Indie Spirit: Jon Cruys on Collecting, Community & Building Indies NYC

With Rashawn away in Vegas, Perri holds it down solo and sits with friend, collector, and independent watch advocate Jon Cruys. They talk about how Breguet first sparked Jon’s passion for watches, the way his time living in China reshaped his vision of community, and his latest project, Indies NYC—a new platform and trade show designed to connect independent watchmakers with collectors and enthusiasts. It’s a deep dive into collecting culture, community-building, and why the indie watch scene matters more than ever.
