Building a Watch Collection from a Woman’s Perspective

Jack Forster sits down with Eleonor Picciotto to explore building a watch collection from a woman’s perspective. Eleonor shares her personal journey in watch collecting — from childhood Flik Flaks and early gift watches to meaningful milestones like her Cartier Must de Cartier, Panerai Luminor, Hublot Big Bang, and eventually purchasing her own Bulgari Serpenti. Together, Jack and Eleonor discuss how women approach watch collecting philosophies and collecting methodologies compared to men, and how factors like sentiment, lifestyle, and personality shape a collection. They highlight the balance between investment watches and personal pieces, the role of women’s watches in horology, and the growing recognition of women as serious collectors in the watch industry. Whether you’re just starting your collection or expanding it, this conversation touches on watch history, collecting strategies, evolving tastes, and the philosophy of collecting what you love.
