Now more wary of A Collected Man

There is no doubt that it offers some of the best writing on fine watches available. For sheer educational content it's as good as it gets, and it's free too.
At the same time it is also a sales platform, which is why its writing is free to read. As such, its influence shapes tastes and directs behaviour towards a fairly narrow range of watches.
This is a critique rather than a criticism: it is, after all, the thinking person's Hodinkee and in this market that is a secular good. Nevertheless I now read its work and view its image posts with the same circumspection with which I approach most other platforms.
