A father’s love is often hidden in those self-evident details, like a delicate watch, carrying endless care and teachings. Have you ever thought that a watch is not only a recorder of time, but also a transmitter of emotions? In this article, the author takes us into the deep emotional bond between fathers and children through a series of stories about watches, allowing us to explore the meaning behind these watches and the depth of father’s love.
Watch teaser
When we were growing up, our father’s love was often invisible. He used his composure and persistence to build a protective wall for the family, and used his unspoken care to accompany us through unforgettable years one after another. Although my father rarely expresses it, we can feel this deep emotion from the details in life. For example, whenever we encounter difficulties, my father will always encourage us to calm down and think of a solution instead of rushing for success; he will teach us to have our own perspective on time, rather than just follow the crowd. Through these influences, we gradually formed our own view of time, and this understanding and recognition was further confirmed in the watch our father selected for us.
The Pilot’s High Performance Chronograph 41 AMG Special Edition (model IW388305) is the first watch given to me by my father. This watch is simple and elegant. There are only two basic information on the dial: time and date, but it looks extremely refined because of its clear design and layout. My father told me that life is like this watch, organized and rhythmic. We must learn to control time instead of being controlled by time.
What he wears is the Portuguese series manual winding tourbillon day and night display watch (model IW545901). The biggest highlight of this watch is that it can reflect the passage of time through the alternation of day and night. I think this design is inspired by his father’s attitude towards life. He never fights for fame and fortune, nor does he use any means to achieve his goals, but follows his own rhythm and goes step by step. My father often said that time is your best friend. It will take you to your destination as long as you are not impatient or give up.
The concept of time that my father taught me is best interpreted in the Portofino series full calendar watch (model IW359002) he gave me. This watch can not only display the time, but also has a full calendar function of moon phase, day of the week, date and month. My father said that people should not just look at the present, but also know how to plan for the future, and time is the most important resource in our lives. Once you master the logic of time, you can master the rhythm of life.
Sometimes I think that the watch represents my father’s love, which is obvious, but it is more like a bond through which the emotions between my father and me are transmitted and echoed.
When it comes to the Engineer Series Automatic Watch 42 (model IW338903), this watch is more like a true portrayal of my father’s character. This is a watch that emphasizes precision and endurance. It will only enter the market after rigorous testing and evaluation. This process often takes a long time, but my father always waits patiently. He believes that time will not let down those who persist in their efforts. It is this kind of persistence that allows my father to make continuous breakthroughs at work and climb up in his career.
And I gradually learned to use the time logic in the table to guess the problem. In life, I have also become more calm and no longer as eager for success as before.
There is also a Portuguese series chronograph watch (model IW371625), which is a silent expression of my father’s love for me. This is a functional watch with all functions including timing, speed measurement and date. But my father said that the more numbers on the dial, the more it can be seen that the designer respects time, and the more it can be seen that the wearer values time. Because many times, simplicity is the most luxurious thing. Complex information will only make people lose their way, but it is not conducive to controlling time.
From these watches, I not only see the shadow of my father, but also the emotions transmitted and reverberated between us.
Conclusion
After reading this article, I deeply realized that my father’s influence on us lies not only in his words and deeds, but also in the philosophy contained in every watch he chooses for us. Every watch is his understanding of time and life, and this understanding also takes root in our hearts.
