Mine is catching up on me Diddy stories with video game dungeon (literal dungeon, like in a castle) music playing in the background + glass of wine and/or in combination with a nice vape topped with an obligatory sense of personal superiority hahah!

My wife bought me a very expensive mechanical watch as a gift, which I myself would never even think of looking at in a shop. First I was like, what the hell am I supposed to do with that? I already have a smart watch!
But god damn it’s growing on me.
I kid you not, this is so amazing, every time I want to know the time it just works for months without charging and it looks beautiful.
Yeah, that’s my luxury.
If you haven’t read it, this blog post greatly increased my appreciation for mechanical watches: https://ciechanow.ski/mechanical-watch/
I love mechanical watches, and I’ve had watches since before smart watches were a thing. The idea of a watch becoming obsolete is so absurd to me.
I have a Panerai kinetic winding watch, and I can’t explain how much I love wearing it. There’s a certain old world, rare craftsmanship to it that I can feel the weight of on my wrist, and hear when I hold it to my ear. Somehow it makes me appreciate time passing and the value of making the most of it.
I stopped wearing a smart watch about two years ago when all the notifications were bothering me. I had gotten it for free so it didn’t bother me that it was sitting there. I was always obsessed with watched as a kid, but as an adult I never stumbled upon any watches I deemed worthy and unique enough for my wrist. One day I stumbled upon a vintage watch on instagram. 2yrs later I now own about 20 vintage watches (quartz, mechanical and digital).None of the super crazy ones that cost thousands, though those look pretty amazing sometimes.
