The world of watches is a small one, and if invited to a few of the larger international horological events, one begins to realize that there are indeed some special people without which the landscape simply wouldn't be the same. Wei Koh, the founder of Revolution Magazine is one of them. He is a connoisseur of, well, life. Whether it be vintage motorcycles, fine shoes, great wine, or indeed watches, Wei Koh is the definition of a tastemaker. And today, we're talking watches.

Somebody who tells stories instead of spewing watch facts.. Great man, great episode

@Minntality 5 лет назад

This is also why i'm a big fan of Wei Koh. We all love nerding out on watch facts but the stories are what keep us all coming back.

@tytytyme33 5 лет назад

Yeah his watches are independent, therefore have no classy astethics

Very original. This guy knows exactly what he wants, he doesn't seem to mind the fact that Ralph Lauren doesn't share his taste in watches😁 Also very well spoken.

If hodinkee posted a talking watches once a week they would be a top 100 channel on RU-vid

@Ax07605 6 лет назад

Yeah but then you got to focus on quality of guest, and there's not that many die hard watch collectors, where really a rare breed

@mrebear9758 2 года назад

It'd get boring - same old Rolex's, APs and Pateks each week. The more selective format is better (and still, at times, gets a bit samey).

@Lipton_Kizzle 6 лет назад

this episode is the best one ever, its literally just Wei Koh talking about his stories and the history behide his watches and its great, hoodinkee please find for people like Wei Koh

@victorl.9569 6 лет назад

This is the kind of Talking Watches video that originally brought me to Hodinkee. It hit all the marks: engaging guest, interesting watches, fascinating stories -- every minute of it was pure gold.

@TheOneInYellow 6 лет назад

Now THAT is a great collection. Price was not the reason Koh bought those pieces, but because each piece actually had a meaning, from design to art to history, to him. Omega, URWERK, Richard Mille, Panerai, etc; all fantastic pieces! I also hope that he gets his father's Rolex back to him one day (good luck!)

@WristwatchAddiction 6 лет назад

TheOneInYellow dude, I could not agree with you more! Original, meaningful, perfect. 👍

@danielvilla4097 6 лет назад

This was the best episode ever. No PP, but the guest kept you entertained and did a great job describing the story behind each watch as well as incorporating them to life experiences and friendships.

@adhynugroho9424 5 лет назад

I would assume that if everyone there could afford an RM watch, paying for the meal and drinks wouldn't be a big problem.

@cliffwheeler7357 6 лет назад

Wei Koh is a great guy and a true connoisseur of horological craftsmanship. A superb and unusual collection, those three Speedmasters were incredible. This episode of talking watches was so entertaining, unlike the one a couple of weeks ago with that rapper guy. He rolls up with a case full of Pateks and expects everyone to kneel down in adoration. He knew the price of everything and the value of nothing. I hope Hodinkee learnt their lesson with that guy.

See, this is what watch collecting is all about. Not just saying, well I became successful and I had money so I got these name-brands. No. There is a story and journey that you take with each piece and this collection itself is extremely beautiful and well diverse. Love it.

The funny thing is even with the creepy mustache he's a freaking cool guy. But I'm no one to speak about mustaches... when I grow only the mustache I look like a sexier version of Pablo Escobar. Really creepy.

I enjoyed this episode because This guy's collection was very different than most people featured on this channel. But in my humble opinion I was not a fan of the first 3 watches, but to each their own. The AP was different, I'm so used to seeing the steel bracelet one. Loved The VC and The Omegas. Great episode!
