    NO PUN intended, but entrepreneur James Quan’s journey into watch collecting is all about timing

    Quan, the co-founder of stationery and leather crafts label Bynd Artisan says his interest in watches began only when he joined the workforce.

    “When you enter society, you see more and your tastes start to change, and I was also influenced by my peers and seniors,” he says.
