Interesting experiment Steve- and some super photos in there.
Although I know it was primarily geared towards understanding if one watch (and a single-hander at that) would work for a fortnight away, does it change your perspective on whether a solitary piece or significantly smaller collection might be more appropriate as you start to wind down from work and move towards a new chapter?
A solitary piece? No. A significantly smaller collection? Quite possibly.
Though the thinking, especially as regards the latter option, has been skewed in the last few weeks by the arrival of the Ulysse Nardin, slightly out of the blue and very left-field. Perhaps unsurprisingly, it has shot to the top of the Want to Wear list. It is going to be quite difficult to dislodge.
I had some doubts about the Meistersinger, but it has now proven its worth and I reckon it is safe. The Moonwatch and the Cartier Tank are similarly safe, being memento pieces. I’m reassessing at the moment, but I’m aware that I have several watches that I’m simply not wearing and, if the truth be known, I’m fairly unlikely to wear regularly in the future.
