Judging by the comments I must be the only dude who doesn't know who you are but welcome to the hobby! That is a fine collection you got there! I love that each of your watches are carefully collected timepieces with a story that you are passionate about! Some polywatch will sort that AE1100 crystal in a jiffy! Just a small bit on a micro cloth and five minutes later it will be gone!
Her name is Mary Spender and has a main channel with the same name. She makes music and talks about music: youtube.com/@maryspender?si=y2ctF70qIE8dCBnE
So true brother... Raketa Copernicus Vostok Amphibia Timex Q Chronograph Seiko 5 Casio f-91w Orient Mako II Tissot PRX Getting my Seagull 1963 soon... I think my entire collection is less than 1500$ and I wouldn't trade it for anything.
Aren't g-shocks great?? I'm such a klutz, the wife's nickname for me is "CrashBang" lol. But the g-shock can take all the hits and much more. Plus the features are amazing! Solar powered battery, atomic timekeeping (options of course, but some of my faves), they're awesome
This is such a great collection! I'll be honest, I had no idea who you were before this video popped up, but it's amazing how much of your personality shows through just seeing your watch collection and hearing you talk about them. I'll have to go check out your music now. Great video!
She is a beautiful guitarist/singer/song writer! Check her out in Leo's studio in Norway. Heavy metal with a silly Leo twist! Mary evens it out. (I love your watch reviews from Japan.) ua-cam.com/video/x0RV0kgdqJU/v-deo.htmlsi=Gk9osvJ6XdskHq3i
Hi Mary, It’s so refreshing to see a female watch horological collector. The British accent is pleasant to listen too. Your voice is calm and humble 🙂. And you enjoy talking about the movements of time pieces. I follow the Urban Gentry too. Great video! Please share more of you journey.🙂
First time encountering your work. You have a very impressive presence and presentation skill that is really intoxicating. Keeping it real you are a very attractive woman but it’s your connection to the subject and surprisingly the empathy you display. If you apply yourself to watches you could be very successful. I particularly enjoyed the mental and emotional connection you have for each watch. I will definitely check out your other channel.
This was the video that got me into watches, lovely collection! As a new collector, it was so nice finding out Casios were respected, if not venerated, by watch collectors. I love their futurist designs.
I stumbled upon your channel by accident because I enjoy watching people’s collection videos and I’m glad I did. You may not have a high-end collection, but I can see that you have a love for all of the time pieces that you own and that is the most important thing. Even the mistakes we make are important in our collections. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos and I will now check out your other channel. Great work!!
I've had a bunch of vintage watches that I inherited from my father (decads ago) that have just been sitting in a box. Recently I pulled one out for a trip overseas and wore it for the entire trip. It's a manual wind 1958 Bulova Senator (no fancy features) and looks great on my arm. Needs service as it stops in less than a day after a full wind, but now I have the desire to get it professionally serviced and go through the rest of my dad's watches. I've got the bug now. Thanks Mary
I have been watch collecting for 47 yrs, I have said from the beginning until now, "cost and prestige mean nothing," I buy a watch because I like it. I have watches that others may consider ugly and expensive, but I "like" them. Bravo, march on, glad your enjoying your watches, what is the point if there is no joy?
Like some of the other watch nerds, I hadn't seen you before this, but I am so happy I found your channel. Most of the women who do UA-cam watch stuff focus on really high-end pieces and throw in a Casio every few months to be quirky. I love that you are aiming solidly at more budget-friendly but still excellent pieces. Subscribed!
Nice! I'm an aspiring watch collector and I appreciate that you included the Casio and G-Shock watches. I envision having top-drawer pieces in my collection but yet keeping my $15 Casio on my wrist just because it does the things I need it to do. Plus, I enjoy the retro-throwback aesthetic it exudes.
Hi! As a fellow watch enthusiast who is a woman also, it’s so cool to find your channel. You’re completely correct about G-Shocks; I think the girls will be more into them now that someone like Billie Eilish has been sporting very colorful and cool G-Shocks lately. Nice to meet you.
@@CenterThePendulum Oh that’s awesome! I tend to wear anything from 37mm to 42mm, it just depends on what’s to come throughout my day. Your wife is super cool btw!
I'm a Casio boy myself. My father introduced me to them with his A168W. The first Casio I bought with my own money was a GW-M5610 which I really like the radio synchronization and the timezone features.
Love it Mary. I 100% agree. I love guitars and watches as well. It's not about the price of the item, but the design, the features, the quality, the craftsmanship, the vibe, and the functions.
I loved hearing you talk about your love of the Casio world time. I feel the same way and a Casio can be such a vibe and really does make me feel nostalgic for my childhood. I've seen genuine videos of someone saying no man should wear a digital watch because it's not classy and is childish so it was nice to see the flip side.
I'm an avid viewer of your main channel & as a watch enthusiast I was so tickled to WATCH this video. Beautiful Casioak and I am a female that likes G-Shocks. I have a budget collection that mainly consists of Timex and Seiko watches. My pride and joy is a Seiko SRPC41K, "Mini Turtle".
My Casio died this morning after over 10 years of service and i am debating if i should get a new one or a Timex. then i came across this video and you made up my mind. i'm sticking with Casio thank you for your help. :)
I love it when the UA-cam algorithm makes suggestions that perfectly align with my interests. Me, stumbling upon your new channel, is just a great example of that. As a fellow watch enthusiast, of modest financial means, I appreciate your watch collection. I definitely subscribed.
She's not terribly hard to look at, either. I'm on my third pass through Penny Dreadful. Her mannerisms, facial expressions, and voice give me wonderful Eva Green as "Vanessa Ives" vibes.
I spied that moonswatch on your wrist in a recent video and immediately started digging to see if you had any videos on watches. I feel like I personally manifested this channel into existence!
Nice that we share another passion on top of music. I have a Bulova Lunar pilot (mine actually worn by Dave Scott a few years back when we were chatting at a conference I helped organise), two Omega Speedmasters (one Dark of the Moon, one regular), and a few much cheaper ones, which are just fun
Fellow watchgirl ... who owns / loves my G-shock (old-school DW5600). Deep cut with the CWC; iykyk. Been a fan of your voice / playing for a while ... and love watches ... and I'm so glad to find out that you're a collector!
Welcome to the hobby, Mary! Love your collection - especially that CWC that reminds you of your father. That's the power of collecting - the memories of each piece. I'm retired from the U.S. Navy and wore a G-Shock my entire 20 year career while sailing around the world.. I still have it, but have added to my collection with a Hamilton Field Khaki, and a Rolex Explorer ref 114270. Cheers!
30 seconds in and I subscribed. I didn't know who you are but your humor and presentation hooked me. Very nice collection. Looking forward to more of your infotaining work. Cheers from sunny Florida!
I love it! I was definitely not expecting a watch video from you, but your enthusiasm is apparent in spades. I am very excited to come along on your watch journey.
Oh wow, now this was a pleasant surprise! Been following your music since early Andertons days and now this. Lovely collection, the Tiffany Casio and Tissot Prx are the standout for me.
Welcome to this marvellously addictive world of watch collecting on UA-cam. You seem knowledgeable and have a nice collection of what you actually like which is great. I look forward to your forthcoming videos.
This hobby is about the passion, and you've got it in spades. While you lost me at being a cycling enthusiast, I love Casio--they're just so endearing and useful--and yes, we all have a watch or two that we just never mesh with for some reason. I have three, and they need to be rehomed as soon as I start functioning again. It was a delight to see you making a watch hobby video. I clicked it immediately. You make me want to do the same! Thanks for the content! It was great!
I like that you have a lovely speaking voice, and you are very articulate and witty. As a creative person, you can tackle a new subject (like watch collecting), and make it interesting. Much appreciated, Mary.
I just recently bought the same Swatch Watch as you! Aaand ended up returning it… something just felt off. Funny coincidence! Really loved your Breitling, and its refreshing to see someone show off their collection in such an inviting manor. Much love
Love this so much! Your collection reflects more of ours than those who have higher-end brands. I've got too many, and they mostly fall into my budget range. Buy what you like, rock it, and appreciate where everyone is in their journey. Great collection--I want to add a Tiffany blue like that Casio to my rotation.
This is awesome, been a big fan for years and love your music, the fact you love watches as much as I do just makes it that much cooler. Definitely looking forward to more videos
That's a GREAT collection. I really enjoyed you talking about your collection and was kind of astonished that you own a G10. Great little watch. And a great story attached to it. I really hope to see more of your watch-collecting journey here. And now I got to get my G10 Navigator out of the box. Thanks for the inspiration.
May I suggest for you the Seiko 5 Brian May limited edition, the “red special.” It’s a literal collaboration between watch and guitar enthusiasts. I’ve always enjoyed your main channel and now look forward to following this new journey.
Really well done Mary, I’ve been into watches for 50 years and a collector for 35-40 of those and yes the micro mechanics fascinate me to this day. You came across as genuine and knowledgeable, you’ll do really well at this - Good luck ❤️
Two very popular female watch influencers (5:08 - 5:22), who share your appreciation for G-Shock are Jenni Elle and Britt Pearce, both who have large followings on UA-cam. So there are women that exist who love Casio watches. While both of these ladies also cover more expensive brands, they regularly feature Casio watches as well.
I am a first time viewer of you channel and I love the fact that you love these watches, I have over 30 watches and like you they have a multiple price points. My latest acquisition is a G Shock GM2110D-2A. I love the fact that watches and what you like is so subjective. That way nobody is wrong. Fantastic collection and I look forward to updates of your next purchases.
So eloquent,classy and so dam refreshing to see and hear a woman being so passionate about her watches and this amazing hobby… I’m in and subscribed .👍🏼
Hello from Madrid. Thanks the algorithm for finding you. Very well done with this video. I’m into watches for 20 years and this video is better than many videos done by dedicated youtubers.
You have a heart that harmonizes perfectly with your music-gentle, humble, and full of grace. Your kindness and beauty, inside and out, make you truly unforgettable.
Really enjoyed your video , i can see why it got so many views in so less amount of time , the watches you picked to show really had a story , a narrative to it . Rather than showing any microbrand watch ( which most youtubers do) , the symbolism brands like breitling and cwc had to offer hooked me to watch till the end , and i cant agree more the world time watch indeed is mine most loved watched too . 🙌🏼
I enjoyed seeing your collection. I love anything with gears. Watches, motorcycles, and cars. My favorite watch I own is a Tissot GP that I wore on my motorcycle circumnavigation of the United States last year, 16,000 km in 29 days. Keep collecting!
Been watching Mary play guitar for awhile and as a watch collector with thousands of affordable watches, who thinks CASIO makes the best watches in the world, bar none, I welcome Mary to the club.
@@montys8th - most are Tough Solar which never need changing. I have solar Casio over 25 years old still on the original battery working perfectly, one of the reasons Casio are the best watches made, bar none. The just need a dose of sunlight to keep going. I have obtained seemingly dead solar Casio off eBay, put it in the Sun on a window sill for a week and they recover, and work as normal still.
Absolutely love the prx! I’ve been considering one for myself but now I see the gold version it would make a perfect present for her. Also love your honesty about your moonswatch feelings 😂 😊
You have an awesome watch collection! I just got into the hobby yesterday with a Casio F-91W. I’m also a musician and have seen you on Paul Davids' channel!
As a fellow watch nerd (enthusiast, geek, etc) and a long time subscriber to you main channel, I love listing to your music also, I would like to welcome you to the "friendly disease", that is watch collecting. Once you start, you can't stop. I'm forever browsing the internet, scouring my local shops for inspiration for my next watch purchase. Fabulous collection you have made, I also have one or two of those choices in my small collection, (Tissot PRX Quartz version, Casio "Tiffany" Dial). ⌚
Hi Mary - What a fun surprise to find this other channel of yours! I thoroughly enjoyed it. I have now learned we share similar tastes in watches as well as guitars (like your 30s archtop). Your album Super. Sexy. Heartbreak. Is an absolute favorite of mine, especially “You Can Have Chicago”. Cheers, Kevin.
They do look cool but its the opposite of what we want to collect. Most of us are connected enough to mass media,I don't need someone tracking my every movement. Its like having classic cars & going to a car show & taking an EV!
Love it! Your collection looks great so far and don't let em get ya down. I also love Casio but also have swiss mechanicals etc. All fun. The two light blue Casios are so in line with some of your guitars too. so cool.
Glad I found your channel, I have been collecting watches for about 20 years and have around 60 in my collection. The most important thing is to buy watches you like and not just buy watches because of the brand. I have watches ranging from £9.99 to £5,000, but my go to ones are my Dw5600 and my Casioak. Try some polywatch on the face of the casio.
Mary, I've been a longtime watch collector (also not an expert 😊😊), and found your channel, and you, to be honest and enthusiastic about this hobby! I am now a subscriber!
You have a very captivating maner of speaking 😊 usually i skip videos cuz it's to long and boring but with you i was just peacefully listening from the beginning to the end ☺️ welcome to the watch world, now that you began collecting, you won't be able to stop 😅
This is brilliant Mary - of course I know you and your music all the way back to Bristol early days and I loved your recent tour. But I had no idea you were a watch fan girl. Fabulous companion to your music career. I’ve also got a 42mm Breitling and I love it for all the reasons you mention, including it’s robustness for when I go sailing. Great video!
Welcome to the hobby... love your collection. Please keekp the low profile tone on the future videos - that relaxed fun collecting vibe is what caught me. I really miss more of that down to earth collecting right now. Cheers.
Just what I was looking for . I have moved from mandolins to watches and I share your fascination with the fine craftsmanship evident in good watches. I so enjoyed your channel Thank you . Mike.
Discovering your channel after watching a bunch of Nico Leonard's content is heck of a contrast 🤣Love the background on the brands, very informative. Very nice collection too! Looking forward to watching more of your watch content.
A nice little video on your collection. I have built a little collection over a few years, I did have a Seiko military watch which I deeply regret letting go, I am on my second Breitling Blackbird, (the previous sold), I have since added two Bremont watches, an Omega Speedmaster, and recently got a Cartier Tank XL. I might try and replace my military Seiko next year.
Breitling and Omega fan here. You have a really nice watch collection. And I love the story behind everyone of your watches. I also have a Breitling, a MoonSwatch, and a PRX. Looking forward to hopefully see more content about watches.
Really enjoyed this! Lovely varied collection and with each piece having its own little story. Very cool. The gold prx looks particularly great on you, I feel that tissot is a bit stale for men’s watches but you’re quite right that they offer some killer ladies pieces
I’m very new to watches too so glad I can follow someone else’s journey! Also 10/10 starting with a Breitling. As I now know “Sketchy dudes wear Breitling”!
Welcome to the hobby/passion. As an avid watch collector for the past 40 years, my only advise to you is to buy what you like and enjoy your watches. Forget about all the nonsense. You can love a Casio the same as you might love a Rolex. You’ve got a great collection and you’ve tied a story and a meaning to each of your choices. That’s what it’s all about.
Look at a Seiko Spring Drive. Nothing like the smooth sweep of the seconds hand - takes me back to the '70s and '80s in school with the electric clocks hanging on the wall. Watching that hand move is mesmerizing at times. Started with Valjoux 7750s and variants (7753), Seiko auto chrono movements (8R48 and NE-88), etc. Nothing compares to Spring Drive.
Wow this was great - not sure how I stumbled on this (and minority hadn't heard of you before and wow what a great voice!). Look forward to seeing where the hobby takes you next!
The Omega x Swatch Crossover is fantastic! As is the Breitling, of course. But all in all a fantastic collection, so much personality in each of these watches. Thanx for sharing!
A wonderfully surreal experience to see the thumbnail for this pop up, causing me to say aloud "I swear that's Mary Spender?!" Having recently tumbled into watches (if your collection is 'entry-level', mine is still in the taxi on the way to the venue) this is a wonderful surprise. As a fan of classic field watch design, that CWC is pretty perfect. And yeah, Casios are an endless well of joy. Looking forward to seeing where you take the channel!
I immediately recognised sultry Mary. And a watch collection can very well be very affordable - like mine. I love watchss - they are a reflection of different activities, aesthetics, technologies- and STORIES. WELCOME, MARY, to this wonderful world! All the best, Rob in Switzerland😂
As a watch enthusiast. I love to see the collection and the reason for purchasing each piece. One of my favorite videos from you so far. Please make more!

Getting my Seagull 1963 soon...
I think my entire collection is less than 1500$ and I wouldn't trade it for anything.
@@matijasimeunovic8145 I Have a seagull in looking to get rid off. Doesn't get any wrist time and needs some love and a new home. !
@@matijasimeunovic8145 That's a great list of less expensive but still classic watches.
Mary Spender being a watch collector and doing a SOTC video was NOT on my 2024 bingo card, I'm going to be honest...
Yeah, honestly man lol. Came out of left field.
But how great, right?
Mary's coolness factor was already maxed...I think that she has just broke the interwebs.
Got me to click.
Right!? I was like where have I heard that voice 😂😂😂
I'm a woman and I love G-shocks and Casios in general. We exist! Great collection.
...and g-strings.
Oh we all exists, I have too many Casio standards and I’m looking forward to my third G shock besides my DW9052 and my DW6900CS1.
Aren't g-shocks great?? I'm such a klutz, the wife's nickname for me is "CrashBang" lol. But the g-shock can take all the hits and much more. Plus the features are amazing! Solar powered battery, atomic timekeeping (options of course, but some of my faves), they're awesome
@@itsnoha5322 yes. i have one and it gets the most wrist-time of all my watches :) even if i have some high end pieces
I've been loving the women's casioak series for fun summer watches. I have tiny wrists so for a G shock they fit and look great!
This is such a great collection! I'll be honest, I had no idea who you were before this video popped up, but it's amazing how much of your personality shows through just seeing your watch collection and hearing you talk about them. I'll have to go check out your music now. Great video!
A new challenger arrives! haha

Great to see a relatable collection that’s not full of big money watches. Loved it.
A delightful approach to talking about watches. No pretense. Just fun.
Hi Mary,
It’s so refreshing to see a female watch horological collector. The British accent is pleasant to listen too. Your voice is calm and humble 🙂. And you enjoy talking about the movements of time pieces.
I follow the Urban Gentry too.
Great video! Please share more of you journey.🙂
This is a crossover I did not expect! As a long time follower of your main channel, and a new watch collector I loved this vídeo.

Holy shit Mary is one of us. The best advice I can give you is this "The answer is always Speedmaster".
…and the key to a watch collection is talking about what watch you are buying next!
I would love to hear what her Grail watch is.

This is awesome, been a big fan for years and love your music, the fact you love watches as much as I do just makes it that much cooler. Definitely looking forward to more videos
What a refreshing “normal” watch collecting video.
Finally a relatable collection. And from a great musician too!
That's a GREAT collection. I really enjoyed you talking about your collection and was kind of astonished that you own a G10. Great little watch. And a great story attached to it. I really hope to see more of your watch-collecting journey here. And now I got to get my G10 Navigator out of the box. Thanks for the inspiration.
May I suggest for you the Seiko 5 Brian May limited edition, the “red special.” It’s a literal collaboration between watch and guitar enthusiasts. I’ve always enjoyed your main channel and now look forward to following this new journey.
You have a very diverse watch collection, thank you for sharing it with us!
Really well done Mary, I’ve been into watches for 50 years and a collector for 35-40 of those and yes the micro mechanics fascinate me to this day. You came across as genuine and knowledgeable, you’ll do really well at this - Good luck ❤️
This is the first I have ever seen of your channel. Loved it, thanks so much for sharing.
Two very popular female watch influencers (5:08 - 5:22), who share your appreciation for G-Shock are Jenni Elle and Britt Pearce, both who have large followings on UA-cam. So there are women that exist who love Casio watches. While both of these ladies also cover more expensive brands, they regularly feature Casio watches as well.
Wow, you nailed it. Those are the two ...
Britt aka Gringa was more fun when she vlogged while plastered.
@@lieutenantkettchthink she has a kid now so…
@@giants4105what? You easily impressed huh?
Lol do she? I'll have to check this out! 😂
I am a first time viewer of you channel and I love the fact that you love these watches, I have over 30 watches and like you they have a multiple price points. My latest acquisition is a G Shock GM2110D-2A. I love the fact that watches and what you like is so subjective. That way nobody is wrong. Fantastic collection and I look forward to updates of your next purchases.
So eloquent,classy and so dam refreshing to see and hear a woman being so passionate about her watches and this amazing hobby… I’m in and subscribed .👍🏼
Hello from Madrid. Thanks the algorithm for finding you. Very well done with this video. I’m into watches for 20 years and this video is better than many videos done by dedicated youtubers.
My accountant recently informed me that I have no money...
You have a heart that harmonizes perfectly with your music-gentle, humble, and full of grace. Your kindness and beauty, inside and out, make you truly unforgettable.
The Watch rabbit hole goes deep, be careful, has caught us all out...😂
Well done on your video 👏👏👏
Really enjoyed your video , i can see why it got so many views in so less amount of time , the watches you picked to show really had a story , a narrative to it . Rather than showing any microbrand watch ( which most youtubers do) , the symbolism brands like breitling and cwc had to offer hooked me to watch till the end , and i cant agree more the world time watch indeed is mine most loved watched too . 🙌🏼
Mary! Phenomenal collection!!!!!!! congratulations!
Thank you so much!!
You two are legends okay, legends!
I enjoyed seeing your collection. I love anything with gears. Watches, motorcycles, and cars. My favorite watch I own is a Tissot GP that I wore on my motorcycle circumnavigation of the United States last year, 16,000 km in 29 days. Keep collecting!
Been watching Mary play guitar for awhile and as a watch collector with thousands of affordable watches, who thinks CASIO makes the best watches in the world, bar none, I welcome Mary to the club.
Thousands?
Casio is junk for teenies. Do me a favour!
Holy shit changing batteries must be a full time job
@@montys8th - most are Tough Solar which never need changing. I have solar Casio over 25 years old still on the original battery working perfectly, one of the reasons Casio are the best watches made, bar none. The just need a dose of sunlight to keep going. I have obtained seemingly dead solar Casio off eBay, put it in the Sun on a window sill for a week and they recover, and work as normal still.
Absolutely love the prx! I’ve been considering one for myself but now I see the gold version it would make a perfect present for her. Also love your honesty about your moonswatch feelings 😂 😊
Thumbs up for the quality of your video 👍🏻
You have an awesome watch collection! I just got into the hobby yesterday with a Casio F-91W. I’m also a musician and have seen you on Paul Davids' channel!
10:52 two options for the scratch 1. Pollywatch 2. SKX MOD stainless steel/Sapphire mod case… I would recommend 2
As a fellow watch nerd (enthusiast, geek, etc) and a long time subscriber to you main channel, I love listing to your music also, I would like to welcome you to the "friendly disease", that is watch collecting. Once you start, you can't stop. I'm forever browsing the internet, scouring my local shops for inspiration for my next watch purchase. Fabulous collection you have made, I also have one or two of those choices in my small collection, (Tissot PRX Quartz version, Casio "Tiffany" Dial). ⌚
The CWC flieger is looks amazing.
Hi Mary - What a fun surprise to find this other channel of yours! I thoroughly enjoyed it. I have now learned we share similar tastes in watches as well as guitars (like your 30s archtop). Your album Super. Sexy. Heartbreak. Is an absolute favorite of mine, especially “You Can Have Chicago”. Cheers, Kevin.
Crap.. I guess I'm into watches now.
No you’re not
@@X11CHASE two days later: true, but they look so damned cool
Nice to see you over in this part of UA-cam! Loving the crossover. Enjoy getting into the hobby and community.
After a decade of using Apple Watch, I went back to wearing ‘conventional’ watches and my collection now has 60 Casios..
They do look cool but its the opposite of what we want to collect. Most of us are connected enough to mass media,I don't need someone tracking my every movement. Its like having classic cars & going to a car show & taking an EV!
60?? 🤣
@@Wetangle yes.. In just about a year.. No exaggeration !
You got a problem mate 😂
@@merc7paul Yeah.. It’s the sheer affordability that has gotten me into this mess !
Nice collection.
I've never been a huge fan of Breitling watches, but that first watch is amazing.
This was really cool! Next, a car channel 😁
Love it! Your collection looks great so far and don't let em get ya down. I also love Casio but also have swiss mechanicals etc. All fun. The two light blue Casios are so in line with some of your guitars too. so cool.
Breitlings are fantastic. You do give off that sketchy character vibe. Enjoy and may it accompany you on many of your adventures.
Not that I'd ever sell my watches but I've noticed they don't hold value like some,which is good if you want to pick one up preowned.
Breitling are fantastic value in grey or secondary market.
Glad I found your channel, I have been collecting watches for about 20 years and have around 60 in my collection. The most important thing is to buy watches you like and not just buy watches because of the brand. I have watches ranging from £9.99 to £5,000, but my go to ones are my Dw5600 and my Casioak.
Try some polywatch on the face of the casio.
0:55 GOD TIER
**loud Nico Leonard noises**
Love the video. Great collection of watches. Listening to your honest approach to watches is a breath of fresh air.
Mary, I've been a longtime watch collector (also not an expert 😊😊), and found your channel, and you, to be honest and enthusiastic about this hobby! I am now a subscriber!
You have a very captivating maner of speaking 😊 usually i skip videos cuz it's to long and boring but with you i was just peacefully listening from the beginning to the end ☺️ welcome to the watch world, now that you began collecting, you won't be able to stop 😅
This is brilliant Mary - of course I know you and your music all the way back to Bristol early days and I loved your recent tour. But I had no idea you were a watch fan girl. Fabulous companion to your music career. I’ve also got a 42mm Breitling and I love it for all the reasons you mention, including it’s robustness for when I go sailing. Great video!
Welcome to the hobby... love your collection. Please keekp the low profile tone on the future videos - that relaxed fun collecting vibe is what caught me. I really miss more of that down to earth collecting right now. Cheers.
Just what I was looking for . I have moved from mandolins to watches and I share your fascination with the fine craftsmanship evident in good watches. I so enjoyed your channel
Thank you . Mike.
Discovering your channel after watching a bunch of Nico Leonard's content is heck of a contrast 🤣Love the background on the brands, very informative. Very nice collection too! Looking forward to watching more of your watch content.
A nice little video on your collection. I have built a little collection over a few years, I did have a Seiko military watch which I deeply regret letting go, I am on my second Breitling Blackbird, (the previous sold), I have since added two Bremont watches, an Omega Speedmaster, and recently got a Cartier Tank XL. I might try and replace my military Seiko next year.
Beautiful watch collection and even better mindset. The "best" watch is the one you enjoy the most!
Breitling and Omega fan here. You have a really nice watch collection. And I love the story behind everyone of your watches. I also have a Breitling, a MoonSwatch, and a PRX. Looking forward to hopefully see more content about watches.
Really enjoyed this! Lovely varied collection and with each piece having its own little story. Very cool. The gold prx looks particularly great on you, I feel that tissot is a bit stale for men’s watches but you’re quite right that they offer some killer ladies pieces
I’m very new to watches too so glad I can follow someone else’s journey!
Also 10/10 starting with a Breitling. As I now know “Sketchy dudes wear Breitling”!
Welcome to the hobby/passion. As an avid watch collector for the past 40 years, my only advise to you is to buy what you like and enjoy your watches. Forget about all the nonsense. You can love a Casio the same as you might love a Rolex.
You’ve got a great collection and you’ve tied a story and a meaning to each of your choices. That’s what it’s all about.
Look at a Seiko Spring Drive. Nothing like the smooth sweep of the seconds hand - takes me back to the '70s and '80s in school with the electric clocks hanging on the wall. Watching that hand move is mesmerizing at times. Started with Valjoux 7750s and variants (7753), Seiko auto chrono movements (8R48 and NE-88), etc. Nothing compares to Spring Drive.
Wow this was great - not sure how I stumbled on this (and minority hadn't heard of you before and wow what a great voice!). Look forward to seeing where the hobby takes you next!
The Omega x Swatch Crossover is fantastic! As is the Breitling, of course. But all in all a fantastic collection, so much personality in each of these watches. Thanx for sharing!
A wonderfully surreal experience to see the thumbnail for this pop up, causing me to say aloud "I swear that's Mary Spender?!"
Having recently tumbled into watches (if your collection is 'entry-level', mine is still in the taxi on the way to the venue) this is a wonderful surprise. As a fan of classic field watch design, that CWC is pretty perfect. And yeah, Casios are an endless well of joy. Looking forward to seeing where you take the channel!
I immediately recognised sultry Mary. And a watch collection can very well be very affordable - like mine. I love watchss - they are a reflection of different activities, aesthetics, technologies- and STORIES. WELCOME, MARY, to this wonderful world! All the best, Rob in Switzerland😂
As a watch enthusiast. I love to see the collection and the reason for purchasing each piece. One of my favorite videos from you so far. Please make more!
Nice collection and commentary! I agree with the love for watches and the community behind them. Nice Casio!!
