Savraj is from Kenya, where he runs an link autobody shop with his father. His father bought this Omega Speedmaster link ref. 145.012 in 1968, and wore it while working ever since – and it shows. The dial and hands were replaced during a repair, but Savraj searched and found the original dial. As a budding collector, Savraj says that you are meant to wear and enjoy link watches, just as his father did.

At about the same time my maternal grandfather gifted me a fountain pen. Having the ability link to write purposefully, as one does with a pen that highlights mistakes, was a necessary skill – and one I wasn’t cut out for at 14. My connection to pens lay link dormant for a decade, until a calligraphy pen landed in my hands.Now I collect pens, too. I link like memories and the slow hand.
