One of my most persistent traits over the years has been, if I happen to find something interesting, to do an extremely deep dive into the history of that subject, and especially the technical history. In watches, fortunately, there is an almost infinite range of things to dig into, including the evolution of watches and clocks as precision timekeepers, the craft aspects of watchmaking (in which I'd include the hand finishing of movements, as well as more traditional forms of component manufacturing) the decorative arts as they apply to watches, and on and on. However, I often wonder if in approaching watches and watchmaking on such a granular level, I've lost touch a bit with the part of watches and watchmaking that actually sustains the community of watch enthusiasts.
The subject for me has become perhaps a bit too serious an enterprise for my own good (to say nothing of the good of what I write) and I think for 2020, my resolution is going to be to try and have a bit more fun with the whole thing (albeit "trying" to have fun is not necessarily a recipe for success). It's wonderful to have a passion become a profession but I've been doing this for 20-plus years, and it increasingly becomes clear to me that keeping the passion for the subject alive requires keeping the profession in perspective as well.
