It started with a conversation on well crafted objects.  A co-worker was talking hand tools and I brought up my fascination with fountain pens then he brought up watches.  Nothing would ever be the same again.  February I bought an Oris TT2-it was a week before Valentines-great timing on my part.  Still I was hooked.  I later inheirited a vintage Caravelle and my Avatar (Rolex Victory).  Then an Orient and it's been a slippery slope ever since.  In my search for more Orients I bookmarked IslandWatch for future examination.  Just recently I found that bookmark again and lo and behold there were lots of other watches that I wanted.  The first that caught my eye were the Arbutus' (top of the list, go figure)  I wanted to research more about the watch and found 3T.  Well here I am a happy new member of this motley crew (said with affection) and saving my pennies for the Arbutus watch and a Trias that caught my eye as well....(slippery slope darn it)

 

and that's how I found these hallowed halls
