Intersection between pens and watches

Good interview here by Inkstable with Robert-Jan Broer, founder of Fratello Watches.

I like this observation:

"SN: What are the common links between a watch guy and a pen guy, or the question could also be, why should someone that cherishes well crafted items be interested in a Pen too?

RJ: It is definitely the love for the finer things in life, and a proper amount of nostalgia. If you appreciate a nicely decorated mechanical movement, you will also appreciate a fountain pen with beautiful nib. It often goes hand-in-hand anyway, many of my watch collecting friends have a weak spot for fountain pens. Since I published an image of my fountain pens, including the Otto Hutt design08 next to my Seamaster Ploprof 1200M watch, I receive quite a few messages from other watch enthusiasts about their pen collection(s)."

I think pens, watches and cars is the case.
