I am a lover of affordable watches. I think they exist at the sphere of originality and uniqueness for us with mortal budgets. I have been collecting watches since 2016, but I started my love of watches in 2011 with a citizen my wife bought me for my 30th. I find myself flipping watches and enjoying the new world of microbrands. I live in Oregon and love to travel and experience the outdoors where, you guessed it, a watch is always on my wrist.
I have always loved watches and even have some pocket watches. Don't get much of a chance to wear the pocket watches as much anymore, just not my causal style and not sure I can pull it off. In 2011, I decided I wanting a wrist watch again and my wife bought me my first Citizen. I started getting back into it in 2016 and now I buy 1-2 watches a year. Where has the time gone.
