A collector’s journal

MidlifeCrisisWatches is a journal of mechanical artistry, independent watchmaking, and the quiet obsession of collecting. It exists to document a personal journey through horology — the pieces acquired, the pieces let go, the makers who keep the craft alive, and the small moments of wonder that justify the whole endeavor.

Entries here are long-form by design. Reviews, reflections, interviews, and the occasional confession. Written from Boston and New York, on no particular schedule, with no particular agenda beyond telling the truth about what it’s like to care this much about a small machine on your wrist.
