    I have watched too many watch shows to count and this series is the best I have ever seen. Period. The honesty and respect for the craft is remarkable. Thank you and please make many more of these. Chapeau

    25:19 "This was an entry level watch 20 years ago..." CB wasn't even out in 2003.

    The Tudor Black Bay 58 925 is a spectacular watch. And over the years experiencing the patina change.

    On the one hand, he says, he will never sell his watches, and that if you flip a watch, you will be blacklisted from the brands. But then he says it’s an asset class. Makes no sense.

    I could listen to Kevin and John Mayer all day long discussing watches! Producer Michael is a close third.

    You explained to your wife how much your watches appreciated in value over other aspects of your portfolio but then said you'll never sell your watches.. so in essence you're only SPENDING money and cant argue that it's an investment at all.

    Mr O'Leary... Your watch experience is remarkably similar to my own! An enthusiast from grade school. over decades, I spent a great deal of time in Geneva, and there you really get "the virus". As an entrepreneur. working with Swissair as a consultant, my watches have a history to mark significant life milestones and accomplishments. Like you, the story behind the watch is as important as the timepiece itself. "Heritage and history are everything!" I could not agree more! Respect, appreciation of quality and love of horology are essential elements. Without those, a watch is just another article, not something to be admired, savored and kept over a lifetime. Piaget ultra thin movements remain my passion. The boutique "experience" is paramount, and it is essential to the memory and loyalty to the manufacturer.

    Kevin looks like he came straight out of some 80s cartoon. "I'm gonna tear down your youth center to build a pollution factory! Muahahahaha!!"
  • @RegNarnoc21
    Collectors sometimes need to sell watches aswell in order to be able to afford their next piece.

    how many units would you recommend for qvc if you're uncertain? or do you think qvc is just a ripoff? do you think qvc is a good way to jump start a new product?

    This video made me realize I need more "legendary holdings" in my portfolio. Oh and I need a portfolio.
