It appeared while I was clearing off the shelf in my closet. I put it on my wrist because I couldn't decide where to store it. It's been there ever since.
It's not a fancy watch. It is a very specific watch. It is rectangular. It sports Arabic numerals, all twelve of them. The numbers are readable. There is a second hand.
My mother and I had many pleasurable if unsuccessful shopping excursions looking for this watch. We shopped on Long Island and in New Jersey. On my own, I examined watches in malls all over Arizona.
I don't remember where, finally, we found this one, but I do know that I was tempted to write to Anne Klein and thank her for creating the only watch in the known universe with these specific characteristics.
G'ma wore this every day until she died. I put it on without much forethought. I've kept it on intentionally. I love having my mom around. We talk a lot. I rub the wrist band and feel her hugs.
This watch doesn't analyze my sleep patterns nor tell me where I've been. It's much better than that. It brings me G'ma.
I love the watch. Is it gold? If it is then I could wear it. I have a terrible time finding a watch that is small and thin and not made out of nickel or some other metal which causes terrible skin condition. I had a beautiful, perfect watch and the kittens hid it somewhere. I've not seen it for three years. I had to buy a new one that I can only wear for small amounts of time. Enjoy every "minute" with your mom.
ReplyDeleteI no longer wear a watch, but if I did it would be one like yours.
ReplyDeleteThat watch has all that a watch needs to have. You wear it well.
