No idea who this fella was before the introduction and knowing made no difference ... just enjoyed his enthusiasm and enjoyment of his collection. More of this type of content and guest please 👍

[@dkveg]

I didn’t even know after Adrian explained 😂 Seems a top bloke though. Really enjoyed this vid.

[@RocketDog73]

I did not know who he was either. Never heard of the band either. A clear sign that I am getting too old 😂

[@captnagrom8178]

@@RocketDog73 Yeah , snap getting old :) but ..time is the gift we get, if you are lucky enough to grow older 👍

[@laurencemoore5737]

Love this. Two watch guys just talking collecting. No sneering, no pomp, just pure motivation and enthusiasm. This is what it’s all about.

[@MA89.]

Love this Adrian. Amazing content, more of this please

[@BarkandJack]

Thanks mate. Glad you liked it 👍🏻

[@svanvoorthuizen2886]

Why is this amazing content?

@@svanvoorthuizen2886 dialogue between two watch people, talking through a collection off/journey, good fun to watch. Very relatable. Hodinkee built itself on the talking watches concept

[@BrianNovak-gk5rb]

Anyone see the new two tone Speedys? 🤤

[@BrittPearceWatches]

I love James McVey! Such a lovely human! I loved hearing him talk through his watches. But the real question: did you guys outfit colour match on purpose?! 😝

[@BarkandJack]

BRITT PEARCE IN THE HOUSE!

[@patrickhartmann1540]

The linen dial day-date looks so good on that strap. Star of the show for me. 🤩

[@frangalvez7878]

Does anyone know what strap that is? it's beautiful!

[@BarkandJack]

Yeah it’s stunning! And the strap works so well.

[@user-tb1jy7rr9e]

I love crispy warts

[@tombundgaard]

@@frangalvez7878I just bought the same strap. It’s from Delugs. It will elevate the watch. Not cheap, but good

[@TFOtwr]

​@@frangalvez7878 yeah I love it too! Perfect strap for this watch. Curious to know what strap it is!

[@7rslender]

I had absolutely no idea who James was. And I could not have cared less about it. In the end, he's a bloke who likes watches. No matter where we are from, or what we do in life, this interest in watches brings us all together. Great talk. Loved it.

[@notyourdaddy8300]

Gotta love a guy excited about a piece unique from CW. So much more relatable than one from PP or AP. Good video.

[@MJ-we5if]

Feel the same and the dial looked great too

[@chopinho65]

This was great. His love and pure enthusiasm for watches is a joy to watch. And what a tight collection.

[@williama-d6]

is this a new segment on your channel? it was good

[@BarkandJack]

Yeah trying a new format. Glad you like it. 👍🏻

[@billmedic1995]

Like it very much! My favorite vids these days are collection reviews. Great job!

[@adamcrossfire4747]

Love this! What a down to earth guy and great collection

[@Timjacks01]

Never heard of him. Seems a nice chap though.

[@TheCrystalLakeKiller]

Nice guy but the music is not my cup of tea.

[@xu10j4rs1]

Have you heard of the vamps?

[@NinjaNovice]

Me neither; but it honestly didn’t matter. Very nice chap indeed.

[@jackblah5842]

@@TheCrystalLakeKiller had to look him up and I thought the exact same thing. also sick name.

[@GlennBulb]

What an instantly likeable guy James is…great interview.❤

[@TheAhmedalSuwaidi]

Oh man, more of this Adrian! This was solid, it's always so interesting what other people's collections look like and the narrative behind each decision.

[@GuyVanderAa]

This is it. Two guys talking about their passion for watches and collecting. Love it! 👍😎

[@lararob4673]

Great episode, more of this please!

[@TriforceRich]

Please continue this series. Love the stories.

[@dcm703]

Never heard of him before this video but James was more interesting to listen to than half the watch channels I follow on YT. Bravo.

[@kkatpheiz]

The most pure and clean person you can see - is an 30 years old ex boy-band member, not in a negative state, James is honest guy and his collection is superb.

[@julianread1996]

Very special. This was a refreshing collection and a little off the mainstream for a change 🙌. Great collection and person.

[@seamusdoherty]

Love these kind of video's the enthusiasm can be infectious.

[@wisamal-hakim5531]

I hadn’t heard of this young man previously. Charming and down to earth which is wonderful to see. Great watch collection too especially the linen dial day date wow Excellent interview well done

[@BarkandJack]

James really is a true watch guy. Glad you like it mate, it was great fun to shoot.

[@combolife]

I didn’t know who James was, but enjoyed how he explained his interesting collection.

[@caffinemc1]

can definitely see this being an awsome avenue for content - more please, love the insight and journey of collectors...

[@tomfox2271]

Lovely content. Great to see someone so clearly enthusiastic and knowledgable about his watches and the people behind them. Also supporting British watch brands!

[@robynsjp]

Thanks hearings the guy's story, the why he loves the pieces, the emotion. Regardless of the watch, the emotion was there. Good stuff, Adrian.

[@NamNguyen-hm9vo]

A celebrities with a very down-to-earth collection We need more video like this

[@miroslavrnjakovic8850]

That is a true collector. Loved every second of this conversation. Spot on

[@MrGaberacer]

Great format, great conversation and collection ! Congrats, James and Adrian for putting this together.

[@Sam-me9se]

Amazing work! Thank you

[@stianmargidosandtren2884]

One of the best this one! How great!

[@ml6008]

This was great. I love these types of sit downs and this ranks at the top. Nice work! Doesn’t hurt that his collection was pretty killer; my man had the sweetest of sweet Christopher Ward!

[@WristwatchWorkshop]

Great content. James knows his stuff, and he's got a fantastic collection.

[@nicogerard1]

YES, YES, YES. Great video. Nice conversation. Good balance of discussing the specific pieces, stories, and thoughts on collecting. I also appreciate lots of long close-ups of the watches. Many videos do not spend enough time showing the pieces that are being discussed close up, and in good detail. I’m on the record now, that’s good quality content. Thanks!

[@ericsherer3505]

Really enjoyed this. Never thought I would love a Day-Date, but that dial and that strap pairing are perfect. Enjoy that one for years!

[@drewsaunders4953]

His collection is so well balanced! Gorgeous pieces. Great vid Adrian!

[@jesperthomsen6984]

No clue who he is, but loved the conversation and format. Would love to see more of that 😃

[@BTLwatchcollector]

What an absolutely feel good conversation it was! Amazing how down to earth James was, seems like a really nice chap who got sucked in tho this horological rabbit hole. This is a bangin' idea to have a coffee with different enthusiasts and geek out in this chilled fashion! Great job Adrian, thanks for the new theme, I think there's a lot in this direction! 🙌🙌🙌

[@jayb1108]

very good conversation ... humble guy, loved it!

[@danrhodes]

Great collection

[@BarkandJack]

Thanks for watching Dan 🙌🏻

[@GunvaldOttesen]

Yes yes yes! More content like this!

[@nec4608]

Adrian this was one the best video, please keep this kind of interviews , nice and purity affordable collection of watches. Also de sound was superlative, very clear, I watch de video in my iPad in the gym running in the treadmill with earphones and I can differentiate the sound coming from you or your visit as also the sound when the watches are contacting the wood of the coffee table , excellent views of the watches too. Thanks!!! Keep doing this kind of videos

[@DialsandCrowns]

Love this kind of content!!!

[@robalexander7348]

Thank you Adrian, a great watch interview, i enjoyed James collection, nice watches and a nice young guy.. More like this Please 👍 Au

[@Herbf173]

Love this 👏congrats and gorgeous collection for a young lad 👌

[@andrewgiblin3468]

Excellent vid and really loved this guy (never heard of him before) and his choice of watches!!

[@aheuer722]

Never heard of him, but collection, and stating his story for each is well put together.

[@Rm-se2ns]

First time on this channel and I don't really know these guys but it was nice to watch. The fact that the guest would mention his "budget" was in a way relatable to me. Though his budget is very much more than mine.

[@BarkandJack]

Thanks a lot for stopping by. Glad you like it.

[@BenNS1971]

Great video! Love to see more interviews.

[@robpelletier2103]

Very enjoyable interview. Great collection.

[@TimeBaum]

This guy is a genuine watch guy, not just buying blinged out APs and Pateks. Really love that BelCanto! Great video!

[@sugatonemusic]

Such a bad ass collection. No hype. Just pure horology. That piece unique is crazy too

[@ripsapollonia]

Okay, I’ve always scratched my head about the obsession around the mamacoo book totes and their practicality, but this one is adorable!! Congratulations

[@watches2329]

Love this … amazing

[@callumryan2359]

Love this style of video Adrian! Plus James has the one watch I regret selling, the GS Shunbun. Very special watch 👌

[@andyburton9201]

Love this video. I could spend hours taking watches like this. Great collection and how refreshing that there’s no snobbery and a real mixed bag of styles and value especially for someone that could probably afford £20k plus watches a plenty.

[@scottdawson649]

Just awesome mate, more of this please.

[@dan.nguyen]

I really like your point about researching the watch to hell before you buy it, having already finished its story by the time it's on your wrist. This is something I tend to do and never realized until you said it - this is why sometimes for me, the culminating moment of getting the watch on my wrist doesn't feel as magnificent as I has hoped.

[@flo12325]

Love this format!

[@emmanuelgoldste1n]

Nice video, very relaxed setting and good chat. Looking forward for the next episode. The Bel Cantos are really a hit and well loved, happy to see a small brand having such a smash hit and people loving them! Well done Adrian & Team!

[@adamcrossfire4747]

What a great video, such a down to earth guy and cool collection

[@areebsyed3662]

LOVE IT. NEED MORE

[@alecleamus3280]

Seemed like a top guy, and a genuine watch enthusiast. I really appreciated the fact his collection included Rolex, to Studio Underd0g, and that he made a point of praising Christopher Ward too. I hate collectors who describe proper watches as “shitters”, it’s just a dumb thing to say, especially as we see Rolex prices continue to tank to levels that more represent their true worth. Excellent video, I loved the energy and format. 👏

[@thatsbod1041]

This guy has a wonderful collection ❤ great content Adrian 🎉

[@bigbk301]

This was a really nice video. I always enjoy seeing new videos from you and can’t wait to see what is next.

[@johnturnerjr7221]

American here, so this guy is a musician? Thank you Adrian for covering that in the opening. I would have never known who this was and why you'd be interviewing him.

[@Wanderlyeu]

more of this! love it!

[@crazeephill]

Great video and a great collection too. It feels very much like an obtainable collection (within reason) compared to a collection of completely unaffordable and out of reach high end watches which was refreshing.

[@louiskulpa]

Great content. Love the fact that this is a relatively attainable and relatable collection for many. Looking forward to more Coffee & Watches 👏🏻👏🏻

[@HandsomeSmells]

Brilliant content. I love that you're putting more into this channel again. I'd take this over hodinke's talking watching any day 😊

[@rmthull]

So true about how tastes change over time. Used to hate Seamasters but now love them and will be the next watch I get.

[@darellhunter2205]

Really enjoyed this. Thanks Adrian.

[@subinkrishnagopi909]

Great one Adrian. Hope to see more of these!

[@peteyls3250]

Awesome convo, awesome collection

Let's see more of this please Adrian. I feel like Talking Watches needs some good competition.

[@Fabs_Redbeard986]

Please do more of these interviews, Adrian! Really nice content. James seems like a nice humble guy, im sure you will come up with a few more people like him. Cheers from Hamburg, Germany

[@emanuelesantella4991]

Well done Adrian. Love this new segment!

[@AET2433]

Great to see just a laid back chat about watches with no agenda whatsoever. Interesting stuff about the Linen Dial Day Date and I actually love the fact there's a little unknown about it, gives it even more character for me. Lovely stuff Adrian.

[@SeanH-xj3zo]

Great video as usual! A Bel Canto in tobacco sunburst is a knockout! James McVey is a great guest! someday have him over to showcase guitars and watches.

[@TheWristocrat]

Love The Vamps’ music! And even crazier to see James here talking watches! Please keep this type of content coming!

[@joeplatz7289]

Love this episode and collection. We have very similar watches.

[@syktgrei]

Don’t know the band, but lovely to hear from him. I’d love to see more videos in this format. I loving hearing Adrian engaging in conversations.

[@micheljakobsen4543]

Super cool video Adrien. Great idea talking watches, will look forward to see more videos like this!

[@Ben-qn6ws]

Smart interview Adrian. I watched the videos James did last year and wondered whether the watch youtubers would pick up on them.

[@lakota_stu]

Love this style of content! Not heart of this guy but he seems like a really sound lad with an incredible collection 👏. Keep up the good work Adrian!!!

[@chrisagnew1988]

Really enjoyed this. More of it please

[@Jbomb80]

Love this interview. Adrian, you have matured as a host. Well done. Please make more videos like this.

[@al-knows-nothing]

On the Daydate…even if it’s option 4, the dial was fitted aftermarket and it’s not Rolex, does it matter? It’s beautiful. It’s yours. It means something to you. Just enjoy it and ignore the hype/trolls/people who aren’t in your life judging a watch they’ve not got. If it weren’t for Social Media, you wouldn’t know or care anyway. That goes for everyone, about everything. Just do what you want, not what everyone else wants. You’ll be happier for it.

[@okidoki2952]

I’m sure I’ve seen or heard this fella talk of his watch collection / obsession somewhere before….. love watching / listing to this kind of stuff👍…. Makes me wish I’d kept my goofy panda…..flogged it after the 2nd release ….just made me wonder how many more releases there will be

[@jwags24]

Normally I hate these types of interviews because they feel forced. This was VERY different. What a great collection and conversation 👍🏻

[@r1pperuk]

Nice collection. Feels like quite an intimate collection.

[@gavinwhite9743]

What a great piece of entertainment for a morning coffee.

[@99jasonhooper]

Great video and James came across really well and passionate - nice work buddy.

[@MrSaadmubarak]

Great choice for an interviewee, and i definitely have experienced where my taste in watches has "matured" ...ie changed over the twenty years I've been into this lovely hobby.

[@Barleyvine]

Agree with others. More of these type of sit down conservations. Great video.
