Vintage memories

[foghorn]

Attention vintage watch owners.
Where would you like to be if your watch was just purchased as new??

I would like to be wearing my brand new Hamilton





at Birdland in NYC in 1962 to hear Miles, Trane and Dolphy blowin' up a storm.

Pushint mr armstrong out of the way and faceplanting into the dusty surface of the moon first. All, of course, without shattering my un-shatterable hesalite crystal speedmaster!

The year would be 1949. I'd be wearing my Hamilton Clinton. I would have just picked up the latest book printed by Valenti Angelo.



And then I would join my friend in Bridgehampton for the on-street race course in his 1947 MGTC.

I'd like to be in a Chevy dealer buying a '57 Bel Air while wearing my new Hamilton Storm King. Or having dinner at the White House with the Kennedy family wearing my '61 Longines. Or going to a Stones concert with my '69 Omega Constellation. Or drag racing in a split window Vette, or checking out Elvis groupies, or......you know what? I think I was born 25 years too late. I suppose there will be people who say the same thing 25 years from now.

haha, i can see it too

" wish I was at the scene as Jacob from Jacob & co was being arrested, all while wearing my vintage 5 timezone jacob & co. Today's trend of wearing clocks around your thighs has just gotten too out of hand, and I remember the days watches were only 45mm wide....."
