Jason Lu’s fascination with mechanical objects began before he was 10 years old. His journey into the world of horology started unexpectedly at a flea market in 1982. There, he stumbled upon a watch with an integrated steel bracelet and hexagonal bolts on the bezel. Unbeknownst to him at the time, this was an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 5402ST, one of the first 1,000 ever made.
