Notes from a Watch Collector

Welcome. I have been collecting mechanical watches for over fifteen years. What started as an appreciation for a grandfathers pocket watch evolved into a lifelong pursuit of horological knowledge.

This site documents my journey through the world of fine timepieces — the watches I have owned, the ones I admire from afar, and the lessons learned along the way. I write about what interests me: vintage chronographs, independent watchmakers, and the stories behind the dials.

I am not a dealer or an expert. Just a collector who enjoys the mechanical poetry of a well-made watch.
