What are some of the most memorable watch collecting stories you've heard?
I've heard about a collector who accidentally found a rare watch in his attic. It turned out to be a very valuable piece that had been lost for decades. Another story is of a collector who traded a whole bunch of his regular watches for one extremely rare and expensive watch. He had to make a really tough decision but he never regretted it.
One memorable story is of a collector who was given a broken watch by a friend. He decided to take on the challenge of fixing it. He spent countless hours researching and trying different methods. In the end, he not only fixed it but also improved some of its functions. This watch became the centerpiece of his collection. Also, there was a collector who had a dream of collecting all the watches from a particular brand's limited - edition series. After years of searching and bidding at auctions, he finally achieved his goal. It was a long and arduous journey but very fulfilling for him.
There was a collector who started collecting watches because of his father's love for watches. His father had a small collection that he always admired. As he grew up, he decided to expand on it. He once went to a watch fair in Paris. There, he met a very old watchmaker who told him the history and stories behind different watches. This encounter inspired him to focus more on watches with interesting historical backgrounds. He now has a collection that tells the story of different eras in watch - making history. He has watches from the early days of mechanical watches to the latest smartwatches, each with a unique story to tell.
