Focus of your collection and approximately how many watches are in your collection?
All vintage Heuers (and Tag Heuers, see below), especially Carrera and Divers. Now stopwatches. Collection is medium sized (for now).

What other brands of watches (or other type of objects) do you collect?
Hope to have a Zenith El Primero one day, but flit between wanting a A386 or a modern striking 10th. Otherwise, enjoy a modern Longines (wonderful gift from my wife) and inexpensive mechanical tool watches (currently own Archimede and two Ball watches)

Do you own any TAG Heuers, and are they "vintage" (older) or modern?
Yes - I have vintage and new Tag Heuers. I very much consider myself a collector of both Heuer AND Tag Heuer and wish more people saw this as one company that has evolved, grown and developed into what it is today (albeit with a few dark years). My first watch was a TH 1000 series and I very much like my Carrera 1887, Monaco 2009 limited re-edition, Silverstone re-edition and many others. Seeing the DNA of the classic 1960s and 70s watches (as it was described to me in the TH boutique in Dubai when they saw my 1964 Carrera) in many of today's pieces gives me so much pleasure. David's Cal11 website perfectly demonstrates this heritage and how TH still keeps the Heuer golden age very much alive. With Calibre11.com and onthedash I cannot believe how well served us collecters are.
