Invicta to F.P. Journe: Collecting With Confidence | Collector Conversations

Shane McElwain is a collector without dogma, his journey in luxury watches started with Breitling and has brought him to independent brands like F.P. Journe, H. Moser & Cie., and Habring. With a true passion for horology, he's learned to repair timepieces, met brand CEOs, and made friends and memories along the way. What matters the most to Shane is appreciating and having fun with the watches he collects, subversive or otherwise, and he sits down with Tim Mosso to discuss all of this and more in this episode of Collector Conversations.
