The Guitar Hero

Tell us more about yourself.

"I’m a 30 year old father to be. Been living in London for most of my adult life and now splitting my time between Stockholm and London (under non pandemic circumstances). I’m lucky enough to be working with two of my biggest passions in life, music and vintage watches."

You seem to have an impressive guitar collection. Is it possible to have too many guitars?

"I’ve definitely got a collectors vein and I’m always on the hunt. I’m probably the wrong guy to answer this question, but in my opinion the simple answer is no! Being a songwriter they are also tools for me. They are to me what a colour palette is to a painter. I tend to collect vintage guitars that have been used and loved over the years. Imagine the life a beaten up 60’s Fender Stratocaster has lived."

Besides the guitars, your passion for vintage watches has not passed us by. What's so fascinating about watches?

"There’s nothing more rewarding than hunting down vintage tool watches that have been a part of someone's everyday life and have an aesthetic that reflects that. I like watches that have been worn and that have developed attractive patina. It can be everything from a nicely faded diving bezel, to lume dots that have turned to a warm custard colour or a black dial turning brown. Match that with a gorgeous handmade calf strap and you have something you can’t find in today’s watch catalogs."
