Q: How did you get into watch collecting?

Recently the moonswatch started me on a quickly escalating journey of collecting

Q: What was the first watch you ever owned?

I honestly can’t remember my childhood watches - surely some Casios that look like calculators. So anyway, I’ll go for one from a few years ago - before the bug really took hold - a Rolex Bluesy.

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

I had a quartz Patek Philippe Calatrava with Olympic Rings on the dial. The extract of the archives shows it was bought in 1992. Research online suggests these were given to International Olympic Committee members and other dignitaries at the 1994 Olympics.

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

Be a lot calmer than I have been.

Q: What brands have been getting your attention lately?

Cartier cartier cartier. Just love it. Great for my smaller wrist - beautiful design. Perfect to wear every day - even dressed down (or usually dressed down I should say.) At the other end of the size spectrum, Tudor makes really handsome tool watches. I love the Pelagos FXD. Special mention to Christopher Ward. The bel canto opened my eyes to what an awesome brand they are.

Q: What is your grail watch and why?

I am a big Patek Philippe Aquanaut fan. I owned the 38mm steel "Paul McCartney" ref. I would love a travel time one day.
