Rhetorical question??

no idea. always have. watches and cameras. like the mechanical ones tho...watches and cameras. sad about film in a way...
Because we secretly want to prance around in our undies having pillow fights?
but we can't, so we elect to enjoy beautiful items of useful jewellery like watches and pens (at least in my case .... that 'pen' bit) IN all seriousness though, I think people enjoy experiencing fine design up-close and even though reps are ...well, reps - they allude to the original designer's skill. Of course, the desire to tell the time is covered by numerous devices now, so technically the watch is not as important as it once was. My wife just thinks "a man should own a nice watch" so who am I to question her? She owns some nice watches herself but after seeing my new Flying B No.1 is on the lookout now for something similar but smaller.
....and just on the pen thing: I love really nicely done steampunk stuff and think this pen is oober funky .... I wish there were some equally funky steampunk watches around .... I guess skeletons come close-ish but I am hoping for something more - any ideas?

Who knows why... Why, why would you ask that question??? There is no reasonable explanation and it forces me the second guess my passion!
Men are collectors by nature... baseball/football cards, comic books, hot wheels, tyco, action figures, stamps, guns, cars, etc... not to mention women
Watches are an extension of our collections... they are "Big Boy Toys!"

Watches are intricate mini machines. Men like machines.. They're also generally one of the only bits of jewellery most men will wear (apart from wedding rings..)
Then i will give you an address you can send all of your watches to.....And they will be propperly disposed of.
