The Founder
My name is Arthur Nogueira, I started to collect watches when I was thirteen years old. What started as a ritual to symbolize the transformation of a boy into man soon became a passion. The passion for watches was something that was inherited from my father. Every collection of anything begins the same way, by acquiring the first. My first watch was gave to me by my parents on my thirteenth birthday. That watch was not a simple watch to me for a simple reason. It was my fathers before mine. I was in love with that watch. It meant the world to me, but not because of any brand or price. That watch was one of the strongest bonds I had with my parents. Because of those reasons, I got pulled into the world of watches and became so passionate about them. My collection started that day, and in a little bit less then 7 years my collection went from one watch to twenty five watches. In the beginning I had only one criteria, if I liked and I could afford I would buy them. With time, of course, I became more literate on the subject and went from just pretty to pieces of art. So on my own standards I could say I am an expert on the matter.
