Q: What was the first watch you ever owned?
probably a Timex Mickey Mouse in Hong Kong which my uncle bought for me at some local fair. He was my best friend,took things apart but not repair.
Q: Do you have a watch with a particularly interesting story behind it?
There have been so many but I can talk about my Breitling Transocean Worldtime that I saw on a cruise but decided to not close the deal. when I returned to Canada saw the same watch in a boutique closing sale. Picked up the watch for 40% discount no 13% tax.
Q: What is one piece of advice you have for someone just getting into watches?
Buy at your realistic budget, don’t bother with entry level if that is not you, likewise don’t blow your brains out with too much$$$
Q: What brands have been getting your attention lately?
I will always look at Breitling Tudor reminds me of when I was still a young man Grand Seiko, Cartier because I love visiting Paris Omega because I am Chinese Panerai because the design is unique Baume and Mercier for a deeply nostalgic reason FP Journe because it reminds me of Paris Oris because of my brilliant mom Fortis because it reminds me to not squander my extra dollars Rolex because it gives me a good laugh about so many different events but mostly about the fella who sold me hardwood flooring
Q: What is your grail watch and why?
I don’t have a grail. One man’s ceiling is another man’s floor, line from a Paul Simon pop song that my older brother loved to pieces but made him unhappy. I have experienced hard moments in my life but watches are just trinkets without the magic that we assign, they are not more or less
