Watches: What Makes Me Tick – Metallica’s Mr Kirk Hammett

Mr Kirk Hammett is a collector. “I’m a habitual collector, bro!” he says emphatically. “My friend called me the other day and said, ‘Why do you collect plastic bags?’ And I thought, ‘I’ve been completely rumbled here’ – because I do. I have OCD and collect anything. I’m at that age when I can look back on my life and see patterns when I go hard on buying certain things – guitars, vehicles, watches, horror memorabilia, comics…” Hammett is, of course, also the lead guitarist of Metallica and considered one of the best heavy metal guitarists in the world. He joined the band in 1983, barely into his twenties, and never looked back. Having grown up “with very little”, when he found himself with some disposable income, he went large on the shopping.
