What Watches Famous Rockstars Wear | Elvis, The Beatles, Clapton, Slash & More 

John Mayer is notorious for his expensive taste in watches, from Patek 5711A to IWC Big Pilots. It's hard to narrow it down to one watch

6:42 Clapton is wearing a Bape shirt? He isn't just a watch collector, he's hypebeast as well. Lmao

One of my favorite things about your channel (besides the content of course!) is how quickly you cut to the chase with regard to the subject matter. Thanks for the great videos!

John Mayer has a stupid beautiful watch collection

Love all of those rockers, make second part!!

Hey guys, let me know your favorite rocker and your favorite watch on the list. 18 thousand subscribers! I seriously can’t thank you guys enough!

Damn Teddy is even a Zeppelin fan, this guy just keeps getting better

Led Zeppelin and watches happen to be two of my favorite things!

We need to start worrying about what kind of world we are leaving for Keith Richards.

Brian May the guitarist of Queen, the greatest band of all time(unarguably), always wears an SKX007.

The Ventura is truly iconic, I heard Elvis also had a diamond bezel omega signed tiffany & co

Eric Clapton’s music was the sound of summer evenings while I was growing up, my dad loves Clapton and would play him like he was going out of style. Both my parents are huge fans, so much so that “their song” is Wonderful Tonight.

Sting wearing a casio digital when interviewed, spoke a great deal about the man, respect.

I am still amazed of the idea of searching to see the watches that were worn by rockstars, politicians and different business man! I enjoyed these series! Keep up the good work!

Hi Mr. Baldassarre, Patek Philippe Perpetual Calendar Chronograph (reference 2499 / 100P) was launched in 1951. The reference 2400 was produced for almost 35 years, during which only 349 watches were made. What makes Clapton's watch even more rare is the fact that only two were made with a platinum case, possibly not even being sold. One is at the Patek Philippe Museum in Geneva the other was in his possession, the legend says that a portuguese friend of him called Domingos Piedade (CEO of Mercedes AMG) crossed paths with him at JFK airport and knowing about is taste at watches asked him what was he was looking to, Eric told him he was looking for a Patek with the reference 2499/100P but it was impossible to get, Domingos told him he would help, and directly phoned to a Mr.Philippe Stern and magic happened. Best regards.

The Elvis watch? More like the Men in Black watch!! I kid, I kid. Haha, I’ve loved the Ventura since i was a kid. Wish I could pull that thing off!

Very enjoyable video, two of my favorite things: rock ‘n’ roll and watches! Do not forget The Police, the iconic band bridging the gap from 70s punk to 80s pop and Sting making calculator watches cool wearing his Casio J-100 in many a performance and photo shoot.

Watches + rock stars = perfection

Great video Teddy. You are fast becoming one of my favourite RU-vidrs! Good stuff.. One thing I would add is that to call Clapton an 'avid' collector is a bit of an understatement! I think it's safe to say Clapton is a world-renowned collector who has owned some seriously desirable and rare pieces across a number of brands, primarily Tudor, Patek and, of course, Rolex. 20k subs just around the corner. Well deserved !

A nice selection of the "Who's who" of the rock & roll world. But my personal all time favorite?....Can't be anyone else but Elvis of course (Which is interesting as I was a teen when the Beatles hit the scene) But Elvis had the voice...and no one has ever come close to it! I think the classiest watch listed here was the Hamilton Ventura (?) that Elvis wore.......so stylish, so classy.....so Elvis!

How original!?! Seriously creative dude! Really enjoyed this topic and there’s so many more room to run from here #historymajor

I thought the John Paul Jones Rolex GMT was pretty cool. I like anyone who sticks with one watch for that long of a time and where it is mostly only one watch. Watch the Jack Nicklaus hodinkee talking watches. Really cool episode Teddy

By the way...YOU can take this concept in a myriad of different directions-rockers and their various fashion/tastes favs! You’re a gifted speaker with GREAT TASTE!

I've been wanting someone to do this video. Thank you! Great channel

Rock n’ roll and watches... my two favourite things!

When I saw the Guns N Roses Reunion show at Coachella 2016, Slash was wearing a 50th anniversary Rolex Submariner. The amount of bling that Axle and Slash have is incredible.

Your take on Zep is spot on. Except I'm the dad in my scenario and I have a son about your age.

"Without further ado", "Now let's get into it", etc

Did Teddy have a few cocktails before filming the Elvis bit ?? LOL LOVE IT , you go Teddy

Love the nod to Zeppelin and the praise of them. Greatest band ever.

Do one on john mayer

Eric Clapton patek Philip fender Stratocaster and blues are my favourite👍👌

Fantastic video! Other channels have done watches worn by celebrities etc but your list had people that I had not seen and was actually interested in knowing what they wore. Thanks again for your great content!

Surprised you didn’t mention John Mayer. Arguably one of the best guitarists of our generation and definitely an avid watch collector.

I love that you can appreciate the past!

The King has left the building! Awesome video!

Your work with Archie Luxury was your best this beats it! Congrats

I guess John Mayer , but again there are a lot of videos featuring John and also he owns a lot of watches so I guess that's pretty much it .

My wife is watching soaps .I have just watched this.Superb and cheers.Watch guys think a lot but zeppelin.Those guys were thinkers too and the rest is history.Great shots of rockers that think.? Pateks in the mix .I am an old rocker too BTW.What a treat cheers.

Great bunch of musicians... john mayer has a great taste in watches as well...

This is unique content man. Nice job. I love the ‘no BS with a touch of class’ aspect of your vids. Subscribing a few months back was a good idea.

I wish Clapton was more open to do interviews and so forth regarding his collections. Both his collections of cars and watches are just insane! He never was on Top Gear or The Grand Tour as a guest, and I bet you they must have been in contact with him to be a guest, (not counting that one time he just came and played a bit in relation to a car review). Hodinkee should also just go all in to get a Talking Watches episode featuring Clapton, preferably an hour and a half feature. And what's funny is this, before I got into watches I always looked at John Mayer as a wanna-be Clapton except he couldn't write a proper rock song even of his life depended on it, but I always respected him for getting Dead & Co going, that's actually a really big accompaniment, and he does so in a way where he is not trying to replace the unique artisaniany and playstyle of Jerry Garcia, but rather adds his own element to the group. However, now after getting into watches, I feel my view on Mayer has increased. I do respect him a lot, as a guitarist, collector, and for just living every mans dream of endless women and money, but not as a songwriter. But Clapton, without a doubt my biggest hero as a collector, and also one of my favourite guitarists. And also, big respect to you Teddy for bringing forth some attention to one of rock and rolls most underrated geniuses, Mr. John Paul Jones. Can you imagine being the one who has to glue together the Hammer of the Gods Bonzo with the wild riffs and solos of Jimmy Page? And he also handed a wide selection of instruments. Great video, Teddy. Please do one with only focusing on Clapton, I think more people need to get their eyes up for his crazy watches!

Mick Jagger can also be seen sporting a Seiko Turtle, the reason I finally picked one up!

Do more like this! Celebrities / historical figures ...interesting for both the watch fanatic and non watch fanatic (like myself)!

Elvis was the first and only real king of cool his watches which he had many and rings jewelry period he started the whole thing really in bling fashion clothing the whole deal!!! Elvis was and still is the king of music but how great it would be to have a watch from Elvis wow I would guard it with my life .

A brilliant idea for a list. I loved it. Very well thought out and edited. Thanks for the video.

Keith Richards wore a white Movado for years before a Staur 1922. In promotions for his appearance in 'Pirates…' he wore his Staur on his right wrist and a tie in Nixon Depp was advertising on his left. More recently he seems to have stopped wearing a watch. It was slightly odd that he wore his watch on the right most of the time, even on stage, as the guitars pickups will amplify the ticking of a quartz watch and mess with most mechanical watches. Yingwie Malmsteen an avid Rolex collector also wears his watch on the right, which unless it's a mil gauss or explorer isn't good for it.

My favourite rockstar is / was , is Freddie mercury , & my favourite watch has to be the breitling , they make a beautiful watch .

Thx for this video dude. Enjoyed it! Those Patek Chornographs! Really to 🤤 for!

That was fun, keep going, Country, Blues, Jazz....

My Rushmore of guitarists: 1) Prince 2) Carlos Santana 3) Joey Satriani 4) Steve Vai

Check out the drama series Sharp Objects if you get the chance. Amy Adams' character listens to a whole lotta Zep driving round in her car in it. She is mostly drunk right enough which I don't condone, but it's a TV programme and it didn't actually happen so everyone can relax!

Woo hoo! Slash and I both have Breitlings! So why am I not a rich and famous rock star?

Teddy your content and detail therein is incredible. Your attention to details is phenomenal. Continue to deliver. It is very refreshing. Thank you

Lmao! Love your 'Imagine' joke! And yass!!! Happy your a Led Zeppelin fan!

Interesting- I wouldn't have figured Mick Jagger to go for Heuer. I would have guessed some flashy gold Rolex. I guess he's more tasteful than I gave him credit for!

Hi Teddy, This is a great topic, the musicians we appreciate (rock 'n roll this time) and their favorite watch. Interesting that the Patek 2499 was owned by two on your list. I love love love that watch. Great video!

I'm a guitarist and I loved this video. more please. How about Jazz or Jazz Icons? Miles, Coltrane, Bill Evans, BB KIng, etc PLEASE!!! 🎸🎷

As gaudy as that Hamilton Ventura is, I'm digging on it hard.

LZ, nuff said

Bro, how about Carlos Santana?

Great video Teddy, rockers and cool watches seem to go hand in hand. Love Guns N Roses and Led Zep, favourite pairing is Slash and the Breitling-really suits him!lol

Slash and breitling! Coooooool

That Hamilton is such an Elvis watch

How cool would it be to have a watch nicknamed after you like 'the Elvis watch'

John Mayer has an incredible collection as well

6:41 this man clapton rocking a BAPE shirt

I personally love Freddie Mercury from Queen (solo too) although I’ve never been able to find out if or what watch he ever wore.

Nice to see the patek and tiffany co brand.

i saw Synyster Gates (Brian Haner Jr.) of the Avenged Sevenfold wearing a Panerai 8 day in black ceramic. as a rock/metal fan and also Panerai, that was pretty cool.

B.B. King wore what looks like a solid gold Rolex Presidential but, he always wore it dial side down with the clasp on top of his wrist...?

I spotted slashes chronomat breitling for years, however much more recently he has switched to the hulk submariner rolex in the last couple of years since hes been touring with guns n roses.

Cool idea..damn shame none are affordable, but guess they are Rock stars after all! Cheers mate 👍👍

Slash and his watch my favorite

King Clapton has amazing tastes in watches

Great video! The biggest difference between the Ventura of Elvis and modern Ventura is the solid gold case. I wish Hamilton had some versions of the Ventura nowadays with gold instead of all steel.

Cool video! The Breitling really suits Slash now that I think about it. Lots of Pateks on the old folks.

High on Fire! @4:49

We know John Mayer, who has a great watch collection, Aaron Lewis went to school for Jewelry . He has a great collection and has been known to give fans his watches

Have a Chronomat Crosswind and a NOS Chronomatic with BHB 12 movement like the Heuer . But I am no Rockstar only a mechanical engineer so at work I wear a Sinn 157 S t Ty COSC Chronometer ...

Axl Rose also would wear a Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Volcano.

I liked the Elvis watch

Imagine all the trim these watches have seen! :O

Nice on Teddy, great video as per usual!

Eric Clapton, beatles, Led Zeppelin, n stones

#NotificationGang Been recently watching your vids! I hope I get to be a watch collector soon when I get a job. Nice vid again, Teddy. Thanks!

Nice review and am a proud owner of a Ventura 😁

Your zeppelin praise gave me even more respect for you if that’s possible haha

Nice video idea. Love the celebrity/watch connection

I totally agree with the list! 😉 Awsome content there Ted.

Mike Patton (Faith No More, Mr Bungle, Tomahawk) is a watch lover

Slash is quite modest with watches

More of this, please!

Nice video of Rockstars favorite watches. I like Led Zepplin Jean Paul Jean Rolex GMT Master, I like Rolling Stone Nick Jagger Heuer Carrera watch, I like Slash of Guns and Roses Breitling Chronometre and I like Eric Clapton Patek Philippe 2499.

What a great video, also there is something similar about the Aquanaut and the Timex Marlin, or is it just me ? I LOVE the way that Marlin looks, it just has some Casablanca, old Americans movies vibes to it.

So true words about Zeppelin!

Awesome Video!

Wow what a great video loved it keep up the great work your friend from Tennessee

Great video. Really enjoying your channel. Keep it up!

Surely the most obvious Stones link is Keith Richards Cartier Santos. Double whammy mention as it was won from Eric Clapton.
