Vintage Jewelry Watch
I feel that it would be interesting to make a little survey amongst our
wives, daughters, girl-friends, in order to assess what kind of watches
women wear, which ones they like, dislike and what would be their ideal
watch.
My wife like to wear vintage Omega and other gold watches, inherited
within the family. She also wears some of "my" old watches and
"prototypes".
My eldest daughter usually wears the skin swatch with the metallic
"jewelry" chain bracelet. My youngest wears either a rectangular
Festina chrono or a Century Vacuum Chronometer, which she swaps
sometime with her life partner, planned to become husband in around
18-24 months.
Any comment?
My wife maintains she neither needs nor wants more watches, and I had to
persuade her (by buying her one) to have an everyday watch that will
stand up to being thumped around. Now she has it, she is very fond of
it.
Until then all she had was a 1974 gold ladies' manual wind Omega, which
is still going well and keeping time to +20secs per day. She wears this
for dress occasions and for work (civil servant).
I bought her a ladies' quartz Seiko which she wears while performing
everyday household tasks, etc. I also bought her a cheapo 14ukp Casio
which she wears while gardening and doing other violent or messy things.
She doesn't understand why I have 13 watches.
