Hi, I have just joined the forum but have been collecting watches for a while. The majority of my watches are Japanese, but I have also, over the years, acquired watches from Switzerland, Germany, Austria and China.
I have a fairly wide variety of watches which has included tuning forks, spring drive, battery-powered mechanicals, quartz, auto-quartz and solar quartz, manual and automatic wind mechanicals, high frequency quartz, thermocompensated quartz and everything in between. I have a fairly representative sample of offerings from Swatch and Casio at one end, through to Grand Seiko, The Citizen and Omega at the other end, with Junghans, Longines, Habring2 and a couple of more obscure brands making up the difference.
The main focus of my collection has been on vintage high frequency quartz watches. Omega kicked off the high frequency game in 1974 with their 2.4 MHz Marine Chronometer. A year later Citizen responded with the infamous Crystron 4 Mega, featuring a 4.2 MHz oscillator and spec'd to just 3 seconds per year. My collection includes representative examples of most 4.2 MHz movements, including watches from Citizen, Casio and Junghans, as well as a rare prototype 4.2 MHz watch from Omega.
