Great article on Mayer over at T mag, NY Times. We are big Rolex fans, more "fans" than "collectors" unfortunately. I think its safe to say that any fan of John Mayer knows that the kid has a thing for watches.
“When I started to make a little bit of scratch, I thought it was time
to get a Rolex,” he said, recalling the swagger with which he picked

success — like his first Grammy, which he’d won for “Wonderland” — it
wasn’t long before it was not enough. “I get very into something. I
want to research it and check it out,” he said. “The Rolex was just
kind of the first rung on the ladder. I remember people saying, ‘Oh,
Rolex is all right, but IWC makes a great watch. Audemars Piguet makes
a great watch.’ So I go, ‘What’s IWC?’ ”
