Once I journey, I are inclined to lose stuff. It’s only a actuality of my life: once I pack up a bunch of stuff, transfer it to a different place, after which put all of it again collectively to take again to the primary place, one thing inevitably goes lacking. A mobile phone charger, that low-cost pair of headphones, or one thing from the dopp equipment that’s simply replaceable on the pharmacy down the road. It’s by no means a disaster, however it occurs pretty typically, and it all the time mystifies me, as a result of basically I’m a reasonably organized individual in the case of such a factor. I feel that is the rationale I prefer to journey with a minimal variety of watches. I haven’t misplaced one but, however bringing a bunch with me appears like taking part in with hearth.
Touring with solely the watch on my wrist is definitely one thing of a liberating expertise. At house, I’m surrounded by my very own watches, consistently switching them up all through the day, which is impractical and pointless on trip. Hauling a major variety of watches with me on a trip would necessitate having to make selections about what to put on and when, which would appear to kill the stress-free trip vibes I’m virtually definitely after. Usually talking, once I’m on the street, the less selections I’ve to make, the higher. And with just one watch per journey, I’ve an precisely zero % likelihood of forgetting a number of in a lodge room, by no means to be seen once more.
Fortunately for me, the watches I personal are typically appropriate for all method of trip exercise I’m more likely to take part in, so I by no means actually need to play the sport of attempting to select one for a flowery evening out, one for a diving tour, and one for a brisk mountaineering session. Whereas I feel my Grand Seiko might really deal with all the above, kind of, a trip watch in my thoughts is one which doesn’t beg for consideration. It’s a reminder, in spite of everything, that in some unspecified time in the future you’ll must verify the time to be sure you catch that flight house, which is the very last thing I wish to take into consideration once I’m attempting to get away.
