Q: How did you get into watch collecting?
I've always regarded watches as the most special thing I could wear, thereby making me feel great when I wear one. Even as a small child I remember rounding up all the watches, putting them in a little box and hiding them like treasure, just for me to look at. So when I was old enough to have my own money I could never walk past a jewellery shop window without stopping to look and turning to the watch section of the argos catalogue first. So I started buying what took my fancy ........

I've already owned my grail watch, alas I sold it- 1992 Tudor submariner 79090, mine was the blue one and it was mint even though I wore it as my daily for years. It was the most beautiful colour, a stylish tool watch, and it was the one for me
