Home Office Setup & Quick Tour

By subscriber request, here is a quick and unprofessional tour of my home office & desk setup along with an overview of some of the office furniture and decorations I have. My office is full of mid-century modern, Seattle, Japan and random car stuff.

I love it, you have a really nice house. Speaking about Japan, my twin brother lives in Tokyo since 2017 and he’s married with a Japanese woman and I have a niece, 50% Japanese and 50% Spanish. She is 5 years old but she prefers Madrid than Tokyo. Thank you so much!

[@JANTHONYCHANNEL]

That's cool, what a small world. Never been to Madrid but would love to see it one day. Sounds like you have a great excuse to see more of Japan. It's one of my favorite places on earth.

[@Nachovalenti899]

@@JANTHONYCHANNELYou are right, Japan is a spectacular country and its culture, customs and traditions are incredible. It’s great that you are studying Japanese, although you know that speaking it is feasible,writing it is crazy. Well yes, if you have the opportunity, visit Madrid. There are people from all over the world and what is often said about this city is that you feel part of it from the first day. You have great museums like the Prado, beautiful architecture,very good restaurants,shops of all kinds, large and beautiful parks like Retiro park and many fun places. Of course, don’t forget to visit Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, the stadium of the most successful football club in history,Real Madrid. You will love it.

Honestly, I have three people that work for me now, all born and raised in the US and all have lived in Spain at some point or plan to when they retire. I've honestly never heard a negative said about it. I appreciate the tips, hopefully I can make it over there some day.

[@hellper198]

You have a beautiful home and work area. Thank you so much for letting us into see into your personal space.

[@JANTHONYCHANNEL]

Thanks for taking the time to watch this random video, I appreciate it!

So I followed you ages ago for the watch content, but I never realised you owned the M Roadster. I live in the UK, where insurance costs are largely dependent on driver age and HP output, so an M roadster is out of the question for me at the moment. But I have the 4 cylinder Z3 in silver. Small world! Still great fun, despite the lack of power - especially in the bends! I bought it a couple of years ago after I passed my driving test, and have loved every minute with it since. Chassis is solid, but I am doing a lot of rust-proofing and preventative maintenance at the moment in the hope I can keep her on the road for another 20 years! Always nice to find people with common interests. Would be cool to see your car featured in a future video. Keep up the good work :)

[@JANTHONYCHANNEL]

That's awesome, the 4 cylinder one is the Bond car used in Goldeneye and the lighter front end means awesome handling. That's really cool that you have one too. You can see mine briefly at the beginning of the Rolex President video I did last month. I'll see if I can get some more video of it in the near future.

[@trent1477]

I think I’d be speaking for everyone by saying we absolutely want to see the boxes of car models you have!

[@JANTHONYCHANNEL]

hahah, It's still too hot to crawl up in the attic and dig them out. Thanks for taking the time to watch this random video.

[@cedarcanoe]

very nice to see you posting often again, take care my friend

[@JANTHONYCHANNEL]

Great to see you sticking around after all these year's my friend, I really do appreciate it!!!

[@thestig007]

Love the recent videos! I'm currently renovating the upstairs of my home to include two offices for my wife and I, a bar, and a server room (I'm an IT nerd). I always like to see how people build out their home offices!

[@JANTHONYCHANNEL]

Me too, hate the layout of my office honestly, the way it's setup it's hard to do the layout any other way. A server room sounds awesome!

[@guillermoalto4803]

Really cool stuff. Sophistication and character. I also have those Ayn Rand books, but aside from that and watches, my interests are a lot different.

[@JANTHONYCHANNEL]

Appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment, my interests tend towards the nerdy side. What are you into?

[@guillermoalto4803]

@@JANTHONYCHANNEL Aside from dismembering streetwalkers in my bathtub? Not too much. 80's/90's nostalgia, movies...I dunno.

Nice man cave!

[@JANTHONYCHANNEL]

Thanks for the visit

[@ryanduffin4120]

Very cool. I would be worried about the Navy Surplus instruments. That stuff likely has nasty stuff in it. I wouldn't want it in my house due to risk.

[@JANTHONYCHANNEL]

Fair point, I suspect that they may have lead paint on them. I love them and am grateful I found them. They still smell like the submarines they came off of...

[@edhammond6911]

Cool

cool man cave bro !

You have a beautiful house!

[@JANTHONYCHANNEL]

Thank you, I appreciate that!

[@frankv7068]

Nice! I heard Mike the Snake 🐍 also has everything you’ve collected, he’s an expert, and invented half of it! Btw do you have Japanese fountain pens and cooking knives like Shun? Also is that tall clock a Howard Miller clock?

[@JANTHONYCHANNEL]

Clock is a higher end brand than Howard Miller that no longer exist, it's called Colonial Molyneaux. And yes, I love Japanese fountain pens!!! You?

[@frankv7068]

@@JANTHONYCHANNEL I don’t own Japanese fountain pens yet, I have European brands but I admire the fact that Japan is so keen on quality. It’s interesting how they matched and even surpassed many things, from car making, to watch making, fountain pens and even a little hobby I got into of collecting Japanese kitchen knives, I do have a collection of luxury Shun chef knives, don’t know if you’re into that?

[@JANTHONYCHANNEL]

Honestly I've seen the handmade Japanese knifes with the beautiful, hammered finish but have been too afraid to try to bring them back from Japan. I think they are downright beautiful! I believe the ones you have I've seen at William Sonoma; I'll have to check them out. They are a work of art!

[@mdo5121]

Nice tour thx which area or city in Japan would you recommend

[@firasal-jubouri1312]

Hi Anthony, Iove the setup. A quick question: I trust your experience in panerais so which Panerai is better in value the Pam 00104 or Pam 00090? Thanks

[@JANTHONYCHANNEL]

I personally prefer the 90, like the Power Reserve indicator etc. The 91 is actually my favorite PAM.

[@firasal-jubouri1312]

@@JANTHONYCHANNEL yes, it does look better with the power indicator. Thanks

[@michaeledwardlenzi]

I assume(o) you like the Sumo. I have almost bought that watch a dozen times. Is it something worth trying out? I, like you, have owned so so many watches. My collection now sits at zero after a ruthless and bloody purge. Now I am left with first watch in the new collection paralysis. Can you help a brother out with a little guidance on the Sumo? I have owned a bunch of Seikos including various SKXs, Turtles, 62Mas, Willards, etc. Again, it is great to have you back stalking the gilded hills and dales of the KZbin kingdom. --Michael PS: I have long discarded the false belief that cost necessarily signifies quality and true value.

[@JANTHONYCHANNEL]

What are you looking for in a watch? I would recommend the SUMO all day long. What do you want a watch to do?

[@michaeledwardlenzi]

@@JANTHONYCHANNELTo be novel. Easy to read. Not bulky. Low key. Accurate. To name a few things.😊

[@JANTHONYCHANNEL]

The SUMO wears like a larger watch, I think the bracelet and shape of the Monster is honestly more comfortable than the SUMO but it could just be me. Honestly, I don't regret buying either the SUMO or the MONSTER and wear then almost every time I travel. Have you looked at the PRX Powermatic 80, love mine to death as well.
