Q: How did you get into watch collecting?

There was a time when phones were attached to walls. There was a this device that you attached to your wrist to tell the time of day. It was super handy and easy to use. I have many of devices because they come in all sort of motor types and colors.

Q: What was the first watch you ever owned?

Timex Ironman

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

No. I wore it everyday for ten years. It just never broke. My girlfriend then stole it.

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

Buy a watch you like. You might stop looking at your phone.

Q: What brands have been getting your attention lately?

FP Journe, A Lange Sohne

Q: What is your grail watch and why?

Tudor North Flag. It is a milestone watch and a prototype watch for Rolex SA. It worked out the new movement for Tudor and helped in the development of a new escapement? The look also took a nod to tool watches like the Ranger and Explorer, but with new synthetic materials ceramics. Having a power reserve indicator is useful. Being a designer, one has to appreciate the daring it took to make this watch which is very much outside the norms of Tudor and Rolex. It is a watch which spoke to the past while looking to the future.
