Why do we choose the watches we do?
In another Thread " Lange Lovers in Australia? " I asked the question whether an L&S dealer is coming to Australia. Whilst responding to a post, it got me thinking yet again about what a watch means to people. The reason for my asking for an AD is more fo...
If watches tell about us, so I must be schyzophrenic... :)))
Seriously, I love so different watches that I somehow doubt they tell something about us... Except some values which are dear to us? There are two things to consider: The others opinion, and us. I don't really care if someone is not loving the watch I wea...
Well said Nicolas!
Personally, I prefer my watches NOT to be recognised! Doesn't it feel better if you could enjoy your beautiful work of art secretly, without others attention and people looking over your shoulders? I agree with Nicolas, that it doesn't matter what other's...
"I prefer my watches NOT to be recognised!" +1
It is always an important part of my wardrobe and sometimes I change the strap because of this. Some people "see" the package, but most of them have NO idea about the watch My personal comfort zone is below the radar Oliver
I have a very short answer ...
... for you Sam - wear what YOU like. Wear watches that make YOU feel something special when you look at them on your wrist. It really doesn't matter what others think of you or your watches. Sure, it's nice when others share the same tastes as you, but e...
Makes sense to me! :-)
"It really doesn't matter what others think of you or your watches." Amen. Can't wait to see you in a few hours time! Cheers, Daos
Thanks. But make sure ...
... you comment on my choice of watches for the visit! ;-) A
Personal preferences are just that -- personal.
I could care less what anyone thinks of what I'm wearing on my wrist -- I don't need the ego stroking. If I'm happy with my timepiece, that's all that matters, and I'd honestly prefer to fly under the radar with my watches. As long as you're happy with yo...
I need to convince you Daos. ;-)
Come to Paris and I'm sure that at the end of the journey you will find that Lange is on top of the hill. Fx
Ehehehehe! Permanently loan me your...
...Cabaret and I will consider myself CONVINCED! Daos
Noted and complimented
Reading your story reminded me of something that happened late last week. Although I do not own a Lange, I have a deep appreciation for their history, beauty and what they represent and hope to add one to my growing collection when the time is right. I al...
It's a lot of fun to see great timepieces out in "the wild."
I am lucky because I work with a fellow Purist, so we can ogle each other's watches and have watch-chats on a regular basis. Having a WIS down the hall makes going to work so much nicer! Cheers, Daos
And once the cat is out
That very same executive chairman I spoke of a few days ago was present during a meeting this afternoon and came up to me afterwards and with a smile extended his wrist showing off a Cabaret! I was stunned, it is the only Cabaret I have seen other than fr...
I like the Cabaret a lot!
It's elegant and uncommon. It's one of the nicest non-round watches out there! Sounds like you and the Chairman are developing a rapport. Cheers, Daos
I have a feeling that the new Saxonia Ultra Thin on a Black Strap......
would put a smile on your face
Oh, yeah. I do love the new Saxonia Ultra Thin.
There are plenty of Lange watches that I love. Cheers, Daos
I take pleasure in wearing all my watches, but lange has a special place
I spend years looking for just the right Lange 1, and bought my langematik big date first and the Lange 1 second. I wear them occasionally, I have eclectic taste and like to spread my time across my small collection. I find few people know or understand t...
