    It's another thread about "It's this the real thing?"

    Hi,

    I stumbled on this, and would love to read your thoughts.







    Thank you all!
    Instructions on How to Wind a Watch

    Death stands there in the background, but don't be afraid. Hold the watch down with one hand, take the crown in two fingers, and wind it smoothly. Now another term opens, trees spread their leaves, boats run regattas, time like a fan keeps filling with itself, and from it gushes the air, the breezes of earth, the shadow of a woman, the sweet smell of bread.

    What did you expect, what more do you want? Quickly, strap it to your wrist, let it tick away in freedom, imitate it eagerly. Fear rusts the pallet forks, everything that could be reached and was forgotten keeps corroding the watch's veins, cankering the cold blood of it's rubies. And there in the background stands death if we don't run and arrive early and understand that it doesn't matter anymore.
    --Julio Cortázar

    Questionable dial for me.
