New Watch in the Box

Post by Aaron Shapiro » Sat Oct 21, 2023 7:19 pm

Earlier this month my wife and I went to Germany. We were spending a night in Dresden and while checking some drive times on Google Maps I saw how close Glashutte was ... and I began scheming.

I'll spare you my waxing poetic about how cool this experience was... I am super stoked on this Zurich Weltzeit; the experience was very cool...

Aaron, I can only imagine what all of that must have been like. :o :headbang:
Just being in Germany with your wife must be, or have been so
extraordinary. But then to have a chance to visit a watch maker
like Nomos had to be amazing ! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: Plus you picked up a
watch?! ..Well I am thinking that that time you guys spent there
will be not only unforgettable, but maybe just the first time of
doing that. Seriously, you probably will want to go back again,
and again right?!

I mean not that you will get a new watch every time, :grin: but it
would be incredible just to get into going over there every once in
a while maybe. Or even visiting other watch makers too. In any case,
wishing you a CRAZY cool congratulations here !!! Thx for sharing
the trip with us too !
