Marking milestones with timepieces
Watch collector Stephanie Soh shares personal stories behind each piece
IT MAY have been years since Stephanie Soh wore her first watch but she still treasures it now as much as when she first received it.
The self-winding Bradley watch, with Mickey Mouse on its face and yellow leather straps, was given to her by her father for her fifth birthday. The Mickey Mouse fan says: “I think he chose this one for me because it didn’t require batteries.”
She wore it till she was 12, when she received a second watch for scoring well in her PSLE.
