Tony's Collection




Where you’re from:
Hong Kong, China
The first watch that moved you:
Cartier Tank watch was my first love.
Why:
I find the square Tank case very balanced in proportion and it looks great on a smaller wrist. I was 14 and could not take my eyes off the tank watch.
Day-to-day:
Our clients not only want to buy a watch, they want to buy the right watch for them at the moment. It is important for me to help them upgrade, unload or add new pieces that will improve their current collection.
Grail:
Patek Philippe 1578 case and dial design is so perfect that it looks great in all metals. The font on the dial is the same color as the gold case. The case can easily take on many color straps. The watch is just perfect.
The world should know:
My father gave me a vintage Omega when I was ten years old, and I purchased my first watch when I was fifteen - a Universal Genève Tank with a black, Roman numeral dial. I've had the passion for collecting ever since; I own everything from simple time/date watches, to GMT's, and an assortment of complications. I graduated from Northeastern University with a business major, and prior to joining EWC, I was a paralegal in a Boston law firm where I infected everyone with my love of great timepieces. I was a client of EWC for ten years before I came to work here.
