Jewelry and watch industry consultant
Favorite jewelry era: Art Deco
Most cherished personal piece of jewelry/horology: My first real watch, a Baume & Mercier Hampton with black dial. Classic, understated and iconic.
If money were no object, which iconic jewel/watch would you like to own: An original Heuer Monaco chronograph, introduced in 1969 for the Monaco Grand Prix. It’s revolutionary for being what is believed to be the first automatic as well as the first square cased chronograph.
Best book to learn about jewelry: There are too many to choose. One I like to go to is Wartski, the First One Hundred and Fifty Years.
Expert’s tip to a jewelry/watch collection beginner: Only buy what you really like and will use. Don’t buy just for the sake of investment.
