Once upon a time, many, many, years ago in a living room far, far, away, my brother-in-law was incessantly bragging about a brand new Tag Heuer watch that he had just bought. Even worse he was obnoxiously sneering at everyone who was wearing a quartz watch that was common among mere mortals. It got old fast and everyone present was sick of it. Finally, I had enough.

"Hey, what time is it over there on your fancy Tag Heuer watch?"
"1:15."
I glanced at this Rumours watch and replied, "Same here."
The room burst into laughter and my brother-in-law ceased his bragging. It was an unforgettable moment and a victory for the common watch.

This Rumours watch has been in my collection for 26 or 27 years. I hope it persists for a very long time. You can read about my Rumours watch here on this blog.
