John Goldberger doesn't play in the NBA (though, in his younger years, he could dunk a basketball -- I've seen proof). He hasn't won a Grammy, nor has he dated Jessica Simpson, Jennifer Aniston, or Katy Perry (that we know of), but even if he had, he wouldn't talk about it. What John Goldberger is is a true horological scholar and serious collector of the highest order. In episode three of talking watches, this true connoisseur of the finest watches in the world unmasks a small portion of his remarkable collection for the very first time. Included are more than a few true dream watches, including two pieces that have never been seen anywhere in the world before today. This is talking watches with mega-collector and horological author John Goldberger...

That caseback pop with a knife freshly whipped on his plaid sports jacket sleeve is likely the most badass thing I have seen thus far in my life.

@L80NuTube 8 лет назад

+Jacques Woo I bust out laughing when I saw him do that. You have to believe that was a bespoke jacket so it was cost effective to send it to the dry cleaner rather than get cheese in the watch. Like a BOSS.

@mikemills54 7 лет назад

This guy is just dripping with gentlemanly swag. I'd love to see more featuring him.

That moment when Goldberger reaches for a cheese knife and opens the back of a $2 million vintage rolex ... BOSS!!!

@albaracat5988 3 года назад

So what's boss about it? It is a metal. Even if he scratched the surface, it's easily replaceable or fixed. You know what would've been BOSS? If he poured that glass of wine inside the rolex and closed the lid, and shook that watch to soak all the parts inside..

@Temperdgrump 7 лет назад

This is by far one of the best talking watches. I keep coming back to this video to watch it one more time. John Goldberger is a true collector, brought some of the rarest birds out for us to see. Towards the end, showing off that Rolex by opening the caseback with a knife was just WoW! Makes it more amazing when you know that's a million $ watch.
