quality craftsmanship lasts...
There's just something nice about looking back on a purchase and realising it was quality and the right choice. Back in 2001, I did a co-op placement at a company called JDS Uniphase. They were growing and a big part of the tech boom. The bust came and within a year of my placement, my old department no longer existed. At one point I bought shares in that company... that was not the quality that I am writing about.
The smart decision I made during that time was to buy myself a nice watch. I went to Eaton's (if I recall correctly) and bought a Roots watch. It was more money than I'd spent on watches my entire life but I really liked it. It's now on it's second battery, and third watchband, but it hasn't missed a beat. A quality bit of craftsmanship and one that I'd like to recognise and pass along. It's far too often that we complain of bad quality gear. So thank you Roots for a great watch!
