Frank Schilling and his Patek Philippe.
We’re living in an era of smartphones; the millennials are actively spending a total of 9 hours daily on them.
As such, wrist watches are a hard sell, even with the introduction of smart watches.
Whether you wear a watch as a fashion statement, or as a functional accessory that tells time, a watch is a very personal choice.
Frank Schilling bought a TAG Heuer – a poor man’s Rolex – for a few hundred when he was at high school; when his company hit $1 million dollars in sales in 2004, he spent $79,000 dollars on a Patek Philippe 5970G.
The Wall Street Journal gives coverage to Frank’s taste in classic yet sporty wrist watches, in a recent article titled “Do Men Still Crave Status Watches?”
Oddly, in an article 5 years ago we pointed out Frank’s love for quality watches, although it was a parody.
Personally, we’re partial to the Citizen Eco Drive series. 😀
