In a thought-provoking exploration, WatchProSite contributor Cookies delves into the 'Mastermind' personality type, or INTJ, and its potential influence on luxury watch collecting. This article examines how the unique traits of INTJs—their drive, confidence, and preference for quality over quantity—might manifest in their horological choices. Cookies illustrates this theory by analyzing the collections and preferences of notable figures like Arnold Schwarzenegger, Russell Crowe, and James Cameron, inviting readers to consider the psychological underpinnings of watch collecting.
The Sea-Dweller reference 116600 marked the return of the 40mm case size for the model, a dimension that had been absent from the Sea-Dweller lineup for some time. This reference reintroduced several classic Sea-Dweller design elements, distinguishing it from its larger contemporary, the Sea-Dweller 4000. It was produced for a relatively short period, making it a notable transitional model within the brand's professional tool watch offerings.
This reference features a stainless steel case measuring 40mm in diameter and 15.3mm in thickness. It is equipped with a unidirectional rotating bezel made of black ceramic with a 60-minute graduation. The watch is powered by the automatic caliber 3135, offering a power reserve of approximately 48 hours. A sapphire crystal protects the black dial, which includes a date complication without the cyclops lens, a characteristic feature of the Sea-Dweller line.
Appealing to collectors who appreciate traditional proportions and the technical capabilities of a professional dive watch, the 116600 is recognized for its blend of heritage design and modern materials. Its limited production run contributes to its appeal among enthusiasts seeking a Sea-Dweller with a more classic case size and specific aesthetic details, such as the matte-like black dial and the absence of the cyclops over the date.
Pol Pot and Joseph Stalin are theorized to be an INFJ Mao is theorized to be the ENFJ The NFJ spheres is likely to confer mass-followers, be it good or bad. I will snoop around.
Where Russell explains why he bought the watches, the PAM story is a nice one. Very likeable chap! youtu.be

I did a quick Myers and Briggs test. I am an INTJ. Than i check my personality, like which hobbies, interests, and behavior. I like to construct cities, infrastructure, political systems, make laws and rules. Design products, form lands and Unions. When i chose a country which is in my eyes a perfect country for people, animals and nature, Switzerland wins. Watches and than with interesting mechanical movements are my favorite. Myers and Briggs is not science, only used by companies to form good
Yes, it has been extensively debated against. Originating from perhaps Carl Jung, and made up by 2 women who were not even psychologists. I wonder why HR still uses it extensively to this modern day. Sometimes, I wonder if nurture has a greater impact than nature. Such is the conundrum of the INTJ - endless thinking of trends/ideals. I am quite a lonely person btw.
"selection of pieces collected over a long period of time..to mark key milestones" Nice video!
