Something old, something borrowed, something blue
Recently, I started wearing this old Seiko watch again. The watch belongs to my mom and she passed it to me when I was in my teens. So for a few years, this watch accompanied me to school every day. Ya, I know it doesn’t look cool on a teenager but I don’t think I thought much of being cool back then. Anyway, I didn’t have much of a choice and spending money on a new watch wasn’t exactly in my agenda too.
But it’s a rather unique design and I love the blue face, plus the fact that this has a manual winding mechanism. Maybe it sounds troublesome but I actually enjoyed winding the watch on a daily basis; I think it’s kind of cool in my quirky sense of style.
This watch was a gift from my dad to my mom and she must have worn it for quite a number of years before she passed it to me. So I won’t be surprised if this watch is something of a semi-centennial now. I don’t supposed I can call it vintage as yet but maybe vintage-styled won’t be too far off?

I sincerely think it’s really cool and the colour combi will keep it pretty much from looking aged. It’s a meaningful timepiece I’d be glad to wear too ?

It’s a really nice watch, with gem tone blue, and such a special design. =) Watches that are gifts are always worth keeping no matter how old. As the Sovil et Titus tagline goes, Time is Love.

Thanks! Yes, was surprised he didn’t pick something gold and loud.
Oh what a lovely tagline…and speaking of which, I used to love watches by Sovil et Titus!
The color combi is lovely and you’re right…that makes it look timeless.
i remember the time when my dad used to have a winding mechanism watch and even I used to like winding it ? its fun and the watch really looks vintage ? its really awesome to preserve the family things and then over the course of time, they become heirlooms!!!

Thanks Nellz! ?
It looks very nice and I love the shape and the color of the face, too. I don’t usually wear a watch as my wrists are too thin to fit the non-kiddy sizes but I secretly love watches. I agree with vivavoomz, your Dad has good taste. ?
