The story that follows is mostly an account of WOW Thailand Editor Ruckdee Chotjinda?s hankering for a square watch, and WOW Singapore Editor Ashok Soman?s consistent evangelising for form watches. In this edition, we opted to present this account as a back-and-forth but it is Ruckdee?s story through-and-through. While Ruckdee finally found his square roots, Ashok has yet to embrace his; his contribution here is ruefully theoretical. Ruckdee Chotjinda
I was very close to owning the Jaeger-LeCoultre Squadra Hometime but then a few hiccups got in the way. First, the stock piece at the authorised dealer had cosmetic damage; then, the replacement ordered had a wobbly crown stem and had to be returned.

It was gone ? just like that, depriving me of the joy of ownership.
