Talking Watches With Alton Brown

[jasonsawatsky]

This was a amazing episode! What a story about his fathers

[NicholasG]

That is an incredible story with that Omega and his dad. It's awesome that he was able to find it again

[AvocadoJooze]

The story behind that chronostop really got me. I'd be devastated if i ever lose my old mans piece.

The story about his fathers Omega was absolutely incredible. Amazing what is possible with the internet nowadays. I can't even imagine the feeling he got when he was able to reunite with that piece!

[SiopaoSauc]

I teared up. I could feel the emotion in Alton's voice as he spoke about that Omega.

What an interesting guest. Ben is the best interviewer—especially because he knows when to talk and when to listen.

That's how it's done.. personal stories about watches. Not look at this super ultra expensive watch I got.

Oh, man. His story about losing his father's watch really hit home. My apartment was broken into and I lost my knife collection. My dad had passed down knives older than him to me. I hope I will get them back some day. This really hit me hard.

From the bottom of my heart Hodinkee, you made my day!

[EMKWANREVIEWS]

Really enjoyed this. The Omega story was deep! Talk about fate!!!

[shipmate]

Hodinkee... do one with a "Seiko collector".

Alton Brown can pretty much talk about anything and captivate anyone who is listening. Love when he talks about food and now I love when he talks about watches.

I can't count how many times I've watched Good Eats and paused, rewind and paused again just to try to catch what watch he was wearing. Funny cooking show with a dash of watch style. Gotta love it.

That's the thing about watches. Its the story behind each piece. That Omega was just the icing on top. I would have loved to know what tag heuer model my dad had when I was young and got stolen when our house got broken in to. I will never forget that day.

Hands down my favorite episode. Legendary story about finding his dad's watch on EBay after two decades of absence.

[rbeneveds]

The story about re-finding his Dads watch is Amazing! Loved all the pieces in his collection! Great episode!!

[mastamuffin]

Amazing episode! I am a HUGE Alton Brown fan! Thanks Hodinkee!

[marchills]

Good lord; first John Mayer and now Alton Brown? And they're both geeking out over watches? Where the hell has this channel been all my life that I'm discovering it only now? Um, yeah: subbed.

[ryanm]

That's a crazy story about that Omega, really awesome that he got it back 20 years later.
