Satbir’s collecting journey started with the idea of wanting the most efficient mechanical machine possible: the wristwatch. He started out big with the Patek Philippe Aquanaut and hasn’t looked back since, so in this episode, Tim talks to him about his guiding watch collecting philosophies. His journey has brought him to Rolex, Singer, Daniel Roth, and even a bespoke Koivukoski piece, with him choosing an emotional connection over brand recognition every time. Watch the full interview to see just how exactly his collection and tastes have grown and evolved.
