I couldn't find a good response in my brain. Sincerely I understand the need for distance from digital things. It's surprising what people like to collect. I hated watches until last month but maybe I just don't like watch snobs, my watch cost 40 pounds and is vintage from eBay, I love that it had a previous owner.
Do you have a unicorn fountain pen that you would love to own? I understand the paper part. Until I was 20 I was a classically trained artist with a degree and everything.
Purely aesthetically the Visconti Homo Sapiens Bronze Age; I haven't tried it so no idea how it writes and looks too heavy for daily use but it looks amazing; my final pen tho would be an old "wet noodle" gold nib, preferably eyedropper, maybe an Wahl Wood grain ring top, or some classic Waterman (I've always liked the model 12). If interested in the topic just take a look at gouletpens.com/ just feast your eyes and don't get near to your wallet.
I also like watches, but seems to expensive for me at the time (kinda pun, kinda intended), I like pocket watches myself, mainly because I have thin "princess like" wrists so all the big (for me) watches are out of scope, which are like 90% of men watches :D.
You want to dig into fixing them and maybe restoring them? that seems interesting too. An nowadays is hard to find watchmakers for fixes.

This is my Orient sun and moon, it's an automatic watch with a useless complication which tells you if it's day or night. No batteries all mechanical and I love it.

Totally agree with you both. Can wait to buy another Diesel watch to improve my collection. It seems like my mind is falling in love with this brand
