From Audemars Piguet Royal Oaks to complications from A. Lange & Söhne and Patek, the financier brings an easy grace to collecting high-end watches.
, cigar aficionado, and person of refined taste from food to fashion. That’s a pity, because it’s her easy-going nature and warmth that define her down-to-earth approach to collecting high-endTudor Joined Forces With a Formula 1 Team to Create a New Black Bay Ceramic WatchSuch casual grace is rare among male European and American watch collectors, who often infuse competitive bravado into their claims on horological knowledge.
I didn’t purchase anything for two years because I felt very jaded with watches in general. It wasn’t that I felt the watches released were “boring,” but I wanted to be more intentional with how I approached this hobby. I realized the joy I experience with collecting came from the hunt itself, including the journey of building a relationship with ADs. I had skipped a lot of that because I was always impatient.
I currently have a mix of modern and neo-vintage. I wear all my pieces to death, so practicality is very important to me. I am trying to move my collection to more modern pieces because they are easier to take care of, and I’m really enjoying the journey of building new relationships with brands that I previously was too scared to approach.When I first started collecting, I took it too seriously and followed a lot of what more experienced collectors said.
I don’t pair my watches with cigars, but there are so many similarities in these two hobbies and the types of people who enjoy both. Like watches, I used to smoke cigars alone. I didn’t know there was a community surrounding the hobby. All my closest friends now love cigars and watches, so it became almost mandatory to meet at a cigar bar to discuss watches.
