A Slice of New York

Victor, a New York native, shares his love for watches over coffee in his neighborhood. These casual conversations about family, life, and of course, watches, have become a respite from his busy daily life. Victor's collection showcases his passion for unique and significant finds, some of which are still unknown to the public.

A Passion for Vintage

Victor's ability to find rare and important watches sets him apart as a true vintage hunter. His collection includes timepieces from renowned brands such as Bulova, Patek Philippe, and Audemars Piguet. From military dive watches to classic Calatravas, Victor's collection spans a wide range of styles and complications.

Exploring Enamel

Victor's fascination with enamel work led him to discover the artistry behind vintage watch dials. He appreciates the craftsmanship of enamel artists, which is evident in both high-end brands and lesser-known names. Victor's expertise allows him to identify the work of specific artists, showcasing his deep understanding of this unique aspect of watchmaking.

Hidden Gems

Victor's collection also includes watches that have never been seen publicly before. From a rare Audemars Piguet world timepiece to a captivating Jaeger-LeCoultre perpetual calendar, these timepieces capture the essence of exclusivity and rarity. Victor's knack for finding hidden gems makes his collection truly one-of-a-kind.

A World of Possibilities

Victor's collection extends beyond wristwatches to include stunning pocket watches. These vintage treasures offer incredible value and beauty, often at a more affordable price compared to their wristwatch counterparts. Whether worn or displayed, these pocket watches stand the test of time.

Embracing the Unconventional

In a departure from traditional timepieces, Victor adds a unique Richard Mille watch to his collection. This tonneau-shaped watch showcases his appreciation for unconventional designs and innovative craftsmanship. Victor's choice serves as a testament to the excellence of the RM 67-02 and its undeniable appeal.
