Q: How did you get into watch collecting?

Once I had my first automatic, which had a see through back case, I was completely hooked on the inner workings of mechanical watches.

Q: What was the first watch you ever owned?

My father gave me an Accutron Astronaut when I was in high school.

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

I have two watches that are special to me. My Grandfather's Hamilton pocket watch from the 1920s, and an Accutron 214 that my grandfather received upon his retirement.

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

Only buy watches that you love and skip settling for a lesser watch then you truly want.

Q: What brands have been getting your attention lately?

Seiko always! Microbrands of all types but mostly divers. I have wanted a JLC Reverso for a while now and feel the time may be right very soon.

Q: What is your grail watch and why?

Lange 1. It is simply perfect in my opinion.
