Malden, Massachusetts

The first watch that moved you:
Ulysse Nardin Freak Tourbillon ref. 016-88

Why:
I had never seen a "Freak" piece before this one. The unique and bold design grabbed my attention immediately and the gold and blue color scheme is also a favorite of mine.

Day-to-day at EWC:
I am part of the shipping team at EWC! Each day, I am privileged to see and experience so many interesting and unique watches before we ship them out to our clients. When I ensure clients receive their watches without worry or complication, whether through meticulous attention to detail or coordinating with our couriers, I know that's a good day's work. 

Grail:
Patek Philippe 770 Pocket Watch. In addition to the elegant, straightforward design, I love the aesthetics of a pocket watch and am fond of most anything vintage. 

The world should know:
While I try to indulge in a variety of hobbies, right now I am most taken up with gardening and nature. I enjoy the process of nurturing and caring for plants, seeing my efforts rewarded with growth or blooms, and I really love seeing the variety of life it invites into my yard like the pollinators hard at work or the baby bunnies chowing down on some of the native vegetation. I'm currently trying to transform my small front lawn into a native wildflower garden from seed. It's a work in progress, but I'm having a lot of fun and learning a lot!
