The memory that I would like to share with you is when I intended to buy a present for my mother’s birthday. I wanted to buy a meaningful and practical present for her and as I know that I don’t know that her latest watch didn’t function properly and she always had trouble in working with it. It seemed to me to buy a beautiful feminine wristwatch would be a suitable choice. As I become familiar with a characteristic of my mother and she is a kind of selective person I spent two weeks entirely searching for different brands of wristwatch that are available in Iran and in the middle of my searching I encountered with one of my old friends and that is doing business in the field of clock and accessories. He helped me a lot in finding a suitable model and brand. Eventually I managed to get a suitable one and bring it up to my mother’s birthday and my mother’s get delighted and happy a lot after using it.
