Today I have the honor and pleasure of sharing with you a special #WatchTalk with Sandro Fratini-owner of one of the world's most prestigious watch collections, and lover of beautiful timepieces. In this interview on location at his horology themed Hotel L'Orologio in Florence, Italy, I chat with Sandro about his 2000 piece watch collection valued at over 1 billion euros, and how his passion for watches began. In this video we'll take a look at a few watches from Sandro's collection, including his Rolex Oyster Perpetual, Tissot Telemeter Chronograph, and Squale 1521. We also discuss his love of Audemars Piguet and Patek Philippe, the rarest watches in his collection, his preferred desert island watch, his current grail watch, how his watches have inspired his work, and more. What do you think about the watches featured in this video? Please share in the comments!

This man is literally the antithesis of many KZfaq Watch Content Creators who is screaming about how much a watch is worth, and what they can flip it for. I’m not mad at them, but this is what I imagine a true watch collector, I mean lover, is supposed to be. Thanks for the great interview!

I think he doesn't need to get a small extra for advertizing Squale, possibly he likes them like I do - super squale grey, superblue are both amazing and I'll try on a 1521 out of curiosity - plus I had a tangent tie to Maria Treleani who I remember (passed) through Squale and her passion for deep sea. Squale is no gimmick brand - I'm happy they pulled the homages out of their way @@lorandzsogon9999

Sandro Fratini definitely has a great passion for watches, and I really like that. Has a great taste too, the Squale 1521 for instance is such an underrated and beautiful watch. But at the other hand, he must have kept an eye on value, otherwise his collection wouldn't be that valuable. It's crazy; 1B €, that means 500k € per watch, are u kidding me..? 😂🎉

His passion is palpable isn't it? I have to admit that going into this interview I was a bit dubious as to how one man can own and appreciate a billion dollars worth of watches. But you can tell by the way he articulates himself and by the pieces he chose to share (that mean the most to him), that he truly has a love for horology. So, I was proven completely wrong 😅 It's nice when that happens in the watch world. Lovely guy, and as always, a fantastic video ❤

What a compliment to you TGV that you have such a natural rapport with the man who's arguably the world's premiere watch collector and horological aficionado. This is the true essence of watch collecting; an attraction to and an appreciation of the passions that led to the creation of these remarkable timepieces in the first place. The beauty and technology behind those timepieces (and that amazing hotel) are simply happy consequences of someone with taste and passion "following their bliss" as a zen master would say. This is the high watermark of true watch collecting and seeing this presentation gives me better insight into why I enjoy my very modest but still esthetically and technologically splendid watch collection so much. Incidentally, I got the strong impression that Sandro enjoyed being interviewed by such an understanding and empathic host as you enjoyed interviewing him. Congratulations on a world-class presentation on true watch collecting.

I had a similar story with watches, but instead of beginning a collection, what really interested me was the mechanics. I got a seiko 5 as a gift when I was like 10 and I couldn’t stop watching the movement through the window on the back of the watch. It started me on an obsession with complex mechanisms. I just kept learning about more and more complex machines until I eventually found out about the large hadron collider. Coincidentally, it had just been completed around this time. That was the end of the road as far as mechanical complexity goes. Nearly 20 years later and it’s complexity still stands far above anything else we’ve created since then.
@benjaminbarrera214

If you like complex watches, take a look at the TImex Q quartz watches from the 70s. Powered by a battery, but they still had a balance wheel. The watch even ticks and the second hand sweeps like a mechanical watch. There's also a tiny circuit board with a quartz regulating circuit that controls the balance. As a result, it is capable of 1/2 second per day accuracy, at least according to the service manual. It might be the most accurate balance wheel watch ever made.

If it wasn't for this channel, and now in my 50's and coming a little late to the party, I wouldn't even own a watch, now I have DJ 41, Seiko FM, and of course a DW290. TUG, the gentleman's channel.

if im stuck on an island alone with only 1 watch its going to be the breitling emergency. because i want to be found and rescued damn it! what a fascinating man and great interview though. he seems so down to earth and obviously really, really loves his watches and everything about them. love how he talks about the emotional connection and getting things you like. always good advice in collecting anything.

Really appreciate hearing Sandro's angle and approach - love over dollar-value (or Euro-value).

I don't understand Italian but I do understand when he speaks in this language because his passion transcend the language barrier. Amazing video.

This was an impressive, top-class addition to your oeuvre. Extremely ingratiating gentleman, and it's like two brothers from another mother watching this interview. Nice work, and a genuine coup for your channel. Well done.
