    Any collection that fits in a single watch box is far from out of hand. I have to admit that I was surprised and impressed by the variety, and that quarter repeater! Wow! No Rolex, no Omega, ten watches including three pocket watches, a couple of GS and a couple of Casio.... Such an interesting collection. Super curious about Charlottes watches now.

    Really like that you have pocket watches because you like the movements.

    My favorite watch in this video is the Grand Seiko Omiwatari. The Casio A500 comes in a close second. My absolute favorite thing about this video however is how many times you said, “Charlotte” in such a sincere and loving manner. It seriously put a big cheesy smile on my face.

  • @TonioToutBeau

    The GS Spring Drive is a masterpiece. I would keep this for life. I would ditch the Hamilton and keep the Howard. Thanks for sharing. It's great to see one of the most respected watch reviewers in the world to have a collection built over years with true passion for watchmaking including some pieces that are more accessible for the common folks. It shows you can still enjoy horology without having to spend big money.

  • @BrianMCarroll

    Like you I have a Hamilton 992 pocket watch. I inherited it from my father-in-law, who inherited it from his father. It’s actually a 1935 992E. I DO wear it as a watch from time to time. I’ve even bought waistcoats to go with it. I love looking at the movement, but would rarely sneak a peek at it for fear of getting dust in the movement. Thank you for the suggestion of swapping the crystal and case back. Now I can look at the movement anytime I want. Then on the special occasions when I want to wear it as a watch, I can just reverse the swap. Super!!!

    @michaelavillion9302 Рік тому +1

    Thanks for sharing! It’s exciting to see what you choose with your budget given you have handled thousands of watches. The reality is watches are expensive, but most people don’t have the money (or don’t want to spend the money) to afford thousands of dollars worth of watches, so I’m glad you are not just another youtuber showing off how much money you spent on watches. It’s really ridiculous how we praise “collectors” for spending their (or their family’s…) money….
    Anyways, I really like the omiwatari and Christopher Ward. The quarter repeater is super cool.

    I can relate to this completely. I started with one watch in my teens, it broke so I got another one but while looking for another one I noticed one or two others so after a pint or 4 at the pub I ended up with three. That was the initial onset of the watch collection, only cheap watches but there you go. It all slowed down to a halt when money was diverted to fast motorcycles and taking girls out and then a mortgage. Some decades later and it started again, my only working watch if I recall had broken so I needed a replacement..... and a backup. You can see where this is going. And yes my F-91W is a prime staple in my collection amongst a some mechanicals and digitals. At risk of being shot at have you considered a G-Shock? I'll get my coat.
