Seit Kindestagen ist Johannes von Zeitmessern fasziniert und durch das Studium der Germanistik entdeckt er nun auch das Schreiben für sich. Die kompromisslose Verarbeitungsqualität sowie die historische Bedeutung machen die Rolex Sea-Dweller zu seiner Lieblingsuhr. Egal ob beim Skifahren oder Tauchen, beim Schrauben an einer alten Vespa oder im Alltag – das Modell ist sein steter Begleiter. Kleine Kratzer auf einer Uhr stehen für ihn für die vielen Momente, die er mit seinem Tagebuch am Handgelenk erleben durfte und holen ihn immer wieder in die Vergangenheit zurück.
