To a special niche within the watch collecting community, military-issued watches are the object of great fascination. From WWII field watches to Milsubs and Kon-Tiki IDFs, a watch with a military-specific past is undoubtedly a special and rare thing that survives as a token from a life spent in a very specific sort of role. In my mind, better still is a military-issued watch whose original owner is not only still alive, but still loves his watches. All of this serves as an introduction to Philip "Moki" Martin, one of the most interesting and humble collectors I have ever met. For the full story, go to: www.hodinkee.com/articles/tal...

bluemystic7501 real easy. Our “big life accomplishments” are certainly worth celebrating with a great watch. But none will be as epic or important as stories like in this video. My wedding, or the birth of my child, or graduating from college will not contribute at all to the legend of that watch. These stories are the reason these watches are what they are today. Don’t take it personally.

This was my favorite episode by far. Of course I say that about every episode. This shows that at the heart it's not about collecting watches it's about loving watches. No matter what the cost it's the story that makes the watch special. Too all who care about the watch they wear everyday, we are bonded by the love we have for our friend who sits on our wrist and never let's us lose track of time. After all with such a short time on this earth our time is so valuable.
