Another question people ask me, and which I sometimes ask myself, is, "How on earth is it possible to spend your life, day in and out, writing about watches? Don't you find the subject too narrow, too irrelevant to the deeper problems of life and the
link fundamental
link nature of human character? Why don't you write about culture, or science, or history,
link or art? Or cars, which are so much, well, bigger? What kind of job is this for an alleged grown-up? What the hell's wrong with you?"
