Why I'll Only Wear Gold Rolex From Now On.

NOTE: there are NO give aways in the comments section of this video

There are few things in the world as universally sought after as a gold Rolex. Of course it's a status symbol, a flashy gold timepiece built to show the world that you've made it. However, to some, it's much more than that. It's an acknowledgement to yourself that you've hit a milestone, you've made it to a point that previously felt so far away and so hard to achieve. The weight of a gold Rolex is more than the incredibly dense metal, it's a representation of where you've been, where you are, and how you got there.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

"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.

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.

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.

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

[FightingMango]

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

[latinballa]

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 🥲

I don’t know how this channel appeared on my stream, but you nailed this video. Kudos.

[notenoughtime]

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.

[sgtable]

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 “!

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

[parkje]

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

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