch but I eventually lost it stupidly, never found it and it wasn't available anymore... somehow I never was able to overcome that lost and even made a vow that I would eventually buy another movie themed watch...
But my love for Swatch never died : whenever I had the chance to cross a shop where they sold them, I could lost myself for hours looking to the design, the originality, I even bought a pocket Musicall (melody by Candy Dulfer), one for my soulmate, even my daughter has the Powerpuff girls around her right wrist, such a copycat! Then, in 2001, the James Bond collection came out, and my vow was sealed with "The World Is Not Enough"...
As time passed (he always does and I get older with it...) I discovered the .beat, aka Internet Time designed in collaboration with MIT; at the time, I look at eBay and finally bought one - [link] - just out of curiosity... problem was with the strap : velcro over fabric, it started to stink, stinky feet! I went to a shop I know and I like for their professionnalism and great service, but they told me they didn't keep straps for old models, but they told me about a website I should check : that damn site is probably a case of misused work funds... and forget about my vow : the "Fifth Element" watch was available on the site... it was ordered the moment I laid eyes on it...
If for me it's my memory, for my father it's the eyes : sharing his love for this artcraft, i offered him, my hero, "The World Is Not Enough"... but since he cannot see the dials, it's of no use to him!
There is one watch that, if I ever come to possess, would cure me of the need to buy another one for as long as I own it : [link] But the possibility to own one is probably a case of switching to a parallel universe...
And you can get lost even here...
And why not there ? [link]

If my calculations are correct, when this baby hits eighty-eight miles per hour... you're gonna see some serious shit.
