Ares501 - Mr Green poses a thought-provoking, albeit hypothetical, challenge: if forced to choose only one watch to keep, which would it be? This "Sophie's Choice" scenario transcends typical wrist scans, inviting collectors to delve into the deepest reasons—be they horological, aesthetic, or sentimental—that define their ultimate timepiece, offering a unique window into personal collecting philosophies.
Dear PuristS!
I know that my demand is absurd and sadistic but please indulge me
IF you ever come (hypothetically) in situation when you are absolutely forced
to chose ONLY ONE of timepieces to carry with you
(let's say to another planet after dooms day because laguage is limited to only 1 watch per person LOL)
and leave all others behind which one would it be (with it's full name and surname)
Think that this will give as good oportunity to see whach brand and model is mostly appreciate by each of us

why would you want a watch keyed to the earth's day?
Possibilities: 1. Mercury: No moonphase, because mercury has no moon; should be a special alloy because temperatures fluctuate between _180 and + 420 °C, some sort of titanium will do. Mercury rotates in 58 days so there will be a lot of numbers on your dial; i suggest 58 mercurian hours(days). 2. Venus: No moonphase too, A feminin watch with diamonds and a pink bracelet. Here there will be a problem because venus rotates around the sun every 225 days, but one day takes 243 earth-days. Think we'
to chose only 1. I'd be so confused that I 'd go nuts if I were you, I'd probably smuggle ALL of them out with only 1 on my wrist : ) I can dream, can't I? ;p
