fell in love with a couple of Seikos my father used to wear back in 1981 a gold tone Seiko 5 and a Digital Seiko Alarm Chronograph (aka the Seiko Running Man) it was history from that point on!

Q: What was the first watch you ever owned?

A Digital Pulsar Alarm Chronograph

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

Digital Pulsar Alarm Chronograph I remember saving up for this with every bit of cash I could get in my hands on from my lunch money, cutting lawn on the weekends, fixing bicycles around the neighborhood to just borrowing (never really paid back 😆) from family members just to get that watch on the wrist which would become the very first wrist watch I have ever owned

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

you buy what you like and never what everyone else are wearing at the end of the day you always want to enjoy your collection

Q: What brands have been getting your attention lately?

Richard (pronounced Ree-sharr a defunct Swiss watch company that fell within the quartz crisis), Seiko 100 meters quartz, Diane Divers watch (a vintage French watch company I believe do not know much about it) and Rolex Submariner

Q: What is your grail watch and why?

a Richard Chronograph with a Valjoux 7734 movement, I love this particular piece because it’s extremely rare and just fun to wear with many different straps and bracelets
