From the tender age of ten, Eddie’s* fascination with watches traces back to his wanderings through the vibrant markets of Lomé, Togo. The kaleidoscope of colors and the artistic flair of street watches ignited his imagination, sowing the seeds of his deep appreciation of artistry and design.

Later on, the enchantment with timepieces was sparked by the elegance of his father’s Rolex watch, which upon graduating high school, he inherited. Over the years, this infatuation blossomed into a profound passion, leading Eddie to amass a collection that could leave any seasoned collector in awe.

His journey led him to the Patek Philippe museum in Geneva, where time seemed to stand still amidst the mesmerizing exhibits. The immersive experience was further enriched by tours of the manufacturing facilities of Audemars Piguet and Jaeger-LeCoultre, an expedition that deepened his admiration for the craftsmanship poured into each timepiece.

Eddie’s discerning eye and cultivated taste have produced a set of recommendations for the most appropriate occasions to adorn oneself with these treasures.
