I first became aware of Jimmy O. Yang because of his role on Silicon Valley as Jian-Yang, a character whose occasionally menacing, always scene-stealing deadpan made the HBO series a must-watch comedy. From there, the Hong Kong-born actor, comic, and writer went on to the silver screen (Crazy Rich Asians), an Amazon stand-up special (Good Deal), a sitcom opposite Steve Carell and John Malkovich (Space Force), and most recently, a starring role in the holiday-season rom-com Love Hard.
Yang's is an earnest collection, one many readers will relate to. I know I did. The only difference is that while many of us have let our first watches slip away, Yang has managed to hang onto his earliest pieces, including an anime tribute to Dragon Ball Z from his Hong Kong childhood. Join us for the watches and stay for the laughs. This is your Talking Watches with Jimmy O. Yang.

A watch enthusiast who loves his watches because they have personal meaning. Not because they're good investments or high status. So amazing.

@WristwatchAddiction 2 года назад

My man brought a Dragon Ball Z & Marc Jacobs along with everything else. He gets it! Love seeing the progression in collecting. Wish more guests would bring their stuff they think nobody wants to see. That’s the stuff I crave to see most! Great collection & great video!

@guillemcorberocarreres2498 2 года назад

There's something that fascinates me from this show. It's the fact that although the vast majority of people might share the same watch, with a same reference number, etc... each person ends up having a different intricate story. I don't know, seems pretty stupid, but it's these small things that make this world so fascinating.

Loved the 女人街 reference and the mention of foiled DBZ cards. Such a nostalgic memory. Special to have a Hong Kong American on Hodinkee ! If you read this Jimmy, big fan and so nice to get some insight on your collection.

@ThisIsMyFullName 2 года назад

I always appreciate it when people buy watches to wear them and don't care about getting them beat up. All the dents and scratches are part of the history you put into your watches and the stories you tell about them. This is a great collection.

Talking Watches and Hot Ones are tied for my absolute favorite celebrity interview shows/formats, from the US at least. The stories we get are so much more engaging.

@kenyang1201 2 года назад

As a Guangdong grew up, I can totally relate to the Datejust story. The fluted bezel jubilee bracelet Datejust is exactly the image of what a watch would look like to me. I got the 36mm DJ two years ago and I also own a G-shock as well lol

I'm not Asian but loved the point about the two-tone datejust and old Asian men. Still to this day, I see old Asian men rocking that watch in spades..even at the gym. Honestly though, I see older men of all ethnicities rocking that watch. The two-tone DJ is the old man special.
