Do you guy carry timepieces? I guess it's a bit old school, but I have a fascination with timepieces for some reason. And I'm really into alternate power supplies. So I have a standard battery powered quartz pocket watch (my wife got me one with a coin on the clamshell, I also have a thing for old coins), and a solar powered watch (eco drive that's near 20 years old and doesn't hold charge anymore, needs a new capacitor), a gravity powered clock in my living room, a couple hourglass at my desk at work... and I recent got a new watch... a automatic mechanical divers watch while a friend of mine was in Switzerland. I'm being made fun of at work because apparently watches are for old men. But I still think they're cool af. Makes me wonder if you guys think that's old fogey ahit or is it a fashion statement? I just dig collecting them.

I like wristwatches as both a fashion accessory and a cool piece of human engineering, my only current smart watch in rotation is for golf. I have a few MVMT quarts watches which replicate the look and style of watches I can't afford (or at least shouldn't buy) like the IWC Portugieser or TH Aquaracer, but my highest and best automatic movement is the Hamilton Jazzmaster Maestro. It's a bit of a rip off of the Portugieser with a thicker case and wider body, but it captures the same simplistic look and feel of the up-market buy.

Plus, I like to get the larger, phablet-type phones, so pulling out half a tablet to check the time gets to be a bit of a pain, so I think they definitely still have their place.

I read most of that in Patrick Bateman voice.

Yeah, it's arguably the creepiest post in board history.

Timepieces. Masterpieces. Chess pieces. Reese’s pieces.

Yup. Sini creating an actual dating profile for denis has been surpassed. Well done JLN.
