Talking Watches With Keegan Allen
Вставка

- The name Keegan Allen might not ring a bell to many in our audience, but mention it to anyone under the age of 21 years old and be be prepared for a full-fledged meltdown. Keegan is an actor, and a well-known one at that - his hit show Pretty Little Liars ran for seven seasons and was a runaway success. The series finale, for example, saw more than four million social media reactions and over 1.4 million viewers. Keegan's personal instagram account itself has over six million followers. The young actor could easily be just another face in the crowd, but speak to him once and you know he's just different. He's artistic and sensitive, thoughtful and pensive, spiritual and emotional. He's a poet, and a working photographer. In fact, his latest book Hollywood: Photos and Stories From Foreverland will hit shelves tomorrow. For the full story, go to www.hodinkee.com/articles/wit...

This is one of my favourite episodes because it is a genuine collection where every piece has a reason and a place. +Big respect for wearing a vintage sub swimming, not caring about losing the pearl and rocking the mickey mouse. Cool dude in my book.
pilotstyle123 I couldn't have said it better!!!
I cannot express how much I like how humble and down to earth Keegan Allen is. He swims with his vintage Rolex. He got into watches through a quartz Mickey mouse watch and he is happy wearing quartz watches as well as mechanicals. Very genuine. He enjoys it based off of his views alone and doesnt seem to care what others think.
Next: Talking watches with Keegan Allen's uncle
He passed away last spring. I very much wish he could have been on this show.
Keegan It would be amazing if you showed his collection
Keegan great episode one of the best so far!
Please HODINKEE
@@keeoone87 kudos. I come back to this every so often to remind myself not to take myself too seriously. Cheers homie. Sorry for your loss.
This is the 36th episode and I still haven't seen a talking watch. False advertising.
Cool nice humour😜😜😜😜😜
Such a disappointment and yet we come back
🙄😂 what a dad joke!
Casio data bank my guy
"he's out of line but he's right"
He’s wearing the one John Mayer said you wear when you got some real shit at home... John was right
Great episode. I have no idea who this guy is since I haven't seen his show, but it was cool to see how enthusiastic and excited he is about watches. Most, probably because of age, are more reflective when discussing watches, it's a cliche but this was full of youthful exuberance which was really pleasant to see.
This episode is becoming as good as John Mayer’s. I’ve watched it a few times now.
YES.
Cool collection. Love the fact he swims in his vintage subs, exactly as they were intended to be used. That tag is great too.
A great collection!! Thanks to Hodinkee and Allen for sharing!!👌🏻👌🏻✨😍
The fact that his dad sold his Sub for a Tag tells you he's a true watch lover.
It takes guts to admit that maybe a certain watch isn't for you, despite its brand and status.
Genuine and honest fellow. Actually a watch guy. What a wonderful interview. I wish the episodes were 30 minutes +! Cannot get enough of them.
Lol, thank you Hodinkee and Keegan...since this episode the Gevril went from being readily on Amazon to having to be hunted down and needless to say the price has been adjusted. I love the everything “Ben touches turns to gold” phase of HODINKEE. I mean that! Genuinely happy for him and the team. But golly!
Down to earth guy... liked the collection! Great to see fun watches along side serious hitters!
I love Talking Watches! Isn't it interesting that many collectors fathers were essentially one watch warriors? I love seeing these worn out watches that older generations put through the paces, using them as a daily tool and not swapping through watches weekly (or sometimes multiple times a day in many of our cases). The watch captures so much more soul since it was there through everything, not just a number in a massive collection.
Best talking watches ever, beautiful collection.
Legit episode! Good mix of serious and fun watches combined with good stories and real emotion. Keegan knows his stuff too.
One of the best episodes so far!
I laughed out loud. The sarcasm is strong with this one.
I think Ben was laughing half the time and trying his best not to show it.
I could feel his love for his watches and really enjoyed his stories:)
An amazing episode! Very personal but entertaining!
Great Episode Hodinkee. That Guy Got Passion 🤗
I think this is my favourite talking watches. Such a cool guy and wonderful collection!
Please do more of these!!!
None of those watches do it for me, but great to see somebody so genuine and passionate about their collection.
Great episode - charismatic guy, and I love that he still uses his tool watches as tool watches. But Ben's AP...that is another level.
I love that he has a Tag Heuer in his collection. I hope it made people's heads explore.
Huge props to a collector who is sincere about his passion and wears them as the tools they are.
Also not being a Rolex fan that is the first time I've heard about or seen that Blueberry GMT. Now I don't think my life will be complete until I own one ...
I love his collection , love the stories behind every watch , PS that black dial Tiffany & Co is stunning !!
Love this edition. Such passion in watches! Excellent collection that this gentleman should be proud of.
I really enjoyed this video.. I saw keegan in the farmers market at third and fairfax taking photos.... I was going to ask him about watches but we were busy inside the toy store.
A great talking watches episode. Seems a humble man, with a humble collection.
The going to bed watch “chime” comment he made, I knew he’d mention that when going to bed. I do the same thing brotha, works every single time. 👍🏾
I love this episode. Great collection!
he has a well rounded collection indeed thanks for the awesome video as usual Hodinksters
11:10 What sort of magic was that with the deployant on the Patek? That looked... badass.
It’s the magic of Patek!
Butterfly clasp
Great episode... thoroughly enjoyed it!!!
I like all the Talking Watches episodes but somehow this one seems very endearing to me. Great to hear about how Keegan's father inspired his interest in watches and how he still finds his dad in the memory of a watch, no matter what it is. Just Wonderful!
This is one of my favourite talking watches
Man, I so fall asleep with my watch under my ear! I also thought I was the only one xD
Man, I love these videos. I thought I was weird with my clock obsession since a young age (still have my first watch though it doesn't tick anymore) and I find all these other crazy dudes that just loves watches and appreciate the engineering, passion and knowledge that are put in to these timekeepers. Apparantely a lot of plp had the clock interest before they had the financial means to realize their clock fantasies and it is just not a way of flashing their wealth. I myself can not yet afford the clock(s) on my list but I will get there.
honestly maybe my favourite episode thus far... his enthusiasm is infectious and he seems super genuine about his passion- not to mention it's so awesome he actually wears them and beats them up.
Haha, now I know I'm not the only one sleeping with my watch on. Great collection by the way
Another good show Thank you. Don't know if I would take that 1680 in the water though and I definitely would NOT HAVE TRADED IT for a Tag, but that's just me. Keegan has a real passion for watches and it comes out in this video which made for a good episode
Don't know about anyone else, but I was glad to see the Heuer 2000 mentioned in a TW episode! Certainly never expected it. I have a 1989 Super 2000, and it's the watch I reach for by default when I get up every day. I love it despite its slightly awkward and clunky late-80s design, and for its Lemania chonograph movement, and - most importantly, to me - was given to me by my dad.
Tags are nice, i have some also
Loved the Gevril Tribeca...amazing....
One of the most interesting episode!
Keegan Allen seems to be a nice guy, I hope he keeps having fun with his watches.
Damn this guy is a legit watch admirer,you can say from the passion in his language.
Yea, he falls asleep to the sound of his watch.
Agreed, i like to listen to the tick of my watches too. It gives a different sort of feeling.
As always, great episode !
The way this gentleman articulated his love of watches is nothing short of poetry. Never heard of him before this video, but I hope he has a long and fruitful career. Strong work finding this watch enthusiast Hodinkee 😉
Great episode! That Tag Professional Quartz looks way better than any boring Rolex Sub. Your dad was a wise man :)
Watches & fly fishing. Sounds good! 👌 👍
Such a great conversation. Keegan just hits the nail on the head with so much of the heart and soul involved in ones passion for watches. His description of his feelings about his Gevril are so well stated that it has completely changed the way I think of tribute timepieces. Well done - seeing new perspective is such a large part of the enjoyment.👍
Great video. Nice collection.
Love how Keegan phrases his “reminder to not take himself too seriously” for his Mickey Mouse watch in the exact same way Dan Brown describes Robert Langdon and why he wears the same Mickey Mouse watch in every one of his books since Angels and Demons in 2000.. coincidence?
Unintentional plagiarism is my guess - he must have read it 15 years ago and thought he came up with it somewhere along the way. But yes almost line for line what Dan Brown wrote.
Loved it. Such a cool guy.
Keegan, I have to say this is one of my favorite watch related video's period. Don't pay attention to the negative BS comments!
It’s all in good fun, I still watch this with so much happiness. A true fan of the dink!
Great episode of talking watches. You can really see his passion for horology and the love for his collection.
Seems like a nice guy with a passion for his watches. Exactly the sort of person we need to see more of on talking watches.
Very nice , a nice break from an infamous day here in Toronto
Great collection!
Interesting. I also like falling asleep to the ticking of the mechanical watch I am wearing. Nice video. Thanks, Hodinkee!
I have no idea who he is. But this is my favourite Hodinke video. But he has introduced me to patek travel time and the 1675 Blueberry. Both I never knew they existed until I saw this video.
"Wearing a watch as a timer" NEVER thought of that!
what a nice bloke
Very good episode my favorite I think.
Fantastic video ! Thanks a lot for sharing ! Great guy with a true passion for horology 👍
Ben's salmon dial Royal Oak is absolutely stunning. Is that a perpetual calendar?
>implying it's his
Well...He is wearing it. But hey! Just for you, next time, I'll refer to it as "Is that watch on Ben's wrist that may or may not be his...".
I despise salmon dials, I just don’t get it
+1, absolutely stunning piece and stole the segment without even trying... couldn't stop looking at it. the salmon contrasts so incredibly against the wg.
If Keegan needs a watch to put him to sleep he needs an Accutron hummer.
SERIOUSLY, THIS IS A VERY ,VERY GOOD HOST.
Great episode! He seems like a great guy and he has some interesting stories.
I do exactly what he does to sleep at times. Its just something about the appreciation of a ticking sound of countless of parts moving together to create art, puts me down to sleep.
"I got into watches in a really unconventional way." - Talks about being influenced by family.
Yeah just like most people. Not unconventional. Just a usual backstory.
Love this guy's enthusiasm though. Enjoyed this chill and fun interview.
Also the way he talks is a little similar to John Mayer. I don't know if he was influenced or just coincidentally. No problem with that. Just noticed.
Drifting Dwarf For me it’s the exact opposite. My family could care less for watches but it’s my passion and it has been for a couple years. But whenever I try to talk about watches to any family member besides my uncle, everyone just gets bored
So true about the white gold... :)
I just love how he’s so cool while his guest is freaking out. Really cool interview style I enjoy the episodes with him the most
It would be nice to have this guy talking with John Mayer about the watches
Fascinating guy, love his passion!
Beautiful cameras. Fujifilm X100s + Tele conversion lens & Leica M10 + 35mm Summilux pre ASPH
Great episode! He seems like a really cool guy and he's a true collector.
Anyone know where to find the Gevril Tribeca?
Always good to hear another watch nerd talking. Glad I’m not alone..
Great video True Watch lover 👍👍👍
So everyone can have there opinions on homages. But the Gevril Tribeca deserves a special treat. It was made while the Daytona had next to no hype. Making this homage shows that they really appreciated the design and not just grinding money out of something stolen.
One of the best clean collections yet from talking watches imho.
Wow!! He is true enthusiasts…real man
This was very enjoyable!
Cool kid. I'm interested in more than just Rokex and Pateks, though. This guy actually wears his watches and has meaning to why. Good interview. I just got my first Seiko, radio sync solar and it's the nicest watch I've ever had. I will wear it proudly and be happy I was able to buy it, for 135. There you go.
What tag Hauser model is that watch?
I didn't know Keegan but I liked him within 2 mins....
BTW I have the TAG 2000 (the same shown here) from my grandpa and it was the 1st watch I ever experienced and now I wear it...
Cheers!!
Very cool collection.
What are Ben and Keegan wearing in this video?
The tag hops the second markers 😆
omg I NEED that tiffany watch
Wow. This is maybe better, if not at least equal to John Mayer's Talking Watches. So many stories attached to his watches. Amazing
Now this is a watch guy！
Great episode!
Mr. Ben Clymer we have been asking you for years for talking watches with, well, you! The cool hunting video does not count. You gotta do it, kid.
The boy is sooo enthusiast and excited, he makes me happy.
What Tag Heuer watch is that?
Thanks god, another episode
This is what Horology and a collection is all about......so many collectors have pieces that mean nothing to them...
