Do you buy and keep all of your watches? Do you have a one and done collection or maybe you’re like me and feel like three is the magic number. Would be fun to start a thread and see the reasoning behind everyone’s watch purchases 😁
Personally I feel like three is the perfect (and somewhat reasonable) watch collection size for me since it covers all aspects of my life:
Nomos Orion 35mm - This is my mon-fri office watch
Omega SMPc 300m - My weekend / going out watch.
Casio A168 - My work from home and traveling watch.
My collection reflects my outfits options. I have 6 capsule wardrobe sets, and I have 6 watches to match those outfits. It sounds like a lot, but 4 of those are seasonal, so only 3 wardrobe is active at a time and that means only 3 watches are active at once.
I intend to double the watch count so that I have one luxury watch that I like and one obscure watch that I can wear anywhere without compromising my safety. I started with the latter first since that's the more affordable part of the collection, and I will be adding more luxury part of the collection in the years to come.
