Q: How did you get into watch collecting?

Always been fascinated by the confluence of mechanical ingenuity and aesthetic excellence.

Q: What was the first watch you ever owned?

The first watch I can name was a Seiko Kinetic model 5M43-OC80 that my parents got me for my 16th birthday (mid-90s).

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

Not yet, but I like the idea of commemorating life events with watch purchases and/or inheriting something weird and wonderful. Watch this space, I guess...

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

Do your research, save for the watch you really want, and make sure you buy a Hamilton Field Khaki Mechanical.

Q: What brands have been getting your attention lately?

Longines, Tudor, Hamilton, Grand Seiko...

Q: What is your grail watch and why?

38mm Zenith Chronomaster in reverse panda configuration. An ideal marriage of form, function and design in a compact package that is not so eye-wateringly expensive that I might actually enjoy wearing it outside the house.
