it's strange, i scratched my ear just now and heard the ticking of my new watch and it clicked with me, that noise reminded me of something...
Gran always had a wind up bed side clock in her bedroom, with a very audible tick.. for one short moment as I held my watch by my ear I was there, in her bedroom, surrounded by the smell of Ellenet hairspray, talc and lavender.. and man it hurts...
I didn't buy the watch I set out to buy, it's not an automatic, it's not a dress watch, it in no way replicates the 64 Seamaster deville.. but by god that sound reminds me of Gran.. more so than old chocolate, re-frozen vienneta, cheeselets or advocaat..
I know now that I made exactly the right decision to buy the watch I did..
