A watch: a symphony of moving parts, brought together in harmony and tuned to a precise degree. The similarities between watchmaking and music – and their relative roles in human history – are just one area we have recently explored. And like any composition, the players and their parts are important, but they are nothing without their audience: as you can read in the latest instalment of On My Watch, it is the individuals collecting watches that bring this world to life. We spoke to noted collector Mr Patrick Getreide, collaborator par excellence Mr William Massena and MR PORTER’s latest vintage watch partner, Mr Ben Dunn of Watch Brothers London for their horological tales of love, loss and extravagance.
