In this episode of Wristwatch Weekly, I sit down with fellow TikTok watch creator and avid collector Cris, better known as @GatorChris.

Cris wears a different watch almost every day, owns a collection of around 40 watches and regularly travels to watch shops and events around the world. We discuss how he got into collecting, his love of microbrands, why he believes more collectors should consider homage watches and what it was really like attending Windup Watch Fair Chicago.

We also share our thoughts on three major new releases:

• Omega × Swatch Mission to the Moon 1969
• Citizen Promaster Dive 40.6mm
• Tissot Seastar 2000 Professional 44mm

Chris also reveals the watches that impressed him most at Windup Chicago, his favourite watch-shopping destination, his current dream watch and the advice he would give anyone beginning their watch-collecting journey.
