In Conversation with George Bamford; Personal Car and Watch Collections

[@Iamsergiopagani]

Love this guys passion for vintage cars and watches. It really comes across. It’s great to see a collector who is happy to enjoy his cars and watches, celebrating the dents, the natural wear and tear, and the rich story behind them 👍

[@davidhouston8017]

Thanks for the video. I’ve always been intrigued by Bamford customized watches. Meeting the man has been enlightened me. Much appreciated.

[@mso008]

I love how you've decorated the garage. It's rustic, classy and cosy. Love it. And the car collection is sublime!

[@watchdogpodcast239]

I enjoy George. His podcast has gotten me into the world of strange and out there watch designs. Not sure I'll buy one of his watches, but he certainly has created a successful business. Also can't hate on a guy for being born wealthy. Enjoyed this video

@@hack169 The way George conduct himself you can see he would’ve made something of himself anyway so doesn’t make a great deal of difference that he was born into money.

[@jolness1]

@Yorkiepoocharlie His dad is a British billionaire owner of JCB which was founded by George's grandpa. I mean good for him but also, it's easy to say "I don't care what it is worth" when you have that much money lol

[@samjeram4584]

What a dick comment. Why be bitter towards somebody else’s success?

[@f.kieranfinney457]

Exactly. Tweaking a few existing watches doesn’t buy this kind of wealth. The CEOs of major watch brands don’t live this well.

[@Bardi1717]

If I had a pound for every time he said "love" I could buy a half decent vintage wrist watch! Someone send him a Thesaurus!

I like George's attitude towards his collections, he almost never mentioned $$$ in whatever he's trying to say. All about his love and the awesomeness, his custom watch work are my taste too.

[@baguiowatercolors3586]

love collecting watches but could only afford certain ones, loved cars but could only drive one a Toyota higlander but im happy!enjoyed viewing revolution watch and this one is my favorite among many others thanks revolution watch I've learned a lot

[@phototristan]

I kept waiting for him to say “I really like”, but it never happened

[@lewisatkinson7277]

I think this man's passion is great. Yes, he's from an extremely wealthy dynasty, but he's making the very best out of the immensely fortunate circumstance he was born into. He could have easily went the other way. What he's doing is really creative, and very cool. As a car and watch lover I think what he's doing is awesome. George, if you happen to read this comment, don't mind the bollocks written below, and rock on old chap!

[@ljr35]

he really isn't making the best of it, he just spent a vast fortune on pretty toys, and makes more pretty toys for other rich people, any fool can do that.

[@ajjtv831]

Truly passionate about cars and watches

[@benendesc3931]

He didn’t choose to be the son of jcbs ceo . However he didn’t really have to work for a huge amount though ... besides that I bloody love what hes doing with the custom watch game

[@tobias1991o]

This guy is so upper class it hurts. don't get me wrong, i like it. but it derives my admiration away from thinking he's self made.

[@stardust4711]

This man has so much passion.

[@thlee3]

Im kind of shock Revolution would associate with a mod shop

[@impsire]

I’m tempted to go back and count the number of times he said LOVE.

[@MadMan-cp6tn]

Bamford - how to desroy beautiful watches... ;)

[@James-gk8ip]

Well in fairness, modern Rolexes look pretty awful (like Chinese copies), and he fixes up the disaster that is Daytona.

[@MadMan-cp6tn]

I also prefer 4- and 5-digit models but sorry, bamford makes it even worse.

[@ruimarques_]

I'll rewatch the interview with Alfredo Paramico to see a true enthusiast, a true humble man and a very knowledgeable colector that happens to buy multi-million dollar pieces to reasure myself that being rich has nothing to do with being a bit of a snob...

[@jolness1]

Much better interview. This was... meh

[@SCDC-Channel]

pure ART

[@chinosoto5116]

I really loved this video. Cheers george.

[@robynsjp]

It is like the 1967 scratched 321 on my wrist, I wear it because it is an intense memory enhancer, igniting the most cherished or feared memories of my 1960s childhood, it will for one brief shining moment bring tears to the eyes, speed up your heartbeat, remembering sacred moments, tragedy and joy, and loved ones, what is the dearest to you very deep inside. A 2022 piece, even worth 1 million, cannot do that. This is why I cherish 1960s sports iconic pieces.

[@noahbln6072]

Nice collection you have. Your incredible lucky mate.

[@BadgerVito]

Strange video. He comes off as so arrogant, and so comprehensively lacking in charisma, that it has the net effect of making me far less interested in his watches, rather than more.

[@Tom-jc7sk]

He’s not like that in real life though

[@altonotis1975]

I've met him and been in his garages and you couldn't be more wrong

[@nikolaatsev8340]

George, you definitely should mod one JCB excavator in Bamford style.

[@bspoojari1]

fantastic collection

[@ricardoskerrett197]

*Chef's kiss* awesome content!

[@ReynierAvon]

Loved this guy and his collection. Truly inspiring.

[@whereRbearsTeeth]

Inspiring?? Someone who straps a uniform on every day a defends their country, that’s inspiring. A born billionaire that has had his life handed to him on a silver platter, not so much.

[@garywarner7541]

I too am a man of simple taste , the very best will suffice !

[@joseluismonterofernandez9261]

Is it me or the painted hands look too agricultural? They look as if the hand was just dipped in paint and stuck into the watch. Maybe I just need to see one in person

[@thomaschristopherwhite9043]

It does look like that. Because that what they did.

[@criminaljustice1234]

Jose Luis Montero Fernandez I totally agree with you

[@Wa-wk6qk]

Hahaha I think he just sits there with a paintbrush and a warm glass of milk before his wife tucks him in bed

14:35 why would it be hard to build those cases today? They also shared the same movement. So bamford is run by a watch newbie? Also why would he assemble a mgb engine when he's a Ferrari enthusiast. MGB are really easy engine to build great fun for newbies. Awesome car collection though!

[@marcelfeierabend8276]

the best is that damn' cool garage ..... wish I have one too. Greetings from Switzerland, Marcel 🇨🇭💋

[@clansey1973]

Are Bamford co-branded luxury watches going to be The Collectable thing in the future? Too easy to criticise George for inherited wealth, he certainly has passion and is employing people to create unique desirable goods. Far more interesting a film than I initially thought it would be. Tudor would be a good brand to get the Bamford treatment perhaps?(!).

[@lewisatkinson7277]

Nicely put. Couldn't agree more.

[@timmo3351]

They did some Rolexes a year or so back so Tudor range makes sense.

[@adampoots1850]

I doubt it - limited edition watches or non original watches don’t become collectible...... generally.

[@christophermichael5764]

Bamford Tudor Black Bay 36...I'd buy it!

[@morgan97475]

Cool video. Not sure which I like more: the beefed-up Defender or Ferrari Heuer watch.

[@Kabaselefh]

Please folks, share his passion instead of judging his character, unless you are a narcissist.

[@TC-lc3uf]

I like the watches and cars. So what if his dad is owner of JCB. Easy thing to do is to talk about diggers. But he is doing something completely different. Fair play.

[@theparkerstudio]

Outstanding video. Bamford has excellent insights and a wonderfully creative approach to adding his own interpretations to already great watch designs -- a far from easy task. Also, the quartzes in his collection were especially interesting. Thank you for posting this.

[@weishenglau4220]

Hahaha... Yeah...

[@CaptainZed]

Great video.. watched the entire production and enjoyed it all the way through. ✌ I love the the entire concept and re-takes on automotive and watches.

[@fastdays_1]

Don't know why but I feel douche vibes from him..really not a genuine guy I would like to chat with. Best quote when he talks about the Defender " we spent a year and half understanding how to make a naughty off roader" LOL if you go to a specialist it takes 1 min to figure out what to do on a Defender so the rest of the time is just the money you pay to build it (but of course for the sake of making it "unique" he had to say that it was a long process with the best minds involved). You are lucky to afford a wealthy life so less bullshit and just talk real. My best

[@saivakazaka7704]

i would never, ever, ever, buy one of his watches. how he sells them i don't know.

[@wearetheunknown8162]

Fair play to this chap, great cars and watches. Real passion for what he does, which is great. He seems alright, cool interesting chap.

[@julianmcwey866]

And a "designer" who changes a watch from the original design is a narcissist!!!!! Sorry I dont get it

Can you give the movement of the Zenith. You explained nothing about the movement. Code, calibration etc.

[@lewisatkinson7277]

You are bitter aren't you?!

[@OJW14]

Is he a designer for tag or does he own it ?

[@fastdays_1]

Neither of the two..he just customise watches nothing special (I never understood the hype around Bamford as there's really nothing special and imho they look worst than the originals but you know nowadays people just want to showoff so everything is about the brand)

[@Bzy6000]

I disgust what he makes but love what he collects
