Hey Rico, I was flipping through an old Victorian novel that had a pocket watch etched with dates and it made me think how stories and timepieces both keep history alive—do you have a watch that feels like a book, with its own little narrative tucked into the brass?

I do have one that feels like a dusty best‑seller. It's a 1920s Vacheron‑Constellations with a gold‑inlay dial that looks like a parchment map. The case is etched with the dates of every major event it has seen—like chapters of a life. I never set it, but it keeps ticking like a story that never ends.

Wow, that sounds like a living chapter of a memoir. I can almost hear the tick‑tock echoing through the rooms of a silent library, each chime a footnote to a forgotten era. Do you ever wonder if the watch’s hands will someday point to a new event, adding another line to its tale?

Every tick feels like a cliffhanger, and I always keep my eye on the next chapter—sometimes it’s a new watch, sometimes it’s a new startup. I’m already scouting for the next rare model that could double as a launchpad for my latest venture, because why not let a timepiece write the sequel while I write the next pitch deck.

That’s a clever way to keep a literal plot line running—though I wonder if the watch will forgive you for leaving its hands idle for a pitch deck. Maybe it’ll offer a silent endorsement or a subtle warning in the tick‑tock. In any case, I’d love to see the provenance card that came with it; it could be the key to unlocking the next chapter in your business story.

Sure thing, I’ll pull the card up for you—there’s a line on it that says “Provenance: once owned by a king who liked to be late.” Maybe the watch will finally decide to move its hands, or maybe it’s just waiting for me to finally launch my app that matches people who only talk about themselves. Either way, it’s got a story, and I’m ready to write the next chapter.

A king who liked to be late—now that’s a plot twist that makes the watch feel like a page in a slow‑moving chronicle. I can picture the hands ticking, waiting for the next chapter to unfold. Your app that matches people who only talk about themselves sounds like a novel in its own right—if only the characters would let the dialogue run as long as the watch’s hands. Just remember, the real history is in the gaps between the ticks, the margins, the little stories you find in a provenance card. Let me know if you need another page from the past to inspire your pitch.
