My Life in Swatches: Coloured Love
Back in 1989, when I bought my St. Germain watch, it was a choice between that one and this one. It was a difficult choice, but I went with the St. Germain because it was black and white and I thought it would go with more of my clothes.
I bought this watch on eBay two weeks ago. Now that I’m an adult and I can afford it, I was able to buy the other watch of my dreams from my teen years.
I’m scared to wear this watch. I can’t buy new bands for it, so I don’t want to wear it with its original band. Maybe I’ll replace the band and wear it. Why is it so hard for me to think about wearing a watch that I have wanted for so long?!
Laura,
I was given this watch in 1989. I wore it out. It now sits in a drawer and I think of it fondly. I love swatches and lamented the loss of the swatch store.
thanks for the geek lunch
