How did I come to start TimeCraft
Thank you for taking the time to visit our site. My name is Michael Y. Wang, I am founder and owner of TimeCraft.
Just like many of you, my fascination with watches started with Casio. I remember how much I loved using the calculator watch to pass the boring time during my middle school years. As I grew older, my interest in mechanical watches grew as well. Even though I still collect G-Shocks to this day, nothing is more captivating than strapping on a complicated miniature machine powered by our own kinetic energy.
Owning my first mechanical watch, the Tag Heuer Aquaracer 500M, brought me immense happiness and pride. It quickly became my daily escape from the world, and I found solace in learning about watches and watchmaking. The beauty, ingenuity, and tradition of these man-made wonders gave me a sense of comfort and relaxation, inspiring me to appreciate the finer things in life and to always strive for excellence. Through my love for watches, I have made new friends and reconnected with old ones. I was struck by the multitude of people who share my passion for watches, and this has inspired me to continue learning and exploring this fascinating world.
