Summary

To call Michael Weisberg a watch dealer doesn’t really do him justice. In addition to selling watches (and really damn good ones, I might add), he also deals in vintage design and furniture, classic cars, art, and more. From classic Rolex sport watches or rare Prouvé chairs, Sol Lewitt wall drawings or a vintage Ferrari, Michael is your guy. We sat down with Michael in LA to talk his career path, the state of the collecting community, and how his various interests all intersect. Enjoy.
