Ep.279 Do you remember your first wristwatch?
In this episode, inspired by my favorite watch that finally stopped working, I take a relaxed stroll through memories of the various timepieces I have owned over the years and the cuckoo clock that remains etched in my childhood memories. It is fascinating how looking at something that has stopped ticking in our daily life can bring back the time we spent alongside it.
Talking about the nostalgic memories brought back by a broken watch.
This episode focuses on a precious watch gifted to me by a close friend. Even after I moved to Australia, I continued to cherish it, faithfully replacing the batteries. I tried to get it running again, but it seems to have finally stopped for good. I reflect on the bittersweet feeling of that moment and the memories associated with that time. Looking back reminds me of the bond I share with my friend and the precious time we spent together.
Memories of the cuckoo clock that used to ring in my childhood home.
I also share memories of the cuckoo clock we used to have at home. The sound of the door opening and the "cuckoo" at the top of the hour is something many of you probably still remember vividly. The way it would chime on the half-hour, the number of calls, and the mechanism itself—thinking about it now, it feels quite fascinating. It remains deeply carved in my heart as a symbol of my childhood and the life I shared with my family.
Talking about the first wristwatch I ever wore and the stories that followed.
Furthermore, I touch upon the first watch I chose for myself and the brand I loved during my student days. I was particularly excited as a child to wear a watch featuring a famous character. I also share stories about the memorable watch I bought with my first paycheck after finding a job—timepieces that have stood by me through various milestones in life. There is much more to uncover, so please enjoy the full episode.
