That's cool. I believe he's on hiatus from his day job these days.

Sadly he is. I had tickets to his concert that was supposed to happen last week but he had to cancel his whole tour due to throat injury.

Man, when I saw this post I was thinking.... not THE John Mayer, is it? And damn if it isn't.

That is very cool, congrats on snagging a fine contributor. Very cool article by him, too. I love his thoughts on collectors and collecting, as well as his appreciation for a wide range of watches. .... From G's to $100's of g's.

Out of the loop. I had to google him. Never heard of him.

One of the best musicians and guitarists of my generation IMO.

The articles should be a fun read.

not a fan

at least he has good taste in watches

bshappy · Post by **bshappy** » Fri Apr 13, 2012 10:05 am

IIRC his collection is worth north of 5 million. That includes a Patek sky moon.

A pantheonic collection he's got for sure, but I like how he gets the hobby. It's not about the $$$, or if it is, it's because the watches are actually more interesting at that level. I bet his columns will actually be pretty informative.

I do believe that this gentleman is Red Bar material...

I'll get right on it.

He does snag some nice tail though.

If you make this happen I'll fly back from school to attend. Keep a brother in the loop.

That's cool as hell. And you guys get him to Red Bar - what's next?! A DWC membership?!

Goddam, the rent here is already high.

Isn't there actually a vintage Rolex named after him?

It's a controversial Daytona dial.
