Collector Conversation: FP Journe Enthusiast, Todd Searle and George Mayer

[@officialMainspring]

it took me awhile to truly understand and appreciate FP Journe. for awhile there I thought it was just hype. what changed for me was the centigraphe. truly amazing piece. just to be able to pull something like this off, let alone have the idea in the first place... blows my mind. not a piece I'd like to own since I'm not attracted to it's looks but a piece I can appreciate. I have plans to own the chronometre bleu. this piece absolutely speaks to me. great vid. I enjoyed it!

[@Peter-tc3ep]

A Lange and Sohne definitely tops the charts for me with its amazing movements.

[@cnbrauns]

Really enjoyed this one. Thanks!

Where's the piece unique kari voutilainen ? i thought that it'd be the last watch shown on the show!

[@jayremi4384]

I agree. A pity they did not even show a pic of that watch.

[@511dydy]

Great stuff, im tired of seeing people having 2 rolex gmts, a sub, a daytona, and an AP.

[@AP-dd3xp]

Ariaditya Pramestu I think a F.P. journey would be a wonderful addition to the collection you mentioned above (I’d only keep one Rolex), but not alone.

[@511dydy]

@@AP-dd3xp Yes I agree, i mean, its a breath of fresh air to see someone have more than 1 journe in the collection along with other independents. Too many people have similar composition of rolexes, speedmasters, nautilus or aquanaut, or royal oaks. Some would add an skx in the mix. I mean, i love seiko, but why skx...

Great forum and program concept- . Its really insightful and also allot of fun to hear collectors explore how their passions developed , express their thoughts, ideas on collecting and their personal interests. Personal passions, preferences and tastes are true mysteries - talking about them leads to insight which is always a pleasure to obtain . These seem to be a combination of values, fantasy, imprinting and rationalization that lead to desire ,satisfaction, growth. Most fascinating is that they evolve change and even reverse. Thanks for a great show guys. 👍

[@the1916company]

Thanks, as always, for your support! More interviews are in production!

[@claudioterjanian4427]

Todd and G$ 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌 This was a fantastic interview!!

[@tbd1613]

Great video. You can feel the love of watches in his tone. Saving my $$$ for FPJ. Love to see more videos like this. Simple, just two guys talking about their love of watches.

[@the1916company]

Thanks george. Stay tuned for more Collector Conversations! --Team WatchBox

[@amintaslneto]

Very nice watch talk! Please keep it up. Best, Amintas

[@the1916company]

Will do, thanks for your continued support Amintas! - WatchBox Team

[@sutats]

I love Paddick

[@bubbab7792]

Good dialogue and good discussion. You should throw this segment/content on open days during the week instead of repeat material. Watch content was stale with the usual Patek, FP, Rolex, and one Omega. Smaller independents mentioned, but still, more to choose from. Not everyone can start at Patek. So much history and so many brands to discuss. Open up the horology and history. Nicely done. 👍

[@geroldatlarge1841]

George’s views and insights on the watch world and current trends are great. I would like to hear George talk about where he thinks things are going in general. What’ s next. George - what are your favorite brands and independents? Much thanks.

[@the1916company]

Thanks Gerold - George is one of the most knowledgeable people about the watch market, stay tuned for more content from George. --Team WatchBox

[@danielkatz7516]

Wow Todd, thx for sharing about Kari calling you back directly

[@the1916company]

Cool story, right? Thanks for watching and commenting! --Team WatchBox

[@jamesmallicote3514]

What color is "Carmel"? Isn't that a town in California?

[@CQ_TheWatchGuy]

Great Video.. Awesome Discussion!!! That White SpeedMaster🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@spencerfarrow2963]

Great content as always. I presume this is Todd Searle of the Searle Pharmaceuticals family, I’m surprised there was no mentioning of the families philanthropy.

[@BobbyDazzler888]

Spencer Farrow should they?

[@valebliz]

Lmao philanthropy in the us pharmaceutical market. Good one.

[@tygaz3061]

nice review

[@the1916company]

Glad you like it, thanks for watching! - WatchBox Team

[@rickonwatches9932]

Well done George! Maybe have Jon C interview me!

[@the1916company]

We can possibly make that happen. Ask Jon to bring the request to the Studios team! --Team WatchBox

[@timeisahumanconstruct9251]

that white ceramic speedmaster looks like a moonswatch unfortunately

[@jayremi4384]

A collector with great taste.

[@the1916company]

Without a doubt! Thanks for watching Jay! - WatchBox Team

[@kennethlin946]

Journe bracelet is in red gold. Not rose gold.

[@TheWoWBane]

That's interchangeable. Some call it rose, some call it red, but the 2 terms are for one and the same. Of course, the version of rose or red gold can depend, the shade, depending on who made it. But the term is for the same thing. You know that, you just wanted to seem smart saying it's not. Sad.

[@valebliz]

Dear god that’s a shallow conversation if I ever heard one…

[@anonymousonlineuser6543]

do you guys also collect purses, how about cuckoo clocks? This hobby is so dumb it must be estrogen dependent.

[@the1916company]

Thanks for joining us on a **watch** channel. What were you expecting 😉? -Team WatchBox
