Q: How did you get into watch collecting?

Loved watches since my first Oris at 8. As I age, I appreciate lowers end, working peoples watches more, but luxury brands still attract.

Q: What was the first watch you ever owned?

An Oris. I think it’s a ladies watch, but it sat nicely on my 8 year old wrist.

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

My father bought his father in law (my grandfather) a rado Conway on a trip,to England in 1973. My grandfather died in 1977 and I got his policeman’s hat and his watch. I miss him terribly.

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

Buy what you love. You like Russian watches of the 1960s? Rolexes? G shocks? Pulsars? All watches are equal if you love them.

Q: What brands have been getting your attention lately?

Casio. Fell in love with G shocks. Wenger. Victorinox.

Q: What is your grail watch and why?

Rolex Explorer. Or grand seiko.
