As midnight strikes and our calendars advance, I find myself reflecting on what watchmaking has taught me about time—that it's both our most finite resource and our most renewable. Every January 1st, perpetual calendars advance, taking leap years into account, and all our watches with a date function advance effortlessly, just to be reminded that horology measures not just minutes but moments. Never forget that this moment is your life and that watches collect memories as we wear them.
To our readers who've shared this journey through 2025—examining movements, debating watch design, and celebrating craftsmanship—thank you. Your passion for these mechanical marvels continues to inspire every word we publish.
Here's to 2026: may your mainsprings stay wound, your complications run true, and your wrists carry timepieces that bring you joy with every glance.
Happy New Year from WatchCollectingLifestyle.
