@Sulairris @kev Okay, that watch thing on here has been going on long enough now. Allow me to step in. Meet the crown jewel of my collection. Glashütte pocket watch. Late 1800s. Handed down for generations in my family.Oh and it still works….

@thewk @Sulairris @kev That is an absolutely stunning timepiece, and an even bigger piece of history.

@pimoore It actually survived the western front in WW-I and the eastern front in WW-II. Although I am not sure how my greatgrandfather hid it during his time as a POW in Russia...@Sulairris @kev

@thewk @Sulairris @kev I’m fascinated by the history behind this watch. I’d be afraid to wear it if only to damage something so rare and valuable, but on the other hand it just begs to be worn.

@pimoore Frankly I have never worn it since it came into my possession, for that exact reason. Maybe one day if someone makes the mistake and invites me to some high society ball or something ;-)But it kind of makes me wonder, how many of those expensive smartwatches will be working in 5 generations from now....@Sulairris @kev

@thewk @Sulairris @kev I think we all know the answer to that. 😉

@pimoore @thewk @Sulairris how many of them will be working by the time my 8 YO son is old enough to drink?I think answer is probably the same. 😂
