time unfolds

another green world

 

 

there is a time that lies

between the passage of spring blossom

and the spurting eruption of summer bloom

 

 

 

 

 

 

in reach

 

 

in reach

 

we hold close

 

while time 

 

passes

 

clocked

night and day

time

tick tocks away

simple pleasures no. 7 - the ticking watch

The gentle tick of of a mechanical watch is a thing of beauty. It will never ever be matched by its electronic equivalent.  

This is one of my mechanical watches and it comes with history. Open the back cover and you will find this inscribed inside...

'The Daimler Co. Ltd for twenty five years loyal and faithful service. 1913 - 1938. T.C. Gandy.'

I wonder who T.C. Gandy was.  What job did he discharge so faithfully for a quarter of a century to earn this watch? What other simple pleasures brought joy to his life? I search in vain for answers.
