lapis lazuli was the finest and most expensive colour used in european renaissance paintings, they had to import it by ship from india or afghanistan, thats why they also called the colour made from it 'ultramarine', which is latin for 'beyond the sea'. lapis lazuli is also one of the reasons why Venice became so rich, back then most of the coulor traders were from Venice.

4:40 It's called egg tempera and it was what painters often used before oil paints took over in the 15th century. Egg tempera (not to be confused with regular tempera which is a kind of gouache or poster paint) was made with egg yolks, water and finely ground pigments - such as the mentioned lapis lazuli, which was used for the color best known as ultramarine. It is more translucent than oil paint so colors appear more brilliant because light reflects against the (usually white) primer. It is also highly lightfast, and it won't yellow over time like many oils do. Oils became popular as they take much longer to dry than egg tempera, which allowed painters to blend more tones, refine their technique and create lifelike paintings. Oils also spread more easily, can be mixed with mediums and thinners, which all makes it easier to work on very large paintings. Oils are also easily stored in soft metal tubes which was a simple invention but one that enabled the emergence of plein air painting and impressionism. There are masterpieces painted with both egg tempera and oils, but the latter remain the gold standard for the art of painting. Never mind me, I'm just a watch nerd... :)

I love when Mike pronounces Porsche wrong and Christian corrects him and pronounces it wrong, but in a different way :)

My son and I flew down to Savannah and picked up a mint ‘82 Porsche SC in chiffon white and drove it back to NC after hanging at the beach together for the weekend. The car is great. The memories with my son are priceless.

The best part of that Family Guy bit is at the very end when Peter asks the salesman “Why aren’t you writing any of this down?” and the salesman replies, “Because you are wearing Sbarro wrappers for shoes!” 😂🤣😂

I actually laughed out loud watching an informative video on watch collecting. You guys are an awesome team. Love your videos.

[tomsudds]

Amazing episode guys!! Had me in stitches

Great conversation (as always). I believe 3 watches - whatever they are - is the perfect collection size. After 3, you’re probably just doing it again, but at a higher level.

[nedflanders]

What’s up guys. I love the humor you bring to these videos and I always learn something! Keep up the great work. 😊

I'm in the process of selling all my watches (half a dozen mid tier Seiko and 700+ (no that's not a typo) collectable G-Shocks - it's a long story) and have now bought my exit watch, a Hesalite Moonwatch. I couldn't be happier, it's not small but then the legibility is excellent and it doesn't look silly on my 7" wrist, but best of all I set it in Feb 2023 and it's still within one second. That's more accurate than any of those quartz G-Shocks. I've got some overseas travel coming up and I want to take it with me so I can keep it wound up, but at the same time I don't want to change it to the new location's time-zone because I don't want to pull out the crown and break the spell.

[AndreaDoesYoga]

Love your watch collections, truly inspiring! 😍👏

[SuperRoach]

You can tell when some people are more than work parters. The way you two laugh contagiously with each other is great!

Not even 20 seconds in and I already know this will be amazing.

The Speedy definitely fits your wrist Michael! Because of the asymmetric case, the outer bezel and the black dial, it really fits and feels like a 40mm. It’s also supposed to be a bigger than “normal” watch since it’s a tool watch. Don’t let the specs get in the way of a fantastic watch!!
