louis vuitton tambour orientation automatic watch / louisvuitton.com
they say you can tell a lot about a woman by the shoes she's wearing, the bag she's carrying. for me, the same could be said for guys: the watch, the cufflinks, the shoes. great accessories accentuate a simple outfit.
i've been on the lookout for a proper watch since summer last year. proper, being non frivolous, ideally non quartz, a grown up man's watch. and i've been swaying back and forth: how much i'm willing to spend/invest, what make, should i just put the money towards a house, should i invest the money in stocks, should i be sensible.
and getting the louis vuitton tambour orientation automatic watch just doesn't seem like a sensible thing to do. i tell myself to choose a watch from a proper watch maker, proper being from someone with a long established watch making history. but i don't think i can fault louis vuitton when it comes to watch making. lmvh owned tag heuer, zenith, hublot etc, there should be common knowledge and synergies. and i really believe, that the quantity of louis vuitton watches produced annually is lower than that of other established houses, purely because demand is lower.
and so i linger my thoughts, should i keep on searching. do i really like the louis vuitton tambour orientation, one that is so aesthetically beautiful with the pairing of blue watch face with brown alligator strap. do i really like the inbuilt complication where one can estimate the directions anywhere in the world (is that a glorified term for a compass?). because life's an adventure, life's living for the moment, a watch completes the journey with you.
i love. may not be a sensible option, but i've never been the sensible one.
