In addition to tribology, I am very intersted in wrist watches.
Knowing time is a slippery notion but probably predates human concerns with oil. My preferences are for Swiss watches and only the mechanical types. I have a Rolex and a 36 year old Tissot. They are very reliable and with periodic service will outlast me. I have several Japanese (not seiko) watches which keep time as well as the Swiss ones.
I am not at all a fan of quartz or other electric watches.
Everybody has a watch, everybody must have an opinion.
