Before I had studied Zen for thirty years, I saw mountains as mountains, and waters as waters. When I arrived at a more intimate knowledge, I came to the point where I saw that mountains are not mountains, and waters are not waters. But now that I have got its very substance I am at rest. For it's just that I see mountains once again as mountains, and waters once again as waters. 13
13 Ch'uan Teng Lu , 22. (The Way of Zen 126)
In this case, the mountains and waters are the watches
It is a process of self discovering, it resets everything and put all things in perspective.
Try seeing this more than a watch
H9 may be a watch again, but one that has truly mastered Zen......3 handed , n tourbillons, a simple elegant piece?
