My First Grail Watch: Victor Marks
Welcome back to an original watches-dealer feature, "My First Grail Watch." In this series, we ask prominent people in the watch industry about the first timepiece that they lusted after. Today, we're giving you some insight into what drives one of our team members, Victor Marks, along with some philosophical pondering on "the one that got away."watches-dealer (ABTW): Who are you, and what is your relationship to the watch industry?Victor Marks:?I'm Victor Marks, and I'm a watch aficionado and tinkerer.
