Thank you Jack for being such a nerd about this horology..... Bravo.

Sunrise/sunset chime would be an incredible watch complication.

Love the Easter complication idea! Keep up the great work with these videos!

I always look forward to these videos. It’s like attending watch school!

That sunrise and sunset idea is awesome!

Love this series, especially the comment on keeping corpses. How true!

So much fun…again!

I absolutely love the idea of a sunrise and sunset chime. And now it's all I'm going to think about. Thanks 😳

2:40 10 past 10 ,represents the person who open arms to ready to hug you 🤗

Jack: proving both taste and sexy are subjective in just eight minutes and thirty seconds.

Can’t wait for tonight to try the 8:50 position. 😉

What an entertaining video, great stuff keep up the good work 🙂

Great stuff!

Jack's ideas for a dream watch are out there, but as soon as I heard them, I thought: "Damn, those are things I'd really love too."

This was great!

I use watch winders because you are going to have to have your watched serviced every 5-10 years anyway (depending on use) and a watch winder does not seem to accelerate that.

7:15 would block the date on most of my watches. I usually like to have the date wheel visible and 12 o clock free. But I think we can all agree that the hands have to be spaced out.

When the question about the special Jack Forster watch came up I KNEW he would bring up the Easter complication, I remember him bringing it up a couple years ago on Hodinkee Radio and it hasn't really left my mind either, such an interesting problem with not a lot of real world impact, but that's what the world of watches is today, nobody needs one, but we obsess over them anyway

Rest in Power brother! Gone but not forgotten.

his dream watch ideas are nuts, shows his passion for horology

That three gong sunrise/sunset complication would be so good.

Grand Seiko would be best positioned to implement that sunrise/sunset complication. They just need to get their spring driver to power an IC with a GPS receiver. Easier said than done I imagine.

Fair to say I can’t understand around 90% of the discussion but still decide to continue watching until it finishes.

A latitude and longitude complication to make the sunrise sunset complication work. I’d like to see that in a mechanical watch. 😉

The ‘at your location’ part might have to be assisted by some type of electronics with GPS. Just thinking out loud

what watch brand would you recommend for a budget around 4k. I like tool watch

hey hodinkee, i'm fascinated by the grand seiko spring drive. but i'm curious, how might it fare against traditional mechanical movements in terms of reliability?

QUESTION : I understand from Rolex they only use IF diamonds for their timepieces. What exactly does that mean, and where are they sourced from?

Ding ding ding!!!!

Finally someone answered the forbidden question

Do u always wear a mechanical watch and a smart watch concurrently ?

Is Jonathan McWhorter any relation to John, the linguist??

I thought he was about to say: "hey if 8.50 is your favorite, then set your watch to that time, stop it and enjoy"

6:30 is the best time on a watch, hands down…

He’d spec a round watch, whilst wearing an Apple Watch.😅

Because sunrise and sunset is dependant upon where you are at at the time of sunrise or sunser, you would have people complaining all the time that its off.

the real question is how did Jack get a ROLEX GILET??? And where can I get one

Sad to know that this is the last Hey Hodinkee with Jack

Anyone else find the insurance ads annoying?

3:55

Spring drive? Why don’t all watches have this (patent allowing)? The stuttering seconds of the Swiss luxury movements has become an irritating motion for a watch so expensive.

Winding and setting a watch is all part of the experience of owning such watch. If you’re too lazy for that then use your cellphone!

The reason is they sell boring watches at huge prices and there appears to be no shortage of suckers out there.

I called Hodinkee today to buy a $7K watch and they hung up on me because I would not leave a message and wait for a "remote" person to call me back.

Watches have "wheel-trains", not "gear-trains", "whee-to-pinon", please make a note of it.

First!

He did NOT answer the question!!!

Why can Rolex do a solar power movement.....?

plesse please please stop wearing two watches... thats if you can call an apples watch an actual watch

Who cares about Easter?

How about it’s because “spring drive“ is a hoax. We don’t identify a watch by the system that powers it. If we did quartz watches would be battery watches instead. We’ve always identified watches by the escapement, either mechanical or quartz. Seiko pulled off a genius marketing move by calling quartz watches that are driven by a spring “spring drives“ because they knew no collector would buy these watches if they were simply called quartz.
