I’m not sure if you’ve noticed this too but there’s been a bit of an emphasis on watches lately. Smart or mechanical, it seems that watches are de rigeur at the moment.
Back in July, I received a FitBit Surge watch from hubby and a stunning Skagen mechanical watch from my parents-in-law for my birthday. In the past couple of months, I’ve also had the privilege of scoring some pretty fancy timepieces from the opshop.
Just a few weeks ago, I was selected by Tokki Watches to participate in an expert roundup discussion about the potential future of versus mechanical watches. I’d love to hear your thoughts on this topic too! If you would like to check out the answers from an impressive lineup of fashion, lifestyle and watch bloggers, head over [HERE].
And then just last week, I had the privilege to attend the launch of new TW Steel Mick Doohan Special Edition watch at The Olsen! I know what you’re thinking: it’s as if all the hands on the clocks are aligned! Since smart watches are making a big splash in the retail market, there’s never been a more crucial time for mechanical watches to keep up in terms of design, pricing and social media outreach.
The recent spotlight on timepieces confirms the adage: time is precious. Watches tell the time, but we determine how it is utilized. Our time is in our hands. Or should I say, on our wrists…
The late Steve Jobs said “My favorite things in life don’t cost any money. It’s really clear that the most precious resource we all have is time.” I couldn’t agree with him more. Being a working mom, time truly is the most cherished commodity, and one that I’m forever pursuing.
So, it is time, to love and to share, to forgive and forget, to hope and to dream. It is time to live and to dare.
