Or maybe I’m mixing my metaphors with a razor blade. My wife sent me a collection of Amazon advertisements for wooden watches, which I can only hope is a little different from wooden nickels. Here’s my favorite (based entirely on looks) of the bunch.
But, as I mentioned to her, they look a little fragile. Given the condition of my current watch, made of metal and glass, I can’t help but wonder how many pieces this sort of watch would be in after a year.
After using digital watches for years, I find I favor the old analog dial faces more – they have a certain grace that digitals often lack. (Oh, and I always hated those watches with calculators built in. Hate hate hate.) I suppose you could make an argument that this is a responsible use of renewable materials, if in a tiny way. But then you’d risk being shouted down by those who would like to return to the old ways. The real old ways.
Go to bed at dusk, get up with the sun. When the sun’s directly overhead, eat lunch.
Not my style, though.
I happen to be wearing a Fossil watch myself. I wonder if they’ve put together a model that features a T-Rex as the hands? Or would that be jumping the shark?
(Functioning on maybe 4 hours sleep. If you can call this functioning…. but the visual of jumping a shark was in appalling bad taste and in no way will I be sharing it at this time.)
