The following statement conveys our true feeling about watches...
A mechanical wristwatch, if manufactured with a certain level of quality, is a vital feature of human culture and craftsmanship.
A quartz watch, on the other hand, is an element of technology. Because technology is always changing, eventually the quartz watch will disappear. That is why we relate to a watch as an element of culture rather than an element of technology.

About

One of my helpers with an Air King on his neck. He really gets into watches.

Taking a break after a long day.
Collecting Mechanical Timepieces
I have been collecting watches since 1998. I have also had an online presence since that time. I was fortunate enough to meet a master watchmaker in the year 2000 and studied under this man to learn mid level watch repair. He has now passed on, but I am forever grateful for the time spent and patience exhibited along my journey. It has allowed me to perform many repairs on the vintage watches that I buy, however I still send some watches to a watchmaker for more intricate repair like you would typically find with more complicated watches like chronographs.

I have been collecting, buying and selling vintage watches since 1998. It is a passion I have based on a deep fondness of the detailed and individual manufacturing process undertaken by skilled craftsman of earlier days.
