On Ariel's Watch: Is Being A Watch Collector Still Fun?
It has been nearly 20 years that I have considered myself a watch collector. Before that, I was just a kid who never left the house without a timepiece. Toward the beginning of the 21st century, I stumbled upon an attractive relic from the 20th century - the fine mechanical wristwatch.
