Today marked a significant milestone in my watch collecting journey with the arrival of my first Swiss timepiece—a Tissot PRX in rose gold with a gorgeous blue dial. The PRX's 1970s-inspired aesthetic and integrated bracelet make it the perfect dress watch for job functions and dinner parties.
With my second Swiss watch already on the horizon, a Hamilton Auto Chrono Day Date in titanium, I'm building a thoughtful, cohesive collection rooted in Swiss watchmaking excellence. The Hamilton will serve as my daily beater, replacing my first Citizen Garrison, offering practical day-date functionality, while the Tissot handles my dressier occasions. This two-watch foundation represents more than just acquisitions; it's the 2nd Chapter of a collecting philosophy of “Collect Smarter, Not Harder”.
