Talking Watches With Wei Koh

Ғылым және технология

The world of watches is a small one, and if invited to a few of the larger international horological events, one begins to realize that there are indeed some special people without which the landscape simply wouldn't be the same. Wei Koh, the founder of Revolution Magazine is one of them. He is a connoisseur of, well, life. Whether it be vintage motorcycles, fine shoes, great wine, or indeed watches, Wei Koh is the definition of a tastemaker. And today, we're talking watches.

    Now THAT is a great collection. Price was not the reason Koh bought those pieces, but because each piece actually had a meaning, from design to art to history, to him. Omega, URWERK, Richard Mille, Panerai, etc; all fantastic pieces! I also hope that he gets his father's Rolex back to him one day (good luck!)

    Wei Koh is a great guy and a true connoisseur of horological craftsmanship. A superb and unusual collection, those three Speedmasters were incredible. This episode of talking watches was so entertaining, unlike the one a couple of weeks ago with that rapper guy. He rolls up with a case full of Pateks and expects everyone to kneel down in adoration. He knew the price of everything and the value of nothing. I hope Hodinkee learnt their lesson with that guy.
