Honestly I wish sometimes I had a goal that would slow this passion lust I have for timekeepers. Like Monty I have "other" timepieces that follow me home. As for Gruen I find my self focused in an era like the 20's for a time and then suddenly see something from the golden 50's and I re-focus there for awhile. There are specific pieces and items that I guess would be a goal but I tend to call my "list".

I've been a bad boy lately and this followed me home last week.

Back in the day I had to stand lookout duty aboard a destroyer I was stationed. On the bridge I'd would always sneak a peek into the quartermaster's shack and look at a beautiful Hamilton 22 chronometer they used to keep time throughout the ship. The analogue Navy...Anyway this one is a 1918 Waltham that served 2 world wars.
