Collecting watches and reflecting on time

Not too long ago, a 1933 Patek Philippe pocket watch sold for over $11m (still looking for one in my collection). Ever since I was a young, skinny lad growing up in northern Europe, I had a great fascination for timepieces and timekeeping--and still do to this day. I collect wristwatches, pocket watches, and wall clocks.
Whatever the object, desire is at the heart of collecting. My collection includes a Rolex, a Cartier and many other makes...but my favorite is my father’s 1965 Omega wristwatch. When I wear the watch it makes me feel that he is part of my day. Every time I look at this watch, it brings back memories of a great childhood. I hope that I someday will have objects like this to pass on to my children and to have them enjoy the memories of their great childhoods.
My father, who passed away 2 years ago, set a high bar as a parent for me to live up to. Thank you dad, for teaching me strong values, letting me be a part of your life, and giving me all these wonderful memories!
