Q: How did you get into watch collecting?

I’ve always been interested in time and keeping time and I’ve always had a watch on my wrist. What really got me down the rabbit hole was researching a vintage watch to get my wife for our first anniversary. I wound up getting her a vintage Cartier Tank and in the process of doing the research fell in love with horology and learning about watches.

Q: What was the first watch you ever owned?

I don’t remember. It may have been a Timex. But I remember what the dial looked like and I think I was about 5 years old.

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

Take your time. Read all you can. Ask questions. And avoid impulse purchases.

Q: What brands have been getting your attention lately?

IWC, Doxa, Tudor, Oak and Oscar, Bremont, Vertex, and Tornek-Rayville

Q: What is your grail watch and why?

Still figuring that out.
