Talking Watches With Adam Levine

You can tell that Adam Levine – whose band, Maroon 5, has won several Billboard Awards, even more American Music Awards, and a few Grammys – has been around the watch collecting world by all that he's seen, owned, and in some cases, sold. In many ways, Adam is an old-school watch collector – buying what he loves and not caring what other people think. He's owned everything someone "should," and now, his collection is simply full of things he loves. And that's the best kind of watch collection.

John Mayer deserves a award or something for how much he has contributed to popularity of respectable watches

I barely check out Hodinkee anymore, but when Ben does a Talking Watches, it reminds me of why I first liked the site. This is the best of Hodinkee. Even though I don't know Maroon 5, Adam Levine comes across well and seems likable and down to earth. Excellent interview!

Ben reminds us again he is the soul of Hodinkee. His ability to ask good questions and listen intently make for legendary Talking Watches episodes.

Ben’s face when he said super simple day-date in steel 2:09 😂😂😂 I can see the memes already.. sorry … 😅

Adam mentioned John Mayer giving Maroon 5 a big break as an opener: As a freshman in high school, I saw them open for John at the RPI Fieldhouse in Troy, NY (a hockey rink, basically). I think it was 2001 or 2002. That performance made me a fan. I love how their cross-section of interests, like watch collecting, has evolved since then. They've gone from playing to a few hundred people on the same bill to owning Rainbow Daytonas and becoming music legends of our time. So incredibly cool.

Can’t believe Hodinkee posted such a blatant franken Paul Newman 😂 No way Ben didn’t notice that

"Adam is a true watch enthusiast” -Ben
“My first watch was a stainless steel Day-Date” -Adam (SS Day-Dates don’t exist)

[michaelschwartz]

Love when Ben interviews cool people, my favorite Hodinkee content

[aprilshowersstormtrooper]

Unfortunately, the Paul Newman Daytona’s bezel and the pushers are clearly fake!

Would like to see some interviews with folks that have zero Rolexes.

Plz Guys, Nothing surprising here, Rolex daytonas, Gmt masters and a Patek, all watches we've seen a thousand times before on talking watches. Adam is the kind of guy who comes into a tattoo shop and asks for a tattoo. I have a feeling it's the same for his watch collection.

Ben holding his tongue the entire time 😂😂

Ben is starting to look more and more like a middle aged father who practices medicine from upstate New York

[DanielFernandez]

Though I strongly disagree with Adam's: "Get a Rolex dude, it doesn't get better... like why would you go anywhere else?"... still a good episode.

[SamuraiJackson]

Ben double checks that it's a real Porsche Speedster at 12:25, but never pauses to make sure the Rolexes are real. 🤣

[ginge]

Perezcope spotting all the fake parts on Levine's Daytona and yet it goes past absolutely every 'expert' at Hodinkee. Lol.

I was at an airport about 16 years ago and saw this guy carrying a guitar. I asked him what band he was with and he said "Maroon 5". It was Adam Levine. The way he carried himself, I could tell it wasn't a garage band, though at that time I had never heard of them.

[currencyworld]

Glad to see Ben on talking watches. All of the important interviews should be him. Adam always comes across as a genuine, unpretentious guy.

My grandad had an “Omega chronograph” 😂😂😂
