parents didn't have a lot of money, gets gifted a tag heuer on his 12th birthday
Yeah and his Uncle was David Z… but he just happened to leave that out… Guy tries to make it seem like he made it from nothing. He had a network from birth lol
The one thing I hate about.. people is the dishonesty that comes with these their stories .. just because you have an opportunity or access to opportunities doesn’t mean you didn’t work hard.. it just annoys my soul..
Classic Jew....
The whole thing is fake.
@@GlassPiffJar such a slimy dude. All those stories were fake.
hahaha turns out to be another advertisement after the announcement of kith heuer collab😅
"What do you mean a collection like this?" Ronnie had to show him he's still from Queens. Great video :)
😂 he almost had to check Ben right there
Ben meant no ill intent by saying this. Ronnie is just insecure.
😂 - the interviewer was sweating 😅- Ronnie is a Boss
@@Os_-tw4ot hahahahaha so true. You could see Ben thinking Oh damn how do I get out of this one!
timestamp?
so this was just a commercial then...
Yup that was a nice ad for the new Kith-TAG collab, it almost looked like it wasn't... almost
So with todays Tag press release we see this vid was all just another Hodinked advert
“Advertorial”
Disgraceful advertising... what has this thing become.... shame
The real question is did LVMH pay for this talking watches or did you do it for free since they are part owner?
I watched this last week and thought what a great interview. Little did I know this was just a stupid ADVERTISEMENT for the Tag watches. You used to be better than this and more authentic.
It's business man, one day you'll understand
@user-hx8ge2sh3d their ship is sinking and they know it. That's why Jack Forster and others left. But thanks for your condecending comment.
@@user-hx8ge2sh3doh wow you so intelligent
Loooool 2024 and you don’t know how business and promotion works oh wow
@AshBashSneakers oh I do but I guess you don't know authenticity. Hodinkee was a place for real watch collectors not people like you and this cheap subliminal advertisement. But the fact that they have resorted to this and that many significant staff leaving just goes to show the health of this business. Just stay in your lane when you can't see the obvious.
As a Vitality member and long time reader of Hodinkee, this video made me very happy.
Vitality bros 🤝
Great collection. Love this guy and his story.
Great episode! Thanks!
that’s an incredible episode. hodinkee, this is what makes you awesome.
Basic channel for basic ppl.
Love seeing the thought behind the collection... collecting in sets, and his particularity for integrated straps/bracelets.
Excellent episode, great collector, collection, interview, and production.
Amazing video, inspiring story by Ronnie, and incredible watches. Great to know that he waits for watches like the rest of us - but he can get the AP CEO on the phone😂😂
I would hate to be APs CEO and have all these rich people call me to get some stuff faster than the other.
This is a great collector focused video and I appreciate the way he collects.
The Vacheron story is so fucking cool.
Love it
This is what you do best Ben. More of this. Keep up the great work
I can't tell you how long I've waited for this, Ronnie has always kept some serious quality watches on his wrist, for years. So much so that its ads to his lore and his specific sensibilities of quality, simply can not be denied. It's taken him entirely too long to sit down to talk about these sensibilities with regard watches. I'm glad we're here now.
Same!! Been waiting for this for a while
Doing flips on it
@@Stankonia1996 you seem to like mine's though
Loving the old Tags! Hah. Awesome collection
This was excellent.. I love his sneaker collabs and clothing.. didn’t know he was SUCH a big watch guy.
This was fantastic. Nothing but love for both brands!
I don't understand fashion. Dude's wearing sunglasses and a Patagonia rain jacket...indoors. haha
Pretty sure he's comfortable.
@@JakeGittes84 no doubt. I live in NY and wear rain jackets often. But I would never wear one indoors b/c I couldn't get away w/ it. Ppl don't even question when someone like him does strange things clothing-wise.
@@JakeGittes84or uncomfortable, in a psychological sense.
Spot on 😂😂😂
@@dmccoynywhy worry about what people think / will ask. You do you bro
Hodinkee and Kith are both hilarious jokes of companies
Great conversation !
Wow. Unreal ep. Love Ronnie. I love how he a true collector (needs everything in every color) and also has been into watches before they were hype.
A true collector? He’s buying the most popular watches on earth. With unlimited money buying every green dial DD and DJ? Not exactly a very interesting collection.
Whenever it’s talking watches of someone if heard of it’s always a win. Thanks Ronnie for showing us your collection
My favorite TW so far. KITH X Hodinkee X UNIMATIC. Make it happen!
Brilliant stuff. I feel exactly the same about the straps and cases.
Same here
Excellent episode, man is a cool customer with a great collection!
A genuine watch collector with excellent taste - in the John Mayer style …….
Brilliant
I gotta say this interview is one of my favorites. What a great collection
just another advert now. i want to say i expected more but meh.
What a treat ! A lazy Tag Heuer from the 80s is back… 😂
Great episode. I like the way he collects.
Great vid hodinkee more of this
Amazing Collection!! Was there for the Travis story too, it was a wild night ✨😂. Great video Ben
21:21 the most intense and confrontational moment in the history of Talking Watches. Ben Clymer is saying VC is of the old money aura, which ain’t you Ronnie! 😂 Btw: Ronnie is an awesome and accomplished person; my hats off to him.
I enjoyed that moment 😅some healthy honest awkwardness
Ben didn’t flinch. Good stuff
Ronnie calling the dial a face too lol Ronnies the man!
Ronnie is about Kendall Roy's age and he wears a hat like our number one boy. Plus he is also New York royalty. Of course he is Vacheronista.
@@nuno.maia.p6493lol I love this comparison. They even look somewhat similar, come to think of it.
This is Hodinkee as we know it and love it 🙏🏼
Loved this episode, great guy and amazing collection!!
This isn’t an ad at all 😶🌫️
Ben dodged that Vacheron question like it was the Matrix!
Great stuff!
This was fantastic. Slowly seeing a return to form for talking watches and it’s awesome.
so sick, this has gotta be one of the coolest episodes of all time much respect to ronnie and his story
Could someone tell me when "sick" became a positive, as opposed to a negative. It used to be a defined as being unwell or vomiting. I'll tell you this, I would feel pretty sick paying $350 for a Kith baseball cap.
The funny thing about the 222 is that there is one sold for 10k less than the MSRP at my local dealer, GBT in Nyon Switzerland. Its not holding the price.
And doesn't make it any less, incredible watch
I love when talking watches intersects with founder talk 🔥
This video was the most enjoyable yet - well done! And wow, what a collection ...
Ben is unlocking his inner Dandy.
White skinny jeans and a bright patterned ascot. Might be fine in the middle of summer on the coast but not in the city lol
@@michaelh8854 He looks ridiculous.
@@christianellopmyes
Amazing episode !! Great job Ben, love it
When it comes to products, there are some exceptional ones that change the experience forever, whatever the path of life, furniture, car, pillow, shoes etc. Back in 2016 I bought asics gel v. Since then, I've owned maybe 8 of them. People keep asking, why do I wear the same runners and my answer is genuine, they're the most comfortable I've ever wore so why to change? As my search for these continued, I came across expensive ones with THIS MANS name attached and I wondered who is he. Thanks hodinkee- now, not only i know who he is, I also share he's passion for product, fine product
You know when Ben is interviewing on Talking Watches it’s going to be a big one
Or they had to fire all the folks who used to do them
I wonder if he will buy the new Vacheron with the green dial? It’s stunning. I also didn’t know Vacheron is for senior citizens? LOL
I’ve been saying the same thing about only being interested in watches with integrated bracelets/straps!!
Great “old school”, by that I mean with Ben, episode!
Maybe I’m just boring but the sunglasses indoors are really bothering me ngl, mainly because in a lot of the shots at least on my tiny phone screen you can’t see his eyes too well, makes story telling feel less idk genuine
He brought some real heat.
Nice! Mike Tyson said Kith was his favorite band
Awesome video! Please tell me there is a KITH/Hodinkee Collab coming soon ❤
Cool episode. I’m a bit surprised at the build quality of that Vacheron.
David Z is Ronnie Fieg’s dad, seems like he left out some important details.
Uncle. But yes, I agree a crucial detail lol
LOL. Thanks for pointing that out. Props to his success, but that information was definitely omitted on purpose
Also that he is an Israeli ...
@@HEATSEEKER00 dude what’s with the antisemitism on every reply you have 🤣
@@daniellogansa8101 noticing things is not anti semitism …
Ben must have been smitten when Ronnie said his dream car is the M1 (Ben has one in a gorgeous dark blue).
Good episode guys 🐉
That Vacheron Royal is unbelievable. I’ve never seen that before.
I’m with him on the point about integrated straps/bracelets. I think Rolex integrates their bracelets very nicely, good example is the jubilee end links.
Ronnie is the goat. Can’t wait to watch!
Cool through and through.
Really rooting for Hodinkee to pull through the rough patch they got themselves in with the whole Crown & Caliber thing & growing too much too fast. LOVED Hodinkee when it was a skeleton crew 6 years ago. Hopefully Ben can right the ship. I’m even letting the ads play all the way through so YT has to pay up more 😂
salute your productivity Hodinkee
Love it when two people I follow meet!
Love the VCs and the Aquanauts...
One of the best Hodinkee Videos for me!! Thank you!
Still has on the ascot that he was wearing while applying lacquer finish to his burl-walnut trim on his Boston Whaler.
More style trendsetters please! Like Teddy Santis from ALD, Pharrell who now works w/ LV, Brendon from Noah. So many options big and small
His reaction on "collections like this" 🤣
The guy knows deep down his collection is like his own brand
Man has taste! 👏
So dope. Love it!
Hodinkee should do a Ben's collection video
Instant classic
I was sort of not rich growing up, but was gifted a watch that 99.9999% of kids would never get. Then I worked and things really went well for me. I made promotions, made more money, got into business,. Voila, I obtained Rolexes, Patek's, and then AP's and VC's within 10 years. I celebrated every success with first great watch buys in NY, then Paris, London, Boise, and Katmandu. It was amazing! But I keep to my roots and traditions by collecting $50 sneakers along with my 150K watches. My friends tell me I'm an inspiring person. Why this emptiness?
Congratulations on your success brother 🙏
stop the cap mosher
Cool Dude 🤙
El verdadero valor de algo está en el gran recuerdo de una época nostálgica creo que el mejor de todos el F1 qué bonito recuerdo para usted
This was great
Just a thought….i would pair the gold AP double balance with a brillrot e30/// with a tan interior on a Sunday drive
Class content! Such a cool collection!
Wow. 42 and here I am at 38 dwindling my thumbs
He’s planning for rain.
Good episode.
That's a precious scarf Ben.
What sunglasses is Ronnie wearing ?
My first time seeing Ronnie. Going to get into more of his ventures. Seems like a really cool guy
21:20 was making sure he wasn't calling him a hypebeast hahah
Good guest.
This guy may have been born in Queens, but he stopped being from New York a long time ago.
I knew Ronnie have some crazy watches and glad no RM’s in sight.
Ben saved the "collection like this" comment haha
Great episode. Wonder why he was wearing a loud rustling rain jacket indoors.
The Tags make it a collection, but the gold VC is crazy. What I mean by that is if you only go after the heavy hitters, you miss the real passion of watches
I like his ring. What material do you think it's made of?
Check Oura ring
tag heur F1 reminds me so much of the current moonswatches!
Is this the kick off 😂 True Geordie needs to have words. I do love the video tho 🙌🏽
