Interests

“ When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be. ”
- Lao Tzu


Watchmaking

Right from the the moment I got my first mechanical watch I was obsessed with the world of Horlogerie (French for Watchmaking). Initially, it was the appearance of watches that got me interested but after a while, this interest turned to the technicalities and details of timepieces. What I find most fascinating is the fact that mechanical watches, to tell the time and the date or to power sophisticated complications such as tourbillons and perpetual calendars, rely solely on the energy from self-winding or manual-winding mechanisms. And despite the invention of quartz watches and more recently smartphones, through which mechanical watches have lost most of their appreciation, the community of watch passionates has been growing exponentially. Making it hard not to get "lost in time" with the numerous specialised websites and watch forums.

Track & Field

Having been a middle distance runner on an international level allowed me to acquire a lot of self-discipline and organization necessary to keep a healthy balance between education, daily training sessions and other activities. I have had the opportunity to participate in competitions in San Francisco, Reykjavik, Milano, Brussels, Marseille and participate in training camps in Finland, Portugal and Spain. I was the 2015 National U23 Cross Country Champion and U23 5000m Champion.
