President´s Choice

First day at the office! Mr. President Joe Biden spotted wearing a Rolex. Joe Biden is apparently a man who has good taste in timepieces. He is also seen with brands like Omega and Vulcain Cricket, also known as “The President´s Watch”. On casual occasions, even an Apple watch is a practical companion indeed.

As translated from this Swedish advertisement from 1956: “Men who control the fate of the world wear Rolex watches”

On photo below we can now identify Joe´s Rolex as a Datejust 41 ref. 126300, a steel model with smooth bezel, a Jubilee bracelet and a blue dial with applied baton markers.

I would love to have Joe Biden on “People & Time” section here. Well that will probably never happen.

Countdown…

The timer is on and a countdown for my new life to begin. After many years as an employed watchmaker at an Rolex AD in a small town in southern part of Sweden, I finally took the decision to resign from my safe and secure job. Some people say that it’s stupid and crazy and in these times of corona etc. Well they might be right, who knows. Actually the decision was made by me a time ago and all way before the corona crisis.

The timer is on

It’s time to be my own boss and time to follow the inner voice. It’s Chronologica time! ⌚ ?

Got myself a new west so what could possibly go wrong

Going through the process is a roller-coaster. From secure salary deposit every month to the bank account and.. Ah well money is not everything in life but hell yeah, they are needed indeed.

Evening by the bench

Yes there will be long days at the work bench. At least they will be spent at my own place. Wish me good luck guys.

And meanwhile writing this blog post that timer didn’t stop
