Thread: Objects/ Items that changed you life

Hi guys,

I thought I'll start a thread on list of objects/ items that changed the way we lead our life or our perspective on things and how it affect us.

I'll start first:

1. Macbook/ osX: I first started using a macbook in 2007 and since then I can't imagine myself using another PC/ Window based PC again nor do I want to. Even using mouse as opposed to using macbook trackpad feels awkward nowadays!

2. Mechanical watch: First introduced to a mechanical watch by my brother a couple of years back and haven't look back since. The ritual of winding the watch, looking at the sweeping sec hand and the ticking of the movement gives a certain assurance. I wouldn't have it any other way nowadays.

3. Fountain pen: When my wife gave me a Montblanc fountain pen for my birthday, it's a daily object that I carry and I never use another type of pen since. I keep losing and misplaced my pen almost every other day before, but haven't had that problem since then too.

4. Ray Ban & Persol sunglasses: Ray Ban is my first sunglasses and I also have 714 Persol. There's something about the glass lens which in my opinion have a higher quality compared the the plastic lens...

5. Straight shaver/ shaving soap: I only started shaving with straight razor and shaving soap for about a month and half, but I don't think I'm gonna go back to disposable razors and canned shaving cream ever!

Please share objects that affect the way you lead your life. I would love to hear it.

Cheers
