Cool little 3 and 3/4 inch Leeloo fully possible action figure from The Fifth Element! Made by Funko in 2015.

I’ve always loved this movie, and Luc Besson is one of my favorite directors!

This is probably the smallest watch in my collection, but one that has a ton of character! A really cool jump-hour movement created in 1989 for Patek Philippe’s 150th Anniversary Celebration as a brand.

The 3969 was made in both Rose Gold and Platinum, with fewer pieces produced in platinum.

The anniversary engraving on the back really makes this a special one, plus it’s “less is more” dial.

Continuing on with my “The Dark Tower” series collection- here we have book IV: “Wizard and Glass”- which may be my favorite in the series outside of The Gunslinger (Book 1).

This book is super epic in that it really starts to weave together a lot of characters, storylines, and worlds that correlate to other King works from over the decades.

A US First Edition example of one of the greatest works of non-fiction travel literature of all time: Bruce Chatwin’s “In Patagonia”.

I first read this book as a freshman in college and it has stuck with me ever since- a great book that gives an interesting glimpse into the author’s travels across the desolate landscape of Patagonia.

Bruce Chatwin has a unique writing style and offers a strong mix of history, comedy, and adventure.

Something a little different from the Genevan watch manufacturer: porcelain trays! These trays are produced in France for Patek Philippe and are handy for holding all sorts of trinkets and things. Plus- with a new tray being produced every year (and sometimes seemingly at random other intervals) they are fun to collect as the theme never stays the same!

I have collected quite a few over the years, though there are many that I am still on the hunt for! A few are depicted here-
