Me, Myself and My Watches
with Collector Ali Nael
We have a really nice interview to share with you as we had our friend Ali Nael who dropped by the club the other day to talk about his journey as a collector and how it came into being.
From a modest upbringing in Lebanon, Ali left the country to help his family and it took him on a full life journey.
From China, Africa and finally Singapour, he learned things the hard way before starting to focus his interest on watches.
But he acquired his knowledge one step at a time, spending weeks and months studying things, and meeting people and when you consider what a prominent collector he has become, it is really interesting and inspiring to listen to how his hobby turned out into a total passion.
One he is fully dedicated and though he only had a very few pieces of his collection with him, he explained to us more about his collection and the book the Covid period allowed him to focus on.
I hope you will enjoy this one and the very best to you, Marc André & Team
PS: of course a huge Viva Watchmaking your way ;)
