Delugs Ambassador: Jeffrey @slenderwristhk

We are pleased to introduce Jeffrey (@slenderwristhk) from Hong Kong as our Delugs Ambassador!

Read on to learn more his favourite watch brand and complication, his hobbies, why he decided to join the Delugs Ambassador Program, and more!

Can you tell us a bit about yourself and your background?

I am a Corporate Communication Manager in an NGO based in Hong Kong, also a 5.5-inches-wrist watch enthusiast. Started building my IG profile in 2021 as a project to keep abreast of social media trend, and what better way to do that than by sharing my humble watch collection as content?

When and how did you get into watches?

I've always wanted to get a watch for myself, but back in the days when the standard size of watches was 42mm, I never encountered any new releases that fit my wrist. That is, until a friend of mine showed me his vintage Rolex back in 2020. Instantly, I decided to get one for myself because of the vintage vibe, the wearable size, and the affordable price at that time. I do own some new watches now, but vintage pieces are still my all-time favourite.

Apart from watches and photography, what are some of your other passions or hobbies?

When you're into watches and photography, you can seldom afford other passions or hobbies. LOL. That said, I do love lying on the beaches during summertime.

What is your favourite watch brand and why?

I love a lot of brands for their history and characteristics. If I could only choose one, I would pick Patek Philippe. I've owned a vintage Golden Ellipse 3548 and a Calatrava 3923, just can't resist their classic elegance.

What is the one watch in your collection you never thought you would own, and why?

Nomos Club Campus Endless Blue. I usually pick something subtle and the colorful dial of Nomos should not be my type. However, it really caught my eyes and it becomes my perfect summer watch now.

Are there any specific watch complications or features that fascinate you the most?

Minute repeater I guess, because I've never owned one.

Do you have any daily rituals related to watches?

Pick the watch to wear first, decide what to dress later.

Why did you decide to join the Delugs Ambassador program?

I have been a not-so-frequent customer since 2022, and throughout the years, I've noticed that Delugs doesn't stay in their comfort zone by making leather straps only. Instead, they put a lot of resources into R&D and continue to surprise us with new products like the CTS and Delcro.

Having a small wrist meant that I had no options for rubber straps in the market until the CTS appeared. You have no idea how happy I was when I could finally pair my watches with a rubber strap that fits my wrist perfectly. By joining this program, I want to share the joy throughout the journey, letting my friends see what I see and feel what I feel.

Top 5 favourite Delugs products?

Can I say just CTS, CTS, CTS, CTS and CTS? LOL

1. CTS Rubber - Extremely comfortable to wear, with a Cut-to-Size design that can fit perfectly on my small wrist – it's just perfect.

2. Spring Deployant Clasp - Allows me to put on my watches with leather straps without fear of dropping them. It is the best thing to replace all my pin buckles. I wish it came in a few more sizes, like 14mm.

3. Cognac Shell Cordovan Slim - The versatility makes it perfect for pairing with any watch, for any occasion – dressy, casual, any dial color. It's a great all-rounder.

4. Delcro - I paired the Delcro with my Moonswatch, and it's just the best one to replace the OEM strap.

5. Taupe Epsom Slim - It is the first strap I bought from Delugs. Again, it's super versatile and looks extremely great on vintage pieces.
