I’m still a baby collector when it comes to the amount of watches I have but the collection is fire (if I do say so myself) and I believe in quality over quantity. I currently have 5 that I really love but my top 2 include my 1959 AP and my Patek from 1934. Eric Wind (my watch dealer and good friend) always finds me gems. Holy grails = JLC Reverso and a Vacheron Historique American 1921 -AJ

I’ve been into collecting watches for a while now, the different movements and complications are fascinating. I love the vintage dial styles, picking up the ones they that are interesting to me and fit my daily aesthetic. Some of the brands I enjoy are 70’s era Movado’s with the Zenith dial, of course Rolex, Seiko, and omega’s. When on tour, I get the chance to hit little shops in search of new pieces.

I’ve been wanting to start wearing watches again. When I started traveling / touring - way back before cell phones were ubiquitous, online shopping possible, and the über-rapid expansion of global “sameness” hadn’t snuck up on us yet - I looked forward to going to new cities or countries and…shopping! New (well, often vintage, actually…) unique shoes, or jackets, or bags, or watches; functional souvenirs to remember where I’ve been and what I’ve done. I miss that. Anyway, either nostalgia for a time long-gone (or maybe nostalgia for a watch-wearing dad long-gone) has made me want to start wearing watches again. Look at this killer Swatch watch I got!

My Shih Tzu/Bichon mix is going to be 19 this year and I consider that pretty ancient. Her name is Willow and I’ve had her since I was 16. She even toured with us back in 2007. -AJ

My Dad gave my son a radio flyer wagon for Christmas this past year and I love going on neighborhood rides with him. I fill it with pillows and blankets for extra cushioning since he’s on the little side but I’m excited for the day when he’s pulling it himself. -Aly

Been getting my clothes dry cleaned here since I moved to Laurel Canyon with my sister. I don’t even live in LA anymore and I STILL use them. This store is ran by two amazing women and has been family owned since 1963. I’m pretty sure that Joni Mitchell, Frank Zappa and Jim Morrison got their clothes dry cleaned here but I have no real proof of this. -Aly
