I’ve been collecting watches for about 15 years now, and I remember being little having Spider-Man watches Rugrats even going to school with a Calculator watch but that wasn’t what started my watch journey as I got older I love having something on my wrist feeling important every time I wore one. first watch I personally ever bought was a Timex expedition And I still have it.I’ve gone through 60 to 70 watches ranging from cheapos to really expensive ones but this is the watch that has never left my collection and never will. It always brings me back when I wear it or see it to the day i bought it. It was my first time being a man I bought my first watch myself and that’s what started the collection.

share the story and pictures of where you started.

What’s the story behind it how did you get it.

For me it was the case that I really dreamt of a „small golden, mechanical watch with a curved glass“.
When we were on a trip in Zurich we entered a small shop and I told what I was searching for. 100 CHF later I got this:

I still consider it as the best watch-related buying-experience due to the direct availability, no waiting for a service etc.

I wore it daily for a few years, it is still running strong and will always have a place in my box as it made me fall in love with the sound of a mechanical watch.
