[STOC] What’s your collection philosophy? (alien.top)

Do you buy and keep all of your watches? Do you have a one and done collection or maybe you’re like me and feel like three is the magic number. Would be fun to start a thread and see the reasoning behind everyone’s watch purchases 😁

Personally I feel like three is the perfect (and somewhat reasonable) watch collection size for me since it covers all aspects of my life:

Nomos Orion 35mm - This is my mon-fri office watch

Omega SMPc 300m - My weekend / going out watch.

Casio A168 - My work from home and traveling watch.

I'll probably end up doing the same thing. My project is a three watch collection with:

  1. A semi-elegant watch with a day-date function (which I got recently) for everyday use;
  2. A dress-watch for - obviously - dressier occasions (probably going to get an open heart because I really like them);
  3. A digital watch (either a g-shock or one of the regular Casio watches) for riskier situations (mainly sports and going to the beach).

Getting anything more than that simply feels like too much to me. The only exception would be dress-watches since having more than one can be useful to make the watch match the dress.
