This lively dialogue sees a group of watch aficionados, shaking off the exhaustions of recent New York City watch events, diving headlong into some invigorating discussions about the eclectic realm of watch collecting. They dissect a recent survey about watch enthusiasts, that opens up fascinating insights into collector behaviour and preferences.
Surprisingly, the data reveals that most collectors spend less on their timepieces than one might anticipate. The survey finds common ground in unexpected places - a substantial portion of collectors also multitask as guitarists! A spirited debate over the often misunderstood concept of ‘constant-force mechanisms’ ensues, to the amusement of all participants.
A hearty argument about integrated bracelets sparks off with a call to ‘free the bracelet’. A critique follows on the seemingly sacred ’triple watch collection’, going as far as to brand it the ‘dumbest idea’ ever to emerge in the hobby.
