A Discussion around owning Less (or More) watches. For years I have always been a strong advocate for “Less being More” as a collector, but as time has gone on, my thoughts around this notion has changed slightly. Many of us dream of owning that “One Watch” and while it is a grand aspiration, does it not also limit us and our enjoyment of this hobby at the same time? Can we not instead find some kind of equilibrium where we have a small-ish collection that doesn't completely deprive us of the depths this hobby takes us?
