Rant & Raves

I have taken new interest, or so-called hobby: watch appreciation and collection.

I have my eyes on Jaeger-LeCoultre and Patek Philippe nowadays, and I am trying to learn how to appreciate the watches, history and all that. After looking at those watches, I understand that it is extremely fine and beautiful, but after checking on the pricetag, they almost made me wet my pants.

Jaeger-LeCoultre is as expensive as a car, and the most expensive one can definitely buy you a bungalow. Patek Philippe is fine as well, and it can reach up to a bungalow or two.

I remember the days when I was in Europe, there were lots and lots of antique shops that sell antique watches. In Malaysia, its not easy to find this kind of antique shop so sometimes we will have to resort to buying from overseas. Too bad I didn’t know how to appreciate a watch back then, or else I would have bought a few watches during my trip.

Man, now I regret of cultivating this hobby. It is one hell of an expensive hobby.
