Samwan's horological journey, spanning three decades, offers a compelling narrative on the enduring appeal of vintage timepieces. His recent return to classic designs, particularly an Omega Seamaster retailed by Tiffany's and a Rolex 8171 "Padellone," underscores a collector's evolving appreciation for simplicity and historical significance.

30 years ago, I started with vintages. Then I moved on to modern wristwatches. Three years ago, I unloaded the bulk of my modern watches....not a bad idea in hindsight.

Lately I am drawn to vintages again - simple elegant designs, probably time only pieces. Here is one of them...an Omega Seamaster sold at Tiffany's in 1964.







Here's my other favorite - Rolex 8171 "Padellone"
