Q: How did you get into watch collecting?

My Mum bought me a Timex when I was 8 years old

Q: What was the first watch you ever owned?

Timex Mickey Mouse watch when I was 8 years old

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

I bought a Longines Hydroconquest back in 2017 when my girlfriend was away in Italy. I decided to buy the ladies version as a surprise for her and also so I wouldn’t get screamed at for buying another watch. The end result was she became a watch collector herself and now has 10 watches in her collection.

Tudor , Nomos , Nodus , Christopher Ward, Longines
