Have always had a need to know the time at any given hour. Even as a kid. Dabbled with a few didn't know much about watches until I took apart a Movado watch and made it work again. Kaboom I was hooked. Now I have all sorts of watches, quartz, automatic, diver, sport, dress, chrono, love it! It's addicting though 25 and still going
Q: What was the first watch you ever owned?
Pulsar 1977.... To me it was space, age, technical and fancy. Never did figure out how to make it work properly. Very gadgety
Q: Do you have a watch with a particularly interesting story behind it?
Citizen AT-9010 World Time. My wife has never been overly creative with Gifts, but one Christmas 2016 a watch sales person convinced her I would like this citizen AT. He was absolutely right. I got the bug right then in there I will never sell this watch even though the wife is gone. The watch will stay forever
Q: What is one piece of advice you have for someone just getting into watches?

Islander, Longines, Tudor, Citizen, Spinnaker. I love the creativity of micro brands, they just seem to try harder
