col·lec·tion
/kəˈlekSH(ə)n/
noun: collection
The action or process of collecting something.
The journeys of watch collectors share many similarities. Many of us start learning about timepieces through our father or grandfather, and it is generally a family affair. As we look at our mentor’s wrist, our eyes sparkle and our imagination wanders.
Once the curiosity is peaked, there is rarely any turning back, and the search for that grail timepiece begins. That perfect piece that brings back the sparkle in our eyes and triggers our endorphins.
Spoiler alert: There will be many grails and that search is endless…
In this episode, Ernesto and Leslie focus on five timepieces within their collection and explain why they hold such a dear place in their heart.
As difficult as it was to choose only five timepieces, they still made it work. You can view some photos of their beauties below.
