Whoa, how have I never seen Hanhart!? That is one of the coolest chronos I’ve seen. Thanks for posting!

Holy crap the number of incels in this sub is staggering. We know nothing of the deceased or his wife except the heresy provided by OP.

She didn’t like him spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on watches. How tf is this a sticking point for anyone. Even the most fervent watch collectors admit how absurd it is that we spend such ridiculous sums of money on watches. OP said she would ask him to sell (understandable) and “probably” spend the money on clothes and traveling. Given the deceased was married to her, I’m going to make the not-so-large leap and assume they traveled together. An overwhelming majority of people would rather spend 10k on a trip than a watch. As far as spending the money on clothes, how is this any different than spending the money on watches? Travel is enjoyed by both, materialistic items are enjoyed by one. Whether watches or clothes, they are both selfish uses of money.

In community property states (Arizona, California, Idaho, Louisiana, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas, Washington, and Wisconsin), each spouse equitably owns anything earned during the marriage. Each spouse can do whatever he or she likes with his or her share of the community property. All other states are equitable distribution or common law states. The law is more complicated in these states as there are a number of factors that determine the distribution of property.

Though the deceased did not have a will, it is notable that there are laws that protect spouses from being disinherited even if a will tries to do so. Surviving spouses are often entitled to 1/3-1/2 of the estate’s assets provided they make a claim in court.

Hiding assets from your spouse is unethical and (in some cases) illegal. The level at which the deceased was concealing assets is morally untenable. If they were in such stark disagreement about their finances, they should have divorced, in which case he would legally have to disclose the watches.

I’ve put a swatch in a drawer two rooms away and still heard it ticking. Not sure if it’s still an issue, but this was the MOMA x Swatch Van Gogh collaboration. Couldn’t have been more than 6 years ago.

Ming copper w/ universal bracelet. Just did not at all live up to the pictures and videos. Won’t buy another Ming again; I realized it was largely an overhyped microbrand.

By my math there’s 70.6m ways to arrange this.

This might be the most arbitrary time wasting post on this sub. Surely each person on here would come up with a different way to put this together.

I desperately wanted the Defy EP Carl Cox but after seeing both it and the Defy EP Purple in-person, they really disappointed. My tastes since shifted to the dark revival, but I’m going to be sure to see it irl before making a move.

Yes, the PF Tonda is a deep cut among sports watch connoisseurs. It’s an expression of top tier watchmaking; something truly unique in a stale category. Still, the Czapek Antarctique S remains my favorite though I could see adding a Tonda after spending some years with the Antarctique.
