 After the big earthquake that ravaged Chile, I am back to normal at home with no major damages and with all basic services back. This is not the case of thousands, though, especially in the south of the country. All my family is OK.

Inside my house, many things fell from the shelves, but mostly books and only minor things were broken.

Now the watch part of it. I went to my home office 5 minutes after the quake to get my cell phone, wallet and watch. The one that was in rotation and was outside of the box (Hami Poseidon) was not visible in the pile of books and stuff over the table and floor, so I got one of the boxes and grabbed my quartz Swiss Army. I guess that when I needed time certainty quartz was the choice...
