Chronomania: Inside the Minds of Watch Collectors


Watch collecting occupies a unique space at the intersection of passion, identity, and investment. Is it a refined pursuit of craftsmanship, a legacy-driven impulse, or a rational act cloaked in nostalgia and precious metals? This panel examines the psychological, cultural, and economic motivations that compel individuals to acquire , and often obsess over, timepieces. From the allure of rarity to the emotional weight of heritage, we explore what drives collectors today. Is the watch on your wrist a statement, a story, or simply a symptom of the times?

Speakers:
Kevin O’Leary, Chairman, O’Shares ETF Investments and Beanstox
Dhanush, Indian Actor and Filmmaker
Kane Williamson, Cricketer & Watch Enthusiast
