latest watch acquisition

twenty-eight years and a million words

For years, while earning barely enough to pay the bills in Toronto, I'd occasionally write about this or that "watch crush". More recently I'm earning more and Mari's also working so I've been assembling something of an (inexpensive) collection. This is the latest. It's an Escapement Time model that I picked up on AliExpress for about ¥23,000. It's got a seventies vibe I quite like, all retro 'n shit.

rand()m quote

Society is indeed a contract... [the state] is a partnership in all science; a partnership in all art; a partnership in every virtue, and in all perfection. As the ends of such a partnership cannot be obtained in many generations, it becomes a partnership not only between those who are living, but between those who are living, those who are dead, and those who are to be born.

—Edmund Burke
