I grew up the son of a Professor of mathematics who was a collector of watches and a fine amateur photographer. There is a picture of me in a baby carriage going to the pawn shops in Manhattan with him and at 7 or 8 years of age he said he would give me a Kodak Retina 35mm camera if I would learn to develop my own film. The mathematics did not rub off on me as it did on my brothers but the watches and cameras did. I am really proud to be able to make a living at this stage of my life doing the two things I love best...taking pictures and buying and selling....and occasionally (probably too often) keeping watches. Many of the watches I keep these days are Heuers so thanks to you all for being my mentors in that area.

Best,
