Georgia Benjamin: If Watches Could Talk

In this episode of Watch World with Faye’s Women in Watches mini-series, we sat down with watch collector and content creator Georgia Benjamin—our very first guest—to explore her love affair with vintage timepieces. From discovering her gateway Day-Date to probing the romance of a 30-year-old heirloom, Georgia shares how she broke into a male-dominated hobby, built a thriving community, and blends her design background with horological passion.

TAKEAWAYS

- Georgia’s first watch in her collection was a Rolex

- A single gem-set Day-Date ignited Georgia’s entire vintage obsession

- Vintage dials carry untold adventures from their decades-long lives

- UX-driven design—ergonomics, legibility, tactile flow—elevates every watch

- Genuine curiosity and fearless questions open doors with seasoned collectors

- Case size and color aren’t “men’s” or “women’s”—they’re personal-style statements

- Authentic brand narratives and real-world innovation outshine any celebrity hype
