Horological Meandering

Watch his instagram account and scroll back 6 months or so, all pictures don't show any interesting watch. But then things changed. Some say the turning point was when he was invited to the Ambani wedding where he definitely spoke Anant Ambani about watch...  

He can’t make his mind up about many things in life.

So totally understandable his new found fascination for mechanical watches. I have to say his taste is nice. all pieces are definitely beautiful and horologically significant.

And I would think every minute of his schedule is occupied. I highly doubt he does his own watch shopping.

It just takes currency, and currency is VERY easy to come by in some sectors. Look, we all know why a certain CEO can looks down his nose at 'Tudor peons', we know, tho of course you don't usually hear them use their 'outside voice' when they think it. Bu... 

No reason to like him.

Mechanical watches do exist, are expensive and definite your status He's a billionaire. Actually it's more than just one thing, but he clearly has no idea of what mechanical watch is, it's just a game amongst gazillionaires. He's just buying the most expe... 

a guy with $200 billion can get very far very fast! Shocking, isn't it?

Look at Hodinkee talking watches with guys who don’t have a clue but are famous.

pens and accquired over $60,000 worth in about 15 months.

to most mortals

obscenely overpaid watch consultant to the obscenely rich. Cheers Marc

Some say a famous YouTuber curates for him what to buy....

Good for him, why not?

Did people expect him to wear a Hamilton or a datejust?! We can agree that owning those high end pieces doesn't automatically make him a knowledgeable collector, but nor is he claiming to be one.

Literally just pay someone relatively irrelevant gobs of money to get whatever you want. Factors of tens of millions of $$ are literally irrelevant at their net worths. The flip side is they lose much of the joy of true collecting - relationships made, th... 

he is no uber-collector, not even a real collector, just a guy with an obscene amount of wealth starting to hoard watches. Show him 5 watches with 4 of them being frankens or bad fakes and I would be surprised if he knew which one was the "real deal". Bei... 

From what I have seen first hand - these days most mega rich have art collections and discussing them is considered a decent topic, unlike speaking of more "materialistic possessions" like houses, yachts and watches. I personally consider watches a form o... 

He collects watches like I collect 2 euros coins.

.. have more high end watches than you have 2 Euro coins .... and more than I have 1 Euro coins LOL

You forgot to add his latest (at least to my knowledge) the FFC . Pic from IG Happy for him but for me half the fun part of collecting is the hunt and try to find that one special watch that you (with a logical mind)can’t afford but try to buy it anyway 🙏...  

They should make a 10 billion euro watch for him, than he can have sleepless nights LOL Should I but it or not, do I like it that much, Should I use a lot of savings and sell some other nice watches from my collection to afford this one ... ?

He better use his (stolen) money to help “normal” people who has lost everything in LA’s firestorm !!!!!

Money cannot by class.

....Guess we`ve all chipped in for the marvels, with our privacy.... It somehow strikes me as fairly solid evidence proving one cannot purchase class by the barrel...
