Isolate and **** off. Be pragmatic.
I certainly did not seek to have as many as I do. We do what we do.
UNIFORM LA CHILLICOTHE WORK JACKET Drop, going on right now.
Uniform LA's Chillicothe Work Jacket is an elevated take on the classic Detroit Work Jacket. Made of ultra-premium 14-ounce Japanese canvas, it has been meticulously washed and hand distressed to replicate vintage workwear that’s been worn for years, and available in three colors.
This just dropped today. If you missed out on the preorder, there are some sizes left, but they won't be around for long. Check out the remaining stock here
Good luck!.

I certainly understand what you are saying. If I count my least expensive watch, my MoonSwatch, I'm actually at 16 watches.I miss the days of having a "tight five". I enjoyed the act of curating around having the right variety, but ultimately I got tired of the churn needed to actually try all the stuff I was interested in without exploding the collection. I'm at 10 or 13 now depending on how you count some cheapies and it kind of drives me nuts, especially given 3 or 4 of them are clear winners for me now.

I found years ago, that for me the optimal number to own for frequent rotation was 4 watches. When I had 4, I would wear all of them at some point during the week. 5 was fine, I managed to wear all of them during the month, if not during the week. When I reached 6, I was no longer rotating through all of them during the week, and often not wearing all of them during the month.
Perhaps, work or other obligations became more significant, and also led to my not wearing all of my watches as often as I once did.
When people have more than a certain number of watches, some people may feel obligated to wear all of them as often as possible to justify either owning all of them and/or adding more. It was nice when I did wear at least 4 or 5 watches a week, but that can start to feel like work. Now, I don't really think about how often I'm rotating through my watches. I just switch watches when I feel like it, or if there is an event/activity that calls for wearing a specific watch.
I know, first world problems!
That's the squattocracy for you.Yes I know… you only gave Rolex to your sister’s boyfriends… peasants !

Today, bought my sister a VCA suite of snowflake jewellery for her up coming nuptials… the 3rd time.Yes I know… you only gave Rolex to your sister’s boyfriends… peasants !
I have owned other watches, but I sold/traded them many years ago, if they weren't the right piece for me and weren't getting wrist time. Now I don't purchase anything unless I truly love it.I would have thought you would have way more watches than that.
How many of those are Cartier?
I bought my PP5170G before Foo bought his so there’s that.Brax, what slot is this? UnFacconable is making a strong case for this being the OneWatch. Of course TheFoo owns this watch.
Now incline it 30-40 degrees, and use that macro lens... it is the three dimensionality of the detail that makes the Breguet dial special.
Interestingly, although the Pasha isn't their biggest seller these days according to a friend/fellow Cartier collector back when it was released and all through the 90's it was one "The watches to own" along with the Santos. I think these days people who want a Cartier are usually choosing the brand for their non-round watches. That being said, if they came out with a more modern version and size for the Santos Ronde, I'd definitely get one. I nearly bought one in the mid 90's.I will always be a Pasha lover no matter what the sales figures say. And never seen a Pt metal one before.
Is this the model with the F.Piguet movt inside?
I love their guilloche work, but from some angles the ultra straight lugs aren't my favorite design.Now incline it 30-40 degrees, and use that macro lens... it is the three dimensionality of the detail that makes the Breguet dial special.

Like a Beethoven later work, I know it inside out yet on every return, find something new
I think if I just focus my response to this sentence it will help crystallize things. The claim above is premised on the notion that (i) watches have some sort of meaningful objective function (which could be aesthetic or based on mechanical complication) and (ii) that people collect watches to satisfy this objective purpose across a variety of situations.My point is that anyone owning more than one is perhaps better served by diversity, rather than versatility.
