Q: How did you get into watch collecting?

First received a digital transformer figure LCD watch when I was 7 years old, then progressed from there

Q: What was the first watch you ever owned?

See above

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

Managed to get my grail watch to mark my 40th and birth of first child.

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

What you think you'll like after a few years will prob be very different from where you start. Try out a range of styles and sizes at the affordable end then when you go a bit more upmarket it will be well informed.

Q: What brands have been getting your attention lately?

Rolex, Smiths, Tudor, San Martin, Farer, Lorier, Nomos, Steinhardt, Islander, WMT, Baltic.

Q: What is your grail watch and why?

Rolex Explorer 124270. Love the balance between function and aesthetics. Function came first but ended up being a beautiful under the radar classic. A piece of horological history with many incremental improvements over the years.
