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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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 😊

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.

"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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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!

Wow, What a wonderful video. I have always been a big fan of this channel and the way you renew my love for watches. This time you guys really outdid yourselves. Cheers 🥂

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

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!

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

Thanks for sharing your family with us. Touching video.

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

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

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

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!

Beautiful family Christian, I’m also blessed to come from a beautiful family and now have my own going on 17 years. Like your awesome dad who’s close to my age said it best. “The success of my family, that’s my gold Rolex”

Great video. Congratulations on all of your successes and good luck for the future.

Great video, got goosebumps at the end👏👏👏

So great ... thank you for the upload!!!

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

A beautiful video. Absolutely loved it. Now one of my favourites along with the grand seiko godzilla launch. Amazing stuff, very well done

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.

This is an absolutely beautiful video. Thank you for sharing!

Christian, Great video, Great story, better advises. Thanks for sharing it ! 🥂

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!

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

HUGE Rolly fan. Christian and Michael.... they're okay too... but ROLLY and his Wife..... being of a similar age, I gravitate and relate to them the most. That said Rolly, says... that professional achievements allow you to do all the wonderful things with those you love. Such a great reminder and truly words to live by.

This was really beautiful. Thank you for sharing. Mazel tov!

This was awesome, excellent work

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

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

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

Phenomenal story. Thanks for sharing.

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

Beautiful interview

I actually appreciate a lot of the things that were said in this video in regards to my own life. There's some solid life advice in there.

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

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.

Great video! Nicely done

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

Amazing. Thank you for sharing your families story!

Fantastic video, guys! Christian, what a wonderful family you have.

Amazing vid!

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.

What a great heart felt video!

Great video and family story. Thank you!

Very nice and sincere video. Really enjoyed it.

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

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

Can anyone help me understand the reference for the white gold Rolex with the mint dial? Did they make any without diamonds?

Great video starting story and message around

Rolly is such a hustler. Respect the man!

So sweet. Thanks, Christian.

beautiful. can someone help me with the reference ? Christian's dad's datejust, what reference is it ? and was (is) it possible to fit a president ? did not get it. however the watch looks like a 1601/1603 my favourite...but in gold

What is the ref of the watch at 4:55? Black dial with no numbers or bars for the hours?

Should be 100k likes by now. Very solid content and production

Love it man. Cool video. Congrats

Great show! Thanks

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

This is such an amazing video. the best thing I saw today and it shows what really life is about.

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

I love the message put out in this video 💯

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

Beautiful! A lot more covered here than just watches.

great video. really moving and inspiring.

A beautiful video! All well deserved and truly, all my respect as well.

Beautiful family you got there. The values you parents have are spot on. Great video! Thank you for sharing.

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

Loved every second of this

Dude! A KZfaq watch video that is emotional 😢 ❤

Hi Christian! Please make a video about Rolex motif dials. Since Rolex discontinued all motif dials except Celebration OP. Also what happened with Day-date puzzle motif dial, is it still available?

You’ve provided us with a lot of great videos, Christian, but this one stands head and shoulders above even the very best of those great ones. Thank you for taking the time to film and to share your parents’ story(ies) with us, and in the context of the meanings to them of their gold Rolexes. Exceedingly well done, artistic, creative, informative, and touching. I, too, had tears of joy at the end. It’s not hard to see where you get your passion and your sense of humor … and your looks! Dang, you are your parents’ child.

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

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.

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

Wonderful story, you made me cry.

What an absolutely beautiful story! And it's lovely and hilarious how I can see Christian from watching the mum and dad haha.

Nicely done!!! More of this please....

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