Fun Article, and Just in Time for My Week with the Meridiist
In Response To: Why are men obsessed with watches? ()

This really does look like an interesting article, and I look forward to reading it when I have some time. At least we are not called "nerds" in this article!! "Hobbyist" is a fine term!!

This article -- about men and their luxury accessories -- is timely, as I have just received a Meridiist ("TAG-Heuer Communication Instrument") to test for the week. Yikes . . . this hobby has taken me to some strange places!!

: There's a recession on. And yet magazines today are stuffed with
: adverts for power watches – and the industry is booming"
