Back in 2020, we featured some of our awesome dads and asked them a few questions about fatherhood and what was on their Father’s Day Wish Lists! This year, we have a new batch of dads giving us the lowdown on what’s what when it comes to being a father, plus what they are pining for gift-wise this year. Check out the original post here.
BJ Nichols – President of Reis-Nichols Jewelers
Q. How many kids do you have?
A. I have two kids—Hannah & Aaron
Q. Favorite part of being a dad?
A. I loved watching them grow up and learn new things.
Q. What’s on your wish list for Father’s Day this year?
A. The newly released TAG Heuer Monaco Special Edition is super sleek and pays homage to the all-black Monaco of the 70s. As a racing guy, this watch would be an awesome addition to my collection. I’m also a big fan of IWC’s Big Pilot’s Watches.
Brice Holden – Jewelry & Watch Consultant
Q. How many kids do you have?
A. I have three girls!
Q. Favorite part of being a dad?
A. I love seeing their personalities develop as they get older!
Q. Funniest dad moment?
A. I can’t even pinpoint one specific moment…it’s a daily occurrence for something new.
Q. What’s on your wish list for Father’s Day this year?
A. I am loving the Breitling Chronomat B01 lately—especially the blue dial model. The steel case’s finish is exceptional and I love the overall “updated vintage” look.
Josh Adams – Watch Shop Manager
Q. How many kids do you have?
A. I have 3 girls, and 1 son.
Q. Funniest dad moment?
A. My wife Missy and I never found out what gender our children were going to be. After having 3 daughters, when she was delivering our 4th child and a boy came out, I yelled “penis” to which the entire delivery room filled with laughter.
Q. Favorite part of being a dad?
A. Taking them to concerts, skateboard parks, snowboarding, sporting events, etc.
Q. What’s on your wish list for Father’s Day this year?
A. I’m a big fan of the Nomos’ Club Campus Neomatik in midnight blue. The in-house automatic caliber DUW 3001 is highly precise and I really like the contrasting dial color with the hands.
Brent Maple – Jewelry & Watch Consultant
Q. How many kids do you have?
A. 1 son named Andrew!
Q. Favorite part of being a dad?
A. Watching him grow up and be a good person.
Q. Funniest dad moment?
A. 4-year-old Andrew walks up to a big burly biker dude who is smoking and he tells him ” You know Jesus doesn’t like it when you harm your body by smoking?”
Q. What’s on your wish list for Father’s Day this year?
A. You can’t go wrong with Cartier and I can’t get enough of the Cartier Santos.
Matthew San Filippo – Jewelry & Watch Consultant
Q. How many kids do you have?
A. I have 1 child (Teddy) aka the best child.
Q. Favorite part of being a dad?
A. His goofiness. I also love getting to watch him learn different and new things so quickly.
Q. Funniest dad moment?
A. I recently got a hair cut and when my son first saw me afterward, he asked, “Why do you look like that? I like when your hair is “circle-y””.
Q. What’s on your wish list for Father’s Day this year?
A. I’m with Brent—Cartier is a classic that doesn’t miss. I’d love to own a Santos-Dumont, the navy blue alligator leather strap complements Cartier’s iconic blue crown and gives it a little more flair than the normal design.
