My father had an accutron when I was 7. For me it was my dad’s watch and it was the only humming watch around me ! I was so proud.

He had a 218 movement. Then I grew up and red about the 214 Space View. I was totally blown away by such modernity and simplicity (12 moving parts).

I made music for a lot of watch brands : tag Heuer, urwerk, Baume, zenith, Vuitton, Chanel, EBEL etc.

The 2020 came and I get obsessed by the 2020 Accutron model (which doesn’t hum so it’s sad for a musician like me 🤣) and when I turned 50 it was mine ! When you have a 1966 model, it’s a « must » to have the 2020 too ! 😉👍🏻

I’ve had a Submariner as my only watch for 25 years and am starting to explore and collect this past year.

"Creating a two-watch collection that consists of the Rolex Datejust 36 and the Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch is an excellent choice. These two watches offer a balanced blend of elegance and heritage, providing versatility for various occasions. Here's why this combination makes for a compelling collection:

Rolex Datejust 36:

Timeless Elegance: The Datejust 36's classic design and elegant aesthetics make it a versatile watch suitable for both formal and casual settings.

Iconic Brand: Rolex is known for its prestigious reputation and exceptional craftsmanship, making the Datejust a symbol of luxury and status.

Functionality: The inclusion of a date complication adds practicality to the watch, enhancing its everyday usability.

Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch:

Historical Significance: The Speedmaster Moonwatch's association with space exploration and its role in the Apollo missions provide a unique and legendary backstory.

Heritage and Legacy: Owning a watch that has been to the moon adds a sense of historical connection and a conversation-worthy element to your collection.

Sporty Appeal: The Speedmaster's chronograph functionality, tachymeter bezel, and sporty design cater to a more active and adventurous lifestyle.

By combining the Rolex Datejust 36 and the Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch, you're assembling a collection that spans both the traditional elegance of Rolex and the iconic significance of the Speedmaster's lunar heritage. This pairing offers a well-rounded selection for different occasions and preferences, showcasing both refined luxury and historical importance in the world of horology.

The 3 keepers in my collection: Tudor Pelagos 39, Sinn 556 MOP, and Omega Aqua Terra 38.
Figuring out through trial and error what I do and don’t like, and these 3 just work perfectly for me. I have a Black Bay 54 and Smiths Everest in gilt, and I rarely wear them both because of the gilt alone. I’m more of a modern watch guy I think.

No need to choose, better have both 😁

Over time, I have amassed a small collection of watches from Mr. Jones. They represent a unique and distinctive watch brand based in London, known for its artistic and unconventional watch designs. This brand frequently collaborates with various artists and designers to create timepieces that transcend mere functionality; they are wearable art. Mr. Jones states, "...their watches are not only unusual, but they are also intended to tell a story, initiate a conversation, or simply bring a smile to your face." . While not all of their watches fall into this category, many are produced in limited quantities, often just 100 pieces, making them highly sought-after collectibles for watch enthusiasts and art lovers alike. . Despite not being a luxury brand, they offer a more affordable option for individuals who appreciate unique, artistic timepieces, thus making them accessible to a wider audience. . Several of their watches feature unique and artistic movements that surpass traditional watch hands, often aligning with the watch's theme or design, enhancing the overall aesthetic. . What's particularly fascinating is that Mr. Jones allows customers to customize specific aspects of their watches, such as the strap and case back, enabling them to add a personal touch to their timepiece—a truly super cool feature.

Time waits for no one! Watches represent self-expression, art & freedom. My ideal watch combines functionality with good looks & an intriguing history.

Here’s a gold Omega my mother bought father for their wedding in the late ‘60s. Beside it is a special edition Seamaster I got in Tokyo in 2002. And a Hamilton Ventura I absolutely love.

Summer is officially over so the bracelets are back! It’s my preferred look and feel; each one is different (only one oyster).
