To say that I love watches would be an understatement. To say that I’m fanatical about watches, would be closer to the truth, but regardless of how I try to spin it, the end result is the same I love watches. This love — obsession, really — began at the age of 8 with the gift of my first watch, and has grown exponentially with each passing year. Some folks burn out and move on when they reach a critical mass in their given hobby; not me. In my case the fire just grows hotter, burns higher and consumes more and more of my time. To this end, I write (for iW Magazine, Gear Patrol, Supercompressor and more), I consult (for several companies who I’d prefer to keep under my hat for the time being) and most importantly, I founded Red Bar Group, LLC. That latter bit is important, given that it has helped me bring the gospel to the streets, so to speak. As wonderful as the internet has been to the world of horology, for me there’s nothing better than being able to sit down with my fellow watch idiot savants and talk turkey over a drink. It seems that I’m not alone in this thought, which is why Red Bar is now nationwide, as well as in Canada, Switzerland (natch) and Dubai.
