The Alpinist is still around today, I changed out the strap to try a different look.

Today I’m sporting my minimalist Lord Elgin I have always been a fan of the style and my American homage to the great Max Bill

I was mowing over which piece to wear today when I realized that I do not believe I’ve ever shared this one. You probably will not be surprised to hear that I bought this on my first visit to New York a couple years ago. It was my first vacation in a long, long time, and this was my first souvenir from that trip. Now I would say this was the moment I finally felt like I was on vacation but that is not true. That is when I was sitting on a retaining wall on liberty Island with a cup of coffee, staring out at the ocean, and a pigeon sat down about 6 inches away from me to join me. Given that it’s New York, I think that is an appropriate way for that to happen 😂 That said. I believe this pocket watch is great for making a very important point beyond the memories. It is tied to for me personally. I feel this piece is good for driving home the point that you do not have to spend thousands or even hundreds of dollars to enjoy collecting watch watches. If memory serves, this piece only cost me about $30.

It’s been a while since I’ve had an occasion to wear the Citizen so I found an excuse.

Throwback to last week when I last wore this beautiful piece. 🤣🤣
