My father's watch

I have kept this object my whole life, it is the watch that my father gave me for my 21st birthday. It is a navy blue chronograph from the Rodania brand and is truly one of my most cherished accessories. In times of modern digital technology, it has taught me to love the little technical analogue wonders that we can hang around our wrist. It meant that I no longer had to look at my smartphone to know what time it is and it brings me so much more peace of mind. I hope to pass this watch on to my own children one day, because unlike any modern smartphone, this piece of mechanical engineering will last for decades.
