Marc Cohn And His Hamilton Khaki
Napa, CA-native Marc found this Hamilton Khaki Field Automatic early in his watch-collecting days – and at a price he couldn't refuse. He loves its big crown and display caseback, and says it's been a great companion that he can wear anywhere.swiss replica watches

John Cote And His Le Phare Pocket Watch
John, from Indianapolis, IN, is the son of a watch-collecting father – primarily pocket watches. In the late '80s, his father called him to say he'd found the watch he'd been looking for all his life – an 18k Le Phare minute repeater, but that the price was too steep. John managed to convince him otherwise.

Rich Howe And His Bulova Accutron
Rich, from Naperville, IL, received this Bulova Accutron for his high school graduation. It was hidden in storage for decades, but his wife recently found it, and he had it serviced and brought back to life. He says it now keeps great time, and that wearing it brings back memories from long ago.
Ben Parkhurst And His Omega Chronostop
U.K.-native Ben bought this 1969 Omega Chronostop from its original owner, a fellow space nut. Not only does Ben love it, but it also sparked a passion for horology in his girlfriend, who wears it often. He sold it at one point, but a week before he planned to propose to his girlfriend, the buyer asked if he wanted to buy it back – and Ben did just that.

Steve Polevoi And His Seiko Lord Matic
Steve, from Campbell, CA, is the proud owner of a family heirloom – this Seiko Lord Matic. In 1972, during a trip to Japan, his parents bought this watch for Steve's grandfather. After his grandfather passed away, Steve inherited it – and wore it every day for a couple of decades. He plans on gifting it to his grandson.
