Q: How did you get into watch collecting?

Saw a Nixon Newton (still own it) and it made me rethink how wrist watches could display time.

Q: What was the first watch you ever owned?

First ever was probably an indiglo timex on a leather strap. I can’t remember who gave it to me but I was 10 or 11 and I wore it until the leather started to stink so bad I couldn’t wear it anymore. Who gives a kid a watch on a leather strap, am I right?

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

Go with what interests you. It’s ok to buy “affordable” watches and not dive into luxury. Take the journey and see where it takes you. Your tastes will always change.

Q: What is your grail watch and why?

Z Blue Milgauss. I remember wanting a Rolex and looking for something more interesting than the standards everyone seemed to already own. The Milgauss immediate turned my head because it was the least Rolex Rolex I’d ever seen, and I feel like that’s me in a nutshell.
