WRIST CHECK: Morgan’s Watches

Watch #1: Vintage-inspired BND with a lovely patina and overall distinctive “tropical” aesthetic reminiscent of the 1950's horological aesthetic.

Watch #2: Noor, which translates in Farsi to “Light.” Features a conservative, vintage design.

WRIST CHECK: Paul’s Watches

Watch #1: 18k Yellow Gold Vintage Rolex Daytona ref 6263 circa 1978. The watch is a newer addition to Paul’s collection and is in mint condition. The original owner took extra measures to safeguard his beloved Rolex, engraving his name and even his social security number onto the watch.

Watch #2: Patek Philippe 5970 Perpetual Calendar Chronograph. The coveted watch was on Paul’s radar for a while. Fortunately, he was recently able to add one to his legendary vault.

WHO IS MORGAN KING?

Paul and Morgan met at the Paul Newman auction preview – the history-making auction where Newman’s personal Daytona sold for a staggering $17.8 million. Interestingly, both also attended Boston schools.

Q: How Did You Get into Watches? What Was Your First Vintage Watch?

A: A notable point in Morgan’s watch-collecting journey occurred in a watch shop in LA in the early 2000s. There, he found a TAG Heuer Carrera Re-Edition. He realized that it wasn’t just any ordinary timepiece but rather an homage to the first original model, which sparked a genuine interest in the watch.
