Q: How did you get into watch collecting?
Very early on with a love of Swatches in the 80s.
Q: What was the first watch you ever owned?
Picco Kermit the Frog Manual Wind - All Plastic!
Q: Do you have a watch with a particularly interesting story behind it?
I wish, sadly, no.
Q: What is one piece of advice you have for someone just getting into watches?
Buy what you love to wear. Take it slow, the rabbit hole is very deep.
Q: What brands have been getting your attention lately?
Christopher Ward, Longines, Farer, Junghans, Monta, Oris Special Editions, Oak & Oscar. The Vortic concept is intriguing, though I'm not sure I'll purchase.
Q: What is your grail watch and why?
The F.P. Journe Black Label Moon Phase is horology art at the highest level. Striking looks, beautiful contrast, rare metals, unbelievable movement. When picking a grail watch, it should be, at least in the near future, unattainable. For me, that house is F.P. Journe.
