Crafted with Care: My journey began in a watchmaker’s workshop. Skilled hands carefully assembled my tiny gears, springs, and hands, ensuring each part fit perfectly.
Polished to Perfection: After assembly, I was polished until my metal case gleamed. My crystal face was added, clear and smooth, ready to display the time.
My First Owner
Presented as a Gift: My first owner was a young man named James. I was a gift from his parents, given to him on his graduation day. The look of pride and joy on his face was unforgettable.
Daily Companion: James wore me every day, checking the time frequently. I accompanied him to his first job, his meetings, and his adventures, always faithfully ticking away.
Traveling the World
Business Trips: James traveled for work, and I went with him to many different countries. I saw bustling cities, serene countryside, and everything in between.
Memorable Moments: There were many memorable moments – standing with James as he closed important deals, waiting on his wrist during quiet moments in hotel rooms, and ticking away the hours on long flights.
Facing Challenges
Accidents Happen: One day, James accidentally dropped me. My crystal face cracked, and my hands stopped moving. It was a scary time, but James took me to a skilled watchmaker who repaired me and got me ticking again.
Battery Changes: Over the years, I needed new batteries. Each time, James made sure to take me to a professional who handled me with care.
Passing to a New Generation
A Family Heirloom: As time went on, James grew older. One day, he decided to pass me on to his son, Michael. It was an emotional moment, and I was honored to continue my journey with the family.
Michael’s Adventures: Michael was just as adventurous as his father. Together, we explored new places, faced new challenges, and created new memories.
