  • One of the most important factors of collecting for Chris Li is the people you get to share the hobby with along the way, so he joins Tim to talk about his collection of watches and model cars and the stories behind them. Whether it’s acquiring a Vacheron Constantin Overseas to remind him of his music group or an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore while with a group of friends, many of his stories relate to the people that the watches remind him of from his many years collecting. TAG Heuer, H. Moser & Cie., Grand Seiko, and more are all discussed in this episode of Collector Conversation.

    Really loved how Chris talked about the relationships with people at Brew and GS, while also speaking to how a friendship drew him towards that G-Shock journey. Collecting is often about accumulating "things", but it's so fulfilling to accumulate human relationships along the way too.

    That GShock story is just like my Swatch, the place you eventually find them is not the place you can ever imagine placing it. Its like some1 took it and place it there.

    Chris Great collection and conversation! Love the g shock story and the carrera! Never thought I'd see EVO mentioned in this. Love the Red moser and I might be looking into those new Brew automatics. I've always loved the el primero, i'm hoping to find the rignt one, one of these days. Always a pleasure listening to these.

    That metal Gshock punches above its weight. I’ve owned mine for 2 years and love it.
    Always the PERFECT time, solar, multiple alarms, hourly chimes, and even a phone-finder function.

    Dude, I’m totally bugging out right now….my parents bought a Plymouth Volaré station wagon new in 1976, burgundy with the “wood” siding! Ours had the 318 V8, so when I began to drive it my junior year of high school, you know I had to find out how long of a burnout it would do! Thanks so much, I really enjoyed this one.
