Swiss-German Heritage Celebrated in Watches
At my son's school, a classmate of his told him about a family reunion he attended with his parents and siblings. All the branches of the family at the reunion brought either vintage watches, if they had them-and apparently, most did!-and recently acquired watches, as well as ones to give as gifts, to add a new dimension to the family's heritage. I thought this was wonderful and wanted to hear all about it, so I called the child's mother and invited her to tea together with other mothers who were interested. We were all fascinated and also deeply touched by what she recounted. The vintage watches sounded like they must be just magnificent. Some of them sounded more like jewelry, really. We asked where she and her husband had gotten the more recently acquired watches and she said at goldsea.com/en. When she saw how interested we were, she brought out some photos from her purse. She said she hadn't wanted to bring them out unless it seemed like we'd want to see them. We appreciated her shyness and encouraged her to please show us every one of the photos! They didn't disappoint, they were amazing. The antique watches were splendid. I thought the whole event was really inspiring, both for family togetherness, appreciation of the generations, and the watches of course, some of which had been handed down, in fact, over generations.
