My mother's German and she has this old school thinking of you know whatever she

managed to get or someone gave her she held on to it and I'm a bit old fashion in

that way that I get attached to my things that I own. Is it the smartest thing? No, you know, does it make the most sense? Probably not.

When you buy something and you start using it, you build a relationship with it. Today people get bored of things very quickly, they sell it, they move on.

between Ben and collector Edmund Sarin.

He splits his time between Zurich and New York,
