How to collect Patek Philippe: an insider s guide

Watches are arguably the perfect collectible: they satisfy the same urge to understand mechanical things that characterises car collecting, but they don’t require a cavernous garage; they have all the aesthetic variety of a collection of paintings but you don’t need the wall space; they brim with the sort of forensically tiny differentiating details that raise philatelists to boundless ecstasies but are not as geeky as stamps; and they have the element of personal ornament valued by collectors of vintage couture, Hermès handbags and jewellery.

A respected Art Academy of Cincinnati teacher as well, he died in 1919 at age 70. Illustration by Gabriel Ippoliti But, really, the ideas behind this show are anything but complacent.
