A collecting journey:

Whether it’s finding watches for the collection, going hands-on with a piece from a new brand, or deep-diving into the archives of vintage, I hope you’ll enjoy my work here. And who knows, maybe you’ll learn something, or teach me something in return!

About me:

I work at a university as a faculty member while I’m pursuing my doctorate. The scholarship of it all is where I live (well, besides where I live in a literal sense here in Boston), and so this project was really born out of a desire to put all of that research somewhere tangible. I’ve always been a book-nerd, so it makes sense that I’m a nerd for other things, doesn’t it?

Get in touch:

Feel free to comment here on anything I’ve written, email me directly at mdianton@bu.edu, and find me on Instagram @newenglandwatches - always happy to connect!

Ins-and-outs on eBay:

Can’t keep everything! Watches and clocks that I’m selling can be found here:

Brand Partnerships and Affiliate Links:

I’ve been fortunate enough to meet some great people in and around the watch community, some of whom have partnered up with me to provide discount codes and/or affiliate links to help support the blog (and make it easier for you all to find that next watch/watch-related accessory, of course). Below are the brands and their links, and each one marked with a * indicates that a purchase using that particular code and/or link sends a little bit of $ back here into the blog. I appreciate your support, and if you represent/are connected with a brand that would be interested in a collaboration/partnership, give me a shout!
