If we put things in perspective, watches like many other material things matter very little.
But they are less fleeting than memories, and give us a glimpse of the Divine through beauty.
There is nothing that can compare to losing one's mother. You have a piece that connects your inner emotions with your passion. A very rare and a very special thing, I hope you enjoy it for a very long time.
A special meaningful watch for me. I took delivery of this DeBethune Starry Varius recently. My mother passed away at 53 years old when I was 30. That was 35 years ago.
I had the custom dial made to portray the night sky from my home Portland, Oregon on March 22nd, 1932 the day of my mom’s birth. Not a day goes by that I don’t think about her and having this watch is wonderful because it makes me feel that she is near me...
Superb watch and my favourite De Bethune!
But what a great son you are Ed! I have little doubt that your mum has been smiling from a better place.
Beautiful post and beautiful watch
Now THIS is what it's all about. Where the watch is not some instagram object, or some market commodity where we debate the future price, but where it is something special and personal. Thank you for sharing.
One of the coolest things I've ever read.
Amazing watch, even more touching story. Thank you for sharing. BTW, you should add this to this weekend's Wrist Scan. The theme matches perfectly. Cheers, Brandon

Great post and what a beautiful watch! I can fully understand. If one isn’t allowed to be sentimental about ones mother, then I don’t know who or what!! Having it personalized like that is both subtle and extremely beautiful and will never get old. I love...

Let me first say how sorry I am for your loss. While it may have been a long time ago, the feeling of lost never goes away. I hope that you wear the watch in good health and happiness and that you have fond memories everytime you look at it.

I love evrything in your post: not only it is deeply moving but also you made it in such an elegant and refined way. Only you know about this wink to your mother full of symbol (and now we share this secret tribute). She is now somewhere in the sky among ...
