What do you DO with your watches?
First, I'll say that I have about 14 watches that I wear in rotation. The most I've paid for any of them is a little over $500, and the least expensive was a little over $100. So, I don't have a LOT of money tied up in them, but I sometimes think about narrowing it down to about half that many so that I can more thoroughly enjoy the ones I have, and be more selective. That's where I run into a problem, though. There are so many that I like almost equally that I would have a hard time deciding what to keep. So MY solution? I'm going to keep what I have, but now that I have all occasions covered, be more selective in my future purchases, and wait until I can afford something in a higher tier.So, how often do you need to wear a watch to really enjoy owning it? Do you have any that you DON'T wear, but thoroughly enjoy owning?

Do you also notice the weaving lines criss-crossing on the tapisserie dial? They allow the dial to reflect light in a unique way. Only a dial which is carved out by the 'rose machine' would yield such beautiful result.MovementThe beauty of the ultra-thin 2121 movement is a marvel. Every component of the movement was exquisitely finished in different styles at the highest level. The unique construction of the rail rotor system is a sight to behold. The 21k gold rotor plate is beautifully decorated with embossed wordings and alternate brushed and polished finishing. Mounted on a circular rail, this special construction allows the mo
