He may have fallen in love with horology by accident, but his passion for watches is very much alive to this day
With an impressive number of followers on his Instagram page, it is clear that Derrick Yeo, 34, takes his passion for some wrist candy seriously. He tells us more about his love affair with watches that started over a decade ago.
Currently in love with his Richard Mille RM 055, the director at a manufacturing firm admits he fell in love with horology by accident. What started off as rewarding himself with a “decent automatic Swiss-made watch” at age 22 eventually grew into a full-blown obsession. “I love watches because they can last forever. While women have bags and jewellery, a watch is probably one of the most important accessories for men,” says Derrick. And being a millennial, he constantly documents his passion for watches on his Instagram account—his posts about his collection and potential acquisitions have garnered him some 100,000 followers.
