After a two-year hiatus, Three on Three is back. And for our big reboot episode, we're getting philosophical. In the old days, we'd pick a strict, quantifiable criteria (por ejemplo: Best mechanical watches under $1k) and have three people compare three different watches that hit the mark. Nothing wrong with that approach. But over the years,replica uhren we've learned that a lot of folks collect for more abstract reasons. For instance, they want a special watch to celebrate a personal milestone 鈥� that's it, that's the criteria.
In that spirit, we gathered three women to discuss watches that say "success." Any watch, new or vintage, was eligible. No specific price point, complication set, or aesthetic.
We did this for a few reasons.
As watches become more popular,orologi replica the definition of "watch person" is expanding. So we wanted to show some new faces, with fresh points of view. In this case, that means Dimepiece founder Brynn Wallner and Highsnobiety watch-and-jewelry editor Malaika Crawford. We're all relatively new to the watch world, with different career paths and different areas of interest and expertise. We also have different tastes. And different definitions of success.
So we spent a delightful session together,orologi replica omega talking, trading, and laughing about watches that, to us, say: "I made it." What we got were three very different watches, with very different prices, histories, and vibes. Brynn's is funky, Malaika's is bold, and mine is very blue.
Ultimately, this exercise tapped into what I think makes collecting so fun: The personal relationship between you and your watch. We all admired and respected each other's choices, but at the end of the day it was clear that the watch we chose for ourselves was the one that suited us best.
To me, you've really made it in the watch world when you have an illustrious collection 鈥� but I chose to wear a decidedly non-flex watch. It's a sturdy vintage piece built for everyday wear, despite its traditional classification as a "dress watch." It's something you'd be comfortable traveling with, walking around in Paris with 鈥� unlike if you were spotted wearing a yellow-gold Daytona, which might be someone's version of a success watch but to me almost feels comical at this point (and, at worst, leaves you vulnerable to the recent uptick in watch theft).orologi replica rolex Success 鈥� for me 鈥� is achieving a "less is more" mentality, a feeling of true comfort with oneself and one's possessions ... a lack of yearning for more, more, more. When I wear this watch, I feel grounded, which is all I'm ever looking for in life.
