I wouldn't really say I collect watches, because I consider a collector to be someone who has specific knowledge, looks for certain makes and models, knows which ones are valuable and which are junk, etc., but I have a lot of watches. My wife and I, between us, have 40 or 50 watches, mostly mechanical (manual or automatic wind, but without batteries). I do have 5 or 6 watches that are really computers, but those don't count.

I posted a picture of one pocket watch in the "What's the oldest thing you own?" thread.

The nice thing about collecting watches is that they don't take up much room, as opposed to typewriters, motorcycles or full-size train cars.
