The Countdown | Collecting Vintage Watches, Guitars, and Cars
A recent visit to Stoll & Co. in Dayton, Ohio, revealed the impressive operation run by Ron Stoll and his daughter Emily, featuring 40 watchmakers. The newsletter introduces "The Countdown," a collector's insight structured in a 3-2-1 format, highlighting three defining watches, two beloved objects, and one piece of advice. Among other roundups, the piece discusses the flaws in traditional watch collecting advice and explores the rarity and significance of various vintage timepieces, including a Heuer 'Skipperera,' a Patek Philippe 'First Series,' and a rare Rolex Daytona 'Paul Newman.' It also features collector Mitch Katz, who shares his experiences and preferences in collecting watches, guitars, and cars, emphasizing the nuances of condition and personal connection to each piece. Additionally, the inaugural Coconut Grove Jewelry & Watch Show is highlighted as an upcoming event for enthusiasts.
