Talking Watches With Aly & AJ, The Indie-Pop Duo With An Eye-Opening Vintage Watch Collection

Webster Hall, New York City. That's where we caught up with the musical duo (and sisters) Aly & AJ just before they were set to take the stage in front of a sold-out audience. The venue was shaking from the soundcheck as we eagerly awaited our sit down with the pair.

Both Aly and AJ Michalka are well known in the entertainment world. Both have spent a considerable amount of their lives acting – both in television and film – while simultaneously building a devoted fan base for their music. Go to any one of their shows and you'll see every last fan dancing jubilantly and mouthing every last lyric to every song. We saw them during their tour in promotion of the album "A Touch of the Beat Gets You Up on Your Feet Gets You Out and Then Into the Sun." But we weren't there to talk music (though we did a little bit), we were there to talk watches (which we did a lot).

And don't forget to SUBSCRIBE to our channel. Thank you!

This was an amazing episode. Love seeing women collect beautiful watches. I plan to watch this episode with my daughter. I have already gifted her two watches from the past. She already has an eye on my IWC Spitfire. She loves this one. I plan to give this one when she graduates from college next year. Thank you for this episode.

This was a great episode so glad to see that they truly love watches loved seeing that 1999 shot of her getting so excited over her watch as a little girl

Kind of crazy. I remember as a kid watching these two on the Disney Chanel. Now I am 28 and a watch collector and they are too. Aly and AJ have fantastic taste and I can tell they are very into it. I really like fact of how into the story of the watches and the history behind them. Aly and AJ have really grown up since there Disney Channel days. Great video I really enjoy it.

I'd never heard of this pair of ladies before this episode (I'm old and I listen to classic rock), but I loved their approach to watch collecting and it was a pleasure to see them on this episode of Talking Watches. More of this type of episode with women collectors please.

Great episode. As a female watch collector it’s nice to see 2 young women into vintage timepieces. Love their stories and their collections.

This was a fun episode, the home video and stage footage really brought the story to life

Wow this takes me back to the days they were on Disney, such a dope episode! Loved hearing their stories and why they chose each one. They’ve got amazing taste, that 404j is incredible

Love this. Give me Talking Watches with every breakfast bowl of granola and dried cranberries.

[sakurikala]

What a great episode! It is always great hear the intresting stories behind the watches and especially when people have true passion for watches. I hadn't heard of them but now I have to listen their music also. 🙂

Shoutout to the interviewer. I thoroughly enjoyed every interview you’ve given. Keep killing it.

[TheNotoriousKID]

I don’t even know who these girls are but I love their collection and accompanying stories.

[neiltandy]

Great talking watches. Loved it and need more like it!

Wow. Great episode. One of the best ever. I have been encouraging my teenage daughter to embrace watch collecting, and she’s mildly interested so far. Kudos to HODINKEE to be pushing the equation, and encouraging the hobby across gender, age, occupation, lifestyle, etc. I was captivated by your guests depth of knowledge and enthusiasm.
