Q: How did you get into watch collecting?

Even though I always had some kind of watch on my wrist, I was never into collecting or watches in general. The most recent type watch that I rocked (for the last 5-6 years) was some sort of smart โ€œwatchโ€. I love technology and therefore I became an early adaptor of so called โ€œsmartwatchesโ€ as a โ€œtoolโ€ gadget (and I still consider them as good digital tool wrist-wearable-gadgets/watches for tasks like fitness / health / sleep tracking and some other tasks within certain digital ecosystems). Anywayโ€ฆ Around 3 month or so ago, my wife unintentionally made me realise that I came to a point in my life where I feel grown up enough to start wearing โ€œproperโ€ watches. A few weeks later I found a good starting point watch and thatโ€™s how my watch collection journey began.

Q: What was the first watch you ever owned?

Tissot Gentleman

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

Not yet.

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

Donโ€™t buy impulsively. Make a wish list of your โ€œlevel 1โ€ collection, research well, stay within the budget and get each watch from the list at the right time without deviation from the plan.

Q: What brands have been getting your attention lately?

Baltic & Longines.

Q: What is your grail watch and why?

I donโ€™t think I have one yet.
