I like how quiet Mark can be and yet say so much

[@bastienpotentier]

Great to see him pause, stare at the watches and appreciate their beauty !

[@bastienpotentier]

I love this gentleman’s taste as well.
Thank you for doing it in Japanese: even if I don’t speak the language, I feel that what’s being said is more meaningful and impactful.

[@TheArmourytv]

we also have the English subtitles available if you are interested in Kamine-san's stories.

[@bastienpotentier]

@@TheArmourytv this is exactly what I did! Really enjoyed the conversation, thank you.

[@wrongname3636]

Mr. Kamine has such good design taste with a very diverse collection. Thank you for sharing.

[@andrestenstrup1042]

Love the watches, but I was hoping to see a Grand Seiko model that also is/was very special. Thank you Kamine San to show some of your collection.

Thanks for doing it in Japanese

The gentleman has so much knowledge about luxury watches and explains the geniune reasons why the watches are awesome.
Earlier I thought of the Nautilus as just a hype watch but now I can appreciate it as well.

[@rohanpandey4364]

Maybe i am mistaken - but when the Mr Kamine was talking about a watch being his style - the fact that host blurted out - "I have one " with a chuckle - that was very 'new money' moment.
old money whispers .. and seldom ever makes a noise
Keep up the good work

Nice tie :) glad they’re back in stock

[@j_tokyo]

Wonderful interview and video! More of these, please. 👏👏
I should also commend the wonderful, seamless editing. Even though there was an interpreter, the reactions and follow-up questions were still spot on. Kudos!

[@Hoppetakeyama]

I have been to most of the the major cultural museums of the world but I couldn't find any wristwatch brands like these - how disappointing. Is it because they have no real value?

[@The_real_Mr_Ghost]

AP watches are garbage quality im talking from experience. only problem watches
