Welcome to WatchCarefully.com

Thank you for visiting watchcarefully.com. I am a watch collector/enthusiast and a free-lance writer who contributes to various magazines, web sites and watch companies. My web site is meant to be a jumping-off point for you to explore the horological articles and essays I have written. It is also your means for contacting me.

Since the mid-1990s I have been heavily focused on learning as much as possible about this fascinating industry. I have attended conferences, spoken with owners of watch companies & web sites, attended watchmaking school, tinkered with watches and photography, and finally settled on being a chronicler and commentator on the world of watch collecting.
