A Different "Analog" Question


So I'm driving along today enjoying the sunshine and day dreaming as usual and something occurred to me. For those analog lovers do you wear an analog or digital watch? How about you digital guys? My front end is all digital but only analog watches for me.

I have a life-long love for wristwatches. The proper time is never more than a slight wrist flick away. By comparison, a smart phone is totally clumsy. I'd rather approach a person on the street and politely ask them the time. I never have to juggle anything. 

Watch hands are much easier to read than a digital read-out. A simple glance in the general direction of the watch is all it takes.

Over the decades, I've gone through probably a half-dozen wristwatches. Never a Rolex or a piece of jewelry like a Patek Philippe, but good quality Swiss and American watches. Yeah, all my mechanical watches eventually wore out, rusted or just went bad, but they were always a thing of beauty to wear. I keep 'em in a bedroom drawer so I can look at 'em. Ah, there's my macho but elegant IWC...

My latest watch is a Shinola. Proudly made in Detroit by folks who once toiled on motor vehicle assembly lines.
