Q: How did you get into watch collecting?

Began in college as a mutual hobby amongst friends.

Q: What was the first watch you ever owned?

The first watch I ever bought myself was a Fossil Nate Chronograph quartz. Later I bought my first automatic, a V4 Orient Bambino. I credit the Bambino as my gateway ๐Ÿฉถ

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

My greatest "mistake" purchase was my Orient Sun & Moon watch. I mis-clicked the purchase button by accident and my student budget went into panic! Fortunately I decided to give the watch a chance before returning, and it has become one of my favourite sentimental watches. I now wear it to all of my formal/special occasions, most notably as best-man for the wedding of my two best friends. Just goes to show that your next favourite watch might be the one you least expect! Congrats C+A and thanks for the amazing memories ๐Ÿ‘ฐ๐Ÿคตโ€โ™‚!

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

Watch reviewrs and YouTubers don't know everything. Your tastes are allowed to (and should) be different! Have fun and don't take yourself too seriously.

Q: What brands have been getting your attention lately?

Longines... amazing heritage and value. Would love to own almost anything from their collections! ๐Ÿชฝ

Q: What is your grail watch and why?

Longines Legend Diver is my current grail! ๐Ÿคฟ
