Talking Watches With Brooke Shields, Model, Actress, Entrepreneur, And Icon Of The '80s

Talking Watches With Brooke Shields, Model, Actress, Entrepreneur, And Icon Of The '80s.

One moment, you're writing 600 words on the supply of Rolex steel sport watches, and the next you find yourself standing in the kitchen of one Brooke Shields, preparing to sit down for a little conversation about – what else – watches. In a gorgeous 19th century townhouse in the heart of New York City's historic (and iconic) West Village, Shields pulled out all the stops, and all the timepieces, for an honest discussion about her career, and how it's mirrored through the watches she's owned and worn.

But why Brooke Shields, and why now? I mean, I don't think we really need a reason to talk to her, but of course, we had one. She recently founded her first entrepreneurial venture called Beginning is Now – a lifestyle brand aimed at promoting and showcasing women starting a new chapter in their lives. In addition, she has a new movie hitting Netflix called A Castle for Christmas. So before you chill too hard in front of the television this holiday season, sit back, relax, and enjoy this episode of Talking Watches.

The fact that she tried to return the GMT master after the original owner passed away just shows that she’s got class. A lovely episode of TW.

I'm a woman watch enthusiast, so I'm very happy to see Talking Watches with a woman. More please!

[patricksmith]

You can really tell she wears her watches and doesn't baby them. Very cool interview and great to hear Brooke's perspective on watches.

[Paka]

This was actually WAY cooler than I thought it would be.

[corneliussavopoulos]

that story with the Italian's GMT was epic. highlight of the vid! I even looked him up (Roffredo Gaetani Lovatelli), he's a count and died in a car crash. A boxer, Ferrari dealer who dated Ivana Trump at the time of his passing in Tuscany

Brooke Shields strolling around with a GMT-Master is a level of cool I can only imagine. Great video!

This is what watch collecting is all about, regardless of gender, status or age! Well done Brooke - all class!

[aigriculteur]

The fact that she contacted the brother of the man who gave her the GMT so he can have it back speak volume about her. What a fantastic woman.

[cedarcanoe]

class and honesty. She is a great and humble person. Well done Hodinkee.

“This Rolex I won in a jet ski competition”

Brooke Shields is a lot cooler than she gets credit for

[SteveFWatches]

I missed these talking watches episodes. Nice to see the stories behind these. Funny how she got the GMT.

Finally! A woman who appreciates watches that didn't get them from a boyfriend. Please more women that know about watches like ms. Shields herself

I have always been a huge fan of Brooke. Now that I know she’s a ‘watch girl’ I love her even more!!! Excellent video. Thanks Brooke for doing this!!!

[bratcliffe]

I love watches and I absolutely adore, admire, and respect Brooke Shields. I worked with her on "Army Wives, " and she is a true giving actor and human being. Her professionalism, kindness, intelligence, and work ethic, is only mirrored by her passion for a positive life, and that energy and spirit shows in her watch collection. Thank you for sharing a beautiful journey and collection through the eyes of a beautiful human being.

The fact that she tried to return the GMT to the guy's brother highlights just how different this was to the Talking Ex-Boyfriends episode. Lovely collection, and such a cool, classy woman.

[henryliu]

This episode is so much better Than the “talking ex-bf” ep; it’s not even close. Another great ‘talking watches’, thanks hodinkee.

Great interview. I really appreciate Brooke’s collection. Each watch was carefully thought out and had an interesting story behind it.

[rthor]

This is my favorite interview yet! Brooke is such a genuine person and her collection seems so personal to her. Keep up the good work Hodinkee.

[queensbuilt-timewilltell]

This is way better than the Bethenny Frankel Talking watches. I know there are all kinds of watch collectors but Brook Shield seems to be less superficial about her enthusiasm of high horology.

[ManuEl-udxz]

Very cool to see that the watches get worn and enjoyed as everyday essentials. The dings, scratches and residue show proof of that…
