After all the references to "movements", I'll never look at the back of a watch quite the same again.

Horological polygamy (or polyandry, according to your proclivities) - The culture of cohabitation with a range of wrist-borne timepieces; a relatively new phenomenon for many people.

Seraglio - The box or other storage facility used for members of the polygamous or polyandrous family (q.v.) when not required for duty.

Honeymoon - The period following the introduction of a new member to the seraglio (q.v.), usually at least a week in my experience, when you cannot bear to be parted from it.

Document Check - coincident with Honeymoon (q.v.), the period when other members of the seraglio begin to glance nervously at their passports, boxes and papers, to see that everything is in order for a possible departure.

All the above quite accurately describes current goings-on at AVO Towers!
