A pocket watch laying on a scarred wooden table, it's back open, revealing a beautiful Elgin movement.

   I had a moment like this years ago. My grandfather passed and left me a pocket watch from 1912. Inspecting it, I realized nothing I had done or would do in tech would last as long as this watch. It's still ticking.

   Not well, mind you. It needs some repairs and I was quoted $400. But it's still a beautiful timepiece. With a few new parts, it could still outlast all I do. 1/2
