When Jasem Al Zeraei started Patekaholic, he simply wanted to share his deep passion for a watch brand that has an almost mythical status amongst collectors, Patek Philippe. He soon became the most high profile advocate for Patek on Instagram, acquiring a massive following in the process. You could say he was one of the OG watch influencers and his content had the power to shift secondary market values. In the end, it is the friendships he has acquired along the way that he values the most. In a wide-ranging conversation, Jasem shares his thoughts with Wei on the power of social media to influence taste, why he has started to buy Rolex and the state of watch collecting today. It's time to make watch collecting great again!

I think its really cool how he talked about going from the watches on the steering wheel pictures to getting what he really loves its shows how with time you find your own style and feel comfortable doing what YOU love.

Awsome conversation. Thanks a lot to be that open anout social media. You don't really hear stuff like that from other collectors on this kind of level. I mean, I can't imagine that a lot of "Influencers" would be that honest 🙏

Great discussion and interesting views. I own a Daytona 116509 and its a great watch in every respect - the quality etc is simply magnificent. I also own some VC watches and I think the Gold Daytona is a good match for them. How many gold Daytona's compared to SS models. Amazing that Patekaholic now feels more love for/from Rolex, didn't see that coming.

It’s no coincidence that he was the first one to post about the discontinuation of the 5711 because the staff at the Patek Philippe boutique likes to talk a lot about all things Patek!

Jasem is the guy who made Tiffany dials famous as he has quite a few of them. I think all it's dumb, You cannot tell me Tiffany who sells 10 dollar item as well is more valuable as a brand than Patek. The nautilus specifically is the least interesting line up within the brand. I feel like alot of influencers are out there to enrich themselves.

So he finally realizes that the overly passionate loyal brand worshipper game isn't enough to get direct access to Patek? In reality, Patek don't need guys like him - the merely rich - they target true high-net-worth individuals. Patek were just playing along and now that things are too convenient for them they no longer need to please the Instagram fanboy blogger with less than half a million followers. Patekaholic is too insignificant to be worth consideration from Patek and it PAINS him. He is not even wearing a Patek in this interview LOL.

@DonLee1980 Жыл бұрын

honestly, I don't feel his passion for watches. like he said, he was in it for the hype, and the gram. The watches he has on his instagram, he doesn't bother to fix the dates, pretty sure he has little interest with the other complications. Judging by the fact he just wears Daytona's, a simple wear and it and forget it attitude, he probably doesn't turn his watches around to look at their movements either. The Rolex is the world's most popular luxury watch brand. As a watch lover, I respect that, but Rolex is one of the last brands I'd expect to find passion in watch making.

Why does the Middle East like gem set watches so much? Even the gem pateks are garish and lack any refinement or taste. Similar to wearing Ed Hardy back in the day.
