The watch I've given mum a few years ago has gone berserk. The second hand runs nervously along and finishes one round in exactly 6 seconds, 10 times its normal speed. It's moving so fast it makes me giddy just looking at it. I won't be surprised if it has inherited my mum's state of constant anxiety after all these years in her company. Anyway, I'm going to send the watch for repair as well as accompany mum to get a new one, and she said she preferred a watch with a huge face. And I realise that even this - MY love for huge face watches - is not my own.
