The joy of the journey is one that is identifiable to all collectors, no matter the object of their desire.There are books written about watches, watch companies, and watchmakers but very few exist written from the perspective of the watch collector. Enter: Mitch Katz. Mitch speaks to the collector in us all as he takes the reader on his 25-year watch-collecting journey. Developing a collection of anything means having the confidence to trust your own eyes and heart. As Mitch relates the unique and memorable experiences that led to his acquiring a number of one-of-a-kind watches, we see how, as his passion for watches grows, his collector’s eye and instinct are honed. Whether it be squeezing in a part-time job selling watches (much to his wife’s dismay), deciding to purchase a watch while in a dog park or a bathroom, or meeting some of the most significant watchmakers of modern times, the stories of how Mitch built his collection have become integral parts of his watches. Now, the memories evoked by the individual pieces, whether they be production or unique, only make each watch more special.Some call it insanity, others passion, in either event collecting is something we all do and derive pleasure from.Includes 107 sketches and grayscale photographs.
