Q: How did you get into watch collecting?

I got a Swatch from my grandpa when I was about 3 years old. When I got older I knew from my first salary I buy a proper mechanical watch. It happened when I was 16 years old it was an Oris Pro Pilot

Q: What was the first watch you ever owned?

Swatch Flikflak

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

I have a Jaeger le Coultre Reverso with the family initials engraved on the back. I’ll wear it to my wedding, which takes place next year. For me it’s the most important peace in my collection

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

Don’t look at Rolex

Q: What brands have been getting your attention lately?

Serica, Nivada Grenchen, Vianney Halter, Greubel Forsey

Q: What is your grail watch and why?

A Patek Philippe Reverso. I’m a huge Jaeger le Coultre and a Patek Philippe fan and this particular Reverso combines both - for me the ultimate grail. I had a chance to look at it at the Patek museum in Geneva.
