THE HOME OF WATCH CULTURE

Jason Lee

“Hi I’m Jason, and I am timed by curiosity, not a mainspring.”

Jason began making art at seventeen, teaching himself to create freely as his interests in photography, filmmaking, and writing took shape.

He is a graduate of New York University’s prestigious Film & TV and Journalism programs, where he received the NYU Founders Day Award for academic and artistic excellence.

A Scholastic Art & Writing Awards Silver Key recipient, he has exhibited and sold photographs in noted galleries, with features in both print and online publications. Beyond his creative work, Jason is an independent watch enthusiast with no formal affiliations to the luxury brands he covers professionally. He explores both vintage and modern timepieces—an interest that began more than a decade ago with his first luxury watch, a rose‑gold Baume & Mercier Classima.
