During my school days, I worked in the warehouse of an auction house and that was when I first came into contact with exclusive, mechanical watches. The fascination was born from that moment and hasn't left me to this day. It was clear to me very early on that I wanted to learn more about the history and price development of watches - and of course that I wanted to own an automatic watch myself at some point. (My absolute, unfortunately far-off dream at the time was a Rolex GMT Master with the blue and red Pepsi bezel). During my studies, I then took my first steps in trading used watches on various online marketplaces and was then able to afford a used Breitling Colt that way.

As a co-founder of HORANDO, I am still fascinated by the history and development of wristwatches today. The article about James Bond's watches was written on a Sunday morning when we decided to start the Horando watch magazine.
