As a response to the recent Watches and Wonders hype, and all the predictable, annual derivative content that follows, I'm sharing something a little more profound and hopefully useful. In analyzing six of my watches (which could be considered an ultimate collection within my larger collection) they revealed to me nine fundamental truths and lessons I have learned in my collecting journey that have ultimately led me to be the happiest I have been in my horological adventures. Also stay tuned for special reporting, live from Watches and Wonders, by our very own Hollywood A-list movie star HRH Hugo Mountbatten. What are your secrets to watch collecting happiness? And what watches have taught you the biggest lessons? Please share in the comments.

Spoilers!
Included in the video are vintage hidden gems like my Panerai Luminor PAM0048, an ahead of its time Tissot Janeiro Z199 chronograph that was the progenitor to the Omega Speedmaster, the ultimate strap monster in the form of my Tudor Submariner ref. 79090, the Universal Geneve White Shadow that inspired my favorite Patek of all time (the Ellipse,) a Seiko Willard reinterpretation of the iconic Apocalypse Now diver ref. SPB237J1-a watch that taught me to appreciate unusual timepieces I never expected to like-and last but by no means least, the Casio G-Shock Mudman G9000 that made me appreciate how fun and simultaneously practical watches can be at an affordable price, for less than $100.
