Keen to hear from forum members who have some sort of rationale behind their watch collections.

I accept and see nothing wrong with simply buying what you like and have done this for the majority of my 10 years of interest in watches. Some have stayed but many have moved on so that I could try out and enjoy others (funds are limited after all!).

The above said, I recently find I’m down to 1 watch from each brand and fancy keeping this going as my collection theme. It seems a fun, challenging and interesting way to ensure diversity and breadth.

See below the SOTC (my first, so go easy haha)

AP Diver


Rolex Daytona


Nomos Tangomat (my first expensive watch)


Tudor Pelagos 39



Longines (18th Birthday present from my Grandma and no idea what the model is?)



So what changes do I see?

Short term, I’m thinking about swapping the Nomos for a Weltzeit (white/silver dial still) and the Tudor isn’t getting worn much so will likely find a new home sooner or later.

Medium term, perhaps an IWC, likely a pilot. I have enjoyed a Pilot Chrono before.

Long term, I’d love a Patek 5524G, maybe a VC of some sorts.

What would you add?

Thanks for taking the time to read and keen to hear from you all, Niki
