The Year In Perspective - What a Bittersweat Year 2020 has become

The year 2020 is about to come to an end. What a year it has been. The world faced a pandemic while I faced an important question about my watch collecting future.  

Historically, I started collecting watches (as a serious hobby) back in 2010. Since then, I have accumulated 222 watches into the collection. I took the hobby seriously and I made it a point to write a blog posting on every watch I got; a sort of owner's review.

Since the pandemic hit, it was difficult for me to visit my watch dealers. It was also difficult for me to buy watches online as my office is not operating normally (I decided against sending it to the house as no one is there constantly as well). Hence, I was forced to curb my buying cycle.

After many months of this self-imposed shopping freeze (I did get some watches but it was not as consistent as before), the urge to acquire watches started to fade. 
 
Oh well, I suppose this is a Covid-19 symptom for watch collectors. Hopefully, this is temporary.

Anyway, just want to wish all of you a Happy New Year and may all troubles disappear in 2021.

  1. Happy new year and thank you for your blog. It has been a welcome resource, particularly because you have amassed a varied collection and some pieces that are less covered by reviews and social media by other collectors. 2020 was the beginning of my journey so you have been a great influence.
