Today’s Watch and Book (a picture thread)
What book are you wearing and what time piece are you reading?



Like my grandfather used to say. There’s two types of people in the world. “Those who read and those who struggle”.

It’s not an easy read, because my nature isn’t as machiavelous. But that’s exactly why it’s necessary. It’s like broccoli, I might not want it but I eat it anyways.

Animal Farm is a classic.

Also I’m a big fan of De Grasse Tyson. Will check out that one.

Glad you guys like the thread! I thought it might be a miss.

I’ll keep it alive for sure, hope you guys will too!

I’m still reading 48 laws of power and just ordered all of the authors other books. Very good stuff.

A short read on the back story of a delicious cocktail with variations on the recipe from around the world. The author is also a big fan of vintage Rolex.
