I walked into Tourneau today to check out some new wrist candy. I’ve been wearing a Limes watch for the last 4 years or so. It has a leather a strap and has been a very faithful servant in the noblest German sense. It is an automatic watch, my first, in fact. I was in love with the idea of never having to think about battery replacement. But, the reality was that I had to start thinking about moving my wrist. Occasionally, I like to take off my watch. It’s not waterproof, so I have to remove it when I shower. But sometimes I forget to put it back on right away. And sometimes I just plain don’t want to have a watch on my wrist. So what happens is that poor, little German Limes goes into a freaky pattern of inaccuracy that lasts pretty much all day. Don’t get me wrong, I love this watch. I got it at a thrift store at a time when I wanted to desperately to upgrade from a Swatch (long story, don’t ask), but could not afford to splurge very much. I dropped only $250 but got a respectable piece of craftsmanship for my wrist. I’m sure it’s not the Limes fault. I have speculated that the watch is designed to “speed up” when it’s been motionless and off your wrist for a while. That’s a pretty neat idea. That way, when the watch finally does come to complete stop, it’s more likely to be close to the actual correct time. But, in my case (as I explained) what happens is that I put it back on when it’s quite fast. Of course, I expect this and check my cell phone or the clock on the wall, and adjust accordingly. But, you see that this is a far cry from not having to “worry at all”. Sure, I’m not worrying about batteries or winding, but I’m forced to think, which is just as bad. What I want is not to think about what time it is, for starters, and then maybe to throw in a little bling for blingtooth. What do you think—Bulgari Aluminum
Forget about the prurient interest or community standards of any kind. Naked bodies, sexual themes and even actual sex have been a part of “so called” Art since the beginning of time. I think we deny this fact and discount its implications as much as we do because it remains easy for us to distinguish Experiences of Art from Experiences of Porn—Boris Vallejo Porn
