ON HIS COLLECTION, Mark Cho, The Armoury's Co-Founder, says, "These are 16 years of searching for beautiful things. Sometimes I collected the greats', but most of the time I collected the interesting, the curious and the sublime. A most interesting hour marker here and a perfectly formed case there. A wonderful complication that moved me or a moment of horological history that captured me. What unites all these pieces is that I found beauty and satisfaction in all of them. However, at the end of the day, one person can't keep everything and probably shouldn't anyway. I offer up these pieces, most of my watch collecting over the last 16 years, for the sake of my clothing store: The Armoury, one of the great loves of my life. I wish to trade these many, small and amazing things, that I have selfishly kept to myself, in pursuit of a single new expansion of The Armoury New York to be enjoyed by my colleagues and my customers."
He continues, "To the future owners of these pieces, I hope they bring you as much joy as they brought me. For new collectors, maybe something here will be a foundational piece for your own collection; and for experienced collectors, maybe something from my taste will feel fresh and new to you. I look forward to seeing these timepieces continuing their great journey in good hands with collectors and watch lovers from around the world."
These are Augustman's favourites.
