Q: How did you get into watch collecting?

Watches have always interested me but I truly got into the hobby when I was in college. I knew I wanted to stand out from the rest of my peers both in college and in the business world since everyone wears a smart watch.

Q: What was the first watch you ever owned?

first one I remember owning was my Warner Bros. Bugs Bunny baseball watch. I can’t believe that I still have it and it still runs. The darn thing is still in minty shape considering I was a wild child growing up.

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

My Nixon 51-30. It’s a beast of a watch. It survived 2 near death accidents on my motorcycle and it was always my grandma’s favorite watch because of its large size and how heavy it was. I’ll never part ways with it.

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

Go with your heart not with the crowds.

Q: What brands have been getting your attention lately?

I’ve always had a soft spot for vintage watches. Lately I’ve been keeping an eye on watches that stand out in a crowd like Mr. Jones.
