My car blew up today. I felt like crying. I saw my wrist and after watching this is video. I said myself. I’m here and I’m here to stay. Always forward never back.

The one area Rolex totally missed on and you guys captured so well: The pursuit of excellence in the family. Not in the boardroom, not on the tennis court, but among those we love. Congratulations. Very well done.

This is storytelling at the highest level. So great to showcase your parents and their stories.

What a tribute to your parents. Very moving, had me in tears at the end. I immediately want to share this with my wife. Thank you Christian for this

Fantastic video Christian. What a testament to hard work both professionally and familially. It really highlights how attached watches can be with achievements and memories. What really hit me the most was when your mother said that the new Rolex was apparently hers but that the promise had to be that she would give it to your daughter. What a way to bond three generations with one inanimate object! Amazing. Only problem with this video is that it has me searching for a solid gold Rolex.... Which I cannot afford at the moment.

"I'm not gonna sugarcoat it, there were some real tough times. But throughout all that we never gave up on one another. If there's one ingredient to why we're sitting here today, it's the Gold Rolex" - the man himself

Superb! Beautifully shot. What an elegant, comprehensive way to hear about watches and family, family, and watches, and what it all means. Really great stuff.

content like this is an absolute minefield for being cringey or out of touch and you guys navigate it so, so well. instead it comes out thoughtful and authentic. kudos, insanely well done.

Best Watch Review video I have ever watched. The Stories. The Journey. The Memories. The Lessons. The Chronology are Purely Timeless. Thanks. You easily got my subscription and hope these video is seen The world across.

One of the best and most healthful and touching videos from T&H. On what memories, stories, milestones, etc is all about. Love the storytelling and how watches associate to this, what branding is all about.

Honestly, mom’s advice about raising kids is some of the best I’ve ever heard. Certainly the first time I’ve ever put this way. “Raise your kids to be people you will want to hang out with.” Her saying that she lost her best friend the day her mom died and that she’d be okay because she raised two new best friends made me tear up 🥲

All these 1980’s America vibes. Makes me nostalgic.

Your mom made me cry when she talked about having to give the watch to your daughter. Absolutely beautiful.

Christian….well adjusted ?! Get outta here! 😂

my great uncle immigrated to the netherlands and later belgium during the war in indonesia which he just barely escaped. He came from nothing, found his talent in making beautiful dresses for weddings, bar mitzwah, etc... He rewarded himself with a Rolex 18238 and a Patek 3700 to remind himself of his success and to, well, fit in. He had and still has beautiful taste in everything, watches, clothing, furniture, food,... He's worn the daydate every single day and night, and it shows. He's old, isolated and can barely walk anymore, but me and my parents regularly drive up to belgium to visit him and hang out. Years ago he gifted me both of his watches on my 18th birthday, to show his gratitude for our help and just... accompany him, since most family never bothered to keep up contact. Coincidentally, I was just getting into watches at that time, and I suspect he knew that. We decided to sell the Patek for his own retirement fund, he had absolutely NO idea what it was worth!! I regularly wear my daydate and I just absolutely love the story behind it, how it reminds myself of him, my family, and where we came from. All of my indonesian side of the family wears gold :) idgaf if some people think it looks tacky. Love the video.

Buy gold better than buy a gold Rolex

Awesome story. Gold Rolex in the 80's were a lot more affordable than today.

LOVED this video. Really great job. No one does it better. I grew up and was in my teens in late 80s and early 90s. This video really resonated on a nostalgic level, and the influence from that era on aspiration and tastes today.

Wonderful video! Thank you so much for sharing. I grew up in the 80’s and yes I too lived in a small studio apt. With mother, father, and younger brother. Looking back I enjoy to appreciate family time. All of my watches will be going to my daughter so that she may wear it and or give them to my future grandkids. Though I couldn’t say it even better “family is my Rolex “!

I've seen your videos here and there. This one won my subscription. Paradigm shift for definition of success... Family goals!

Now THIS is what this channel should be about! Well Played!!!

The most compelling and emotionally intelligent storytelling in the watch world right now, in my opinion. Came across the video of your grandfather, and have been floored by each of the following stories. Bravo!

For those of us fairly new into horology, this makes me understand the emotional value behind these archaic, jewelry timepieces. Bravo!

My head says just see through all the romanticization and dismiss this as just materialistim. But the video is so well put together, filmed beautifully and has captivating subjects that my heart says - go get a Gold Rolex. Excellent work guys! One tech question - the video is so crisp and filmic - wanted to ask what camera was used.

This video is beautiful and creative. Story telling at it’s finest. You perfectly captured why a lot of us love luxury watches, a celebration/reminder of what truly qualifies as “the good times.” Thank you for this.

This is why I love watches. So many beautiful moments about the people behind them. This video hits right in the ‘feels’.❤

Mom won with that WG Day Date. Wow

Rolly is such a hustler. Respect the man!

One of the most incredible videos I have ever see. "That is my gold Rolex" at the end made me chiver

Beautiful video Christian, as always

It’s great sharing this with us. I sincerely appreciate it, for real. And this Day-Date is stunning !

Well done. What a nice close-knit family. I miss my mom and dad everyday. Nice that Rolex was introduced into the video, but that was about love and friendship. Your sister favors your father, you favor your mother. Keep up the good work with your videos.

Just purchased my first 2 tone gold / steel datejust with diamond markers at 42. Wish my dad was alive to see it. Great video.

Wow. That comment about "investing in someone" is such a great lesson for us all to learn and keep in the front of our thoughts. Well done video!

Great! Thats Exactly waht I Love about you guys! I really feel emotional touched ❤ Great Great Work 🎉

So this is the video that earned my subscription. Amazing storytelling!

I just found this KZfaq channel today and watched a few videos…this video is my favorite!!!! Great life advice and a great watch.

I sometimes give christian shit in the comments, but when he does his real heartfelt film making....... its absolutely awesome!!!! I love it!

Nice man. I'm in pharma industry too and I'm 37 and I got a couple of rolexes and working myself upto a day date when I turn 40

What a lovely people they are, so warm and open. Great examples! This made my day! Thank you so much for sharing this! 🙏

Thanks for sharing your family with us. Touching video.

Christian, this is the Story of Me & My wife... We have given a Rolex to each other for our 30th (lady date-just yellowrollesor white human ns / Date just pinkrollesor Wimbledon for me... I love your channel but I can say your parents are the best ever, and I can tell when they said “A life of sacrifices, we start with zero”...this is the story of our lives too... Congratulations Mom & Dad... From Ulises (a Spanish guy living in London and a Rolex employee) 😊❤

Christian ..what a beautiful tribute to your parents ..lovely to see ..thank you !

100% that Christian came up with the idea of mentioning the fact that he gave his mom the gift lol.

What a great film. Great parents. They look so happy.

Dad with the mic drop! 👏

Such a beautiful story. It embodies a good life in itself. I understand a Gold Rolex. I’m getting one now:) thanks 🙏🏻 great video.

This was awesome, excellent work

Great video, got goosebumps at the end👏👏👏

Excellent excellent video! Top notch! Beautiful delivery! Thank you for posting!

Dude! A KZfaq watch video that is emotional 😢 ❤

This is the most Staten Island thing on this channel

Fuck. This isn't just about a watch, this is real love. Family. Good job.

Wonderful story, you made me cry.

what a wonderful video…just wonderful as simple as that. its not only about status and watches, its about your familiy and your gold ones

Awesome video, wonderful combination of strong family values, with a timeless product,🍷🍷

Brilliant episode, lovely family reminding me of my own and since your parents are just 2 years older than me ,I feel I can relate to their story so much more… I’ve been following your stories for a while and as a watch lover I truly appreciate the sophistication and natural class of your presentations and personal taste . Both my daughters got into watches eventually and it makes me happy that we can communicate and commemorate some special moments through our mutual passion . Also, it’s rather evident that your parents sacrifices were not in vain and if there’s one thing that can’t be said about you in “ new money “ but rather comfortable elegance,which is the logical conclusion of that union and you and your sister (from what I’ve seen of her ) perfectly fulfill your parents expectations Have a great and productive year ahead and remember to keep the balance ! Best wishes from Cape Town 😊

This is fantastic storytelling and you’ve earned a subscriber today. Thank you for sharing.

Art in pure form

I love every minute of this life story, and watching the longest Rolex commercial I’ve ever seen!

Phenomenal story. Thanks for sharing.

Definitely want a Rolex to pass down as a family heirloom now.

What a great heart felt video!

Short answer - Because you can afford it 🎤👍

what a beautiful story. waht a beautiful family. From Valencia, Spain.

All of the watches are stunning

Wow, what a great story to tell and share with others.

America needs more families like this. Very touching.

This was beautiful to watch and I keep returning to watch it every couple months 🏆

Besides the whole authenticity of this happy couple sharing their story...there were 2 key words in the beginning from the husband...Capitalism and small government...Amen

Christian, this is your best video ever!!!!

That was a great video! Thank you for putting content out that is emotional and real. It’s a rarity in today’s society to see family cherished. Congrats to you and your family. I pray continued success and happiness.

A beautiful video.... Love it. When KZfaq is full of people asking about how much their Rolex is worth as an investment. This highlights the true value!!! Owning something you invest your love and feeling into.... You have a wonderful family

Loved every second of this

Ima truck driver and I bought a 18k gold day date 41mm and it didn't make me think I was upper crust. It was just a watch that would be worth what I paid for it when I sell it🤷🏾‍♂️

This video is inspirational!!

Fantastic and moving video about the true emotions that a watch can bring.

Amazing vid!

Literally stopped this video to put on my Rolex. Bravo.

Beautiful family story told with an elegant loving touch. Reminds me of the famous first sentence of Leo Tolstoy's novel Anna Karenina “Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.” Listen to you mother Christian, she has the wisdom of a women that understands the secrets of making a successful family!

One of the best watch video ever made

Never seen a better pitch for the day-date.

This is a beautiful video Christian, your family story is wonderful! Your parents seem like some very inspiring, salt of the earth people! They sound like heaps fun parents to have!

I loved every minute of this.

I like this a lot. It actually made me reflect on my journey, my young family, and how I hope to be seen by them long in the future.

A truly INSPIRING piece!!!

He’s right, it exudes, “I’m here to stay”

This is one of my favorite pieces of work you’ve created.

Beautiful mini-doc. I will be sending this to my dad

Golden Rolex is the best protection against inflation: Gold + Rolex price increases in CHF + joy of wearing!

One of the best films I’ve ever watched on KZfaq 👏🏾 Awesome family unit and beautifully told!

Wow that was an amazing short film. I felt the emotion

T&H’s style of marketing really speaks to me deeply. I love this.

Nice family story. But, I personally really don't like the aspect of Rolex that is purely a way to differentiate wealth. Your watch shouldn't make others feel bad, by you wearing it. And possessions, you own, shouldn't control your life.

I always feel like I have to take a shower after watching these videos.

Cool to know you used to work in the pharmaceutical back in the days. That attitude itself on taking a lower pay and foresee the future potential. Respect and salute! I guess you worked for Zeneca (ICI)

Your parents are the sweetest couple. Enjoy every moment you can with them.

And to think they grew up on Staten Island...

Amazing video Christian. Thank you for sharing your parents success in career, and raising a great family. Also, tying that back to watches makes it even more spectacular.

Dammit. This is beautiful, I normally don’t comment… but as someone who loves watches and has two young kids and aging parents it’s just absolutely wonderful to hear stories of live and love and family. Yes it’s about watches, but there is something so meaningful when it’s tied to life events and experiences.
