The purity and rawness of all elements in this episode really makes it one of the best. From the watches, to cars, to furniture , to architecture; this is a hard one to top.
I really wish the episodes would be longer. I mean, if you can spend 10mins watching a video about watches, you can easily extend that to 30mins. it's a pleasure and we are talking here (mostly) about vintage watches and not the latest iPhone! I like to hear the extended stories of every watch and how they were acquired. regards. a.
My god this guy knows how to collect. I want his cars as much as I want his watches. His car collection is so much more valuable though, monetarily speaking.
jesse menon The John Mayer talking watches was the first one I ever saw and in my opinion still the best. I would love to see a follow up with John Mayer
Come on...."Talking Watches" is becoming "Talking Rolexes." Get back to what worked orginally, where you curated episodes across brands, complications, differing collecting ethos and types / maturities of collections.
You guys are being too harsh on Mark & Hodinkee. I even smell some jealousy from some of the comments. Don’t burn down stuff that you can’t have. Just hope one day you can get it.
So a cool Timothy Dalton looking guy, rocking Air Jordans, surrounded by unbelievably tasteful architecture... Now add to that mix some mouth-watering Ferrari and Porsche interlude shots and a groovy Gaye- inspired backing track - could this get any better!?
What's the shirt he's wearing? I see the New Riders of the Purple Sage logo on the side but I don't know the one on the front, and I've never seen a double print like this. Who made it?
Great interview, I just wish it was longer with a few more questions...... he’s a wealth of information and I would have picked his brain for hours...... #SALUTE
I just can't get it.... why people are so crazy about Rolex watches...they are basically tools, meant to be used for specific purpose...and sorry but design wise, i find them to be very boring. Hope i won't hurt Rolex fans here. Other then that great taking watches hodinkee.
Look at those Daytonas and how the chronograph seconds hand tip floats over a contrasting color ring on the dial. I can't help but feel watch design used to be so much better! I don't think modern watches should be re-editions or remakes, but it could definitely benefit from some of these design principles.
I'd like to start seeing more variety in the collections. I am aware that Hodinkee has to find high profile people to elevate the status of Talking Watches further but I'd like to see more focus on the actual collection and not the prestige of the guest. Who cares if we've never heard of them and they aren't famous.
Sad how majority of the comments are negative one way or another... loved it. I enjoy the free content great editing and a view into ones love of watches. Let’s see any of the guys below go interview some joe blow and see how popular their video will be. Gutters!
There is so much more to watches and watch collecting than Paul Newman Daytonas or vintage subs. It's a big wide world out there and these people who claim to be watch aficionados and collectors are all buying the same shit as a speculative investment.
Really uninteresting and literally repetitive collection. And Hodinkee's desperate forays into car culture coverage are annoying. I don't turn to HODINKEE for car content. And if they keep covering the same watches and the same stories, I guess I won't turn to them for watches either.
They are more and more becoming one of those god awful lifestyle sites for the reasonably well off or fashionista but they don’t care. Long gone are the days where you would see Ben touring the Timex museum. I guess we are not their market. I dip in occasionally now if something catches my eye but on the whole it’s the usual suspect watches worn by the usual suspect well off people. They don’t seem to count the millions of watch enthusiasts for which a Hamilton is a big purchase.
For over four years we've been asking for talking watches with Ben Clymer (cool hunting video doesn't count). Ben, it's time the hubris of ignoring us stopped and this episode happens.
Please, we want more episodes with collections/collectors like John Edelman, William Massena, etc. which own a variety of brands/watches and great stories attached to it. I enjoy Subs and PN Daytona, but I guess we could expand that a lillte bit more.
NUTTY33 3 yeah, unfortunately! Nothing against those models; not at all! But it's really good to see different pieces with some history behind 'em, isn't it?
I want to come back as this guy. Everything about him classy. Amazing house (I'm sure Joaquin Phonenix was pictured with that living room back drop, on an Esquire cover). Beautiful house, amazing cars and watches, and in California. Dream life.
Right on! A Talking Watches episode with Archieluxury would break the internet! Shitters, maaaaan on the fuuuucking moon, interesting stories and many other jewels. Make this happen, please!
I've seen all Talking Watches again and again, and again. I'm a big fan. This is one of the less interesting ones. If you, Hodinkee, want to do that kind of "TW", then go to random collectioners, with less big brands/famous models... With something really special, unique.
Maybe one day we'll find a talking watches with some independents like Halter or Dufour, but for now we are stuck with Rolex and Patek. It seems like every "affluent" person on talking watches is on a Rolex bandwagon and collects for status and for the pure numbers rather than an appreciation of watchmaking as a whole. You cannot teach a man taste, he must seek out for himself.
The Bludragon Yeah. Perhaps at the end of the day, acquiring good taste is more about confidence than knowledge itself. To know what you like and why is no easy thing. To see the merits of a watch without regard to its resale value is integral to assembling an interesting collection. There is so much hype and marketing noise out there that most collections have a dreary sameness about them.
How many vintages Rolex owners are these ppl going to interview. MANY watch collectors now are not into the risky hobby of vintage collecting. Do more episodes of ppl who own more attainable modern models.
This is a great video. People bash the collection, but the reality is that there are highly coveted cars and watches here, and he wears and drives them! Great to see
Mohamed Kamal The Guy has beautiful watches and cars and tons of money, but he clearly needs those things to make up for the fact that he lacks even the hint of an interesting personality.
I can relate to pairing a car with a watch. I like nothing more than wearing my Seiko SKX as roll down the highway in my 96' Corolla.
mugwump1234 I like to pair my Casio G-Shock with my Ford Ranger.
mugwump1234 I love this
Now you just need a famous actor to do the same so the values of your skx and Corolla skyrocket!
I think that deserves just as much respect as rolling in a 911 with a sub. Just make sure you rock that SKX on a nato. Good ya mate.
I wear my SNZF15 with my Ford Expedition
The purity and rawness of all elements in this episode really makes it one of the best. From the watches, to cars, to furniture , to architecture; this is a hard one to top.
Sure that's not just an older version of Jake Gyllenhaal?
IMO this is the liveliest, most inquisitive host of TW. And this episode in particular is choc full of beauty and style. Well done!
This is a sophisticated collection. Outstanding👍🏼
I enjoyed everything about this, from the location, the architecture and decor to the cars and most importantly, the watches.
A great episode! And absolutely love his car collection!
Super stylish in an nicely understated way, my favorite episode!
Favourite collection so far. Such vibes!
This episode wins. So good.
The Daytona at 4:10 is my favorite watch out of all of these episodes I’ve watched.
Probably my least favorite Talking Watches. The wait was long this time, didn’t expect to see just some cliche sport Rolexes and a house tour.
I really wish the episodes would be longer. I mean, if you can spend 10mins watching a video about watches, you can easily extend that to 30mins. it's a pleasure and we are talking here (mostly) about vintage watches and not the latest iPhone! I like to hear the extended stories of every watch and how they were acquired. regards. a.
Smart collector. This is a guy that thinks about every acquisition and isn't a compulsive buyer. Very nice collection!
Always gotta wear my watch when watching a Hondinkee episode
lol same
Daniel Fjäll what do u wear?
Rolex Datejust 1601
You should always be wearing one anyway!
Hodinkee is my reminder
Can one call this man a "collector" if he has only 3 models of the SAME brand? Even though I love all of them.
Dani Lo I bet he has a lot more, they might see his collection and pick them out ahead of time
Of course you can that's a ridiculous statement, there's so many different kinds of collecting and people collect for all different reasons.
My god this guy knows how to collect. I want his cars as much as I want his watches. His car collection is so much more valuable though, monetarily speaking.
And i thought the next talking watches would feature John Mayer. John's episode was really something else.
jesse menon The John Mayer talking watches was the first one I ever saw and in my opinion still the best. I would love to see a follow up with John Mayer
Everyone's so negative in the comments. I enjoyed the video, keep em coming Hodinkee!
You might want to look up the definition of "everyone"
Mannn am i in love with talking watches ❤️❤️❤️
My reaction speed is always challenged when there is a new talking watches
Philip van der Kooy lol same
Hero level on every sense. This was an amazing interview
keep 'em coming!
Come on...."Talking Watches" is becoming "Talking Rolexes." Get back to what worked orginally, where you curated episodes across brands, complications, differing collecting ethos and types / maturities of collections.
Take it easy Francis. The collection is exceptional as are his cars.
this is the crystal clear evidence of the truth we all now. If we had the money this guys had, we would only buy rolexes, pateks and APs
Man... beautiful classic cars
You guys are being too harsh on Mark & Hodinkee. I even smell some jealousy from some of the comments.
Don’t burn down stuff that you can’t have. Just hope one day you can get it.
So a cool Timothy Dalton looking guy, rocking Air Jordans, surrounded by unbelievably tasteful architecture... Now add to that mix some mouth-watering Ferrari and Porsche interlude shots and a groovy Gaye- inspired backing track - could this get any better!?
What's the shirt he's wearing? I see the New Riders of the Purple Sage logo on the side but I don't know the one on the front, and I've never seen a double print like this. Who made it?
OK. I love the series, but there is so much more than Subs and Daytonas. Surprise us!
Great interview, I just wish it was longer with a few more questions...... he’s a wealth of information and I would have picked his brain for hours...... #SALUTE
in what style is this house made?
Amazing home, cars, watches. Needed more Ben Clymer though.
"Today we're Talking Watches with a rich guy who owns only Rolex." Yawn.
thumperjdm ya.. Boring
Hey who are you to judge? It's well known that a decent man should always have a Rolex matched with his Porsche.
Daniel Fortin "Decent" meaning "rich"?
Elias Westeren no, decent meaning a respectable man with noble intentions.
It was ok, but I did like his big crown and Daytonya
I just can't get it.... why people are so crazy about Rolex watches...they are basically tools, meant to be used for specific purpose...and sorry but design wise, i find them to be very boring. Hope i won't hurt Rolex fans here. Other then that great taking watches hodinkee.
Medhi, Agree with you
Look at those Daytonas and how the chronograph seconds hand tip floats over a contrasting color ring on the dial. I can't help but feel watch design used to be so much better! I don't think modern watches should be re-editions or remakes, but it could definitely benefit from some of these design principles.
Great collection, impressive cars, and can’t go wrong with vintage Rolex.
Damn that Ferrari Lusso is beautiful
I'd like to start seeing more variety in the collections. I am aware that Hodinkee has to find high profile people to elevate the status of Talking Watches further but I'd like to see more focus on the actual collection and not the prestige of the guest. Who cares if we've never heard of them and they aren't famous.
Forget the watches! That Gibson Es330 🤤
Beautiful home!
There is nothing as cool as midcentury architecture.
judging by his comments. The Ferrari is a 250 SWB, $10-&$15 million value
well, found my new role model.
Is that Audrey Ferris on Mark's shirt?
That gmt 😍😍
Theautomotive Channel Right ? I like this one better than the Newmans in my opinion
Keep up the good work!
So how did he make all that money?
One must be a special collector to match one’s car with one’s watch...
Where is his G shock?
Did Doug DeMuro review that house?
Is it me or does this guy strike anyone as a bit of a sociopath? I think I saw him in No Country for Old Men.
so how did this guy actually make his money?
Sad how majority of the comments are negative one way or another... loved it. I enjoy the free content great editing and a view into ones love of watches. Let’s see any of the guys below go interview some joe blow and see how popular their video will be. Gutters!
I was only interested in that silver Jetsons looking structure behind the house ... and it got no attention. #talkingvintagerolex
He reminds me of Buffalo Bill from Silence of the Lambs.
umm . the McQueen watch was the 5512 Sub ....
This Guy ... has fukin good life . love it !!!
They should just start naming this series Talking Rolex.
fuck me. love this house, the cars and the watches.
Wow
On today's episode of Talking Rolex
Didn't know Jake Gyllenhaal was a designer as well.

All these guys collect is Rolex, Patek, and sometimes Songe. That's all their collection.
His Submariners with the 3 6 9 dial are stunning.
So rare to find a guy that likes Rolex and Porsche
G Posada haha
Lolz
Maybe there’s a good reason behind? Not being biased at all lol
:D
😂😂😂
For over four years we've been asking for talking watches with Ben Clymer (cool hunting video doesn't count). Ben, it's time the hubris of ignoring us stopped and this episode happens.
Matt Ashe truth!
He kind of did one on another channel
Captain Tsubasa 10 like I said, cool hunting doesn't count. The fans have spoken; Clymer is on notice lol.
Matt Ashe I
Ben should do this on Hodinkee with his current collection to celebrate 2009-2019 = 10 years Hodinkee !
I was more interested in the room they were in then the watches for once!
Can't blame ya...
A House tour or a garage tour would have been more interesting, the watches are not bad ... but I guess we have had enough Paul Newmans for now.
MrJeronimo94 it’s getting to be like mtv cribs were everyone has a Ms Pac-Man game
NOWNESS channel has a house tour
@@SnoopiesPoopies Thanks!!
He needs a Rolex in his collection... Just my opinion tho🙄
😂
Despite being a bit Rolex heavy, this is a great collection. I also love the car and architecture nods given in this video.
Thankfully we are passed talking watches episodes with a big focus on the bar they're sitting in.
Barmeester hahahahaha so true 😂😂
Teddy Baldassarre Rolex heavy ? I’d say it’s Only Rolex
Teddy Baldassarre couldn’t agree more
BTW I loved the rolex video you just posted on your channel, can't beat a datejust
Please, we want more episodes with collections/collectors like John Edelman, William Massena, etc. which own a variety of brands/watches and great stories attached to it. I enjoy Subs and PN Daytona, but I guess we could expand that a lillte bit more.
Its always daytonas, gmt, submariners, then from patek you get nautilus'. It gets boring
NUTTY33 3 yeah, unfortunately! Nothing against those models; not at all! But it's really good to see different pieces with some history behind 'em, isn't it?
Personally, I find no joy in Rolexes so these videos get tiresome quickly. Watches with a bit of character and quirkyness, thats what I like.
I want to come back as this guy. Everything about him classy. Amazing house (I'm sure Joaquin Phonenix was pictured with that living room back drop, on an Esquire cover). Beautiful house, amazing cars and watches, and in California. Dream life.
Great cars, superb house, but not terribly exciting watches.
Spice things up and do a talking watches with Archieluxary.
Right on! A Talking Watches episode with Archieluxury would break the internet! Shitters, maaaaan on the fuuuucking moon, interesting stories and many other jewels.
Make this happen, please!
G sg Don’t forget those Chewdas!

Damn, that's a beautiful house.
Love Rolex, but please, stop with the strictly vintage Rolex collectors. It's getting too repetitive.
i agree, but whenever they do that, everyone complains about watches they dont like
@@saurabhchowdhry3423 True that. There is no pleasing the watch community (as my own comment shows haha).
How many vintages Rolex owners are these ppl going to interview. MANY watch collectors now are not into the risky hobby of vintage collecting. Do more episodes of ppl who own more attainable modern models.
This guy looks disappointed that he got the office boy and not Clymer
What watches are you guys wearing as you watch this video? I'm wearing a 1971 Seiko Lordmatic
CF Bucherer Patravi Scubatec two-tone.
SKX 013
Rolex 14060 on a leather strap
Mason Atkinson an omega 300m seamaster
Rolex datejust 16233
Please pardon my vulgarity but I can’t resist asking: Who is this guy and how does he have so much 💰?
This is a great video. People bash the collection, but the reality is that there are highly coveted cars and watches here, and he wears and drives them! Great to see
Nine minutes of my life I am never getting back, what a borefest.
Mohamed Kamal The Guy has beautiful watches and cars and tons of money, but he clearly needs those things to make up for the fact that he lacks even the hint of an interesting personality.
I think i found my new idol.
Mark is pure style.
My favourite episode
Im sick of rolexs
Exactly, it's all the same shit over and over.
Let's face it..the watches are a bit trivial, but the house and cars are stunning...!
Oh man! This guy is living the dream, love his vintage Rolex'es and cars and the house! Just amazing 👌🏻
Super cool guy
This was a great conversation. Maybe take it to the next level with Talking Watches with TGV!
Best regards,
Sir Willie Stroker
FANTASTIC COLLECTION But make no mistake this a RICH MAN’S collection
How achingly eclectic.
Lol!
Does Hodinkee only interview people with Rolex?
The guys from Nightcrawler got old very fast!
Im just sick of hodinkee and talking watches...cant they find people who actually have interesting collections anymore...jeez
Gshock, Toyota Tacoma and AK47 in the back👌
Ummm thats Jake Gyllenhaal from the future
Here Kip, are you still taking Rex-Kwon-Do classes? Cheers
