  • Thank you so much for WATCHing my video and I hope that you check out all my other content.
    I release 3 videos per week, all watch related, including reviews, first impressions and general watch related topics.
    I try very hard to diversify my content. Featuring known watch brands, microbrands, Aliexpress. Some I have purchased new, others second hand.
    The majority of the watches that I feature I have purchased. I buy them to enjoy, wear, have in my collection. I then also feature them on this channel.
    Being a smaller channel it is challenging to cover the cost of all the watches that I buy and partly because of this I have become an affiliate member with a number of companies including Aliexpress and Ashford.com.
    If you are looking for watches from well known brands then it is worth checking out:
    www.ashford.com
    If you are looking for great strap options then definitely check out:
    vario.sg/
    and
    artemstraps.com/collections/s...
    As an affiliate member I may leave affiliate links in the descriptions of videos. These links will direct you to the watches that I’ve experienced, reviewed and would certainly recommend. If you choose to use those links I will earn a very small commission.
    Thank you very much if you choose to use those links.
    Below are affiliate links for my absolute favourite watches on Aliexpress. Each of them I have owned and had positive experiences with the stores that they are linked to.

    Thank you for sharing with us your viewers your reasons that you love watches. I also enjoy watches for many of the same reasons that you have shared. Like you, certain watches are connected with certain events in my life. I still have the very first watch that I received 50 years ago when I was thirteen: a little hand wind Swiss Aureole and it still works! And then there is a Seiko 5 from 1984 that was the first gift from my mother-in-law and it also still runs. Watches are filled with memories but they are also items that have great utility. Their design meshes with their purpose in telling time along with many other functions depending upon their complications. Their engineering and design are interesting and they provide a lot of fun. In addition their small size means that a watch collection does not require a lot of space unlike my other passion: books. I notice that behind you in every one of your videos are book shelves filled with books (sci/fi fantasy?) and I love it! I collect 19th and early 20th century adventure fiction as well as books on history BUT sadly (much to my wife's dismay) unlike watches they take up a lot of space. Books are beautiful, informative and entertaining and watches are also beautiful, useful and entertaining but watches can be collected without filling the house thus perhaps permitting greater marital harmony.

      Well said. Yes I also love books and have had the same thought about the space that both the books take up vs watches.

    I think I enjoy watching videos about watches and researching them more than the watches themselves. And for me, it’s a hobby I can enjoy all the time. No pun intended. If you’re wealthy enough to be able to collect cars, you are not driving a car all the time, but you can wear your watch anywhere and everywhere. Unless you’re wearing a Berny, don’t go in the water. Ha! Kidding. Maybe. I love their Cartier Santos Homage BTW. Thanks!

      Still coming. I like to have the watch for a while before doing the full review.
      So I can have a proper feel for it.
