I think I've developed Cayce Pollard syndrome when it comes to Tudor. Queasy and uncomfortable. The IWC is of course technically very cool, but its also a nice looking watch in a reasonable size given its complication. It should probably take "best of show". The thin stuff from Piaget and Bulgari are also cool, but do the owners of those pieces actually wear them? I'll comment with my favorite next week, need to think on it a bit more.

For awhile I was starting my day with a walk/hike around my neighborhood which involves a bit of nature and a lot of stairs. I have not been able to do it these past few months and I can really feel it. I need to figure out how to get that going again.

I rather enjoyed some delayed gratification in reading two weeks back to back, probably won't have the discipline to to that by choice though. Thanks again!

Cayce Pollard reference made me laugh. I agree, I can't say for sure what I would consider 'best of show' - but it also depends on the criteria, which for me, is something which gets worn a lot.

I build in a walk based on my commute, and this suffers when the weather sucks. As the season changes, I can tell this will do wonders for my creativity, and I cannot wait!

Super grateful to have you as a reader, thanks again for taking the time, and the thoughtful reflections after.

My pleasure...I think it should be something that blends some sort of technical innovation with good looks and the IWC does pretty well in that regard. My personal favorite will be something different because I'm shallow and overweight the good looks part.

I’m probably with you on the shallow side 🫠

Yes…..and sometimes (recently) back to back to back! 🫡🥳

Another good one!

I’m constantly fascinated by the “theorems”, “puzzles” “problems” and other terms for studies that have been done and names for psychological paradoxes, etc that you seem to dig up!

Also another enjoyable and well deserved interview of Sam and father! 👍🏼🫡🫶🏼☝🏼the “class act of Instagram” and a couple very humble and sharing collectors

Aumann’s Agreement Theorem is a great point! I feel like the majority of watch collectors I’ve met and talked to can at least set aside conversations about politics or divisive topics. There’s just too much fun to chat watches instead! Another great piece!

Too true… In a world already so divided, the hobby helps to do the opposite!

Fun fact, literally few hours before reading I was telling my friend to start watching aircrash investigations to fight her fear of flying. I’m also letting one tiny spider (Peter) live in my house, he keeps hanging at the same spot so it’s kinda comforting.

I didn’t understand why people made such a big noise around those leaks anyway 🤦🏻‍♀️ with or without leak, those people are so passionate that would anyway give the right attitude/reaction and appreciation when they see something spectacular with the official release.

Loved the common knowledge part ❤️

Fear of flying isn’t rational… especially when you look at road traffic accidents versus flight accidents.

Thanks for taking the time, always appreciated!!
