I can truthfully say that My One and Only Love jumpstarted my love affair with jazz.  The moment I heard John Coltrane's opening notes, I was entranced.  Before that, I was a casual listener to the songs that Tito Jay would play, and while I enjoyed the music, I had never been so crazy about as song as the John Coltrane rendition.  Yes, memories of yore...

Bremont

 

It seems that I just blinked and then I missed it.  There used to be a Bremont store at the Shangri-la Mall but I went there a couple of weeks ago only to be disappointed.  Nada, it's gone!  

Before the quarantine era, I was looking at a lovely piece but was hesitant because the model that I fancied did not come with a steel bracelet.  I loved the face, and while leather straps look so elegant, I perspire a lot, and these straps do have a tendency to smell when used in our hot and humid Manila weather.

At certain price points, I'm not a fan of ordering online.  A thousand things can happen!  I'll probably wait for my next opportunity to get one of these beauties.  And beauties they are, all with a story to tell.  The one shown above pays tribute to the Greenwich Observatory.  The one shown below is named after Stephen Hawking.

Lovely, lovely, lovely!  I am a geek gawking at the heavens!
