Q: How did you get into watch collecting?
After my Grandmother passed in 2013, I got my Grandfather’s vintage 1950s Zodiac Triple Date Moonphase. It didn’t work for the longest time, but after getting it serviced, I found it marvelous how such a small mechanism could keep track of the time, day, date, month, and moonphase all at once whilst being powered from hand winding. After that, the rest is history!
Q: What was the first watch you ever owned?
Seiko Quartz H601-0029
Q: Do you have a watch with a particularly interesting story behind it?
I have a vintage 14k solid gold 1948 Hamilton “Brock” that was gifted to me by a customer at a store I work at. He knew that I liked watches and always sees me working there and I always talk with him. The watch was awarded to someone who worked at the Hooker Electrochemical Company for 25 years. This is apparently the company responsible for the Love Canal environmental disaster in New York. Movement is Hamilton Caliber 982M.
