Delugs Ambassador: Trish @watch_girl

We are pleased to introduce Trish (@watch_girl_life) from NSW, Australia as our Delugs Ambassador!

Read on to learn more her favourite watch brand and complication, her hobbies, why she decided to join the Delugs Ambassador Program, and more.

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

I am just an Aussie watch girl / watch enthusiast that loves taking photos. Not just watches. I spend time shooting landscapes, lifestyle and family photos. I used to have a wedding photography business years ago.

When and how did you get into watches?

I have always loved watches, a passion that was inherited from my Dad. His love for Seiko is where it all started. He work a Seiko “Tank” on his wedding day. The first watch he bought for me was a Seiko Kinetic. A watch I still have. My real love for mechanical watches started with my first Rolex. An Oyster Perpetual 36mm. I purchased it preowned in 2019. It started me on a spiral of collecting watches.

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

Other passions of mine. I play guitar, I love spending time away at the beach and relaxing. I love to spend time with my family. I also collect old wares / antiques. This collection has grown and is typically used in many of my watch photos.

What is your favourite watch brand and why?

This is a hard one to answer. If I had to pick a brand it would be Tudor however I have a soft spot for Rolex, Oris and Omega.

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

The Milgauss Z Blue. I was on a waitlist for it for a long time. I hoped to get a call before it was discontinued and never thought it would happen. Luckily just before it was discontinued I received the call from the AD.

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

I am typically a time only watch lover. I do love Chronographs. At the moment I am constantly eying off a JLC Revero Duoface and a Rolex GMT Explorer 2 or a Pepsi.

Do you have any daily rituals related to watches?

Yes - too many to talk about. The one I definitely do each day is set the watch to the exact second.

Why did you decide to join the Delugs Ambassador program?

I want to elevate the Delugs' presence in Australia. There isn't a lot of female watch photographers in Australia. I have a goal that being part of the program will benefit both segments.
