100 words | winding time

I recently acquired a watch with a plastic crystal and a movement that requires me to wind the crown every morning to get it to run. Now, three weeks in, it’s got to be one of the weirdest experiences I’ve had in quite some time. The quiet, soothing click is something I’m growing accustom to hearing in the morning. Despite this decidedly low-tech powering method, a reminder of the timepieces from decades ago, there’s something intriguingly satisfying about methodically winding the crown every morning. Of course, it’s been less than a month…we’ll see if it’s still similarly enjoyable next year. =)
