Building the Perfect 5 Watch Collection

For a one watch collection, you need a piece that can do it all.
For a two watch collection, you'll want two very different watches.
For a three watch collection, you can do something fancy, something sporty, and something in between.
For a four or five watch collection, you'll need to watch until the end of the video!

I love your open mindedness about differing styles and the emphasis on personal happiness in all this.

Finally caught a premier. Happy Sunday friends, cheers!

Great advice. Buy what you love, not what everyone else loves. Rolex Pepsi? Not my thing, so I will never own one.

I think not ticking boxes is an important part of collecting. Just buy what you like.

I find that my excitement for new watches diminishes greatly with the more I have. So I use a four watch collection that is pretty dang close to what you mentioned. The main difference being that my fourth watch is a beater that I can wear knowing it will likely get damaged. I have found that these four watches give me endless joy, especially since I can make them all as somber or funky as I want with an extensive strap collection.

Do everything: Datejust
Sport: Speedy.
Dress: Tank.
Beater: SKX.

The only other watch I find myself missing is my old 5513, so I guess if I ever went to a five watch collection a no-date Sub would be my happy watch.

Love the Cabrio Chronoswiss - first time I have seen it. Awesome!

[jeromef]

The turn o graph would be perfect with a black date instead of red ! I love this red hand it s so cool. Much better than a datejust indeed, classy and sporty in the same time…

My smart watch is the only watch I wear now. I use my oris 65 on holiday as it brings me joy. Thats it. Im looking for a Bronze 58 or the new Oris Sepia for some bling.

Extreme structure is the only thing that keeps me honest and my only defense against unreasonable/random overspending. I do one watch per brand:
1. Dress
2. Wildcard ( currently vintage/birthyear)
3. Travel (Dual or GMT)
4. Chrono
5. Diver

I have more than 5 now, but my starting lineup would be:

JLC Master Control Calendar-Can be dressy on a strap or sporty with the bracelet.

Rolex Submariner-Classic and sporty while remaining undercover.

IWC Spitfire-Sporty tool watch with a surprisingly beautiful dial that you can wear anywhere.

Casio G-Shock John Mayor collab- Totally fun and casual. Great with. jeans.

Casio World timer- Very functional tool watch that can be warn anywhere

My 5th "make you happy" watch (which was actually #16) was one of the cheapest watches I have. Just a beautiful blue face Seagull 1963. Sure there are Panerai, Zenith and Rolex's waiting their turn, however the Seagull is just a fantastic looking watch that makes me smile!

My five watch collection...

1) Grand Seiko "Snowflake" Spring Drive

2) Rolex GMT Master 2 "Rootbeer" Stainless Steel 18k Rolesor Gold

3) Cartier Santos ADLC Black

4) G-Shock MRG-B5000B-1DR "Square"

5) A. Lange & Söhne 1815 Perpetual Calendar

[LanguagesWithAndrew]

This should've been 20 minutes instead of 2, but for what it was, it was extremely good.

[tygaz]

My idea of what a 5 watch collection is..

1. Dress - Cartier torture monopoussoir
2. Daily - Patek 5712/1a
3. Beach - Patek green aquanaut
4. Baller - Rose gold AP chrono
5. Beater - Rolex datejust 36 on an oyster bracelet

[eloyrodriguez]

Rolex DJ41 2 tone yellow gold, Rolex explorer 2 and a navitimer!
I only have the DJ41 now and I’m saving money for the other 2 watches

[gniffub]

Quick steal from my man Adrian Barker, but cool Rolex indeed

[mark_n_r]

For a watch collection you NEED these four, a Diver, GMT, Chronograph and a Dress.
After that it's up to you.
