I’m passionate about watches, esp. these independent makers, but this video drives home how over the top the industry has become.

Incredible. What a collection. Not just built on hype

These watches are like priceless works of art. The problem I have with them is I could never feel comfortable wearing them. I built a tiny watch museum in my home and I would simply have them on display, but definitely not wear them. They are all amazing and stunningly beautiful!

@@stemikger A watch museum is a special way to treat the watches! What a nice idea. I enjoy wearing mine, but you do have to be do darn careful.

Always a pleasure when Mike shares some of his many horological treasures. And so heartening to know that such a deep and important collection is owned by such a humble and approachable guy.

Thank you, Sir for letting me watch and listen to you talking about these rare and outstanding watches. The only thing I could afford is the book "Watchmaking" by George Daniels, which I proudly own and read.

At some level you have to ask yourself.... Why is the joy from a few watches more important than literally paying for the education of thousands of children or paying for people to not die of starvation. There was a choice made.... And it saddens me.

@@William22M I give what I can. There are obviously levels and we can discuss if I'm doing enough or not. But I think it's reasonable to say the richer you are the more of a moral obligation you have to do something because you simply can. But overwhelmingly speaking the wealth consistently don't do this and actually do the opposite and then have people, mostly poorer people, justify it lol. It's funny, worldwide and America it's the poor who more of their income to charity. Because, usually speaking, only the poor actually think about the poor. People who hoard millions in something as genuinely useless as watches without a second thought to others are doing so out of complete ignorance to others because a watch actually brings them more joy and I think that's really telling. This guy is self aware enough where he made a video about how he justifies it all. I can't see any reason to praise someone who can call a spend like that worthwhile just like the other billionaires and millionaires on KZfaq and social media who do the same. It's the same wealth hoarding and endless and thoughtless greed and self indulgence.

@@William22M tl;Dr there's a huge difference between an average person buying themselves a "nice watch" and a guy spending many thousands that budget on the same.

@@William22M hey, I have an opinion and you have yours. There's enough evidence about the wealthy people in general. I think watches are cool as hell but can also discuss the larger issues that they represent. We're approaching rarely seen levels of wealth disparity world wide. You're free to ignore its consequences and I'm sure this rich guy and others will be happy to thank you for defending their indulgences when very clearly choices were made.

@@William22M that's an assumption.... All you actually know is he spent many millions on watches.
