I usually dont use watch...
😁😊
Dont deduce from this fact that i am godlike but perhaps almost godlike because i am retired... 😎
I never collected books or music albums only purchase a great amount of the two but because i read them or listened to them...
Collecting or hoarding is a strange act for me, especially watch and matchboxes ...
But i must reveal to be fair and then i contradict myself here that i am in love with beautiful hourglass and if i was rich i may have collected many for their beauty also...
Human nature is complex ...
i just discovered that i could have been a collector after all....
i am a strange animal also after all....
The difference between an hourglass and a watch is striking, you wear a watch because you dont want to WATCH time itself...You wanted to be able to be DISTRACTED out of time or to worked inside a span of time and dont want to pay attention to objective time when wearing a watch...Save if you are very annoyed by your job and dream to be out each passing minutes...
But an hourglass is completely different, you must WATCH it with a relaxed mind , and pay attention and meditate about the flowing instants or grains of sand and time...
An hourglass is a meditation tool...
A watch is a distraction for working fools... 😁😊
And solar watch is another meditation tool like the hourglass and also like a watch a way to forgot time by marking it...
Solar watch are more difficult to collect at the same place though ! 😁😊
And all the beauty of the solar watch design is to be an instrument alone in a specific garden under a specific sky...
The object i will pay for though to be constructed for my collection of unique object would have been an old mechanical chinese sismograh with 8 dragons heads which liberate a ball and determine the direction of the epicenter......
