About Holden

I’m Holden Richardson, a watch collector. I built Holden’s Watch Desk for my own collection, and I run it myself from Michigan.

Watch Desk started as a tool for me. I wanted one place for the watches I own and the ones I’m thinking about, with sourced research behind every one. At last count it held 161 watches and 889 sources (). Now I’m opening it to other collectors, with the same research and ranking I use, in their own private accounts.

Soon I’ll write up one new release a day at most, with my take and the sources behind every fact. My research is personal, not a source of truth, so check before you buy.

You can find me on Instagram at @holdenswatchdesk. My YouTube channel is coming, where I work through these decisions at this desk. Email me at holden@holdenswatchdesk.com.

Research any watch with sources, rank your wishlist, and see what to buy first.
