A few folks have asked, so here it is. It is not the biggest collection, but every piece has a story and gets worn. Apparently I am short a slot, which means I “have” to wear a watch every day. The winder also needs replacing, so a few of these are getting extra wrist time. Dress & Refined On the dressier side, I have the Oris Artix Pointer Moon, the Heritor Becker, and the Croton day/date. The Croton, with its two-tone bracelet and black dial, is comfortable and makes for a solid daily when I do not want to go too formal or too sporty. The Montblanc TimeWalker Chronograph straddles categories, sporty enough to wear casually but finished well enough to pull double duty when I need something a little more refined. I do not have a true dress watch yet. A slim, simple three hand on leather is still missing from the box. Tool & Sport For tool and sport, the Bulova Lunar Pilot is always a favorite, along with the Hamilton Pan Europ, Spinnaker Bradner GMT, a Citizen Eco-Drive chronograph, and the Haurex Magister. These cover travel, weekends, and anything that needs a little more utility on the wrist. Fun & Quirky I also have some fun pieces. The Elevon Northrop came to me through the EDC community, and the DSTIKE Deauther is more of a hacker’s tool than a traditional watch, but it earns its spot in the box. Comic Con Exclusives The Citizen Mandalorian Eco-Drive and the Citizen Darth Vader Death Star Eco-Drive are Comic Con exclusives that I actually wear. As someone involved with Comic Con International for many years, these add a personal connection as well as a collectible angle. Smart & Utility Rounding it out is my Garmin Fenix 7 Sapphire Solar. Not mechanical, but it is a workhorse for the gym, hiking, or hunting when I need data more than dial work. It may be a small collection, but it reflects what I enjoy about watches, style, function, quirks, and memories. Every piece earns its wrist time, which is exactly how I like it.

I know that Heirloom watch Wednesday isn't actually a "thing" but I needed a good title!! 😎 When I was deciding what to wear today, I was thinking about this one, but since was raining I said eh maybe tomorrow. But then I just kept looking at it and then realized this was my watch for today because the time in which it stopped what the current time I picked it up and started winding it! I will make another post about this watches history and my relationship with it. You all know That I am a sucker for nostalgia and remembering others. WOTD: My family heirloom Patek Phillippe. Been in our family since 1947! I am just the custodian for the next generation!! Have a great day everyone!!
