My only market analysis was to look around and see that, in one way or another, most watches are inspired by watches that were made in the 18th and 19th centuries. If I wanted a watch like that, I'd much rather buy the real thing at auction than a replica.

Like most guys, I've always liked watches. I can always check the time on my phone, but having a watch is so much better.

The gesture of taking the watch from the pocket and looking at the time is very elegant for a man, but if I was going to create a pocket watch, I wanted it to be very modern. I didn't want to do old-fashioned.

Every man needs a good, solid watch. My favorite watch is the Presidential Rolex. I own many watches, but this one is usually the one on my wrist. I buy mine in the Diamond District in New York City. Classic.

I have a weakness for watches. I have to stop myself buying more.

I think I'd have to say my favorite IWC. They have been around for so long and the craftsmanship is top notch. A watch maker that has been in business over 100 years has to know what they are doing.

I use a Blackberry. I'm so behind on mobile communication technology, I think a smartwatch may be too far a leap.

I like a few vintage Rolexes, and Panerais are good. I'm not into sports watches - I like chronometers.

You can have your own watch and always doubt it. If I had a watch I'd probably always be doubting it or the batteries would be dying. I just know that people always have trouble with their watches, and that's why I like public clocks.

The last watch I wore felt like a handcuff. When I need to know the time, I check my cell phone.
