Q: How did you get into watch collecting?

I bought a Seiko SKX007 right before a vacation trip to Greece. That was the start down a slippery slope.

Q: What was the first watch you ever owned?

Timex Marlin, back around 1970. I wish I still had it.

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

One of my watches is from my father. It was given to him by his employer in 1960 after 25 years service.

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

Buy what you like. Avoid buying every latest watch that the YouTube influencers are hyping.

Q: What brands have been getting your attention lately?

Henry Archer, Christopher Ward, Nivada Grenchen

Q: What is your grail watch and why?

There is no such thing as a grail watch. By definition, that would be an ethereal, legendary watch that can never be found.
