  1. Capitalism Sucks

    Over the years, my wife and I have come to patronize a local jewelry store. A nice place with nice people. Their willingness to carry a variety of artisans and watch makers have made me and my wife happy, and them none to worse for the wear.

    I was given quite a few kudos as I was the first customer to buy a JLC when they started carrying the line. That watch was the older version of the Master Moon. Later, I added a Reverso Duo. Over the years I added an Oris pointer date big crown ...
