TM does these interviews with such aplomb. For a loquacious chap, he certainly knows how to shut the flaming flip up and let his subject talk. It's both respectful and arresting. As for James Dowling, he plainly doesn't really care that much what his watches are worth. He has them and that's that. A lesson to everyone, right there.

That was by far the best RU-vid watch content I’ve consumed in a long, long, long time. Thank you

So true

@strapped2time 2 года назад

Dowling is a legend. What a great interview. A watch lover through and through. Not into fads or hype… his passion is refreshing and intoxicating.

@jimmillett9224 2 года назад

Another masterclass in interviewing by Tim. Would love to see more interviews with James Dowling..fascinating stuff.

Hi Jim - If you haven't seen it yet, check out this interview with James from Dubai Watch Week in 2019: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-T4FtcC74QWU.html

Thank you Tim what a great interview, I've never heard of James Dowling . The watches he showed us are some of most unique and different than I've ever seen.

@the1916company 2 года назад

If you cant get enough of James and Tim, check out this one from 2019: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-T4FtcC74QWU.html

@juniorjohnson5961 2 года назад

@@the1916company Thank you for responding to this 68 year old man's comment. I'm surprised that a company as big as yours takes the time to read and comment back . I really enjoyed the 2019 interview. I still have my My two-tone Datejust with silver linen dial I bought 48 year's ago.

@Cull_Obsidian 2 года назад

I’m so glad you had James on. Many Americans may not know him, especially young/new collectors but this man is the GOAT and he’s mentions his book which is a must buy. The thing is huge and so well researched/photographed

@the1916company 2 года назад

Thanks Cull! Check out this earlier video from 2019 for more of Tim and James: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-T4FtcC74QWU.html

“…a defining thing in my life is my love for weird shit.” What a pearl of a statement! And the guy throws it out after demonstrating such a monstrous, deep knowledge of the topic. I didn’t know him, but will certainly look for his books and articles. Such a gem! Thanks Tim for a great interview and congrats for being respected and appreciated by such a legend of the watch world! PS: couldn’t care less how you wear your glasses. As far as I’m concerned you could wear a pineapple on your head. Cheers!!

@MrRoyck10 2 года назад

James Downing gives me some element of hope that you can be a true watch enthusiast own multiple Rolex watches with a deep rooted knowledge of the brand that must of us admire for its robust utilitarian movement. I love the fact that his focus is not on the vulgarity of modern Rolex watches that is symbolic to the materialistic world that we live in. Tim is a mater of production in horology and my fellow Brit James makes an interesting combination of excellent content based on advanced knowledge of watches.

@walterv7915 2 года назад

@jolness1 2 года назад

Heck yeah! Loved the last interview with James Dowling, excited to see another. Been meaning to watch this since it came out yesterday but finally have the chance. These talks are fantastic content and I have rewatched a few others. Tim does a great job at these and they feel natural and fluid.

@tockingwatches2377 2 года назад

Great commentary. It’s likely that those paying super premiums on what’s hot now will look back in 20 - 30 years similarly.

@TheJonCruise 2 года назад

@YongJoonPaek 2 года назад

Wow, what a treat of a video. Dowling is just such an amazing source of watch collecting knowledge and wisdom. You can also just feel the raw passion in his voice and expression. Truly amazing stuff. I feel like Tim is the millennial Dowling. We are living through a passing of a generational torch in our hobby.

Dowling's eye-watering sock/shoe combination pays tribute to a Pepsi bezel - literally a Rolex man to his toes! Fascinating discussion, too.

@GCPlati85 8 месяцев назад

This was a joy to watch, a great example of the man makes the watch. But also when you have watches like this, the watch makes the watch. Jesus.

@zgfvavw3037 2 года назад

Awesome and very wise advice

@crh7742 Год назад

Every major watch event should include a talk with JD. He's forgotten more than most watch scholars will ever learn. True what he says about fashions and whims. ALWAYS buy what you like, not what's supposedly "cool".

@steviedj6730 2 года назад

Watched this about 5 times. The more i watch it the more i see the similarities between James and Tim. They're the same person 30 years apart! And that's meant as a compliment to both! 🤣👍

@dlb44 2 года назад

It would be cool to have a screen-on-screen experience where the watch being discussed is placed under the second camera so we can see what's being discussed.

@Sebastian85 Год назад

Watch collectors can learn more from James Dowlings`s opening sentences in this video than from hundreds of watch influencer videos.

@craigeastwood9941 2 года назад

Hi Tim, technical question on the Rolex Perpetual Calendar prototype - how do you read it? It's only got three hands, when all perpetuals I've seen have multiple dials to tell day, date, leap year, etc. What am I missing?

@user-gl5ld9vm7i 2 года назад

Hi Tim. Great content. Question, is your personal style trademark to always wear your wraparound sunglasses on your head?

The blue LV watch, I’ve only seen a blue like that with Ulysse Nardin. Other than than, it’s a VERY unique blue

Tim Mosso is so far ahead of everyone else on that side of the industry in terms of knowledge and eloquence in the way he writes/talks about watches that it just feels disappointing to hear about watches from anyone else.

one big worry and concern if one spend 100K on beta21 quartz. these are unlikely to be repairable or serviceable....what happens if it conks out ???? just throw away 100K ???

@tomasinacovell4293 2 года назад

A lot to think about... until you think about it.

@Nuclear__HS 2 года назад

Wonderful video with a wonderful collector, but frankly I think the title of the video betrays its contents. There are a lot of people out there who are sick of Rolex, and this video only having 2 in it and then having the video named after them, is both somewhat disingenuous to the viewer who was looking for Rolex, and a disservice to those who passed over the video because it was labelled as being ABOUT Rolex. If EngineerWannabe's watch talk livestream hadn't highlighted this video as something interesting and with more to offer than its title suggests, I likely would not have given it the time of day. Just my two cents.

@ulrichk7727 2 года назад

I like James' "off the beaten track" collection but would find it very difficult to talk with him for more than 5 minutes. He has a very awkward communication style and almost never makes eye contact

@koolpep 2 года назад

Having talked to James during DWW, I can tell you is very pleasant to talk to and he does make plenty of eye contact in normal settings with the person he talks to, maybe not the camera though.

@Nick-sd7um 2 года назад

I almost prefer to talk with people who don't make constant direct eye contact.
