“The secret of change is to focus all your energy not on fighting the old, but on building the new” – Socrates
There are many ways to view challenges that come before us. The secret to overcoming and rising above any obstacle lives solely in our personal conviction and focus to make that change a reality.
If you really want something, you have to silence the doubts, the distractions, the fears and the drag your feet, “why me, I don’t wanna, it’s too hard” rhetoric that we chant when something looms impossible in front us. Let’s face it. We can always come up with a fine excuse. Not today, it’s too cold, too hot, too rainy, too windy. My mind is too cluttered today, I’m sad, I’m tired, I’m overwhelmed, I’m angry.
We have to
Take one step in another direction. I see where I wish to go, but I cannot find the road, where is the path to get there? It’s all just too much. So don’t look at every detail…pick one, conquer it. What can I change right now, what small thing?
When you see it, grab it, make it happen and make it stick, then pick another and don’t look back.
Soon you will own the path, and you will love your journey.
Love, Sue
The result is Sherpa, a small company based in Meerbusch, Germany, that plans to produce a number of watches inspired by the glory days of Enicar tool watches in the Sherpa link series. Building link around Klocke's mechanical engineering background, the company's first watch link is a fresh take on the Enicar Sherpa Ultra Dive watch.
And just because, why not, Chanel assembled a unique boxed set of 12 matte black ceramic one-of-a-kind, single-color J12 link Electros with each link shade numbered a different "cut" like a DJ's playlist. Each steel fixed bezel with black ADLC treatment is set with 46 link baguette-cut monochrome sapphires – just choose the shade that meets your mood each day.
The Braun BN0279 Center Seconds and Braun BN0279 Sub-Seconds Limited Editions For Hodinkee are available now in the Hodinkee Shop for $950, while supplies link last. Each watch comes with complimentary domestic and discounted worldwide shipping. Combining link a Swiss mechanical movement and a distinctive bead-blasted case with classic Braun wristwatch elements, we pay honor to one of the design world's most revered brands with a few Hodinkee link flourishes.
James has a history with AP, as a one-time ambassador for the brand with limited editions in his name. Nowadays, he's a link watch free agent, able to wear everything from link a coral dial Rolex OP to – well – this. And this is the kind of watch you wear when you break the NBA scoring record link and plan to shatter it in the future.
The only downside I can see to a world-time watch as a travel companion is that it's not quite as instantly link legible, in terms of reading off home and local time link specifically, as a "flyer" GMT watch. However, what you lose in clarity, as is so often the case, you gain back in link baroque old-world charm.
