In this episode of On Time: A Collector’s Journey, Lex Borrero and CJ sit down with Alessandra, the first female watch collector from the MIA Watch Club to join the podcast, to trace how her perspective on watches completely changed. From once thinking $400–$500 was a lot to spend on a watch to discovering vintage pieces, attending major watch events, navigating the secondary market, and developing her own collecting philosophy, Alessandra shares what pulled her deeper into the watch world.
The conversation also explores the growing community of women in watch collecting, the MIA Watch Club Women’s Circle, what women actually look for in watches, and why the relationships surrounding the hobby can become just as meaningful as the watches themselves. And when Alessandra enters the 0260 Hot Seat, things get controversial. From Rolex, Patek Philippe and AP to Piaget and Cartier, she reveals which brands she believes deserve more attention, and which iconic name might be a little overrated. Subscribe to 0260 for more conversations with collectors, watch enthusiasts, industry insiders and the people shaping modern watch culture. #Cartier #WatchCollecting #LuxuryWatches #WatchCollector #Rolex #Piaget #PatekPhilippe #AudemarsPiguet #MIAWatchClub #0260 #OnTime
