The Unintentional Watch Collector: An Unplanned Watch Collection Spanning Eight Decades

March 1, 2022/5 Comments/in Oris, Collectors and Collecting, Omega, Rolex, Seiko/by Colin Alexander Smith

Colin Alexander Smith never set out to collect watches; in fact, he suspects that deep down he aspires to being a one-watch guy. He has only bought himself a new watch on two occasions in his life. Nevertheless, through a combination of new and used purchases, gifts, hand-me-downs, and inherited pieces, Colin has managed to accumulate a selection of watches that rather neatly spans eight consecutive decades of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Find out what is behind each of these watches remaining in Colin’s collection right here.

February 28, 2022/10 Comments/in Collectors and Collecting, Omega/by Elizabeth Doerr

January 10, 2022/0 Comments/in Highlights, Omega, Parmigiani, Patek Philippe/by Sabine Zwettler

In celebration of the annual calendar, here are three exciting new models to kick off 2022 in style.

Why I Bought It: Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra 150M – Reprise

September 12, 2021/9 Comments/in Collectors and Collecting, Omega/by Saad Chaudhry

After a year of ownership, Saad Chaudhry has taken his Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra 150M to the end of the world, a dinner at a yacht club, and the open road as well as the open sea. The polished bezel has scars from doing battle against train commuters and car doors. The clasp has scraped against his keyboard more times than he cares to admit. However the watch still looks remarkably good. Here he explains why he bought it (and kept it) a year after the purchase and whether he would do it all over again.
