Most people enter watch collecting through the same few names. Big brands. Familiar designs. Safe choices. But something is changing. In this episode of On Time, we sit down with Akbar Jattar, founder of Lesablier Watches, alongside CJ, Cyrus Ramsey, and Lex Borrero of the Miami Watch Club to talk about why independent watchmaking has become the soul of modern collecting. This is a conversation about taste, identity, and belonging, and how a watch community can quietly shape the way we see design, value, and ourselves. From the story behind the Miami Watch Club x Lesablier collaboration to the late-night Miami energy that inspired its colors and form, this episode explores what happens when a watch is designed by people, not marketing departments. You’ll hear why independence matters, why community taste is contagious, and why the most meaningful watches aren’t always the most expensive ones. Whether you’re wearing a G-Shock or building a six-figure collection, this episode is about finding where you belong in the journey. Because collecting was never just about watches. It’s about the people you collect them with. Subscribe for more conversations on independent watches, watch culture, and the communities shaping the future of collecting.
