Which watch do you go for on cold mornings to drink some coffee, relax and think abou

Hola amigos, I like to start the day slow whenever posible, life can get busy. What do you wear to read the paper and drink a nice beverage before the day commences? I prefer leather, gold is also nice for its warmth. I usually go for these. Share your lazy morning watch! Salud

Very cool trio. Refreshing.

I usually throw on my YG Daytona (116508) on a lazy morning. I like the contrast of a relaxing day with a boss of a watch.

Anything without a date, but often my Pam690. I like to look at the movement

Usually, whatever is on the nightstand from the day before. Today’s watch is selected when it’s time.

Man that is an amazingly cool trio. Any of these three would do the trick. All three of these have been/continue to be on my radar.

I would go with my Grand Seiko SBGM 231. Manual wind is so old school and it forces you to slow down, wind it and set the time. No date keeps it simple without reminding you of work obligations. Very cool post indeed.

I forgot to mention that in my post Brian, but I agree. That's a fun thing to look at on a quiet morning, especially if it's a manual wind.

A simple and elegant piece can help me start off the day on a good foot. It's soothing.

What a great trio you have there.

For me, it's got to be the warm tones of my DJ41 to go with a nice coffee.

I usually wear yesterday's watch on a lazy morning. It has the comfort of having been worn recently, and whenever I do need to get the day started, I will make a new selection then (or not).

I don't have a special activity for those activities.

In fact, I have to admit that I no longer engage in those activities.

Those are some nice watches, though, regardless of how one starts one's day.

Outstanding! What a great looking watch. I will absolutely have a Vacheron one day. For the time being my Grand Seiko will have to do.

Very nice! Two square watches, two with roman numerals, three icons. Well done.

I have a weird paranoia about wearing a Rolex at work. So Saturday mornings I’m normally wearing my Explorer.

No special watch for a slow relaxing morning. Plus I don't think I've had one for about a decade.

Exactly. Cannot remember when I last read a newspaper. And usually am wearing what I wore the night before or what I am going to wear that day- could be anything from a micro brand to Patek.
