The author reflects on their fascination with watches, particularly the Citizen Promaster, despite initially pledging not to get involved in expensive hobbies. They appreciate watches as purposeful mechanisms that contrast sharply with modern tech devices. The Citizen Promaster Dive is highlighted for its design influenced by the fugu fish and its practical uses, like the Pomodoro method for productivity. This modern reissue pays homage to its 1989 predecessor, appreciated even by the Italian Navy, emphasizing its durable and stylish nature as a testament to timeless craftsmanship.
"Watches are fascinating anachronisms... charmingly unnecessary in a world where every device from cars to smartphones displays the time."
"I donât need to tell you, an Esquire reader, that... people like us who wear watches as a testament to a time when things were made with a purpose."
