My wife and I were just at The Melting Pot, and of course you need a chronograph to time your meats. The watch isn't the view, My wife is. We work from home a lot, and don't go out without our kid too often. And even less often do we get dressed up to go out. I think the last time we did may have been to see Cyndi Lauper last October. It's so nice to and give our full attention to each other and appreciate that we are still a loving couple.

But nobody cares about that. So, here's the watch. It's a Breitling Top Time, with the Breitling 01 movement. The Top Time line takes a lot of inspiration from automobile and motorbike racing. This one is the Ford Thunderbird edition. I got it on the polished stainless mesh bracelet, but it is currently on a red goat leather rally strap. It's a 41mm case, but it doesn't feel that much bigger than my Monaco, probably because that case is square and wears larger than its 39mm. You can't see in this lighting, but it has blue AR coating on its gorgeous double-dome sapphire crystal.
