putting the logical in horological
The Theowrist is a watch blog with a logical twist, pondering the various thrills and ills of watch ownership, watch collecting and watch neurosis. Exploring why I like watches, I share my watchbox, and open the caseback of my mind to see what is going on in the twisted ticking brain of a watch theowrist. It is unfortunate at times, but I like watches, I like them a lot.
