Talking Watches With William Massena

It was when he was chief operating officer of Antiquorum that I first met William – introduced by a mutual friend – and to say I was intimidated would be an understatement. This imposing, well-educated, bi-lingual true connoisseur had built quite a reputation for himself as the enforcer of Timezone – almost the true-life watch snob – a ball-breaker of the highest order. And William is all that, certainly, but he's also one of the most genuine, caring, and insightful men in the entire industry. He has seen it all, and owned it all. His influence on watches only grew when he accepted a position as a jury member of the Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève, and today, I am proud to welcome my dear friend, and someone from whom I have learned so much, to HODINKEE.
