Personal Milestones

Nostalgia can be a powerful feeling, and I've grown accustomed to the watches I own. Some of these pieces have been in my collection for nearly nine years and have become milestones in my personal journey. While they are just material possessions without intrinsic meaning, they hold significant value for me at this moment.

In the first three months of 2020, I spent time alternating between my Rolex, Omega, and Zenith, ultimately rotating back to the Omega. Mechanical watches have become my preference, but I appreciate having at least one quartz option, which is why the Armani has a place in my collection.

 

Although I rarely wear my Seiko, it remains a favorite. Every collection needs at least one reliable beater mechanical watch.
