In this episode of On Time, Lex Borrero sits down with Miami-based collector and creative Matt McKenna to talk about the deeper meaning behind watch collecting.
This conversation goes beyond luxury watches. It’s about legacy, family, and the emotional stories that define a collection. Matt shares the story of the Omega watch his father wore every single day until he passed, and how that moment shaped the way he sees watches today.
From Omega and Rolex to Audemars Piguet and Patek Philippe, we explore how collectors evolve, why certain watches stay forever, and why the best collections aren’t built on price — they’re built on story.
If you’re into watch collecting, luxury watches, horology, or building a meaningful collection, this episode is for you.
