I have watch envy. I mentioned a few weeks ago that my buddy was entering the market for a fancy watch. He’s already pulled the trigger. Although I was recommending an IWC Portuguese (below), he’s opted for the modern, refined Jaeger LeCoultre Master Hometime, in stainless steel with a brown leather strap. I’ll leave it to him to leave comments on the features and what makes it distinctive. Some beautiful photos of the watch are on the MinuteMachines Web site.

Congratulations, Jorge!

The runner up (IWC Portuguese Automatic in 18 ct. gold with brown crocodile leather strap):

And a parting quote to celebrate this purchase:

Too much time on my hands, its ticking away at my sanity
Ive got too much time on my hands, its hard to believe such a calamity
Ive got too much time on my hands and its ticking away from me

Styx, “Too Much Time on My Hands”
