The Worn & Wound Podcast Ep. 245: Hamza Masood from WatchCharts Walks Us Through this Crazy Market and His Own Unique Collecting Strategy
This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Blake and Zach are joined by Hamza Masood. Hamza is a watch collector and enthusiast based in Seattle, and he has one of the most interesting and unique watch collections we’ve come across. The goal of his collection is to acquire the first example of every new movement technology. That means in Hamza’s watch box you’ll find the first watch to be mass produced with a Spring Drive movement, the first with a co-axial escapement, and, yes, the first quartz watch. When we met up with him at the recent Windup Watch Fair in San Francisco, we knew we had to have him on the podcast to talk about his collection. Hamza also happens to be part of the WatchCharts team, a website that collects tons of data on recent watch sales. If you’ve been following the pre-owned market recently, you know that this is a particularly interesting time to be talking to Hamza about watch valuation trends, so we spend some time discussing that as well.
