Talking Watches With John Goldberger, Part 2

Показать описание
One week in Geneva (of the hundreds I've spent there) stands out for me above the rest. The year was 2013, I'd been asked to be a sitting member of the Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Geneve for the first time – the first digital journalist, the sole American, and certainly the youngest at the time. That same week, a young Aurel Bacs would be putting on the first thematic watch auction called Daytona, Lesson One. It would be the first time we'd see crazy results of Rolex watches, including the first time a Daytona would crack $1 million (it was an Oyster Sotto – remember when those were cool?). As an aside, our dek on that recap story was "50 Watches Sold, 50 Records Set" – yeah, those were heady times.

It would also mark the first of probably – nay, decidedly – too many birthdays that I spent in Geneva instead of at home. And also my first visit to the Geneva Freeport (to see Alfredo Paramico's "Precious Time" collection, which was truly mind-altering). And finally the weekend we would film Talking Watches with a particular tall, dapper Italian collector who was relatively unknown to the watch collecting public: John Goldberger. We actually filmed on my birthday at a cafe next to the Hotel des Bergues where the Christie's sale was taking place – we put it out a few weeks later, and well, the watch collecting world has never been the same.

Sometimes before i fall asleep i think about john opening a priceless rolex case back with a butter knife after wiping it on his sleeve.

What I respect is that he can enjoy a Patek 570 or a unique Rolex 6265 in white gold but is also at home wearing a Casio G-Shock. Complete respect for a real old-school gentleman.

So glad they incorporated the cheese knife into this video. Possibly the most epic moment in taking watches history.

What a treat! Ben and John back together again. John is draped in humility and is the epitome of Italian Savoir Faire! Love the matching jeans jackets! I first noticed Ben’s then John one upped him with a Jean jacket with a lapel! Awesome guys. Plus the watches were amazing. The hand painted Cartier dials! Chef’s kiss!

Ive been following Hodinkee since the very first talking watches episode. In fact, this series is what grew the passion for me. Lately the content that has been produced just has not really captured my attention like it used to. I am not saying I lost faith in Hodinkee... but if I had, this video right here would have completely restored it!!!! Outstanding video, so great to see Ben back at it in front of the camera and thankful John Goldberger shared his collection with us once again. Thank you Hodinkee.

The knife episode must be legendary because all the memories it brings to our minds. My father and grandfather used to open their watches to show their children the heart of the machine.
