My passion for watches began at fifteen, when I came across a magazine article featuring timepieces far beyond anything I could afford — including, for the first time, the name Vacheron Constantin. It was a world that felt distant from Rolex and mainstream luxury, and it left a lasting impression.
In 2006, that curiosity turned into practice through a watch trading business. Since then, I’ve collected, studied, compared, and lived with watches across brands, eras, and price ranges — learning not only about calibres and history, but about value, perception, and desire.
I write from the perspective of the informed consumer: someone who loves watchmaking, respects its heritage, but refuses to stop asking uncomfortable questions. RAW TIME is my space to reflect, analyse, and enjoy horology without noise.
