Horology

I was a fan of horology since the 1980s. BUt, over COVID, I did deep dives into many manufacturers, watch styles, materials, and engineering. I did daily Facebook posts, featuring a different brand, or watch. From Seiko to F.P. Journe; Rolex to Patek; I covered them all. I currently have a 35 watch collection featuring Omega, Mido, Seiko, and many more. I would love to be in haut horology, but I am also fine with entry level sales.
