Radone's "Say NO to safe queens!" campaign resonates deeply within the luxury watch community, advocating for the enjoyment and wear of timepieces rather than their perpetual storage. This editorial explores why collectors, particularly those passionate about brands like Patek Philippe, choose to actively wear their watches, embracing the inevitable signs of a well-lived life. Radone's initiative sparks a conversation about the true purpose of collecting and the joy derived from experiencing these horological marvels daily.

Lovely photo of your watch...

I never understood the point of buying a watch just to store it away in a vault and never use it. Itβs completely meaningless.
It's just during COVID, nothing is worn, nor driven. And actually the watches are all in the bank safe since they're not getting worn.
For me, most have been put on wrist with reasonable care, though a few scratches are often unavoidable...... I have learned to rationalize those scratches throughout this journey
