Watchlords

In the second drawer down on the left-hand side of my desk sits a box, thirteen by nine and a half inches (34 x 26 cm). This box is the repository for about four fifths of eighty or so project watches in waiting. As readers of this blog might imagine, the lion’s share of these watches is Japanese. The oldest dates from 1963, the youngest from 1981. They include eighteen Seikomatics of assorted flavours, thirteen King Seiko, eight assorted quartz including two Grand Quartz and three 150m diver’s watches, five Lord Matic, five Seiko 5 Sports, four Grand Seiko including one 44GS, one Self-dater and two 61GS, four Bell-Matic, four automatic chronographs, two Navigator Timers, one Sportsmatic, one Lord Marvel, one Omega Seamaster, one 39 jewel Girard Perregaux, one Seiko Sea horse and numerous assorted sundry that I’ve not catalogued.
