The author is a design patent examiner with a degree in architecture and a collector at heart. He has been collecting watches for more than 16 years, and over time his interests have increasingly turned toward neo-vintage pieces — especially distinctive designs, overlooked references, and watches with stories that deserve a closer look.

​

His background in architecture naturally shapes the way he looks at watches as designed cultural objects, while his work in patent examination has trained him to pay close attention to even the smallest details. He also has a particular interest in bracelet design and the way it contributes to the overall character and identity of a watch.

 

Beyond watches, his interests include art collecting and mid-century design, both of which continue to influence the way he thinks about form, materials, and visual culture.
