Q: How did you get into watch collecting?

A fascination with my Father's two-tone Rolex Air-King Date Oyster Perpetual and Pierce Brosnan's Omega Seamaster in Goldeneye.

Q: What was the first watch you ever owned?

Timex Ironman

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

A number of my watches were stolen in a home robbery in 2021. My SKX007 turned up at a pawn shop just two days later and I still have it on the same Crafter Blue rubber strap to this day. I almost feel it would be a bad omen to change it!

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

Go slow and ease into the hobby. Watches are subjective, so what you love may not be what everyone else loves, and viceversa. Enjoy the YouTube content but don't follow the herd and be sure make your own choices. This hobby is for you and not for others, so wear what you love!

Q: What brands have been getting your attention lately?

Blancpain, Phillipe Dufour, and Patek Philippe.

Q: What is your grail watch and why?

Patek Philippe 2497. I think it is the most elegant watch on the planet.
