Good Day from Jeff

I wanted to introduce myself. As my partner in Watch Novices alluded to there would be another "blogger" here. I hate that word. I am a self professed Watch Geek with aspirations of being a Watch Collector. I do not collect watches because of the possible investments that could be had. That is just a myth anyway. I collect for the pure visceral joy i get by collecting them. I am by no means a watch bigot or elitist. I will not stand before you and say that Swiss Quartz are crap, that a Japanese Automatic is not as good as a Swiss or any of that other petty stuff that is found though out the internet. What I say is just my opinion and that is all.

I started my fascination with watches at a young age. The first watch I can remember is my grandfathers pocket watch. I remember loving to hold it and listen to the whirring noises inside and the clicking noises as he would wind his watch. I was hooked.

Being a child of the 80's my primary watches growing up were Swatch's, Casio Calculator watches, and random digital. Since then I have had Fossils, Invicta's, Swiss Legends and others
join my collection. I hope to share some of them with you, give you my honest opinion, and maybe entertain you a bit.

As Josh said before me we will also be posting links to some of our favorite watch cyberspots. We hope you enjoy our little corner of the internet. And remember; Clothes make the man, but a watch defines who that man is.
