    Robert-Jan Broer interviewed at Baselworld

    Robert-Jan Broer works in finance in The Netherlands but he is also committed to sharing his passion for fine wristwatches through his Fratellowatches blog www.fratellowatches.com. He started the blog in 2004 as a way to communicate his enthusiasm and discuss watches "with fellow collectors and watch freaks".

    Robert-Jan was motivated to create his own blog when he noticed that the watch forums and blog sites he visited had posts which seemed, over time, to disappear. As a result, he observed, the same questions would be repeated and the same answers posted. He made the decision with Fratellowatches to maintain a searchable database of the site's content so that new visitors could have access to each article.

    Robert-Jan Broer has had a lifelong family connection to OMEGA - his grandmother proudly wore one of the original Ladymatic watches and when he had been informed that the OMEGA Speedmaster was the watch worn by NASA astronauts on the moon, he saved for the Speedmaster Professional he still wears today.
