Join our podcast: New episodes every Monday and only $5 per month! www.buzzsprout... You asked us to review the state of your watch collection, so we did! This is what we think about your watches!
This episode was humble, innocent and makes you appreciate the journey of other people's collections, it's not about spending the world it's about taste and personal journey :) Great episode !! I love the fact you were giving collections with casio F91W's and Seiko's such high scores :) love you guys!
This episode was awesome! It's so great to see collection videos made by people who really understand the hobby better than anyone else. Honestly, this has got to be my absolute favorite episode so far! Please keep making more of these - they're amazing!
Love this. One of my favorite episodes. Absolutely love seeing other people’s collections and wondering about their story and watch journey. I’ll have to submit my collection next time!
The jazz trumpeter collection was missing the Oris James Morrison Limited Edition. James Morrison is one of Australia’s most famous jazz trumpeters and the watch has a tuning fork hand. It’s really beautiful actually
The watch at the bottom left hand corner at 19:00 is actually from Humism, a indie watchmaker from my country, Singapore 🇸🇬. Funny seeing it here since I was just researching on local upcoming/microbrands haha
The concept of this episode is so much fun. I love when you guys guess on the collector's personality and the intricacies of their decisions and life experiences through just a photo of the watches. It would be super cool to do something like this again and interview everyday folks and talk to them about their collections and why they bought what they bought. RU-vid is filled with interviews of rich celebrities and their watches. I want to see a show on everyday watch collectors!
This is genuine apprectation and a connection between audience and the team. I would love to hear you guys be more opinionated and say what the collection speaks or says about them. These collections are probably nerdy collections given the audience here. I'm sure I'm one of many who wishes to be roasted by the gentleman as well! Hope this continues! Cheers, Ken
Hey About Effing Time, I have an idea for your next video of rating collections (I enjoy your content immensely btw. Big big Fan!!): How about you do an even more “academic” (sorry for pretentiousness..) rating on the viewers collections. That would make us WatchNerds geek out, and you get to really show off your WatchMojo;) I’m thinking in terms of formulating a framework for judging a collection. You can be pioneers in doing this on RU-vid! These are just some suggestions for criteria: 1.Personality: lack of dogmatic choices. Not purposely opting to please the narrative of which watches to own. For example, instead of having a Daytona and a speedy, the person has two Daytonas. Just because he really likes Daytonas. Perhaps that would be an indicator of his personality shining through. 2.Originality: in terms of straps, dials, brands etc, How generic/original is his mix of choices? 3.Tradition: is he keeping his choices in line with the classics? How well is he doing that? 4.Balance: is there a balance regarding spread of timepieces? 5.Judges own taste: here you can leave your own personal preference on the collection. Then you’ll do the math and each judge will get an aggregate score for each collection. I know that some of these criteria contradict each other in a way. But I think that’s okay. It just enables for more equality regarding the opportunities for different types of collections to gather points. Love ya!!
Great and funny episode as always🥗 Nice to see collections from other AET-watchers! Too bad you didn't pick my Seiko collection, maybe next time😋 Greetings Seikosan from Switzerland
The third collection, odd watch on bottom left. I think that’s a perpetual motion watch from a small shop in Kyoto Japan. Hard to see clearly, so I could be wrong. But if it is, it’s a cool piece.
That GShock full Ti model is one of my absolute favorites from Casio. Lightweight, solid, solar, awesome matte color scheme…top class edition. Mine will undoubtedly outlive me. 😂👍
love that you took on my idea gents. Andrew- I'm considering pulling the trigger on the Hublot Stormtrooper after our interaction a while back. saw it in person- a real stunner. keep up the great work guys.
this is my favorite episode so far...it literally allows watch junkies "behave" like passionate watch junkies...and reviewing others watch passions and choices is what watch journeys are all about
Seriously guys, you should talk about Fortis, and other like brands, it’s not all Omega and Rolex. Also, just to be clear I love the work you’re doing and really appreciate all three of you. Also, George is always right.
LOL literally seeing my bosse's collection in this episode :) Wont name drop though XD We have a Watchnerd channel in our Slack, all praising this show btw :) keep it up
Great episode, would love to see this become a regular segment. Could be better still with a bit more structure - i.e. each collection what's the one you'd drop, what's the one you'd add, what's the ugly duckling, what's the pillar of the collection etc.. just ideas!
The watch at 17:32 is one from Humism: the Humism Rhizone. The black dot indicates the hours, the hollow dot the minutes. Instead of a seconds hand they use layers of cut-out discs with a design on it that spin around and create a kinetic pattern that keeps changing. It's kinetic art and mesmerizing to look at. Humism is also an independent brand. The watch houses a Seiko NH35A movement.
appreciate seeing interaction with the fans fellas. wanted to ask if you guys would do a section on the LV tambour watch and that project, some opinions and some thoughts?
I like what he said at the end about Quartz being hated on. I LOVE watches, but i work blue collared jobs and it really makes no sense to wear a watch most of the time(can get snagged, ect..). Except for the weekend when i go out. So i hate resetting the times and dates on my automatics. So for practicality sake, it honestly makes more sense to get a nice quality seiko or citizen solar, or a nice quartz. (I think one of the collections here had the solar speedtimer) something, that i know is going to be on time and good to go if i only throw it on once in a while. A good solar watch will give you a full charge for months.
Totally agree on quartz. I’ve been looking into finally getting an omega and I just honestly like the 90s / early 2000’s quartz the best over anything newer.
I am doing an antropological study on mechanical and smart watches, can you guys explain to me why would one choose one over the other, the meaning their collection carries etc. Do you associate memories to your watches. It will be of immense help.
Loved it and loved the variety! In my over 220 watch collection, sorry Adrian, I have around 2 of everyone's that were perused. I know it's not a competition but as everyone says... buy what you like. My 26 clocks on my office wall draw inspiration from George's room. You don't have enough time on a show to review my collection and I'm trying to reduce it by 100 or so! Lol!
Guys! Adrian, Andrew, & George! Once again a great episode, you were all in very good mood, tongue-in-cheek but professional, opinionated, and fun and witty! And the collections were great too - keep it up! 🙏
Nooooo Adrian😅🤣now ppl with sizeable collections will tend to send in a selfcurated show of their "best pieces" only...I think though seeing the whole picture tells much more of a story:) also: could you maybe rate first, before telling the romantic substories regarding some pieces and rate all together so you don't influence another?:) loved the show!
CONTROVERSIAL TAKE - several G-Shocks in a collection, is like several Daytonas or Nautilus. Yes, excellent watch, but for a collection - boring. Great episode as always, Gents!!!
Great show. I'd liveto see what you think of my collection some day. Hope you do more like this episode from time to time. Looking forward to the next episode.
Agree with everyone else, great episode which you should repeat, but also all three of you should recommend the collectors next watch to round out the collection…
This is such a great episode. I really want to hear what you have to say about mine as much as other people. I have 95% sports watches on bracelets and would be scared to hear what you think. Any chance of more of these ? Another request. I would love to see a full SOTC of George’s watches. That would get special!
Great show. Love what you guys are doing. Question- does a collection “need all bases covered”. Surely a great collection has a focus or a theme that is strong, with depth… a full series of omega constellations, heuer chronographs from the 60s, Rolex dive watches, the dirty dozen etc. All these collections under review are mostly a mishmash of stuff. Some are very much trending toward a theme (heavy on independents, watches worn by musicians etc), which is great, and if they went all in I think they’d transcend “all bases covered” in a good way.
