So what was the watch? I'm guessing a Nautilus too.
Nice letter from father to son. So from the numerous watch / wife analogies I'm guessing that you've had a very strong marriage and wish the same for your son. Or, you've had dreadful luck with a string of different women and you are sufficiently worried that your son is heading down the same path that you hope the gift of an expensive watch will open his eyes. Either way, cool gift unless it's the Swatch that you also mentioned in which case it probably won't take a hold up for him to hand it over to someone else.
A letter to my son...
Time and its value Dear Son, Im giving a watch to you on this day, a day that is no more special than any other day, because time is one of our most precious gifts. I hope to exhort you through this gift, how time is to be relished. I want to exhort you ...
May I ask...
...what the intention is behind your post? I find the repeated comparisons between watches and women somewhat creepy.
I like the letter
cos it explains very well to a "newbie" in simple terms about mechanical watches and why we love them....i resonate well with some of the points you made there. A bit long though but necessary. did you get him a Nautilus?
Some excellent points indeed
but that Cleves & Lonnemonn part makes it, sadly, like vulpine way of marketing Curiously D
Some great points
Ok, so you're a traditionalist, I like that. It's a worthy letter to your son, and is actually a great idea. Better for your son's watch to have a story, for your story to be remembered by your son with a watch, and for you to watch your son and remember ...
Actually, dammit, I loved it...
I re-read it a second time. Yes, I loved the letter. I'll do the same with my three young boys one day.
Great letter from a father to his son!
I find the watch content to be secondary to the "live your life" statement.
Nicely worded..........
I just wish that my Father may have done something similar! Oh well...................
