Michael has been in the watch business since 1981. He became interested in watches when he started his first job at Labor28 in Berlin and needed a watch. Michael says, his interest for collecting vintage watches was sparked when he purchased his first Rolex Prince. His passion for vintage watches revolves around Patek Philippe, Rolex, Longines, Movado, Omega, Jaeger LeCoultre and Cartier. Back in the days before the internet, collecting watches meant traveling around the world to find watches at auctions, watch shows as well as meeting collectors.
With the experience and knowledge about wrist watches of nearly thirty years, Michael decided to start a second profession in 2008 in collaboration with his watchmaker at Uhren Bischoff in Berlin, Germany.
