Q: How did you get into watch collecting?

I always seemed to have a watch although I never paid too much attention. I bought a celebration watch for the birth of my daughter in 2021 which I loved and that started the itch then.

Q: What was the first watch you ever owned?

The first I properly remember was an Armani exchange one which I cherished until the hour hand fell off 🤷🏻

Q: Do you have a watch with a particularly interesting story behind it?

I bought a Seiko presage cocktail time.with blue sunburst dial to celebrate my daughter's birth, it also kick-started my collecting habit so a two in one there.

Q: What is one piece of advice you have for someone just getting into watches?

Dont rush it, it's tempting to go all out and get everything you can to fill the empty watch box spaces but it's best to take your time and really enjoy your purchases.

Q: What brands have been getting your attention lately?

Charlie Paris are amazing value I think, I could also buy almost every G shock and Seiko out there at the moment.

Q: What is your grail watch and why?

Grand Seiko snowflake or Rolex Explorer I. GS for the beauty and spring drive, Rolex for it being simply legendary
