Talking Universal Genève With Collector Alessandro Fanciulli

[@FelixRodriguez-vg9pp]

Beautiful conversation. There’s something about Ben’s demeanor when taking watches with people that just works.

[@biggiebeil5118]

Yea great talk, just not sure if it was cold in that room or he look stressed out.

[@miroslavrnjakovic8850]

This one really felt like a video from the old days, really enjoyed it.

[@andrewcanella]

Ben does a nice job here giving his guest some room to speak without interruptions. If only all interviewers were like this!

[@standardh_]

How amazing he has Ben’s old watch. Wow. This was a first for sure, yeah? The look on Ben’s face. So cool to watch.

[@SoCalWatchReviews]

That was definitely cool to see!

[@malcolmlin85]

What an awesome conversation! I really love how Mr. A speaks-he’s so down-to-earth and you can totally feel his passion for vintage watches. This episode is the perfect example of what Hodinkee does best-sharing great stories and truly ‘talking watches’!

[@richardn.5854]

Absolutely great episode. Hodinkee is back!!

[@SATNARUCI]

Right video in the right time! Alessandro is a really cool guy, we met few times in Parma for the watch show few years ago. Cool watch talk btw. Can’t wait for the UG to come back 🤞🏽👑

[@timur9429]

Great episode !! The Guest is a very calm, well articulated and cool dude. Would like to see more of him and of the UG topic

[@monochromebluess]

Excellent show. Thanks Ben and Mr A. The rise of Universal Geneve is dawning

[@robertp5123]

Love this interview with Mr. A. He is so passionate about timepieces.

[@gilmayer1]

Beautiful conversation, dialogue, and a collection ✨️ ⌚️

[@AJHall-y4z]

As a UG collector myself, I am impressed and love the collection. Thank you Alessandro for sharing such beautiful pieces with us. Thank you Ben for inviting Mr. A.

[@fairfield2980]

Superb.... "I'm not as rich as people think".... That made me chuckle!

[@markmazur3157]

Ben Your interviews are without a doubt, horologically special. Thank you for your years of contributions to this beautiful industry.

[@speedmariner680]

That was refreshing! Great episode

[@oddpout]

Alessandro is also so well spoken, what a fantastic interview

[@jmiuta269]

Ben it was great bumping into you in nyc, so glad to see universal geneve getting spotlight it deserves. Guess I predicted the future when I mention I was a fan of UG? Excellent video and would love to pick your brain on more of this content.

[@steviechang]

Finally met Mr. A. Great take

[@burgerslayer83]

talking watches is my favorite. more of these please.

[@TheAmbitiousPeasant]

This is the first episode of Talking Watches that I've watched in years. I know it's selfish to say but hope they keep walking this track they started with.

[@chuckandary7115]

Thank you hodinkee these are the videos we love as. What made you the best in the watch game

[@watchclog2979]

Alessandro's passion is amazing.

[@mehditalib]

My polerouter is same from my grandfather and when I where it it makes me smile when I think my grandfather checked the time on the very same watch 55 years ago

[@chuck7851]

Great conversation!

[@themoyouknoww]

That was great. Would love to get some reviews with the old-school vintage dealers. Ex: bob maron and Matt bane.

[@SATNARUCI]

And Jeff Haris also 👀

[@jaychaudhry4039]

Love this guy . He is so passionate not about money only about the love !!!!!!

[@UnseenHero]

Great conversation. That wild 70s UG hits different. Persoanlly i am a fan of the space compax

[@xu10j4rs1]

Great video, one of my favourites from Hodinkee ❤

[@teakcore5261]

The grey ghost is my absolute grail!

[@oddpout]

Welcome back Ben!

[@jmbaug1229]

Fantastic content 👌🏼 ❤ J.

[@saeedsaeed7381]

Absolutely lovely UG collection🔥❤👍

[@notyourdaddy8300]

Great stuff!

[@Wangzaimilch]

Great episode!

[@ProfessorCarlo]

Bravo 👌👏

[@HRM.H]

Cant wait to see what UG brings in the future.

[@Janet_Airlines802]

Love UG, thanks for this.

[@hammy7528]

Hodinkee iss back

[@dannysimenauer5745]

I can’t wait to see the UG models that Breitling will deliver in the next year or two. George Kearns is paying attention to doing the details right.

[@joeyjojo8348]

Great episode

[@jessenatale6515]

WE ARE SO BACK

[@manuelmagana1975]

Best talking watches ever! Viva UG!

[@ashassets]

This is definitely the direct collection is going… and vintage swatch 😁

[@masanobuyamamoto6395]

21:07 he said he found that ONE PIECE and I immediately thought about the manga

[@james12361224]

Ben looks like he's about to make an offer on the gold tricompax

[@beforetherollie]

I don't think the white gold triple calendar shown around 10:11 is a chronograph although the text says so. The guys don't refer to it as chrono either. Anyway what a great interview.

[@Youy0u3010]

Hodinkee this is better!

[@Iuckylukey]

We cannot overestimate the huge role Ben played in educating the world about quality watches. From new to vintage to auctions… I always thought he should receive honorary Swiss citizenship and a diplomatic passport.

[@424dantraj]

Great episode, shame about the bracelet jingling audio, ultra distracting..!

[@przemyslawskoczylas5183]

Lots of substance. Finally

[@LesterLovesWatches]

Rowter or Rooter. For me it was reading Lake Success that brought me to UG. Or Tim. One of them.

[@jesuisnoach]

Here we go. UG watches about to skyrocket in price.

[@robertsmelker2614]

Again and next year it will be nuts

[@tastemakesyoulonely]

About what book Mr. A is Talking about?

[@YongJoonPaek]

next month: Universal Geneve relaunch under Georges Kern stays true to its roots. please give us ur eyeballs.

[@KelvinReiChannel]

Does Universal still still new watches?

[@killsbugsfastreallfast]

Soon!

[@jessenatale6515]

They were just bought by Brietling and are being revived.

[@tomldickinson]

Crazy

[@R0lan6]

Wonderful episode! 👌
