MEET THE CURATORS
Andrew Robinson
Co-founder of Leather & Lume
"I have always been fascinated by watches. The perfect combination of beautiful art and personal expression are what get me.
Watches have stories, and I'm on a mission to uncover and share them. My goal isn’t to curate expensive watches; rather to share my passion and the unique tales of these pieces with friends, family, and all who are interested.
My journey in collecting started while traveling with the Army, where I discovered pieces from all over the world. Each watch has a past and a story worth telling."
Andrew is from Cincinnati, Ohio. He attended Thomas More University and currently resides in Washington DC.
“The concept of time is uniquely a human idea. We create it to keep track of our drift through the infinite vacuum of space.
In our attempt to measure it, we couldn’t help but make it appealing to our artistic senses.
I thank my friends for exposing me to this expression of art and science. Each timepiece helps us remember our history while establishing a tale of their own.”
