Collecting vintage watches is fantastic in and of itself, with all manner of brands, models, eras, and styles to choose from and to focus on. There is quite literally something for everyone. But once you start down this rabbit hole, there is no escape. Pretty soon you’ll have a nice watch collection, but it won’t be enough. You’ll. Need. More! Thankfully, there is a whole other side to this horological madness, and it’s collecting all the extra goodies and ephemera associated with watches. What types of goodies, you might ask? How about boxes, papers (manuals, receipts, hang tags, etc.), bracelets, straps and buckles, advertisements, dealer signs and display stands, tools, and even spare parts. That should keep you busy!
