Chapter 1: the first symptom

Image
I consider myself very lucky to have the possibility to dedicate some resources (time and money) to what I believe is today my strongest (and most dangerous) hobby: horology. And honestly, I sometime feels embarrassed about that. I mean, I don’t have a family tradition that led me into watches neither I have any close friend that is into watches. Which makes me more difficult to explain them (and sometimes to myself too) why I spent 8K for a Submariner or even worst, 27K for a gold Daytona. And I have tried many different explanations but the one that apparently is more accepted, guess what that is? “It’s an investment piece” lol. (I personally don’t believe that, and I hope my wife is not reading this). Everything started when I joined the adult world with my first job. I was 24 joining the Big Pharma world, and I remember wearing a wewood watch. I don’t even remember if that was a quartz watch or automatic one.

Preface

Journaling has always been very kind (useful indeed) to me. Especially to make me more aware and helping me coping with many different personal challenges. So that I have finally decided to apply it to my dear, love-hate, passionate hobby: that damn insane horology world. And I have decided to share my journey with the rest of the world, with the hope to find relief and maybe some good fellows that have the same “disease”. This blog has the goal to be honest, hilarious, a little bit quirky and provocative. So I hope the reader will not take some of my words as disrespectful. As Italian, I will take inspiration from my loved Italo Calvino. He redesigned the concept of lightness being a new perspective and originated by the weight of living. So that, with lightness I will face my insane horological journey. Like.Dislike. Subscribe. Comment. Judge. Share. Whatever you prefer. But please, do something. Ciao, A.
