Hello all from NYC
Hello TRF members,
I have been reading TRF for a few years, but my interest has increased after acquiring my first Rolex last year. So now it's time to introduce myself, say thank you for the content contributed by TRF participants, and hopefully offer something myself. For me, this watch hobby is a way to distract myself and relax. Getting caught up in the details, the comparison of features, reading about design and history, all has that magic effect of making everything else melt away for a while. Photographic evidence suggests that I have had a watch strapped to my wrist since before I can remember. My memory begins when as I child I copied an older cousin, and wore a Timex without removing it for years. The photograph shows me wearing a blue and yellow Disney watch even earlier. Since then, I've always had one of these things strapped to my wrist. In college, I remember a time when my watch broke; I would look at my bare wrist throughout the day and feel incomplete. Eventually, there came a point when I had to get a new watch after several years abroad. My search for the "perfect watch," a fictional misguided idea, took me down the rabbit hole. I now have the bug and am doomed to keep searching, but have expanded the search for the most satisfying collection of watches that suits me. Isn't it funny? I find when a person hones in deeply on a single topic, that there is a whole world of information to find! There are many of these worlds to get lost in when it comes to horology: History, science, exploration, chronometry, materials, mechanics, design, culture, business, marketing, psychology... The list goes on! So hello everyone! I am here to learn and enjoy. Cheers, Alimamy |
