Oris is a Swiss Watch maker, punches way above its weight. Had one, sold it, wish I didn’t (I’m an accumulator of Swiss watches).

Any Patek Philippe ?? I used to collect {and repair} vintage pocket watches at flea markets and pawn shops. Mostly Railroad watches...They were the accuracy standard of their day, but when the "el Cheapo" quartz watches/clocks came on the market, even the best of those watches could not match quartz accuracy and I disposed of my collection...I still have lots of Marine and other clocks tho.

Way beyond what I am willing to spend! I like value watches like the Oris! Also, vintage RR pocket watches.

I have a Minerva stop watch, bought it about 30 years ago, so it's not very vintage, but I like to fidget with it and open it up to look at the mechanism. I have a few old art deco watches that I like, but these days wear an Apple iWatch as I use it for swimming, driving, et al...I'm like a combination of Dick Tracey and Maxwell smart on the road...LOL It will go to my son when I pass...

Geometry was the most critical/useful mathematics class I had, and it didn't even teach me mathematics.

Mainly wear a Hamilton mechanical- something just right starting the day with winding your watch. Nice throw back to simpler times!
