Wearing all my watches now; Part 5 of 10
In order to be sure none of "my lovelies" are neglected this year, I am wearing them all between Dec 21-31. As half are now piled on my dresser, I can see the bottom of the pile in the watch cabinet, and it looks indeed like we might get to 100 before the year is out. (Even if I have to rush out and buy a couple ...)
This morning the theme is non-round cases (rectangular, square, etc) and I want to start with
#41 & 42 Hysek twin dual-time quartz watch(s) -- one of which annoyingly reminded me that its battery needed changing, so I did both:
BEFORE
DURING
AFTER
With time 2 on GMT and time 1 on Pacific Standard Time
(yes I am counting this as two; two movements, two cases, two batteries, two crystals, one strap)

#43 Hysek watch powered by an ETA manual wind tiny woman's movement.
Stop by if you have a chance later for the rest of today's 10.
PS - I am finding this experience to be a lot of fun - almost like getting a bunch of new watches for free, or meeting old friends and renewing acquaintances.
# 44 is my Vulcain Cricket alarm, virtually NOS on bracelet. It was NOS when I bought it in 2003 and I've rarely worn it.
Now comes a dilemma? Do you count this next one as one watch or two? One case, one movement, two dials, two times, two pushers, one strap.
#45 is the JLC Grande GMT one watch with two pictures, in a mirror for grins 
.
. It's time to stop for breakfast. Merry Christmas to all of you around the other side of the world where that day has arrived.
#46 A gold JLC Reverso is accompanying me to breakfast...

#47 is a very old Geneve
#48 A Bulova hybrid Accu-Quartz gold(tone) #8 with broken date, sorry
#49 Gold cuff link Endura manual wind, and
#50 My other Universal Geneve.
An an ancient Swatch whose strap is long gone, but it still runs (for insurance as #50 if you didn’t agree with the Hysek Dualtime counting as 2)

That 3rd Hysek shares some DNA with Richard Mille.
I remember Hysek's Kirium for Tag Heuer was a watch that caught my eye very early on. Only laster did I find out it was Hysek designed, when I was looking up info on the Vacheron 222. You have some wild stuff in the watch drawer, 50 more to go!
