What do Rolex, Omega, and Jaeger-LeCoultre all have in common? Well they are in Brad's watch collection! Along with a less talked about brand (Mido) and a double stamp (L.L. Bean and Hamilton!).
Of course the Rolex Datejust gets a lot of attention but there is a lot of variety in Brad's collection that shows he's in it for the love of watches. My (Michael) favorite watch he's rocking has to be that Omega Seamaster. It's a bit tough to see in the video but the sun faded or darkened the dial to this spotted rose color and it's stunning, I've never seen anything like it. Looking beyond his big name brands though I also really liked Brad's taste in military watches, regardless of size. His Mido is gorgeous and is a watch that I would have definitely skipped over if I was on the hunt due to size. Maybe now I'll reconsider! And like always, whenever I see a Hamilton field khaki ancestor I go and ALMOST buy a Hamilton Field Khaki. Will I? Maybe!

Today, we're taking a closer look at the collection of a watch geek named Brad, whose collection includes everything from an LL Bean stamped Hamilton to JLC.
First up, we have that LL Bean stamped Hamilton field watch, which was borne out of a love for the vintage Hamilton field watches from wars gone by, as well as an admiration for all things double stamped (like you might find on a Tiffany signed Rolex or Patek). While those can be incredibly expensive, this Hamilton option is relatively affordable, and offers a great little piece of history in the process.
From there we get into his Rolex Datejust, a blue dialed piece with a Jubilee bracelet. It was a gift from his father, who intended to pass the watch on to Brad after he passed, but decided one day that he wanted to be around to see his son take on the watch and get to wear it. We move then into his Mido Multifort field watch, another vintage field watch, this one with a cross scratched into the dial from the previous owner.
Next up on the list is Brad's vintage 18k gold Jaeger LeCoultre dress watch. It came on the original strap, though that has since moved to a safe for safe keeping. Its a simple, time only option that epitomizes classical 50s and 60s dress watches in all the right ways. In a similar vein, we have his Omega Seamaster with its gold capped case and rosy copper colored dial.

Really enjoyed this video lads🤙 thank you for this!

[@seannew8930]

Hey Nico! I’d love to see you react to this guys collection as opposed to all the rappers with iced out watches. Cheers!

[@TheoandHarris]

Glad you liked it! Let us do your collection next

[@wolfcommander6009]

This is what watch collecting is all about...not IG and FB pics of the steel sport every1 has.🐺 .buy what u like 👌love the decoy collection🦆whack em n stack em

[@NicoLeonard]

I’m in 100%! Let’s talk! ❤️

[@luismiguelmaroto4730]

Holly fuck yes! My 2 fav watch channels

[@dr.willowlanding5472]

This young man just restored my faith in humanity. Incredible artist, beautiful collection. Thank you for this video.

[@mjwittify]

Forget Talking Watches... This is the absolute best watch collector interview I've seen. Evoked a real emotional response and human connection. Homerun guys. Push this video out hard. I expect it would do wonders for your already highly regarded brand. Thanks for introducing us to the humble, soulful Mr. Brad Wilson!

[@PBL-TRX-2000]

T&H is THE premier horological media company. This video was so engaging and enjoyable to watch.

[@jongoodman7563]

Beautiful. We are our best when we become mirrors and reflect the glory of others. What a cool dude with wonderful vintage watches.

[@jackseifert5361]

This guys obviously intelligent and humble, Christian great pick for a collector.

[@sidaduri6489]

Y’all stepped up your game! Absolutely crushing HODINKEE rn

[@dr.willowlanding5472]

Okay, after reading all of the comments, T&H would be fools not to hire this kid to interview all of their collectors going forward. Brads smooth, humble, and intelligent vibe would certainly take the edge off your usual millionaire auction winner, droning on about how awesome they are. I smell a Podcast.

[@nathanrowalnd3375]

I’m sure I am not alone in asking for more of these videos!

[@tim462]

I thought for a second that Christian will present bis Collection 😄😄

[@php-xv2cw]

I've heard he might be owning a blue datejust :D

[@andresduarte4740]

Same

[@alketterer]

The moment I saw the sleeves I knew it was not Christian. BTW, he already sowed his collection

[@marcoschmidt1975]

this video deserves a Grammy, I really enjoyed it. Congratulations for giving your fans this kind of content

[@shriramseetharaman7596]

Felt my heart filled with joy seeing this video...just pure emotion evoking...none of the watches shared on the video is super expensive or super rare but still when the watch is mixed with the story and the genuine emotion on the artist it is like wine...I am sure even if I watch this 20years from now, the video would just be so much more nicer and fulfilling to watch..keep this going team..

[@strk350]

The Humble collector is the right collector, someone to share experiences with 🤘

[@Ilikeavocados822]

its nice not to see a pretentious pr**cK showing us his Patek grand complication or his set of 6 AP oyal oaks he was given from the Prince of Wales. This dude is well spoken, grounded and so present its motivating.

[@williamwoods477]

Would be interested to know where Whales is... As well as why Dutches is missing an s.

[@dadcaniborrowthewatch8572]

Ok....Pete

[@rogerparis]

Nice to see in a fellow man....a kind, gentle and thoughtful soul.

[@Stephler22]

I comment extremely rarely on YT but man, that video was so enjoyable. Loved all of it and a new artist discovery to me! Just added to my fav playlist!

[@davidb9531]

Soulful people will always be interesting no matter what their interests are. I'd take 10 of these for every Hodinkee watch story talking about their promotions and how amazing they are. Class act this fella.

[@gauravs7147]

The honesty and character in this video truly shows what real watch people are about and why they are drawn to the hobby🙌 it’s not the waitlists, investment pieces, or the price range or calls from the AD

[@seannew8930]

I really like this video guys! It has so much warmth and depth and character to it; from the scenery, to the decoys, the watches, and especially Brad’s music and stories. I think that’s what I like most about vintage watches, they have such a great personality to them and a lot of stories to tell. I also really appreciate that Brad‘s collection is not necessarily the most obvious or expensive watches, but rather pieces that have an emotional value to him. Lastly, as someone with a child on the way, I really like the idea of being able to give them things that have given me joy and that we can bond over.

[@MrThekikster]

This is what I’m talking about! Real collectors talking about their watches. I’d love to see more of these types of videos. With Hodinkee only putting out a few Talking Watches a year, you guys should be pushing this type of content. Loved hearing about his interests and I could feel the connection he had to his collection, unlike that scripted Omega Globemaster video. Keep up the good work!

[@akmal7904]

The world needs more people with a similar outlook on life like him

[@lipinglin1994]

Very interesting story. No ROLEX flexing bullshit. Just a simple man with a simple taste and a great story.

[@saymyname218]

Your Rolex is one of my all time favourites. I bought this watch for my Dad and he left it to me when he died 3 years ago.

[@joel11211974]

I been a following Theo and Harris for over 4 years, and I like how their videos have evolved over the years,. This video is proof that you don’t need a massive number of watches in your collection, I have a vintage Omega similar to the one he shows here, and I’m thinking it’s time to change the strap.

[@stephenu8824]

This is possibly the best video to have produced to date. What a wonderful and genuine guy.

[@traviswatts6661]

One of those feel good videos. Made me smile. Thank you for sharing.

[@robertkubis2799]

Probably the most romantic and smartest watch review I have ever had the pleasure to watch so far...Well done T&H. and thank you Brad for your stories and passion.

[@addisonchandler6062]

What an authentically cool guy. He had 21 monthly listeners on Spotify this morning when I listened to his singles and I would bet just about anything that that is going up dramatically in the near future.

[@stevenjm12]

well it sure cant go down dramatically

[@jhcowatchinglifestyle]

What a cool guy and beautiful music. Truly thoughtful in everything he puts his soul into.

[@lmontoya70]

I had a blissful and elated yet nostalgic and sad feeling from beginning to end. Not only Brad perfectly represents the potential joy and introspection in collecting (watches or anything you hold dear), but T&H made that image very tangible. Many thanks for this. Keep 'em coming!

[@andrewbrannan8077]

Love this guy. Honest and zero pretentiousness. A true collector with great taste!

[@complicatedtime]

Wow!! This guy, Brad Wilson is Uber-interesting. What a fantastic, creative discussion. Great collection! Love his decoys!!

[@museachina]

Best watch video on internet… the music, atmosphere and his interests in the watches are really fascinating

[@Sam-dk4cj]

I believe this video got me into vintage watches. That JLC is a stunner!

[@phillopp]

this just encapsulates the work of theo and harris. amazing video. moving message.

[@davidsbikeride]

He is someone whose attitude and behaviour's are composed and uniquely their own

[@danielmadrigal8831]

Loved this video!!! Keep them coming. The music is amazing!!!!

[@Dakshmarwah]

Hands down the best video you guys have posted till date. Keep up the good work 👌🏽

[@drzaius844]

Amazing, on all fronts. Great music, great human, great watches, great cinema.

[@jamesmacdonald3060]

Home run!! Brad is sooo my vibe!!!

[@braedyisbester]

I'm gettiig big City & Colour vibes from the outro song. Love it 👍

[@trevorpeterson9581]

Great story telling. I was expecting glimpse of a cool STOWC collection. Ended up being able to glimpse a little bit of a beautiful soul and artist. Life affirming. Thank you for sharing!

[@kmc2317]

It just shows that collections don't need to be worth an exorbitant amount of money. This man's watch collection is meaningful to him and his passion for his watches is there for everyone to see (& feel). Excellent video, T&H! Cheers!

[@jamesvass498]

What an awesome video. Love to see the connection of watches to people and their personal stories. Very very cool!!

[@Bzy6000]

Dude, filming and production quality is super high! Keep them coming!

[@amirazhar2723]

Beautiful cinematography! Beautiful watches!

[@markhor1988]

Came here for watches but stayed for the cinematography. Lawd it clean. #Inspiration

[@brunonjezic6208]

Exelent format! I really enjoyed this. I hope this serial continues

[@ref6122]

So refreshing to not see a Hodinkee/Watchbox ish millianaire entrepreneurs collection review of Nautilus 's ,Royal Oaks and GMT Masters.

[@jeffdj1975]

One of my favourite videos! Thanks guys. That omega n JLC are beautiful pieces

[@janihellberg6911]

This was awesome! One of the best collection videos I have seen. It's not just about the watches but the stories behind them.

[@williamparker2140]

Such a fantastic video. This is the content I’ve been looking for and couldn’t find anywhere. Thank you!!

[@krisaguilar7106]

Wow one of the best collection videos I have seen! When the passion for something take on a real meaning!

[@MrNinjamanguydude]

I’ve watched this about 10 times and feel the same emotional feeling every time

[@francescoperrone7411]

A beautiful and emotional interview. Brad seems an amazing and sweet person and his watch collection is one of the most beautiful that I ever seen. Very inspiring

[@machinegunkawi1388]

I’ve watched this probably 10 times now this is an amazing episode 💪🏻

[@Drofcomedy]

I think Theo and Harris just nailed it. :)

[@andrewarcilla4048]

It’s refreshing to see a guy that is in to collecting watches for all the right reasons. Best wishes and keep doing your thing man. 🙏🏻

[@MrSaadmubarak]

What a great video, I really enjoyed it. This is a great example of why I love this hobby.

[@austincino]

One of my favorite videos you guys have done! This channel easily stands out among all watch youtubers looking forward to what comes next.

[@Rosay__]

A welcomed change of pace here with this one...nice stories and nice watches. Well done!

[@elmerweng4]

I honestly would enjoy seeing collections from ordinary people with unique stories about their collections!

[@alketterer]

Excellent. Well filmed, interesting guest and collection. Down to earth. This is the way to go guys.

[@willclarkfinancial]

This guy is über cool! Great video!!

[@h.google]

Probably the most captivating collection video I've seen. Well done T&H, thank you. 😷

NAILED IT! Absolutely mesmerizing

[@pamisavejr]

Love the vibe of the video! Also current T&H video content and production! Keep it up

[@Henders72]

Superb, totally different to what I was expecting and immersed me in the story of ownership.

[@christianoliver4243]

Thanks Brad. A great, broad collection, explained in a thoughtful and engaging way. Keep enjoying your watches - its great to see how interested and sincere you are about them. Take care and keep safe

[@nestor0019]

This was amazing, the first episode was a bit forced, this was sooooooo good.

[@sunilsom5700]

Hi from India. Absolutely loved this video. Has to be one of my favourite videos on KZbin. Could you share more details on the Vintage JLC, what year, Calibre/movement? Loved Brad Wilson's voice. Amazing Work.👏👏👏

[@homefink2235]

Great vid. Great connection between watches, emotions to them and an extraordinary artist. More of that, please.

[@Joe-xo3xy]

Love your thoughts Brad, it's not just about the watches that makes a collector interesting but rather his reason for the love of what he has acquired. Love your collection by the way, stay well and may your music profession prosper with time.

[@m.e.p.r]

Love this style of video and beautifully shot, what a triumph :)

[@khurramsoomro1079]

Not even done watching yet and felt compelled to comment, absolutely incredible storytelling. Bravo T&H! Love the incredible thoughtfulness Brad brings to his collecting and life.

[@jwags24]

I like hearing other people’s motivations for their collections. Great video.

[@jonathanland2218]

Love collector stories. More please.

[@majorpuggington]

Terrific video, content and production. Love that patina and yes the DJ jubilee is damn comfortable!

[@mazrashid6549]

Great video! I get the Datejust has sentimental value to him and is unquestionably a beautiful thing however I could see this guy rocking a 36mm Explorer. I really think it would suit him

[@BradWilsonMusic]

you nailed it! that's my dream watch!

[@mazrashid6549]

@@BradWilsonMusic I hope you get one someday. You mention in the video about how you got the Datejust from your father and how you hope to one day pass it down. Now imagine how cool it would be if you got the Explorer for yourself and one day your child inherited a classic Rolex from both their father and grandfather! The two watches would also really compliment each other imo

[@BradWilsonMusic]

@@mazrashid6549 amazing idea!

[@SteveFWatches]

in love with this series! Awesome collection especially with the LL Bean Hamilton

[@morganthedruid1]

There's a talent here that seems almost wasted on us. Brad's blue Datejust is exquisite and I love this song and how engaging he is talking us through his collection but the editing and the quality of the filmwork is beautiful.

[@oliverchung5815]

+1 for Every picture tells a story. Great datejust and great album!

[@nolanketty2859]

This video is so nice. Better than the straps for sale ones. More!

[@ijustwanttogofast2762]

Fantastic video. Beautifully directed and edited. And this is the kind of collection I love. Lots of thought and memories associated with each piece. Keep it up. More like this please

Great video. Great guest. Bravo!

[@tonyrome655]

Really nice collection of vintage pieces. With that being said, when just a voice and guitar can evoke your emotions the way this song does, you just know the artist has an amazing talent. Looking forward to hearing more from Brad.

[@benficaM8888]

This is a masterpiece. I enjoy this more than most Hodinkee's videos (they just show some rando ass rare watches because someone paid $$$ in an auction, meh). Well done to everyone who's made this video possible. I'd like to see more. You can really do well as a media company.

[@running-nurse]

An absolute gem !!! Engaging, interesting, enlightening, all and all a pure class video and I must the production was amazing !! This is the right way of doing storytelling !!! Good jog T&H
