Mickey Mouse watch
Q: Do you have a watch with a particularly interesting story behind it?
The Longines Spirit Zulu Time GMT 42mm was announced 1 day before my 40th birthday. i was so happy that I waited to pull the trigger on the perfect mechanical traveller GMT, which was my Grail. My son was born this year and on my wrist when he was born and when I first held him was this watch. I will hand this Longines heirloom down to him and engrave our initials on the back when he is old enough.
