Traveling somewhere I don't want to wear an expensive watch - what better than to grab my two Casios for a week... #bskywatches #casio

When gentlemen get away for a weekend, they must display their modes of transportation! Steyr 80 tractor, known as the 15er because of its 15hp, next to my Mini. #classiccars #tractor

I was given this Chopard Mille Miglia as a wedding present so it holds tremendous sentimental value for me in addition to loving it for what it is: a celebration of an iconic race. The Dunlop racing tire profile strap rounds it off perfectly. #bskywatches #Chopard #MilleMiglia

I picked up this Bulova randomly - it was very inexpensive (and given the movement that's no surprise) but I like the look. I guess it's a placeholder until I get a proper Submariner. #bskywatches

A vintage Cartier Tank and a more modern Must de Cartier Tank - although by now, it's vintage too... I really like these but again watches that get no wrist time. Maybe I can convince my daughters... #bskywatches #cartier

I am fascinated by space exploration and as such I couldn't pass up the opportunity to pick up this Sturmanskie Gagarin Heritage watch. It's bigger than the original that he wore but the colour combination is pretty close. #bskywatches #sturmanskie #gagarin

The Cartier Tank Americaine definitely suits me better than the standard Tank but unfortunately I still never wear it as gold really isn't my colour... #bskywatches #Cartier #vintagewatch

This Poljot Aviator Chronograph was an impulse buy at a small store which doesn't exist anymore. I think it was the first time I spent more than Swatch money on a watch. I still love it and it gets a lot of wrist time! #Poljot #bskywatches #chronograph

For sale just down the road from me. This big block engine C2 Corvette would be an amazing partner for my Daytona but I'll need to save some more first... #Corvette #classiccars #bskywatches

It wasn't even that long ago that I discovered the world of Seiko mods. I thought I'd like to try it out so I found a guy who put one together for me. I'd probably go for a different combination if I did it again but I still like it! #bskywatches #Seiko #mod

This Sunbeam Speed 20 from 1932 was the actual exhibition model at the London Motor Show of the time. Currently being restored by a friend. It isn't mine unfortunately but I may need to get myself a contemporary watch for some pictures when it's done! #classiccars #sunbeam #bskywatches

GMT is my favourite complication and of course the GMT Master II is a classic. This one is from '93 and my favourite colour combination. #bskywatches #Rolex #GMT

I don't have many quartz watches in my collection but I was given this one and wear it happily, even though it's relatively small for my chunky wrist. I love IWC and maybe will go for the larger Pilot one day... #bskywatches #iwc #watches #chronograph

Looking forward to warmer weather... but will have to deal with ignition and carb issues first so that I can be sure the V12 starts when I want it to! @horologyrepublic.com Ferraris are nice too 😉 #bskywatches #jaguar #etype

The IWC Portugieser Chronograph Rattrapante is a masterpiece of elegance. The dual second hands of the chronograph are such an interesting complication. This is my go-to dress watch. #iwc #watches #watchcollector #luxurywatches

This IWC Aquatimer Chronograph is probably my most-worn watch. Sturdy and simple with a heavy rubber strap I love how it sits on my wrist. #iwc #Aquatimer #Chronograph #watches #watchcollector

I picked up this Tissot at an auction for a great price a little while ago. It's a hefty and simple piece which I really enjoy wearing! #Tissot #watch #watchcollector #watches

I never got to gift this Timex Marlin to a person very special to me. He would have loved Snoopy on a bike roaring across this beautiful watch. I replaced the strap with a rubber tire-tread strap to give it the real road feeling! #timex #watchcollector #snoopy #watches

This Speedmaster has seen the World and it wears its 60 years with pride and grace. I love wearing it and catch myself looking at it many times a day. #omega #speedmaster #vintagewatch #watchcollector

A Breitling Navitimer is a must-have for every watch collection. I love the old-timey feeling of the watch's slide-rule rather than the accuracy of my phone for some arithmetic... #Breitling #navitimer #vintagewatch #watchcollector #luxurywatches #watches #watch

Rolex Cosmograph Daytona, reference 6263, this one's from 1971. An amazing piece I wish I wore more often but pick up to wind every day. #rolex #daytona #luxurywatch #vintagewatch #watchcollector #watches #watch
