items I wore an Apple Watch for years until I realized I was just wearing another notification screen on my wrist. I decided to switch to mechanical watches—tiny machines that run without batteries. This list is my "Starter Kit" for horology. You don't nee...

Automatic Movements for Every Day
These are the three watches every collector respects. They cover every occasion (Dive, Dress, and Beater) and they run on the movement of your wrist.
Why I Love This: This is widely considered the best "first automatic watch" on the planet. I love it because it’s a tank. It looks like a luxury dive watch with the rotating bezel and lume that glows in the dark. The "exhibition case back" lets me fl...

Why I Love This: When I need to wear a suit or a nice button-down, I strap this on. It looks like a vintage watch from the 1950s with its domed glass and roman numerals. It’s elegant, thin, and looks 10x more expensive than it actually is. It’s the p...
Orient Bambino 2nd Generation Version 2 Classic Watch | TAC00009N0 ...
Why I Love This: This is the hottest watch in the world right now for a reason. It has that 1970s "integrated bracelet" look that catches the light beautifully. The "waffle" texture on the dial looks incredibly premium. It has an 80-hour power reserv...

Respect Your Gear
A watch shouldn't sit on the nightstand getting scratched. I use these displays to turn my collection into a decor piece.
Why I Love This: I bought cheap boxes before, and the pillows were too small, making the watches flop around. This box is heavy and premium. The glass top lets me see my collection every morning, and the bottom drawer is perfect for storing extra str...
ROTHWELL 6 Slot Leather Watch Box with Drawer
Why I Love This: When I travel, I don't just bring one watch. This leather roll protects them perfectly. The pillows slide in and out on rails, so the watches don't crush each other. The "Espresso" leather smells great and feels rugged. It slides rig...
Mirage watch rolll Espresso Brown Watch Roll Case - 3 Watches
Why I Love This: This is the landing pad for my pockets. When I walk in the door, my watch, keys, and wallet go here. The leather prevents the sound of keys clanking on the table, and the snap buttons give it a cool, constructed shape. It keeps my ni...

Part of the fun is tinkering. I use these tools to resize my own bracelets and keep the acrylic crystals looking brand new.
Why I Love This: Don't buy the $5 tools; they break and scratch your watch lugs. Bergeon is the Swiss standard. The fork is hardened steel and grabs the spring bar perfectly every time. It allows me to change straps without fear of damaging my favori...
Bergeon 6767-F Watch Spring Bar Tool
Why I Love This: If you own a vintage style watch with an acrylic crystal, you will scratch it eventually. This tube is magic. I put a tiny drop on the scratch, rub it with a cloth for 2 minutes, and the scratch literally disappears. It saves me from...
Polywatch
Why I Love This: Dust is annoying, especially inside a watch box. I use this little rocket-shaped blower to blast dust out of the crevices of my watch links and off the crystal before I take a photo. It’s safer than using a cloth which might just sme...
