The wristwatch is, in its essence, a tool. Not only a tool, but the tool for some of the most important and fascinating jobs, trades, explorations, military heroism, and feats of human achievement of the past century.

It is difficult to know what constitutes a tool watch today, since the myriad of roles that once demanded a watch have been replaced by other technologies. Though everything which is new is forgotten old.

This blog — which I am calling a project — has the express aim of discovering what a tool watch is.

Because to venerate watches is to venerate the tool watch. And to venerate the tool watch is to venerate the extraordinary people who used them.
