Q: How did you get into watch collecting?
I never wore watches except an Apple Watch. When I got rid of it, I exchanged it for 2 watches (Fossil Nate & Tommy Hilfiger Automatic). The automatic TH watch got me interested and I bought my first *real* watch, a Tissot PRS 516. At that time I was a student and didn’t have much money. When I got my first job after graduating, I had the funds to buy watches and fuel this hobby.
Q: What was the first watch you ever owned?
The first one I consider worth mentioning was the Tissot PRS 516
Q: Do you have a watch with a particularly interesting story behind it?
Not yet, but there’s an IWC pocket watch in the family with a long history involving WW1 that will eventually be mine.
Q: What is one piece of advice you have for someone just getting into watches?
In-between-watches don’t fill the void. If you want a Submariner, don’t waste your money on a Tudor Black Bay. If you want a Speedy, don’t waste your money on a Bulova Lunar Pilot. You’ll regret it almost always. This might sound snobby, but it’s an honest advice I wish I knew earlier.
Q: What brands have been getting your attention lately?
IWC! Very very cool designs, very very nice materials.
Q: What is your grail watch and why?
There’s no such thing as grail watch for me. There’s no watch out there in any price class that I wouldn’t eventually trade for another watch. It’s the journey of collecting and having seen every watch that tickles me.
