Georgia Benjamin Reflects on Her Career Through Timepieces with Watches of Switzerland<\/div>\n

For many timepiece aficionados, watches are not only collectible pieces, but motifs of milestones. The pieces stand in as accomplishments \u2014 maybe you were gifted one after your first big career win, or purchased one for yourself as a meaningful marker of success. For Georgia Benjamin, a New York-based graphic designer and jewelry enthusiast, watches have always meant more than meets the eye.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Benjamin is known for her affinity for rare and vintage timepieces, which spurred her watch sourcing content and her Substack. When she isn\u2019t working her day job in tech, she moonlights as a watch professional, sharing her love for horology and bringing a feminine approach to the space.<\/p>\n

Her first ever watch was a Baby G Shock when she was just nine years old, but as she\u2019s matured, she has refined her tastes. We got an inside look into Benjamin\u2019s personal collection, where she walked us through her career in watches, sharing what each piece signified to her on a personal level. \u201cI feel that my collection is very much an expression of me,\u201d Benjamin shared, \u201cAs I\u2019ve built and maintained an archive, I\u2019ve realized that they\u2019re all little characters or little chapters in my collecting journey.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

First, the creative proudly showed off the Watches of Switzerland Vintage and Pre-Owned Cartier Santos Dumont, the first wristwatch from the brand. Its subversive, square design and two-tone construction give it a unique, vintage-informed feel.

\u201cThis is a tiny, incredible piece \u2014 and it\u2019s also the first watch that Cartier designed,\u201d she echoed, \u201cThat sort of mirrors the start of my career \u2014 my first time I\u2019m moving to New York, the first time I\u2019m diving into big corporate America, the first time I\u2019m doing all of these things that I didn\u2019t even think were possible. I also wanted to also pick a vintage watch that\u2019s more subtle. The early parts of my career were very understated and I think this pairs beautifully with that time of my life.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Next, Benjamin identified the Watches of Switzerland Vintage and Pre-Owned Piaget Opal Dial Cocktail Watch as the piece that represents her current era in life. Benjamin has now established herself in her day job, while also striking a balance as a content creator. This sophisticated piece \u2014 elevated by an exquisite, multicolored opal dial, an 18k white gold steel case and acrylic crystal \u2014 is a polished option that stands in for all of her successes thus far.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo this watch, five years ago, I didn\u2019t even know existed. This is a piece that\u2019s ultimately a jewelry piece that tells the time. It\u2019s adorned in around four carats worth of diamonds. It shows off this incredible opal dial when stone dials were really making a huge resurgence around the 80s, and people were wanting to show off their personal style \u2014 not just with jewelry, but through watches. So for me, this watch represents the fact that I\u2019m learning so much being in the watch space and that I\u2019m really carving out a name for myself during this chapter of my career,\u201d Benjamin reflected.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

For her aspirational dream piece, Benjamin selected the Watches of Switzerland Vintage and Pre-Owned Vacheron Constantin 222. The 37mm steel watch is a reissue of a historic model from the \u201870s, with eye-catching details, including a fluted bezel, integrated bracelet and a sleek sapphire glass caseback. It\u2019s a piece that oozes opulence \u2014 and it makes the perfect gift for celebrating a dream milestone. Georgia expands on her appreciation for the model: \u201cThe 222 is very much an \u2018if you know, you know\u2019 watch. Constantin is for the watch nerds. It\u2019s for the watch collectors. Even getting access to a piece like this, getting to wear a piece like this, it\u2019s an absolute grail. It\u2019s something that I only aspire to have in my collection. The cherry on the top was that it was fully gem-set. I am a sucker for diamonds. It\u2019s classic, beautiful and balanced, and I\u2019d wear it every day if I could.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI think watches tell a story regardless of who they\u2019re on or what they look like. Vintage watches, especially, come with a story. Whether you are buying something to commemorate a big work goal or a birthday \u2014 whatever it might be \u2014 that is a mark of that milestone. I think it\u2019s very poetic how they can signify chapters of our lives,\u201d she concluded.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
