Most watch collectors remember the moment the obsession really began. For some, it’s the first watch they ever bought. For others, it’s a piece tied to family, travel, or a milestone that marks a new chapter in life. In this episode of On Time, Lex Borrero sits down with Kahlil from the Miami Watch Club to explore the story behind his watch collection and the experiences that shaped it. Kahlil shares how his interest in watches started long before he purchased his first piece, watching his father wear watches growing up. Over time that curiosity turned into a deeper appreciation for collecting, eventually leading to a moment many collectors can relate to: buying his first Rolex GMT before he even bought furniture. Throughout the conversation, Kahlil walks us through the watches that define his collection today and the philosophy behind how he collects. From Rolex sport models to independent brands like H. Moser & Cie, the discussion explores how taste develops over time and why the best collections are often built around personal meaning rather than market trends. We also dive into the deeper side of collecting, how certain watches become markers of life chapters, how travel and family influence collecting decisions, and why some pieces are meant to be passed down to the next generation.
