Horological Meandering

Do you rotate your watches and wear a different one each day or like me i go through phases this week has been a FF last week was Panerai i have noticed i seem to wear a certain watch for a week or so then  rotate this way   So how do you all wear your watches

To stay on a winder, a watch must be accurate enough that it won't have to be set frequently. All my other watches I jut pick up and start wearing as the mood strikes me. I almost always wear at least two watches in a day (daytime and evening). Most of my watches don't have dates, and I rarely set the dates on the ones that do.

if you are out and about different watch for different scene or mood, i use to use a winder but found that i still had to wind them after about week and a half  do you find this too?

I use a windmill-style winder on a lamp timer, so I just adjusted the amount of running time per day until I got where I wanted to be. (The timer doesn't work well with single-direction winding watches. When I want to keep one of those on a timer, which is not that often, I have other timers that will work with single-direction winding watches.)

The watches I keep on the winder tend to be very efficient winders. I think that if I put a "normal" automatic watch on the winder without increasing the winding time I might have a problem.

although I occassionally get lazy and wear one two days in a row.

...I generally wear whatever watch I've chosen for that week.  My favorite watch to wear on the weekends is my Seiko 5.

I generally rotate them so I wear a different one everyday.It's more fun that way.=)

... that's what i decided to apply regarding my relation with watches ... How i choose them, the budget for them, what i wear, when i wear, for which event i wear it. I decided it was best not to impose myself a discipline. I tried to in the beginning, so i get a maximum wrist time for each watch. Problem is i wasn't getting maximum pleasure that way. So whatever makes me happy on the spot, i go for it... follow ur heart

Being a woman, I can say without embarrassment that I match the watch to the outfit for the day.   On workdays I generally pick everything out the night before including watch and jewelry, wind up the watch and set it (day and date too, I am fussy), but I reserve the right to change my mind.   I have certain more rugged watches that I will change out of when I finish doing whatever messy activity I was engaged in, and dress watches for evenings out, but otherwise I tend to wear the same one all day.    In hot sticky weather I tend to rotate much less - there are a few that are most comfortable.

and keep two complicated-to-set watches on the winder.

Hi gazoz,

interesting question of you which resulted in some interesting answers as well.

I wear my watches in no regular pattern, but depending on my daily schedule:
if I´m at work which means gloves, desinfectant use, possibilty to hit something I use a "daily beater" with a nylon strap, on night shifts a well readible watch.

If I´m off work, it again depends on what I´m up to: sports, music, theatre, being out with friends.
On the more social occassions (like some forumners mentioned before) I try to match my watch with my clothing in style and colour.

Best regards,

This the watch I currently wear, so you may guess where I am right now

 

Been wearing my grand Seiko mostly.

If there is any "reason" for me to pick a specific piece over another it would have to be based on: 1) event I'm heading to, or, like Ginger, 2) what I'm wearing. Warmer colors with colored metals, cooler colors with white metals.

Aloha,

on my mood....

....If I just bought a new (or Vintage) watch than I will most definately wear it for the week or maybe longer.

Often I wear a watch during the week, and change (according to activity or going out) on the weekends.

But I have also had a long time that I have mainly  been using my daily beater, a few years old Turn-O-Graph with white dial. A sporty watch without overdoing it....Can do with suit or jeans.

When I travel, I try to either wear a GMT or 2 watches..

I dont use watch winders, as I tend to have many watches in my safe or at the bank (in the safe here).. Also, I mainly prefer watches with easy uncomplicated dials (aka, no perpetuals yet, though a PP or a IWC DaVinci would interest me..)

Best regards

Hans

 

P.S. Great idea with many great comments

Interesting thread.

In weekends, holidays and sport activities I wear my PP 5711. For office and business travel I rotate them following the color matching rule. My most used combination is brown strap with gold buckle.
