Borna Bošnjak

Borna, a pretend-engineer, attended a Time+Tide Christmas party, being the only one double-wristing.

Only a few short weeks later, he became a part of the team. A keen watch fanatic from his early teens, he was delighted to find something that would further feed his obsession. You’ll often find him complaining about lacklustre date windows and oversized cases, while eternally praising the value in vintage, regardless of the fact that all his vintage pieces run like absolute dogs. He’s also not shy of self-promotion, and would love to point you towards his Instagram page, where you’ll find his interest in watches combined with another passion of his – photography. Most of all, he finds it exceedingly strange writing about himself in third person.

My first watch: Mickey Mouse watch that my parents got me so I can learn to tell the time. I never wore it, until I found my mum had kept it untouched for all those years. I still put it on from time to time.

My favourite watch: I’d hate to have to pick one – I have several watches that combine deep personal meaning with being actually enjoyable watches. I might just have to pick out the first Polerouter I ever bought, that thing is stunning.

My finale watch: Finding the reference of my long-lost ana-digi Casio. It had a sick world map floating over an analogue dial – if you have any suggestions, email me. Please.
