Alex O’Loughlin hit Milk Studios last night where he celebrated IWC Schaffhausen and their partnership with the Charles Darwin Foundation in Los Angeles. Alex was showing off his nice watch.

Alex revealed recently that he is very fond of watches and actually has a collection of them. Although, the collection is missing one important watch that he loves.

“I collect watches. I love them. I’ve been obsessed with watches since I was a boy. My grandfather had a watch. Before he died, he used to turn wood, make beautiful tables. At his workshop, he had this old watch. It was, like, stainless steel with a black face, some old Swiss watch. He would keep it in one of the drawers in his workshop.He was an old, gruff Aussie man, so he’d growl at me when I’d go into the workshop. So I’d sneak in — because he had sharp tools, lathes, dangerous stuff. I’d go in and think, ‘It’s so deadly in here.’ I’d go in his drawer, and I’d open it and the watch was this big thing.

“It was cold, and I’d put it to my face. It was cold, metal, heavy. It was like a story in his life. It had dings in it. I remember looking at it when we’d go fishing. So from that point, I’ve always had this thing with watches.”

I love watches too. The bigger the face better. Maybe one day Alex and I could compare collections.
