I appreciate watches as objects of permanence in a world of throwaway goods.

I started wearing good looking quartz watches a couple of years ago because I think they make business dress look much more put together. I only recently got into mechanical watches because A) they’re cool, and B) like everything else I take things way too far with items I am into.

For me a fine mechanical watch is about the only accessible, physical, concentrated dose of human ingenuity applied at human scale. Just marvelous.

More fashion forward than I thought). Now I appreciate time more than ever and just marvel at the intricacies in some of these complications. Also as a form of expression a watch can say a lot about someone...

I was in my late teens when cellphones came to India and it was in my very early 20s that I could afford one. Till then it was always a wrist watch for time and now I feel naked if I don’t wear one, even though I rarely use it to check the time.

Never cared for watches, but was gifted a sub for my 20th birthday. It took a couple months for it to grow on me and I haven’t taken it off ever since... I’ve bought other, more expensive, watches but I always gravitate back to my sub...

always liked watches since my first casio (early 1980’s). now watches are still a fascination and I feel like it is the only acceptable big jewelry purchase as a guy. father had a rolex datejust when I was growing up then he got a sub. when I got married my parents gave me a zenith el premiero and when I turned 32 my dad gave me his sub as he had upgraded to a yacht master. I love the sub (two tone) - recently had rolex refurb and service it (came back like a new watch).

All my cousins are in the watch business and growing up I used to help them. Got to learn about them early.

Start each class with a few seconds of stillness. It takes consistent practice. Most students will blurt something silly out after about 4 seconds. Expect it and smile. After time is up ask students to notice what they were doing during that time. No shame. Notice and strive to be more still next.

1. Hands, feet, mouth, arms, legs still (a veritable challenge)
2. Close the eyes.
3. Long exhales to bring in the calming chemical acetylcholine.

Mom of two here (21 month old and 5 month old) who is starting to consider having a third. I am in my late 30’s and my doctor just recommended I start trying at 6 months postpartum. I am thinking I want to start closer to 8-10 months postpartum but have no idea what to expect with a third. Is anyone in a similar situation? Moms or Dads of two, do you ever look back and wish you had tried for three? Moms or Dads of three, how was the transition from two to three and how much did life change?

Hello all! So I’m currently a Realtor in LA. Prior to being a Realtor, I was a store manager for a luxury store in Beverly Hills. I was kind of forced to get out of retail when the pandemic hit so my only option at the time was to jump in to real estate as I already had my license. I’ve been feeling unfulfilled with real estate and truly miss luxury retail. Does anyone have any referrals for luxury retail jobs in Los Angeles? I would love to hear from you! Thank you for taking reading my post!

Went in to check compare sizes for an Aqua Terra (green dial) but now torn between that and Moonwatch Sapphire (manual wind but the case in the back is just 😍)

This is going to be my main watch for the next 20+ years so I want to make sure I pick correctly!
