I'm always drawn to watches, especially analogue ones. Perhaps it's the resemblance to that ultra-analogue of timekeepers, the sundial. Like ancient stone circles, they seem to relate the anthropological to the cosmological.
This Classic Mondaine Swiss Railway design (dating back to 1944, by Hans Hilfiker) is the only watch I've worn for many years now, whenever I go out, or to time some fast cookery, like a flash-fry.
I wear one on each wrist - the smaller one that goes on my right wrist used to belong to my Mother.
