A milestone for my son!

[GerardoG]

A few days ago, as I went through my watch-cleaning routine (do not ask, you know what I mean ) my 9 year old son sat next to me and started asking questions about watches. He knows I am a WIS and he has several of his own.

We spoke a lot about automatic vs quartz watches, and he was specially interested in one: A Swatch Body & Soul that I had bought 12 years ago and was sitting in the safe (with box, papers and original purchase receipt). The conversation continued for over an hour.

I later heard that he had told my wife that he wanted an automatic, transparent Swatch; so I decided to speed up the process and give him my Swatch.

His face brightened up as he smiled and put his 'new' watch on. His promise: to take care of it and to WEAR IT. It is amazing how something so simple can make us feel SOOOOO great!

Here is our wrist shot!
