Kevin O'Leary & Teddy Baldassarre Visit F.P. Journe

- After a day off from shooting the new season of Shark Tank, I join my friend & fellow watch collector Teddy Baldassarre as we visit the only place I'd prefer to be on a day off in L.A.
We head over to F.P. Journe and spend the day viewing some incredible pieces. Stop the madness!
"How long did it take to make"
"6 years"
"8 years?"
"Yes".
Comes to show FP is a nice guy to let his brother ride his coat tail
Comical LMFAO
I replayed that, weird awkward conversation really.
Doin
That was the best 😆😆😆
Journe: To reach this accuracy the optimum is made with two barrels mounted in parrallel so it delivers more constant flow of energy to the escapement.
Teddy: So this is how he is maximizing the torque of the mainspring.
Kevin: Does this gold come in gold or platinum?
Teddy know his shit haha 😂
@@Samuel-qe9lj and Kevin doesn’t give two
🤣
Lmao imr
🤣
I like how Kevin just barely shied away from saying they'll be worth a lot more when F.P passes away in front of his family like he usually does, lol. Class act, that goblin.
Kevin isnt a watch guy, all he sees them for is money. Such a shame
Lol fake Kevin replied but why would he pass away ?
@@HaveOneWithHans
But let me guess you are a watch guy and keeper of the watch guy status committee.
@@bighands69 wow okay ill take it 😂😂😂
Kevin, you are a bit older than F.P. Journe...
I love how Kevin couldn’t give two shits about the innovation of the mechanics, just that it’s gold.

I think he does give a shit but his brain is wired to assess value instictivly
@@HEATSEEKER00 status as well
That part was so funny
Kevin such a negotiator, can't help himself.
"How many years did it take to think of this?"
"6 years"
"8 years"
And Laurent was just like
*nod* "...Yea"
I died😂😂😂😂
🤣
Kevin never tried to listen to a word that Laurent was saying. This exchange highlighted my point.
ua-cam.com/video/bsPSJREQgUw/v-deo.html
Laurent has this air like he's doing you a favour by letting you spend $300k on a watch as he should. I don't think it gets more baller than that. What a remarkable piece of art.
lol
A pleasure to hear Laurent state that the point of the watch is to wear them, and that they are not fragile - its a shame when a watch is hidden away in a safe. Especially the mass produced
You do have to respect them still considering what they are. I've fried a couple mechanical watches from daily wearing them. Sure they were fixed by the manufacturer but it's 6+ week turnaround time and thousands of dollars.
People hide away a lesser pieces also makes me sad the only point is to wear it at any price point from seiko to that 18 complication piece they showed at then end
That's a freakin huge issue with watches. It's so easy to nic them. Scary stuff
Kevin wants you to eat GMO.
Both are jewish
I feel in this duo, Teddy is the brains, Kevin is the wallet.
That’s pretty obvious
Are you Einstein ?
Kevin downplays his knowledge. He knows far more than he says, if you’ve ever seen him talk about watches not in this format
How dare you imply Kevin is not the beauty.
@@dengised321 😂😂😂
Kevin: "yes?"
Journe guy: "no."

Jesus, Laurent is visibly showing the utmost restraint every time Mr. Wonderful says investment. Journe is an investment of effort, knowledge and appreciation of horology, not necessarily the retrained value.
You could definitely tell that he wasn’t comfortable. Just because Kevin got famous from being a good investor doesn’t mean he’s gotta talk about everything as investments. Sometimes you just gotta appreciate a watch for what it is - a piece of art.
Yea, there was definitely tension between them. Got the vibe Journe didn’t love the way Kevin was talking about their watches.
Especially when watches are awful investments and buying up as a scalper fad premium bullshit sells out so many of the talented legends into lame bullshit
Most importantly, you sound like a cheap fuck, who sees everything in a grimy, pointless mindset. Value is only monetary and you don't do anything but be greedy and with half the taste you could possibly have for the money to justify your enjoyment
@@aucifer1001 He can't talk about them with any expertise beyond money.
"Is that gold?"
"I like the dial"
He has no soul
Laurent is a man of craft. It shows.
Laurent was wearing this piece (@7:29) when I bumped into him in Aspen, CO in August. He was such a kind gentleman and took it off to let me examine it and it made my entire weekend! I can't wait to own an F.P. Journe myself, and I guarantee you I won't be going on and on about "investment piece" - it's something I'll wear and cherish and pass down to the next in line!
Laurent : explains the double barrel for a constant force and accuracy.
Kevin : this is gold isn't it.
Laurent sighs 50 times in this video and its funny that i can relate to him.
😊
Agree...Kevin is so gauche.
Teddy (and us) looking at all the watches he can’t afford 😭😭😭

😂😂😂😂absolutely
...yet
What's he wearing? I almost thought it was a Lange at first.
Teddy B knowing the vibe is awkward and nearly fainting at the end when he thought it was all over but then it looked like Kevin was going to talk about the investment value of the watches going up when FP dies right in front of his brother haha.
Not to mention calling the brand a disease lmao
“This is gold, is it not?” 😂 Kevin is hilarious. That was a beautiful and thoughtful description of a seriously technical piece of watch engineering utterly dunked on. Kevin is such a philistine I almost respect him for it 😂
I can't😂😭
I think he's referring to the movement and not the watch. Journe made only brass movements in his watches for the early part of the company, so the movement being in gold means it was designed since he changed over to primarily Rose Gold movements.
For a man who talks about FP Journe as much as Kevin does, he really knows very little about their watches 😂
He doesn’t care about the watches! It’s all for show and investments!
@@Sur-Ron Yeah, he showed that when he popped out his Patek Naut and said that it was his favorite piece becuase everyone wanted one. That's it lol not the movement or the history just cuz it was the hottest piece.
@@Sur-Ron He doesn't care about anything , other than himself.
There pretty
Kevin knows basically nothing about watches
At 8:34 when Laurent is describing the leveling out of constant power and interface of a Constant Force Remontoire, you can see the glazed look of confusion on Kevin’s face.
but TEDDY KNEW
Lol
Kevin was just working out how much the watch had appreciated in value over the 10 mins they’d all been standing there
All he sees are dollar signs
Unfathomably beautiful pieces, and having Mr. Journe available to describe the individual pieces was a real treat. Thank you, Kevin!
Mr. Journe wasn't in the video.
14:20 is the awkward moment when Teddy realized his stand up comedy act probably needs some work.
He said "he owes her dinner" if anyone's having a hard time trying to figure out.
😆
We've been waiting for more FP Journe content, thank you Mr. Wonderful!
He seems nice guy but his clothes look like he just came from miami vice tv serie from 80s :-)
@@lihaniska87 yeah his age is starting to show, I've noticed his clothes are getting messier and messier
I love your collabs with Teddy Baldassarre. I drop everything to watch them as soon as I see a new one has been uploaded to either of your channels. Thanks for the great videos.
He aint no Pokemón
Bulbasaur dafaqq 😅😅
Man dont disrespect Teddy like that!
Ok ciao
@@tharunthammaiah9196 He is now foo!
Kevin is everything that is wrong about watch collecting. I can’t imagine FP being happy about him talking so much about his investments and how he used his influence to cut the wait list
FP shouldn't deal with this chav with money.
Kevin is always talking about the dials and getting watches for the dial only. Real collectors go for craftsmanship inside and historical pieces but not about just throwing your money around for them. John Mayer’s collection would not appeal to Kevin
@@marcuscastillo514 John Mayer knows a shit ton more about watches than Kevin. The way John remembers details about Patek references and IWC references is pretty impressive even if I’m not a big IWC fan
Kind of wrong to shame people for wanting to collect for different reasons, because Kevin IS right dial is very important for a collection. I mean would you want to see the same style of dial on all your pieces, as for Mayer there absolutely nothing wrong with him collection for history either. I collect for both reasons when I buy watches I look for dial, movement, case size, shape and material.
Kind of wrong to promote and profit from the biggest Ponzi scheme in the history of our country in FTX. Also kind of wrong what Kevin and his wife did when they were drinking on their boat and killed someone
I spoke with this gentleman before I bought my F.P.Journe Quantieme Perpetual 18K 6N 42mm Rose Gold. Very nice man who took the time to chat. I am ready to buy the next one.

How much if you don't mind me asking
@@sourpatchkid87 I purchased this watch last August from a then A.D. The covid had hit them hard and they needed the cash flow. New in the box $ 55K.
Whats funny is that when he was talking about the movement he was almost only looking at teddy because he could sense only he could understand him😂
Interesting to watch Kevin try to hog the limelight. It was great to see that the masterpieces are the center piece of the video, and kudos to Laurent for sharing the innovation that went into each piece. Maybe there will be a follow-up video with just Teddy and Laurent, and Teddy letting Laurent share his knowledge. I like Kevin, but he needs to listen more to what Laurent is saying and let him finish his thought.
A Narcissist isn't interested in what others say or think.

The fact that he brags about building up a collection in 24 hours, says it all. If I was a watchmaker like FP Journe, guys like this would be in the very bottom of my waiting list…
Howcome if u don’t mind me asking? I think the reason he bought 4 was cuz he had to have already owned 3 in the first place to attain that specific one! I can see where your going with this now that I’m writing this because he’s not really appreciating the other pieces but what do you think?
He shouldn't be on any list, and then sent to Hublot.
@@ChrisMenendez609 Maybe not but he must really have liked the one he wanted to buy 3 others to get it, that’s appreciation.
MAGNIFICENT BRAND!!!! -PURE ART! Thanks very much for this generous video!
Absolutely breathtaking. Thanks for the tour of this collection.
I'm not a frequent watcher of O'Leary so maybe it's a part of this channel, but it kinda bothers me how many times he mentions the "investment value" of the watch before he actually says something about the design, ingenuity etc. Still, he's known for being a businessman, so I understand it.
Totally. But he’s kind of self-branded himself this sort of shrewd and crewed business man.
It’s always about the money.
He’s like that art collector that only gets a piece for its investment sake.
Yes thats understandable. I watch kevin a lot and this guy LOVES (making) money. He loves working and being successful, and he measures the fruits of his effort in terms of monetary value. The money represents FREEDOM. This is largely connected to his happiness and sense of self worth. Theres more metrics for his happiness, like family, but in public the thing he talks about most is money and success. And lets be honest, this guy worked most of his hair off and as a result he is very successful and free to do what he wants.
Heres the thing about kevin regarding watches. One of the things kevin took on as a principle is to always make money somehow when he does something, if possible. The same goes for watches. Kevin really loves watches, primarily because of the beauty of the dial design, but I also believe this love is partially conflated by his love of making money/freedom. I bet you that kevin will be more compelled and obsessed by a watch if its also a good investment. Who can blame him, investing and making money is what he is good at, its where he derives his self love, meaning and freedom from, something most people can use a lot more of. Of course he wants to communicate the merits of his efforts, insights, decisions and assets to other people. "Look at this amazing investment that I made" is what he is trying to say when he mentions the investment value. We all want to communicate the things we are proud of and we often do when we get the chance. When he does, he logically makes it seem like its just about money and status, but its not. For example, even though his stocks have better returns (presumably) than his watch collection, he really does not love his individual stocks as much as he loves watches. Not even close. The foundation of his love for watches is the appreciation and preservation of art, with the extra benefit of also making money. Personally that doesnt bother me, rather it seems like a valid approach to many things in society, investing and life in general.
@@HellsMaw Spot on mate!
@@HellsMaw Does he sell and make any money on his watches?
Indeed...
Was so excited when I saw this pop up. Amazing work as always guys
FP Journe watches = time machines (literally and figuratively)! Such elegant pieces of art!
Kevin and Teddy need MORE collaborations. I spend most of my time rewatching these videos on Teddy's channel, and this one. The lesson learned is fluent speaking, taste, and difference of opinion is okay. You guys are just fantastic.
I’m glad that Kevin refrained from talking about his stupid red straps after Laurent finished explaining the two barrels, constant force remontoire, the bi-axial escape wheel, dead beat second, etc.
Really love this interview and in depth knowledge. Thanks a lot guys!
Love love love this channel, thanks guys.
Wow...what a collection!!! Love these watches!!
WOW! That's amazing. Thank you Mr. Wonderful!!
Love when you gentlemen get together, keep the videos coming. 👍
Amazing watches. Doesn't seem like Kevin cares at all about horology, just investment and art. No judgment, I guess, but some of us are in this hobby for different reasons. Thankfully, Journe ticks all the boxes.
Can't wait till they announce their new watch brand, Teddy O' Baldaleary & Co.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Teddy & Baldië
@@Nerdhaunt ooooh I like! 🔥🔥
If I keep listeniing to O'Leary I'll spend all my savings on one watch :) I think what I learn from these videos is to scale down to what I can afford but get the best .
When all the comments laugh at Kevin for asking whether the watch was gold, I didn't get it, but when I actually heard it myself, I laughed in real life as well. It was the timing.
Great interview along with great explanations of the movements.
WoW AWSOME video, loved all relevant details (first hand) exceptional video....
Great pieces. I regret not pulling the trigger on a Chronometre Bleu 3 or so years ago for just under USD20k. It was all I could afford at the time and would have delayed plans of leaving my job by a couple years. Still kick myself each time I think of Journe.
No way! I been waiting so long for this! Kevin got me so into FP! I do not own one, but it’s my dream to own one one day.! Nothing beats FP to me!
Kevin: Your brother is not dead, how dope is that?
Laurent: *1000 mile stare*
Kevin doesnt realize that jacket looks ridiculous on him?
I think Kevin does truly love watches, but he is the man he is and he can't separate the man from the businessman. It's just who he is and I do love the fact that he surely doesn't try to be who he's not, it's almost a seamless transition from these are works of art to that's what 250 grams of platinum and what do you think this would trade for. It's classic!!
“It’s art and you don’t wear them to tell time”
And then the other guy lectures about time accuracy on the next watch.

Accuracy is part of the art for watchmaking, it’s like pursuit of perfection. All great artists are pursuing perfection in their mind, but it’s just not accuracy.

Simply beautiful watches!
When people ask why are they so expensive, listening to Laurent's indepth description and passion 07:24 answers that question.
Amazing watch. Good luck for the future.

Wow, love the show, it was absolutely spectacular to see these excellent watches. Please someone has to crest a museum with these excellent works of art!! Please Moe vids like this one and please make one with Patel phillipe and Rolex!!! Thank you again. I am going to rewatch this vid several times to get the full effect. Really each masterpiece deserves its own show.
Loving these Teddy Wonderful vids.
I will own an FP at some point in my life. Thank you for making these videos. I absolutely love them
Good luck to you sir
9:18 this is gold is it not, that shows Kevin dint understand shit what the mechanics of the watch are. But who cares he can afford the watch and also one who can explain ABT his watches. That's life.
Exactly, he doesn't care about the history and beauty of the craft.
@@dannymurzea He's said multiple times that he only cares about dials
his entire life was built around investing… ofc he is gonna focus on investment. he says he likes value appreciation and conversation starters, that’s fun to him. What’s wrong with that?
"The dial would have been imbalanced"
....
Kevin: "This is gold, is it not?"
🤡🤡🤡
@@spencerpatterson8815 Everything. Watches are NOT an investment , they are an indulgence. If they happen to increase in value, that is one thing, but get a certain hard to obtain model, and flip it, you will be black-listed by the AD. Journe are about making complication masterpieces in the shape of wristwatches, they are not about creating something to be traded like a bar of bullion. People like O'leary have little grasp of the nuances of watch collecting.
Never thought I’d watch a video about watches for 21mins. This videos a masterpiece. The Frenchmen was so interesting to listen to
That was special... thank you!

Teddy is wearing a Zenith, not FPJ
He is wearing a Zenith.
Kevin O'Leary is the definition of "All the gear, and no idea". All the money in the world, but no actual knowledge of horology/watch mechanics. He only knows about precious metal/gem content, the status-symbol aspect, and the "investment" aspect.
Right? Dude called it a micro brand.
A clueless rich prat who thinks taste/style are bought at a boutique
@@Thewolfamongus74 I suppose you could say that purely based on production numbers but people's definitions of it differ
He cares more about dial design than movement
@@marcuscastillo514 We are all drawn initially to the dial, we have to like the look of a piece. The movement he neither understands , or truly appreciates. The movement doesn't show to the casual observer, and he wants above all to be notice and admired (Mr Wonderfull 🤮) hence the ludicrous red straps he dumps on every watch, as though he knows watches better than the makers of them? A classic Narcissist, not interested in Horology , just money.
I get that Kevin is a money man but these watches are more about the art than the value, I really think that point flies over his head
Teddy = Class, Kevin = Crass. Amazing brand and stunning, beautiful timepieces.
Fantastic video Mr O'Leary.
The journe dead second tourbillon and the new one with the flipped tourbillon is quite possibly the most incredible single watch ever designed.
These are great! You and Teddy are quite the pair!

I feel like Journe brothers get annoyed quite a lot by their customers like Kevin. They're so deep into watch craftsmanship and creating stunning mechanism while customers like Kevin are looking at them as pretty things that will make them money or things that will elevate their ego from the exclusivity of those watches. Kinda expected from people who built their fortune by investing and selling and the sad thing is they are the only ones who will buy their watches
It’s the same with most mediums of art. But it has to get funded from somewhere- and those who pay astronomical amounts for something usually want: status, exclusivity, and appreciation of value. Those three things are everything to a guy like Kevin.
Why would they be annoyed, that's their market. Who else could go and spend 2 million dollars on 5 watches other than collectors and investors?
Wow!! The Astronomic watch most definitely a remarkable design masterpiece.
