[Question] What was the watch that started your collecting journey?

Ever since I was young, I always admired watches. I can recall noticing different types of watches on the wrist of family members, working professionals and of actors in many of my favorite movies. To me, they weren’t just a tool which served a practical purpose, but also a form of individual expression and style. I had a number of watches over the years growing up, mostly digital and quartz pieces, but it wasn’t until I picked up my first automatic watch, this Seiko Presage Cocktail time, that my passion of collecting was truly ignited. This beautiful piece continues to be one of my absolute favorites and I can thank(or blame) it for sparking my interest in these mechanical objects that bring us so much joy.
