A Change in the Winds?

This past week, I took a Thursday-Sunday road trip and I brought a total of three watches with me; the baby Alpinist, the Blood Moon (my night watch) and my Falcon.

It was the week for the Alpinist to be on wrist, but when I travel, I like to have at least one option depending on the situation and wardrobe I pack. I packed a couple of shirts (both black with red & white features) that either the Blood Moon or the Falcon wouldn’t clash with, but it turns out that I never took the Alpinist off for the whole trip, even for bed.

I never even wore the two shirts I planned on wearing that would have clashed with the Alpinist. I actually wore a t-shirt I don’t usually wear in public and a road trip themed shirt made specifically for this trip in order to keep the Alpinist on wrist all week.

Does this mean I don’t like my Falcon any more? I don’t think so (I will be participating in @Aurelian’s #1wc with the Falcon), but it does open the door to the question, right? Maybe I just figured I was going to get a lot of wrist time for the Falcon soon, I typically always wear the Blood Moon to sleep and just didn’t want to shirk on wrist time for the Alpinist and it’s as simple as that?

Whatever it means regarding the Falcon, I know what it means for the Alpinist; it’s not leaving the collection. After I won it as a door prize at a meetup, I wasn’t sure if I was going to keep it because I wasn’t even looking to add a new watch to the collection. In fact, I’m trying to downsize it to 10 watches & this complicates that. The heart wants what the heart wants though, I suppose.

Do you have a watch that entered your collection unexpectedly and earned its way into a permanent spot?

I cannot help but swoon for Lorier's marketing imagery.

Lorier is a tiny watch company out of New York and so when I first came across (and swooned over) the Zephyr it was sold out. Recently they had a new production batch and I'm so thrilled I was able to get one.

It's so good. It's so small and light, so nice to look at, so damn classy. That they can manage all this with a decent Miyota movement, sapphire crystal, and two straps for $500 is incredible.

Con los vídeos en #ARTE pasa como con la vida en general: van volando. Uno de mis conciertos más escuchados en #ARTEConcert pasó a la sección "Últimos días" hace poco. He pasado muchas horas cocinando con Paquito y Sandro #Lorier Gypsy Trio en Nancy Jazz Pulsations como banda sonora y pienso escucharles al menos unas horas más hasta el 6 de octubre.
