Q: How did you get into watch collecting?
My late best friend was a collector. After his passing his passion rubbed off onto me, I became heavily into watches from that moment... The rest is history :)
Q: What was the first watch you ever owned?
Timex T2N721 Tide-Temp-Compass Watch.
Q: Do you have a watch with a particularly interesting story behind it?
I was gifted a mechanical skeleton watch made to honour the brave efforts of the crews who flew the famous RAF Dambuster raids in WW2. At the time that the watch was gifted I was passionately following the airshow scene in the UK, volunteering to help maintain the only flying Avro Lancaster bomber in England, and the only flying Avro Vulcan bomber - the younger sister to the Lanc, and both designed by Roy Chadwick. I was also going through very hard times in my life with health.. I am now healthy, the Vulcan was grounded for good, and the airshow scene changed forever. The watch carries with it all of the emotions, memories and achievements of that period for me. It's a very special timepiece! :)
Q: What is one piece of advice you have for someone just getting into watches?
Enjoy the watches you like, don't be put off by the snobs out there. A timepiece can have its own story, its own meaning to you, it can express your personality, and it absolutely does not need to be the most expensive piece in the universe to do so. Buy for you, not for others.
Q: What brands have been getting your attention lately?
Casio, Timex, Omega, Pagani Design, Invicta, Seiko.
Q: What is your grail watch and why?
Rolex GMT master 2 pepsi.
