In the early 1980s, I began an effort to develop the definitive list of James Bond watches.
When it comes to that subject today, I’m known as “The James Bond Watch Guy.”
While my internationally heralded discovery of the original James Bond watch (as defined by Ian Fleming himself) remains a signature accomplishment in this regard, my interests go much further.
