Gold Vs. Gold, Hot Sweaty Watch Showers, Watches In SPAAAACE, And The Evolution Of Watch Culture

[@mad131313]

Jack is so good. The humour, insight, intelligence, eloquence is all so engaging. Well done

[@ThePianoTester]

He is my favourite

[@scottkeator8519]

I couldn’t agree more with your stance on price discussion

[@thorsten9437]

The price argument is so true ... distracts from all aesthetic aspects and technical miracles in those tiny machines. Especially for some brands the talk everytime gravitates to prices in the end 🙄

[@vincent67239]

And treating it as a vehicle for speculation without considering the object to have any actual inherent value. Like what stocks would be if “value investing” and “fundamentals” didn’t exist. Like (some) crypto.

[@edtollway3730]

There is no end to Jack’s wisdom. Should you ever come to Sydney, let’s have drinks. My shout.

[@animarku570]

4:50 I learned something new, inertia, interesting

[@AliasEveWatches]

Definitely agree, i hope we don't come to a future where discussions around watches solely revolve around prices and making money off watches.

[@KidCharlemagne.]

This channel rocks thank you !!!

[@BeckVMH]

Very knowledgeable and articulate.

[@ianferris]

Jack is very knowledgeable! Great video

[@jonboy8181]

I LOVE how scientific this episode is. Thanks Jack!

[@davetaddeo]

i have a dive watch (GSAR) when i wear it on top of my sleeve while hiking at -30°C, condensation will form on the inside of the crystal. i assume that when i unscrew the crown in a 50%+ humidity environment, humidity does get in. upon sealing the watch by screwing in the crown, humidity is 50%+ inside the watch. therefore at cold temps that humidity will condense. so i figure.

[@SteveFWatches]

Jack dropping the knowledge hammer again. Well done 👏🏼👏🏼

[@LambentOrt]

This is the only video series by Hodinkee that I can watch without feeling like I entered some kind of tired boring Rolex fanboys club.

[@GailitisPrintmaking]

Another great episode. Thank you!

[@edwardbudriss4475]

What is that pendulum ‘bird’ you use in your videos? Where can I get one.

[@iangibson6871]

Educational and entertaining as ever cheers Jack!!!

[@521tifosi]

Going back to the discussion of condensation: I have a BB58 that I recently wore at Disney’s Aulani resort. While there, I wore my watch in the pool and snorkeling in cold water. When I went to the jacuzzi area, which is about -100 degrees (the same temperature as a warm shower), I was concerned about condensation in my watch. I only submerged my watch for a few minutes, and being the worried person I am, decided not to spend too much time in the jacuzzi with my watch and weny back into the pools. The next morning, I saw stains on the crystal of my watch. When I got home, I sent it in to Tudor, and they said the gaskets and crown were fine, but the anti-reflective coating on the underside of the crystal was the problem. They said it was a defect and replaced the crystal for free, which is awesome service, but I still believe it had something to do with the warm water in the jacuzzi as the stains didn’t appear until after that day. I won’t wear my watches in the shower or jacuzzi again because I’m worried it might happen again.

[@Eric_Nielsen]

Great ending Jack. So much focus on scarcity, hype, and flexing! These are something like 10th, 11th, and 12th on my list of reasons to love a watch.

[@BenTramer]

Haven't seen you on the Monday show recently?

[@matteodifra]

Love it please keep going!🤗

[@andymccormick7542]

Jack is a treasure

[@darkdodo708]

I thought the speedy that went to space were manual movement, not automatic?

[@harrir8690]

Knowledgeable and wisdom 👏

[@charliejones2570]

I love this series! So nice to hear unusual questions that you’d never think about answered succinctly

[@SFCB1954]

Jack, it is such a pleasure to watch you sharing your expertise with the watch enthusiasts. The best from HODINKEE.

[@johnburgess6572]

George Daniels noted the pleasure and amusement one feels of just holding a pocketwatch . If we lose this we have lost indeed.

[@hyperchord]

I got into watches because my wife bought a (modern) pocket watch that looked mechanical but was quartz. We were both sadly disappointed. Its such a rewarding experience turning over a mechanical watch.

[@furiousg1904]

Thanks always!!!👍🏼👍🏼

[@RogerWilcoSnr]

Nobody ever seems to talk about Rolex watches in any other way than as an “investment piece” nowadays. But greater fool theory always ends in tears - as some Rolex (& RM) owners may find out….

[@vincent67239]

As the prices goes up and up, the camera zooms in and in.

[@Judah.Rosenthal]

I rarely feel smart but immediately had zero reason knowing why both a mechanical watch would work in space.

[@theSUPERmere]

"No pun intended" detected! Lol.

[@vinnyv4315]

love the punts hahaha

[@Dilldog1]

We're all just going to ignore the patch of scruff under Jacks chin that he missed shaving?

[@michaelriera6277]

Good catch, happens to all when rushed.

[@SevenFields108]

I interrupted an episode of Reacher just to watch this

[@tylerricci1549]

I miss these

[@markikn3183]

"...scientifically proven by scientists..." Thanks Jack.

[@stevefox8605]

I thought don't wear any watch in a shower/bath because the detergents damage the seals over time.

[@sonalpatel6119]

Thank you .

[@stevesmith7997]

My watch obsession started with my first proper watch in 1966 Over the last decade the information available on the internet has been fantastic ! The only down side are the prices and people who buy for investment and not for love! One video i watched a chap take delivery of his Rolex and he didnt take off the tags and promptly put it in his safe having no intention of wearing it? I found that sad!

[@iamdinkel]

So love the Science!

[@tookiejones9765]

Jack here's another one, Amalgamation. It also has the added benefit of sounding like, what it means.

[@mcorsig]

That thumbnail! LOL.

[@m.e.p.r]

The question of gold type is also linked to colour....18cr looks more gold than 14cr and 12cr, which look a lot more dull, not a bright gold basically, so doesn't look as luxurious.

[@guscrossing]

Whomever asked the gravity question should really know better if you're in the hobby!

[@puccini4530]

Gold purity. I doubt you're right. My (crested) signet ring was given to me when I reached the age of twenty-one. It's made of hard 9 ct. gold alloy to maintain the seal engraving. It has never, in the past sixty years, shown any sign of oxidants or finger staining.

[@Mans1810]

This jack guy is really knowledgeable. How does he know all this about watches. Even condensation test 🤯. However I am not sure he answered the question correctly. I think what the first question meant was: is the watch resistent to steam which is a gas like air.

[@mayankpahuja1876]

With the prices going up, up and up... I would never be able to afford anything luxury and would stick to Casio/Seikos.

[@BrittPearceWatches]

Almost first 😜

[@vipsoarer88]

The first comment in the video ... check out the double slit experiment..talks about atoms reaction to human observation vs not observation

[@nimblybimbly4002]

The main concern is people constantly talking about prices so we should talk about these other aspects..... and how they effect prices. haha 7:14

[@tracephoto1823]

Viv la micro brands who appreciate their customers and price fairly.

[@phmwu7368]

So far eight different wrist watch makes have been exposed to outer space during spacewalks/Moonwalks (Omega, Glycine, Bulova, Fortis, Fiyta, Seiko, Konstantin-Chaykin and Panerai). Check MoonwatchUniverse Tumblr photoblog for images and detailed information 🧐

[@john-carlosynostroza]

Why when a watch is like 30 m water resistant do they say you can't even swim in it? Why don't they just say it's not water resistant at all or just put one meter or something? How can they say 30 m water resistant but you can't even take a swim one m deep? Like, the Panerai Due... 30m and swim= no no according to most dealers, owners, etc... Can you even shower in a 30 m watch? Jeez lol

[@codys5727]

Do i make the podium for 3rd?! 😄

[@indy0t0]

I thought this is Johnny Depp talking watches for some reason...

[@mauriciomonge5349]

I take this opportunity to tell you what about you they lie to me a lot with their Rolex there are too many brands in the market, Corum for example, to talk about something different but since you don t sell it they are not interested in talking about it.

[@balthus9265]

It’s really worrying how much price and potential appreciation of watches has taken the central stage of this hobby. Too many people buying watches as investment, specially in Asia and mainly Rolex, taking out the chance of enthusiasts to buy the watch they want. The market has gone insane with speculation.

[@ajackofspades]

It's essentially a ponzi scheme now. Tonnes of people blindly buying rolex on the hope that they will forever go up.

[@vincent67239]

I’m also worried about those speculators getting bored and moving on to some thing else, crashing the watch market and harming brands with the oversupply and decreased demand. And then the grey market would still profit from this🤦‍♀️ Like they came in, salted our crops, and left.

[@iamdinkel]

An automatic watch works in Space. Just an example. This is quality.

[@phmwu7368]

Of course the first automatic wrist watch was already used during Gemini V in August 1965 as Charles Conrad wore his personal Glycine Airman GMT automatic pilot watch? The first automatic chronographs were used onboard Skylab-4 as Gerald Carr wore a Movado Datachron HS360 and William Pogue wore a Seiko 6139-6005 auto chronograph...

[@thefallen924]

Some would actually blame Hodinkee for this whole watches as investments mentality that has ruined the hobby.

[@PhilipWing]

"I feel like that it has risen to a deafening clamour that really makes it hard to have any other kind of conversation about watches" Never have I agreed so much with a statement about the current watch market. When I got into watches, about 10 years ago, no one around me care about it. Nowadays many of my friends, colleagues, people I meet, have all become "watch nerds", but the only conversations I have with them are "the current market", "pricing", "speculation", it's almost as if it's become an extension of the whole crypto craze, which is a huge turnoff for me.

[@oalaqeel]

NASA movie studios have gravity that's why speedmaster was a success.

[@johnbalian874]

First maybe

[@billybenson3834]

Don't understand people who shower with a watch.

[@BobbyDazzler888]

Boycott Rolex

[@r6louier6]

60 seconds in and i lost interest so boring
