Talking Watches With John Mayer

[TeddyBaldassarre]

This might be my favorite video on the entire internet...

[luisbologna]

does anyone else come back to this video on a regular basis?

[Gordybean]

"It's excessive in some way, but there is an excessiveness to ambition as well".

I love the way John speaks and thinks! 

[pulomapanda]

This is my comfort youtube video. Every couple of months, I come back to it. There is something incredibly beautiful about the way John articulates his points.❤

"I clean up dog poop wearing a Patek". That's the life

[goodwrench]

Its ridiculous how many times I've watched this

[sammansoor]

"This is a watch, if you wore to dinner, it's invisible to people unless you know what it is - those are my favorite watches"

[Hi_Chew]

I watch this video regularly once every 6-7 months since 2016. Love the sentiment, love the content, love my watches more each time I watch it.

It's so nice not seeing diamonds all over them.

Who else comes back here after Talking Watches JM Part 2?

[nolanreed]

Things that I picked up on after watching this again, years after seeing it for the first time:
1. The "45 on the back" of that Datograph was the price, $45k
2. This must have been early enough that the "Batman" nickname hadn't been cemented yet
3. An IWC diver, to John Mayer, is the "Ford Focus" in his collection of "Ferraris"

I come back here every time I feel stressed out. The way they speak passionately about watches makes you feel like you can get happiness from a lot of corners of life...

Still my favorite 'Talking Watches' episode to date.

[paulhanson]

Nice interview with a nice bloke. It's great that John Mayer doesn't brag / show off, but exudes his love and appreciation for well made time timepieces that have stood the test of time with regard to design.

I can never even hope to get to this level of wealth in watch collecting. I have 4 modern Timex Marlin re-issues on nice straps that I love (two 34 mm hand-winding, and two 40 mm automatics, one is a Snoopy Space Traveler automatic with a red leather strap to match the red seconds hand), a modern Seiko Alpinist white dial, a modern second generation (version 2) Orient Bambino black dial, and a modern Seiko Baby Tuna save the oceans Antarctica blue gradient dial. It is what it is.

[LifeeMe]

I could just sit beside him, and listen to him talking all day without getting bored.

[kevinvanderveen]

This remains to this day the purest expression of what it means to love and collect watches. I come back to this video so often.

Never thought a watch conversation is gonna be that calming

May 2022: Watching this for the 10th time! It truly is one of the best "talking watches" episode. The music, the set, the people...everything is perfect.
