A Celebration of Friendship

There is just this thing about watches. As an inanimate object with the sole purpose of telling the passing of time, many of us actually use it consciously or subconsciously as a tool to freeze time; a moment in time that is worth capturing, a celebration of an event that is worth celebrating. It is often put to fulfill the purpose that a photo alone is inadequate. 

I know of 3 ladies, colleagues and ex-colleagues of mine, who share sisterly love that touches the heart. They used to be in the same working team many years back, but due to job movement, personal pursues and changing circumstances, all went on separate ways. 1 of them left the company, and 1 of them got married and settled in another country. Though distance separates them, it did not deter them from constantly keeping in touch (as in physically in touch, and not electronically) with each others' life. Be it for joy or grief, laughter or despair, they have always avail themselves for each other and their families. I couldn't and wouldn't be able to give detailed encounter of what goes behind their friendship, but from those occasional Facebook post I've seen, I can definitely tell that they have been though thick and thin, and their ties run beyond skin deep.

I believe it was 1 of their birthdays recently, one of them must have suggested a memento to capture the essence of their bonding.

What could be better than 3 identical watches? A perfect color combination that signifies their time through the wilderness and found friendship in gold.
