    a friend of ours has a vintage cartier that is impeccable.

    wow. I am just starting to learn about them. One of my good friends, it turns out, is a watch geek.

    I can see how that can happen.

    One of Jon’s and my only-half-in-jest speculations poses the dilemma we’ll face on that rapidly approaching day when we are just this side of destitute. Which will we sell — the ‘Z’ or the beautiful mid-century Vacheron Constantin he inherited?

    (If you’re in Chicago and want to look at beautiful and interesting ‘previously owned’ watches and talk timepieces with knowledgeable folks, stop by a place called Father Time. It’s on Belmont near Damen.)

    sheila not the Vacheron Constantin, don’t sell that.
    I’m not sure what a ‘z’ is in any case

    Oh, Alek, do not fear. The Vacheron will not be sold. Nor the Z — which is a Nissan 350Z and in whose cramped quarters we will probably live even after we can no longer afford to buy gas. But at least we’ll know what time it is. And we’ll still have Beauty in our lives.
