My Watch

I just got a new watch from my sec sch friends for my birthday present. They just pass it to me during our Sister's Outing which is about 2 weeks ago.This watch is a specific request from me. One thing is that to save the trouble to look for my present and secondly I really love this watch. I found this watch in Suntec. (I think the shop name is In Q Box) This shop is full of racks and people is able to rent the box to sell their stuff. It can be jewellery, watches or etc...

Ever since, I stepped into this shop I fall in love with the watches. The characteristic of the watches is that they need to be wind. Well in the modern world we got batteries operated watches, kinetic watches or even solar watches. But those watches that need to be wind are almost history to me. I only know the exist of such wind watches through my primary schools science teacher. Of course, I am aware that such watches still exist and it took very good craftsman to make one and they are damn expensive.

I love to watch the mechanism moving inside the watch, they mesmerise me. I will never get bored to keep on watching how the mechanism works and every little details that makes the watch complete. Another thing is that the second hand, it do not ticks but it is constantly moving. Err... It sound quite lame, but normal watches they only ticks. So far only the Seiko watch that I have given to weiwei that do not ticks.

For the past one weeks I have been wearing almost everyday. The only problem I face is I need to wind the watch. There are time that I have forgotten to wind the watches and unable to keep track of the time. Normally, it won't create a very big problem for me but this evening case is very funny one. I went to toilet 15 mins before our working hour end but the moment I step out of the toilet, I found the environment is very strange. The meeting area all light are off but my watches shows it still got 5 mins before our working hour end. Anyway, just happily walk back to my desk and then I figure out that our working hour ended 5 mins ago. My watch have stopped... Just another funny thing that happen in my daily life.

Unless you look at the moving second hand else you won't know that the watch have stopped moving. Anyway, people will only take a quick look at the watch to know the time but nobody will stare at the second hand to check whether it is still functioning. I will try to wind it daily...
