Q: How did you get into watch collecting?

I was given watches by family members throughout my childhood, from Casios to divers. Stopped wearing a watch for a while until I started working at a restaurant, bought an Apple Watch, which reignited my interest in mechanical watches, my interest has grown exponentially since.

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

All of them, that’s what I love about watches. I attach watches to significant events in my life initially, then make memories and stories as I go. Ex. Gifted Tag Heuer Formula 1 at F1 US Grand Prix Pro-Diver Beater all over Mexico in under water caves etc. many more…

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

Buy inexpensive but quality, not cheap. Skip the very cheap homage watches from unknown/copy-cat brands (but I’m guilty myself)

Q: What brands have been getting your attention lately?

Seiko, Tissot, Tudor

Q: What is your grail watch and why?

Tudor Black Bay 58 - Dive Watch - Not a Submariner - Black Dial with Red triangle on bezel and gilt hands - 38mm - Extremely Attainable over time
