Rock Star Watch!

JLC Sighting!

Being an international man of mystery has been very shagadelic for me. Hello Vicka! I get to eat and chill and you know? in the coolest places around the world. I was recently at one of my favorite spots in Hollywood, The Velvet Margarita. You may think this is a gentleman’s club by the name, but actually it’s one of the hippest and coolest Latin themed lounges around. I was there for a dear friends birthday Michael Mosbach and it was really chill and private, and it was a fucking blast. In the back patio of Velvet’s is this really cool rock and roll feeling outdoor space that makes you feel that your in the spirit of 1977 in NYC, minus the drugs and filth. The sea of people that were invited to this private gathering were from all walks of life. You had modeling agents, Hollywood publicists, models, Rock Stars, and behind the scenes industry movers.

In my personal experience, Rock Stars have been quite difficult to socialize with. But I must say in this particular instance, I was blown away, when I was introduced to Neil Peart of the Legendary band RUSH, who is arguably one of the best drummers of our time. It was an honor to meet someone you grew up listening to, and then to top it all off, to be able to have a normal conversation and especially for me to talk watches with him was purely amazing. Neil was very low key, and very real, and one could never tell or know by looking or talking to him that he happens to be one of the greatest living rock Legends of all time.

Neil was wearing the very cool JLC AMVOX Le Mans edition, which I noticed immediately. When I asked him what watch he wears? and as he pulled up his sleeve, we both said, “AMVOX” at the same time. He then proceeded to tell me that he has some Patek’s and even a JLC Reverso. Neil has great taste and I was truly honored and thrilled to be around someone so well versed and respected. Not since my good friend Rock Legend and famed guitarist of the Cars Elliot Easton, have I met such an honorable and nice musician who is the best at what he does without attitude.
