Quarter Century! Yup, it was my 25th birthday today. Can’t believe the years passed so fast – I know I still have my collection or Barbie dolls somewhere. I woke up to the view of light drizzle of snow. To me, that meant my birthday was going to be special. Pampered girl that I was, […]
On his 3rd year at work at the auto factory, my friend Edgar Holman received his first promotion. He was promoted to line foreman. I’m not sure what exactly that meant but he mentioned that part of his job would be to monitor the amount of time taken for each work on the car being […]
A see-through back on a watch, has the same logic as a see-through kitchen in any restaurant. The idea is that the kitchen (or the watch innards), are beautifully laid out, is squeaky clean and the precision with which everything is done is worth watching. For a diver, precision is everything. Right from wearing the […]
It was around 8 p.m. that day when I parked my car into our garage. I remember the time because I was late and of course, my wife had thoughtfully put a wall clock on our garage wall to remind me of the time. Don’t know about you; but it makes me laugh each time […]
Like me if you are a modern watch collector, you need to check out the Fossil Barstow FS5508 Quartz Analog Men’s Watch. I love it for its sheer simplicity, quality, elegance in design and overall appeal. The 42mm case ensure it is easy to read and can be viewed from a few feet away. The […]
I often feel I should buy a bunch of wrist watches for 7-year old daughter; she keeps asking me for a new watch every 6 months or so – regular as a clock I’d say. Her explanation for requiring a new wrist watch so frequently is quite innovative. Sometimes she’s lost the watch during a […]
Some days ago, my colleague Steve was talking about the Timex Intelligent Quartz technology. He was of the opinion that Timex offers some awesome timepieces with the latest features and innovations for a very affordable price range. My interest was aroused and so I set about finding whatever there is to know about the Timex […]
After a tough battle against drug addiction, my brother’s daughter i.e. my niece was at last released from the Galway rehabilitation centre. The next day after her arrival, myself and my wife went over to visit her. We were a bit shocked at her state; she had lost over half her weight and looked all […]
Apart from being my next-door neighbour, my friend Jimmy and I were very close. You can say we grew up together, went to the same school by the river in Athlone, Ireland. You might wonder what any of this has to do with the Tissot Dream watch. Patience my friend, I’ll get there. Jimmy and […]
It was the 25th anniversary of the company I work for – a company that produced handmade cars for a select list of high net-worth individuals. The company was doing well and so, for its 25th anniversary the management decided to distribute amongst its staff, a special cash bonus. Obviously, this is not something that […]
During a routine visit to my brother’s place, his daughter, all excited, came up to me and said she was to go to a “new big school from next week”. I congratulated her and asked her if there was anything she wanted – “school bag, drawing kit?” I prompted. “Watch, I want a watch” she […]
It was my husband’s 35th birthday and I thought I would gift him a watch because believe it or not, the one he was wearing was a watch gifted to him by his (late) father on his 25th birthday. It is a typical nondescript watch of the time with no features other than the displaying […]
