Having been fascinated with watches since his high school days, the Start Up PH actor has since amassed a covetable collection of luxury timepieces.

What's more, he makes sure to get his money's worth because "it's really not for you, it's for the next generation." Press play to learn more about luxury watches and Alden's favorites.
