Lex and CJ sit down with Eduardo, a Miami Watch Club collector whose path into horology started later than most and accelerated with unusual speed. After years in medicine, Eduardo found himself pulled into the world of independents, where the appeal was not hype but craftsmanship, scarcity, and the people actually building the watches. What follows is a conversation about how collecting can become a second life, one shaped by curiosity, discipline, and a willingness to go far beyond the obvious entry points.
The episode moves through Eduardo’s early encounters with F.P. Journe, visits to independent workshops in Geneva, and the way his taste evolved from fascination into focused connoisseurship. It also captures a rare collector moment as two Audemars Piguet Clover watches end up in the same room, underscoring the difference between buying what everyone recognizes and building a collection that reflects a more personal philosophy. At its core, this is a story about moving past the standard luxury playbook and discovering what serious collecting can actually look like.
