#Vintage Quartz Watch Collection

[joehaupt]

Zenith Men's TimeCommand Wrist Watch, Quartz Movement, Analog Time With LED Digital Display, Swiss-Made, Circa 1976 by Joe Haupt Via Flickr: In 1971, Zenith Radio Corporation acquired a majority interest in the Movado-Zenith-Mondia Holding Company of Switzerland. The Swiss Zenith watch company was founded in 1865. Prior to the acquisition, Zenith watches had won many prizes for their precision and quality in the Swiss watch industry. Movado was established in 1881, and the company was well-known in the United States in 1971 as a prestige line of fine watches. Founded in 1905, the Mondia company made a line of watches in the moderate priced field. Zenith Radio Corporation's foray into watchmaking was short-lived. In 1978, the company exited the field when they sold off their money-losing Swiss watchmaking subsidiary. It is interesting to note that watchmaker Charles Vermot is honored on the current Zenith SA watch company's website. In 1975, according to the Zenith website, he hid the plans, parts, and tools required to make mechanical movements in order to save them from destruction. This was following the decision of the company that owned Zenith at the time (the not to be named Zenith Radio Corporation) to limit production to quartz watches only.

dragon's hoard ship: natsu dragneel x lucy heartfilia summary: Natsu's got a weird new habit that Lucy can't quite seem to wrap her head around. She supposes that's just par for the course when it comes to having a dragon as a best friend. ao3

Nalu Week Day 5: Gifts

The sound of excited footsteps that had long become familiar to Lucy came exactly when she had expected them to.

She was sitting comfortably on the couch, indulging herself in a new novel, when Natsu came bursting into her home. He had the decency to use the door but not the decency to knock, though Lucy supposed she would take the wins wherever she could get them.

"How was the job?" She asked, shutting her book before placing it down on the coffee table in front of her and giving him her undivided attention upon his arrival.

"It was kind of lame," Natsu shrugged in response as he tossed his pack to the floor and flopped down onto the couch next to her. "It’s boring without you around."

About two months prior, Lucy had been offered a massive book deal for a sequel to The Adventure of Iris, which in turn had her stuck at home a lot as she worked on her manuscript. The contract sufficiently paid her rent, which meant she had no real need to take on new jobs, but that didn’t mean she didn’t miss it. Though perhaps no one missed her taking jobs more than her partner, who had been forced to go out on his own.

"I know," she smiled, holding back a laugh at his borderline pouty expression that always crossed his face when he expressed his discontent with having to take jobs without her. "Once I’m done with my manuscript, we can take on as many jobs as you like."

"Promise?"

"Promise."

His expression seemed to relax at her words, seemingly tided over by the prospect of going on adventures with her again once she was free of her obligations as an author.

"I actually got you something while I was gone," he added, before the conversation could stray too far.

Leaning over the side of the couch, he began to rummage through his pack, and all Lucy could do was sit and watch, caught slightly off guard.

This was a new Natsu behaviour that she had noticed popping up more and more frequently. Ever since he had been forced to go on jobs without Lucy, he had begun bringing back souvenirs and trinkets for her.

This wasn’t the first time he had gone solo on jobs, and it certainly wouldn’t be the last, but this whole gift thing was something he had never done until recently. At first it was once every other job, then it was every single job, and now it had extended to outside of him taking jobs too.

It had started with small things—cool-shaped rocks and shells that he had foraged while he was out—but then it had turned into things of increasing traditional value, like vintage books he had found at a second-hand market and shiny pieces of jewellery that he claimed had caught his eye.

She had kept everything that he had given her over the past few months, amassing a collection of things, trinkets, and knick-knacks around her apartment. Most of them she displayed wherever she had the space, and it almost seemed as if Natsu beamed with pride every time he caught a glimpse of his new gift decorating her bookshelf.

"What is it?" She asked, peering over his shoulder to try to catch a peek at what he was bringing out for her.

When he finally turned back around, in his hand he held out to her a piece of polished rose quartz. It had been a while since he had gifted her a stone or rock of some sort, but this was the first time he had given her a gem of any kind.

She took it into her own hand and examined it carefully, running her thumb over the smooth surface. It was a soft pink with ribbons of white running through it. The overhead lights reflected off of the shiny surface, accentuating the natural gradients in the colour of the stone.

"This is really pretty," she mused before looking back up at Natsu, who seemed to be eagerly awaiting her reaction. "Thank you."

He seemed to light up knowing that she had liked his gift, and her heart jumped a little at just how cute he looked as he did.

"Where did you get this?" She asked, her curiosity piqued at where Natsu would find something like that.

"I bought it from this guy sellin’ rocks at a market," he shrugged, thinking it wasn't much of a big deal.

A twinge of guilt hit her as she thought about the fact that Natsu had spent money on her. Sure, maybe this wasn’t something of significant monetary value, but she worried that over time, all of these gifts would build up and cause a dent in his savings.

"Natsu, you don’t have to keep getting me things," she gently told him, placing the rock down on her coffee table and turning her attention back up to him.

Based on the way Natsu frowned at her words, it seemed that he didn’t share her worries.

"But I want to," he replied. "Do you not like them?"

"Of course I like them," Lucy assured. "But I don’t need them. Your friendship is enough for me."

"I want to give them to you," he repeated, and Lucy was caught off guard by how defensive he sounded this time.

She hadn’t thought that it would hurt his feelings; she had simply wanted to give him an out if he had somehow thought himself obligated to bring her these gifts.

"I’m sorry," she murmured, resting her hand on his thigh to try to comfort him. "I didn’t mean to upset you."

He sucked in a breath to try and cool himself down before mumbling a soft apology.

"Sorry… I just… saw it and thought of you."

Lucy didn’t have it in her to be upset with him. He had gone out of his way to do something kind for her, so she understood why he got a little defensive.

It wasn’t that she didn’t appreciate them; she was simply used to receiving extravagant gifts as a means to win over her father’s favour when she was a child. Suddenly being showered with gifts by Natsu was just unexpected. She knew he had no sinister ulterior motive, so if this was what he wanted, she would let him.

She wrapped her arms around his shoulders, pulling him into a hug and nuzzling her face into the crook of his neck. He stiffened up for a moment before he realised what she was doing and relaxed into her touch, holding her close.

"Thank you, Natsu," she hummed against his skin. "I really appreciate it."

As much as she appreciated Natsu’s little gifts, she was beginning to run out of space to display them neatly on her shelves. Her new stone had been placed on her vanity next to her jewellery box for the past week as she tried to figure out how she was going to organise her little collection.

Several times she had glanced over at it and assumed that she had left a piece out, only to realise that it was just Natsu’s gift. Having it sat and displayed next to her few necklaces dangling from her display rack struck her with the idea of turning it into one too.

On her next trip into town, she took the stone to a jeweller to have it attached to a chain.

It was a little pricey, especially considering how infrequently she wore necklaces, but it was a sentimental gift, and she considered the cost to be worth it.

She had it attached to a thin gold chain with a gold fastening on top. It was simple and elegant, and let the stone act as the statement.

The piece was an immediate attention-grabber when she wore it out to meet her teammates at the station for their next job.

She had arrived early but could somehow never beat Erza or Wendy in that regard, who were both already waiting for her and the rest of the team to show up.

After an exchange of polite greetings, Erza’s attention was grabbed by her new piece of jewellery, her gaze flicking down to examine it.

"I like your necklace," she mused. "You don’t normally wear jewellery. Is this new?"

Lucy looked down at it, taking the stone in her hands and running it idly across the chain.

"Yeah, just the other day," she replied.

"Where did you get it from?" Wendy chimed in, also seemingly drawn in by Lucy’s new piece.

"Natsu actually got the stone for me," Lucy explained. "I got it turned into a necklace because I thought it looked nice."

Wendy blinked and recoiled the slightest bit, looking taken off guard by her answer, which raised suspicions in Lucy’s mind.

"Is everything okay, Wendy?" She asked in concern for her friend.

"Yeah! It’s just, I didn’t know that he-" She cut herself off as if she had been about to say something she shouldn’t have. "I mean, I think that’s really sweet of him."

Lucy raised her eyebrows, surprised by her strange and disjointed answer. She almost wished she could see inside her brain and know what she was thinking to explain her behaviour, but before she could interrogate further, she was interrupted by the arrival of their final teammates.

"Hey!" Natsu called out from behind them, drawing their attention to the two boys approaching.

Lucy waved as Erza beckoned them to approach faster, but anything she might have wanted to say to them as they arrived was immediately cut off when Natsu’s attention was drawn to her new accessory.

Without saying anything, he took the pendant in his hand and examined it, almost as if he were just making sure that it was his stone.

"You made it into a necklace?" He asked, dropping the pendant and letting it fall back on her chest, sounding almost breathless as he spoke.

"Yeah," Lucy affirmed, bringing her own hand up to fiddle with the necklace. "It was important to me, and I didn’t want to lose it."

Natsu practically lit up at her words, grinning from ear to ear before he pulled her into an unexpected and crushing hug.

"That’s awesome!" He whooped, drawing several confused stares in their direction.

She had known he’d probably think it was cool, but she hadn’t expected quite this reaction. Natsu was easily excitable, but even this was a bit much. She decided not to comment on it and simply return his affection.

All the gifts and excitement were a little endearing, she had decided. Natsu had always been an odd sort of guy, showing his affection for those he loved in strange ways. She simply decided that she was going to take this in stride.

It had seemed that taking it in stride only encouraged Natsu’s unusual behaviour.

Lucy hadn’t thought it had been possible for him to give her more things, but his gift-giving increased in its frequency, seeming like he was trying to one-up himself with each trinket and tchotchke.

She didn’t have the heart to tell him that she physically didn’t have any more room to store his gifts, lest her apartment begin to turn into a hoarder’s house, resembling his own. Every time he brought her something, his eyes would light up when she smiled and thanked him, and it made her heart melt.

She supposed there were worse problems to have than a dragon’s hoard sitting in a shoebox beneath her bed.

The mug of tea Mira slid over to her warmed Lucy’s hands as she sat across from Levy, both idly flicking through their books as they chattered away about their goings-on.

"So what’s been going on with you lately?" Levy hummed before taking a sip of her own drink.

Lucy paused for a moment as she thought of how she should respond. She could make idle conversation, tell her not much, and let their talks remain surface level and light-hearted, but right now, she had more… pressing matters on her mind.

"I’ve been having a sort of… weird problem," she sighed, unsure of how to accurately describe her predicament.

Levy tilted her head slightly in curiosity, a silent plea for her to continue.

"Natsu keeps giving me all these things that I don’t know what to do with," she began to explain. "I tried to tell him he doesn’t need to get me all of these things, but then he got all defensive. Now I’m literally running out of space to put them, but I just can’t seem to say no to him because he looks so excited. I don’t know what to do, Levy."

Levy brought up a hand to stifle the laugh that she was about to let out, and Lucy raised her brows, caught off guard by her strange reaction.

"What?" She pouted, clearly not having received the response she wanted.

"It’s nothing; it’s just-"

Levy took a moment to compose herself, sending Lucy a soft but somehow sympathetic smile that she wasn’t exactly sure what to make of.

"That’s really cute and sweet of him, but I’m not sure I can help you out with this one," she gently replied. "I think this is one you’ll have to figure out on your own."

Lucy let out a defeated huff, wanting to rebut but knowing it was no use.

It wasn’t like she wanted him to stop; she was just confused and overwhelmed by it all. If this went on for much longer, she wasn’t sure she’d be able to keep up.

Just as she was about to beg Levy for the teeniest, tiniest ounce of advice, a drop of a clue, a tiny morsel of what she would do in this situation, she was cut off by a gruff voice approaching.

"The bunny girl’s got dragon problems, eh?" Gajeel butted in as he dropped himself on the chair next to Levy, tossing an arm over her shoulder. "Didn’t know Salamander ‘new how ta court a woman," he added, taking a moment to laugh at his own joke.

"Gajeel," Levy warned in a low tone, trying to keep quiet in hopes that Lucy wouldn’t hear, but the action wasn’t exactly subtle.

"What?" He replied, his attention fully on Levy as she looked up at him with an attempt at an intimidating pout. "I’m just sayin’ that the bastard’s finally figured out-"

Whatever he was about to say was quickly interrupted by an elbow jab to the side, clearly trying to get him to stop talking.

"Ow- the fuck was that for?

"You have to let him do it himself," Levy hissed back, trying to remain subtle as she did so.

They spoke openly, right in front of her, as though she weren’t there, and even though they had tried to conceal themselves, Lucy could still very much follow along with their conversation.

"What do you mean by that?" Lucy asked, interrupting their little lover’s quarrel.

Levy whipped her head back around to face her friend, apparently having forgotten about her presence since Gajeel’s arrival.

"It’s nothing!" Levy smiled, sweeping their exchange under the rug.

"I want to know what he meant by that," Lucy repeated.

Perhaps even stranger than Natsu’s behaviour had been the unusual reactions she received when she spoke about it. First was Wendy; now Levy and Gajeel were somehow in on it.

Was this just some weird dragon-slayer thing she didn’t know about?

She looked over to Gajeel, expecting him to elaborate, but based on the way he seemed to shrink under Levy’s gaze, she wasn’t about to have much success there.

"I can’t tell ya," he grumbled.

Figuring she wasn’t going to be able to crack him, Lucy turned her attention back to her best friend.

"Levy, please," she whined. "I’m at my wits end; I feel like I’m the only one out of the loop here."

"I’m sorry Lucy, I-"

Lucy interrupted her as she reached across the table to take her hands in her own as she pleaded with her.

"Please, Levy," she tried again. "I’ll pay off all your late fees at the library for a month if you just tell me," she offered in a desperate plea.

She could see her resolve wavering in her eyes, but she still held her ground, much to Lucy’s dismay.

"It wouldn’t be fair to Natsu if I told you," Levy replied sympathetically. "He has to do it himself."

"Do what himself?" Lucy asked, frustration seeping from her voice.

"Clearly he’s not doin’ a fuckin’ good job if bunny girl’s here beggin’ you to help ‘er figure it out," Gajeel added, looking thoroughly unimpressed by the whole scenario.

For a moment, Lucy thought Levy was about to cave, but she maintained her silence.

In a last-ditch effort, Lucy tried to muster up her best pleading eyes, and it seemed like that was the last thing needed to tip Levy over the edge.

"It’s a dragon thing," she vaguely explained.

Lucy bolted back upright at this new sliver of information.

So, her hunch had been correct, but that still didn’t explain why everyone was acting so weird about it.

Realising that Lucy probably wouldn’t be satisfied with just that information, Levy continued.

"He’s trying to court you."

Lucy remained silent for a moment as she tried to process what she had just heard.

Court her?

As in to woo? To romance?

There was no way.

All this time, she had put it down to Natsu just showing his affection, but she hadn’t realised it had been that type of affection.

With this new piece of information, things started to fall into place. He was literally helping her create her own dragon hoard.

Suddenly it made so much more sense when he got so defensive about it—because he thought she was rejecting him.

After a few moments of silence and realising that Lucy wasn’t going to reply any time soon, Levy spoke up.

"Lulu?" Her voice came, soft and gentle. "Do you need some time alone to think about it?"

Lucy simply shook her head.

"No," she replied. "I think I know what I’m going to do."

Gathering up her things, Lucy stood up and tossed her bag over her shoulder before pausing and looking down at Levy.

"You don’t mind if I cut our lunch short, do you?"

With a smile, Levy shook her head.

"Go ahead."

With her blessing, Lucy ran out the door, waving to her friend in thanks as she ran to exactly where she knew Natsu would be.

When Lucy arrived back at her apartment, the lights were unsurprisingly on, and a suspiciously dragon-slayer-sized lump had formed in her bed.

"Natsu," she called out, causing the lump of blankets to stir. "I’m back."

Upon hearing of her return, Natsu instantly awoke and tossed the blankets off of him, sitting upright and beaming at her, and for a moment, Lucy almost wondered if this was what it was like to own a puppy.

"Hey!" He greeted enthusiastically before slipping out of her bed. "I thought you were at the guild hangin’ out with Levy."

"I was," she hummed. "But I just thought I’d come home a little early this afternoon."

"That’s good, ‘cause I actually got ya something!"

He rummaged around in his pocket before he pulled something out and opened his hand to reveal it to her.

"Me ‘n’ Happy went fishing, and I found this cool-shaped rock for you!" He exclaimed, the familiar grin making itself present on his face.

Her expression softened as she took it from him, running her thumb across the surface, feeling each bump and crack against her skin.

"Hey, Natsu?" She began softly, feeling like there was no time more appropriate than now to bring it up. "Can I ask you something?"

"Yeah, course," he replied, his brows furrowing slightly in concern. "What’s up?"

"Are you trying to court me?" She blurted out, not putting too much thought into how she was going to get her message across.

He responded with a blank stare.

"What does that mean?" He asked.

"Like, trying to romance me," Lucy tried to explain, not exactly being her most eloquent self in doing so.

Natsu stayed quiet for a moment as he tried to mentally articulate a response.

"Is it working?"

She hadn’t known how he was going to respond, but she hadn’t been expecting him to do so like that.

There was a hopeful expression on his face, and if it hadn’t worked before then, it certainly had now.

Feeling an overwhelming sense of endearment, Lucy rolled her eyes slightly but didn’t reply. Instead, she placed her rock down on her mattress and brought her hands up to caress his cheeks before pulling him in to feel his lips against hers.
