Q: How did you get into watch collecting?
Inherited a Rolex.
Q: What was the first watch you ever owned?
A Timex
Q: Do you have a watch with a particularly interesting story behind it?
My collection is incidental. I have a vintage Omega Seamaster from my father and a Rolex Oyster from my uncle. I’d rather have them both back but the watches remind me of them. Everything else in the box is a gift. I’m interested in being more intentional with my collection.
