Donny approaches watches the same way he approaches sneakers, fashion, and every other part of culture that leaves a real mark: through story first. In this episode, Lex and CJ unpack how that mindset shaped his collection, from the Cartier Santos that first pulled him in to the broader idea that a great watch should represent a moment, a memory, or a point of view rather than just a price tier. The conversation treats collecting as personal expression, not luxury performance.
That lens opens up a broader discussion about why the most meaningful collections rarely look like a shopping list of obvious hits. Donny talks about how pop culture influences his choices, why certain brands resonate more than others, and how taste becomes sharper once you stop buying for approval. It is a thoughtful episode about style, restraint, and the value of building a collection that feels like your life instead of the market.
