I just put this burgundy Hirsch strap on my 1982 Omega Seamaster Quartz that I inherited from my late grandfather. Really dressed the watch up from the gold colored bracelet that it was on, but it also reminded me of a pen that I have. The color matching is too perfect!

I was into collecting fountain pens prior to getting into watches and this Pilot Custom 74 was my first gold nib pen. Anybody else have a good watch-pen pair?

I love obsolete-yet-timeless technologies

Ok I’m back, just went on a 4 hour rabbit hole journey into the world of left handed fountain pens. 😂
