Longest-Kept Items, Still With Me

Three things that have been in my posession for the longest time and that are still with me.

  1. Cellphone

Philips E210

It previously belonged to my best friend, but I can’t remember how I ended up with it. I sometimes use to use it as a backup phone, and it still works perfectly — the battery lasts for a week! It’s made in 2009 and I think I’ve had it since around 2011.

  1. Chronometer

AGAT Soviet chronometer

AGAT sports chronometer, made in the USSR between 1970-1990. I inherited it from my grandad before he passed away in 2010. It’s the only material object I have left from him, so it’s very valuable to me.

  1. Multitool

Leatherman Blast

I bought this multitool around 2009. For 17 years I’ve been carrying it around and it has helped me a lot many times. It survived moving four countries with me, and I hope it will survive anything else. It could even be the only item that’s all that’s left of me.
