Yoko Ogawa's The Housekeeper and the Professor is an enchanting story about what it means to live in the present, and about the curious equations that can create a family.
He is a brilliant math Professor with a peculiar problem--ever since a traumatic head injury, he has lived with only eighty minutes of short-term memory. She is an astute young Housekeeper--with a ten-year-old son--who is hired to care for the Professor.And every morning, as the Professor and the Housekeeper are introduced to each other anew, a strange and beautiful relationship blossoms between them. Though he cannot hold memories for long (his brain is like a tape that begins to erase itself every eighty minutes), the Professor's mind is still alive with elegant equations from the past. And the numbers, in all of their articulate order, reveal a sheltering and poetic world to both the Housekeeper and her young son. The Professor is capable of discovering connections between the simplest of quantities--like the Housekeeper's shoe size--and the universe at large, drawing their lives ever closer and more profoundly together, even as his memory slips away.

Good case
Color: Black
Great watch case. Fits all my 43mm-48mm watches. Any bigger they will run against each other. But altogether a solid purchase.

Men’s Watch Box w/24 Slot Display
Color: AllBlack, Color: AllBlack
This mens watch box looks amazing, and nicely fits 24 watches without worrying about damage to the other watches. Each slot has its own location, and not need to worry about the watches rubbing up against each other.

Nice case
Color: Dark Brown, Color: Dark Brown
Very nice case. Good presentation. Only issue is if watch is over 52mm they can make it a tight fit.

Nice Case with clear top for 24 Watches
Color: Black
This is my second watch case and I am very happy with it. I like the glass so you can view the watches from the top. This one has a flip up latch which I also like because you can reach down and open the case with one hand. The pillows are a good size, not too big so they do not stretch out your watch bands. I specifically wanted a case to hold as many watches as possible and 24 is about the biggest I could find in this configuration, meaning a box and not some kind of cabinet which I do not have room for
