Paintings conservator. I like watches that show their age honestly, and a little colour. — 4 lots · Watches · Collector since 2004

Oris ProPilot X Calibre 400 — pink dial

Lot 0004 · @maren.dials

Pink dial, and it cheers me up every time I check the time. My studio is all brown varnish and grey canvas, so it earns its place. Photo: Oris.

Rolex Commando

Lot 0003 · @maren.dials

Plain black dial, steel bracelet, nothing extra. It's the watch I put on when I want to stop thinking about watches. Photo: Loupe This.

Rolex Mosaic Date Reference 1501 - Blue / Silver

Lot 0002 · @maren.dials

A 1501 from around 1971 with a blue mosaic dial. The engine-turned bezel catches the light the way an old gilded frame does, and I spend my working days with those. Photo: Kith.

Tank Louis Cartier

Lot 0001 · @maren.dials

Roman numerals, a rail track and a strap the colour of old varnish. My mother wore a Tank and I borrowed the habit along with her taste. Photo: GQ.
