Talking Watches With Greg Norman

If you watched televised golf in the 1980s and '90s, then this Talking Watches guest is someone you know well. During his playing career, Greg Norman was a fixture on the PGA Tour who had a knack for being in contention in tournaments both large and small as they unfolded late on Sunday afternoons. (When Norman himself mentioned that he selected a certain watch to play with because it didn't reflect too much light in the afternoon sun, I found myself knowingly nodding along.) In all, he spent a total of 331 weeks as the world number-one, winning 91 international tournaments, 20 of which were PGA Tour events, as well as two British Open Championships. Norman came in second in seven other majors, and his status as an all-time great was cemented when he was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 2001. This is your official Talking Watches with golf legend Greg Norman.

I really appreciated this story on so many levels, not only the history and thought process behind Greg's selection of watches. But for me, the fact that he was a self-taught golfer who started at age 16 and accomplished what he did on the course is amazing.

Greg Norman is my all time favorite golfer. Brings back childhood memories of watching golf with my father on Sunday.

Yeah, so it would have been nice to talk about a few more of the watches on the table.

Is there a reason these are so short? This is the series that catapulted Hodinkee, there's no reason to edit them down so short. A solid 20-30min would be great, especially with icons like Greg Norman. Would love to hear him talk about watches & details he loves, life stories, future purchases, what he hopes to see from brands, regrets, etc.

GhostDiver short because basically Norman is not a passionate of watches obviously: he received most of his watches as gifts, never wore some and endorsed others for contract purposes. I don’t see any clue of true watch passionate here :(

This episode of Talking Watches has the best chemistry and flow between the collector and interviewer. Greg and Jon seemed to have a very fluid conversation about the watches, and Mr. Norman's stories came across as very honest and real. Even though we have another "rich guy with gold Rolex" story, this one felt much more geniune. Like others in the comments, I'd love to see a "part 2" of this interview that covers the Panerai on his wrist and the Patek (tourbillon maybe?) on the table. As always, I look forward to more Talking Watches. Thanks!

Greg Norman is a brilliant entrepreneur, as he is a brilliant golfer. A very principled and intelligent man, Norman is easy to admire. Besides, as a watch collector, I enjoyed listening to his explanations of each watch featured. I happen to own a few of the ones on the table (including the two tone Breitling and the Rolex GMT) and the Panerai GMT he was wearing on his wrist. The man is first class and deserves every bit of goodness in his life.

I travel globally for business. I have the immense pleasure of meeting and getting to know a lot of lovely people, in every known profession, and I could care less about "celebrity status." In a social setting (neither I or them conducting business), the two biggest d-bags I've ever encountered are both professionals from the same sport. Golf. Chi Chi Rodriguez and Greg Norman. Treated everyone around them like crap, even though virtually no one in the particular setting of the moment even knew who they were. Hope Norman's packed an asbestos suitcase for his after-this-life trip.

When viewing these Talking Watches videos I hope to see how a watch has caught the imagination, how the watch has been hunted out, how the watch has a meaning to a point in the person's life. Unfortunately there are a few videos whereby the 'collector' has been given most of their watches by sponsors, that to me is not a watch collector, to me watch collecting is knowing about watches, learning about the differences in models, understanding the watch. I don't mind if the watches in the collection are lower, middle or top of the range, whether they were bought new or found after having a previous owner, what I don't want to see is a very expensive watch sitting on a table with the price ticket or ID tag still attached, that to me is wrong. There have been some really good interviews, some great watches, and some brilliant stories, lets have more of these videos please.

@dougm659 5 жыл бұрын

some very nice watches there, not all uber high end stuff which is revealing...a guy who spends time hiking in the mountains needs a tough beater watch he can rely on. He makes a key point about watch collecting and that is that every watch should have a story behind it....marking an occasion, event, anniversary, achievement....otherwise they're just possessions which soon get forgotten!
