How Many Time-Pieces Can You See Right Now ??

From the comfort of my Den, and without getting in the safe to count watches, I have direct line-of-sight to 14 time-pieces..including the computer.. 16 if you count two wristwatches.

Only one Rolex in the bunch, and that's the one I just took off to replace with an Omega for the day.

I can hear some of them ticking all the time, and 4 of them have Westminster Chimes....

It's no wonder nobody wants to ever stay over..

Does an older wife count as a time piece?

I am sitting in a boring meeting - in the back of the room with my blackberry. I can see many wrist watches - but only one REAL watch. The guy next to me is wearing an 18k President. Unfortunately my Sub ND is still with the RSC and I'm wearing a Sterling Silver Georg Jensen (Danish Jeweler) watch while I am waiting for my loved one to return (but that's another thread) :-(
