I combed Jack's writings to see if I missed any. I did. I missed this one.I follow Jack. He is my own personal know-it-all guy. He has written and informed my about sun dials, what an escapement is, and how the watch industry works and sometimes fails to work. I think he is just a curious person who wants to learn and then share it with us. A article about the most ordinary of watches, a Seiko 5, just to keep his hand in the history of it and his own history with it. If I could teach writing (an I have) I would use many of Jack's columns to show how it is done, and done really well. Thanks Jack.
Written from the heart. Thank you for sharing this touchpoint many of us share, Jack.
Superb, Jack. Just lovely. Thanks for sharing.
Great writing, Jack. Thank you
Very cool piece, and very cool watch.
I thought I had fallen in love with watches, but it turns out I'm just a a massive fan of Jack Forster!
Way too kind and thank you for reading :)
Beautiful ode to a common but still special watch. Only one question; would you wear it yachting?
