I don't know what you guys think, but my impression is that Hodinkee's content quality has declined significantly over the past year as they've lost some very knowledgeable members of the team.

[@valebliz]

Nooo, really? Lmao. H has been a joke run by shills for years.

[@LikeigiveAFaboutU]

Which ones? I haven't heard. Or watched recently..

[@Vanoual]

Brandon is awesome!

[@FightingMango]

Absolutely

[@Milofchg]

They lost one to WatchBox

[@SteveFWatches]

“Gets in his vintage Porsche” 16:20 😭😭🤣🤣

[@roachasaurus2020]

Hodinkee needs Mike editing. I'm constantly wondering what Christian says that forces random jump cuts 😂😂😂

[@vianouche1]

Old Kevin Hart would make really funny jokes about new Kevin Hart attitude

[@LaurentiusTriarius]

Even Joe Rogan could make a funny joke about it

[@jdotrillah]

This part! The new Kevin Hart is beyond Hollywood

[@JackoWillMakeLives-loveu]

My question is who really gives a shit about celebrities anymore? People really still buy luxury goods based off what a stranger wears? 😂

[@theejpp]

With Hodinkee working with AP and Kevin Hart being an AP brand ambassador, I wonder if this was a planned marketing event and not just a casual "do you want to come talk about your watches" thing

[@notenoughtime7274]

Great video. Love the quote “Reverse engineer what success looks like for you”

[@triniboy05]

I think the interview showed Kevin Hart isn’t really a watch enthusiast, just follows trends and cares about what has the best value.

[@jpg6482]

Even John Wayne falls into that mysterious rich character that can get down and gnarly - nice observation

[@colomboluke]

I felt the ending when Ben got up and left was super weird and awkward too!!! Glad it wasn’t just me

[@markjonz]

Ben seemed strangely uninterested throughout

[@LaurentiusTriarius]

I can't relate to Hoodinkee or Fratello I don't love the fact they define the hobby and what collectors should look like to the eyes of classic big medias and a ton of new hobbyists. I've been in the lapidary and jewel trade since I'm born from when pocket watches were the only thing snubs considered worthy of collecting and I'm glad this stuffy period of watch collecting has ended, seems like Hoodinks want to bring that back en force with the wristwatches. Don't count me in.

[@jps3b]

Really love the content. Not sure if you realize that every time you bang on the table it produces a really detracting noise. Don’t care if you do it once in a while to drive home a point, but Christian is banging on it as if it’s a drum. Thanks guys. Sorry for pointing this out

[@Usiris23]

With some quality headphones it’s a lot worse, hella annoying

[@edwardsmith992]

Really enjoying the videos! Recovering from an operation this week and your stuff makes the day more comfortable… thanks😊

[@bettbulldog05]

Would love for you guys to discuss the Ed Sheeran video with Hodinkee. Keep up the awesome work. Love listening to you both.

[@Csibu89]

If you are sponsored by one watchmaker though, AP is quite a good one to only wear. They kinda have the biggest sports watch of all, obivously I mean the Royal Oak, so you have your sporty everyday watch. There's even quartz versions for when you ride a motorbike or anything... And they have all the vintage grand complications and classy dresswatches one might ever need.

[@JoeSmith-np6nz]

Just rewatched the Kevin hart taking watches and I enjoyed it. Didn’t notice anything awkward. Also the story about the secret watch, he wasn’t realizing his fame, he was just talking about the watch being secret. Idk you guys are reaching haha

[@ande5460]

Did you guys watch the Allen Wright episode a few weeks ago? One of the best and most relatable Hodinkee interviews.

[@luisdelaroca6314]

I love how you guys talk the true about how great hodinkee is for the watch community , not like others watchtoubers talking trash just for the views

[@vik574]

Explain to me how is Hodinkee good for watch community. If you ask me, they are completely relevant.

[@loganframe5955]

“Conservatives don’t share their wives…” please see Jerry Falwell documentary

[@TheoandHarris]

Bahahahha should’ve clarified. It’s considered deviance in conservative culture and, to my knowledge, less common and generally hidden. A point of shame, not virtue.

[@bipinsamsohang]

Christian being a Real Madrid fan is a surprise for me lol

[@Marco-vy9hc]

“The AP guy” you can not remember his name and Kevin was referring to is by the way the CEO of AP😂

[@ArnavSenguptaPlus]

Hodinkee is just becoming worse day by day and somehow Ben is just sitting there watching it. Ever since Steven, Cara, Jon, Jack, have left they have only gone downwards. The only person left who brings a modicum of respectability now there is James Stacey, and I can't wait for him to leave Hodinkee if this is how Hodinkee plans to continue.

[@simondaughtry4619]

I thought Ben up and left already...

[@savvast8275]

In my opinion, for ‘marketing’ to be able to allure people towards a certain product, it has to have a compelling storytelling narrative. THIS is how you cultivate authentic desire for a person to be associated with a particular thing. Remove all sterility. Make it a natural inclination for people to get behind the story you’re proposing…. with ‘the product’ being an article that just seems to obviously makes sense to have as an accompanying piece of that associated lifestyle

[@konstantin-eliasschoffler-4245]

Hey guys, I was wondering if someone could tell me whether the NOMOS tetras are good quality as in how the cristal is fixed on the case. Is it glued? I can't figure out through the pictures how the glas isn't falling out. Hope the question isn't too silly... Thanks!

[@theopulentlife889]

17:38 awkward moment where it seems like Christian is gonna smack Michael 😂

[@Usiris23]

I’m wearing my headphones and when y’all bump the table it sends low frequency bass though my ears

[@Pabloandresariza]

I’ve been binging your channel, fun content!

[@angustillett2649]

I think George Clooney actually does really like omega, some interviews make it seem that way

[@aleksandercampos5388]

it would be cool to see a small window of the hodinkee video playing over some parts as you react/refrence

[@TheAmbitiousPeasant]

One of the funniest episodes thus far!

[@fairfield2980]

If you are a football (soccer) fan, why did you have a Celtic shirt hanging from your old set?.

[@Stealther]

*cough*Iron Snail video*cough*

[@vik574]

Tried watching videos from this channel couple of times now, I can never get past couple of minutes. Every time the same thought he's my head, They have absolutely no idea what they're talking about.

[@mrcom4359]

I'm glad he said that he wears and likes other watches and I think that path is better for him and for AP. The optics of having a brand ambassador who is passionate about watches even outside of your brand are way better than the optics of having a brand ambassador who is disingenuously pretending that your watch is the only watch and acting like they are constantly under duress. I'm sure that there is more nuance to it than that, but in my totally uneducated and irrelevant opinion, the honesty about the watches he wears and likes was one of the better parts of the interview and reflects really well on AP.

[@markinkpt3664]

Hey Christian, do you know what a lint roller is? Oh wait, you might be waiting for the Hodinkee X Rolex collaboration called the Lint Rollie.... for $4000 ;) . You guys are just freakin' awesome. Love your on target content. You two are the perfect team.

[@jacobkohler]

Recent Hodinkee content has led me to believe they’ve likely had to consider crisis management (ie cuckold your watch article and the wife in labor / husband drives back home for watch article). Hard to believe those were published.

[@YYLegend]

16:52 he got a call from François CEO of AP..

[@MDchaz]

In the close up Hodinkee photos of Kevin Hart’s AP the date window is eschewed when the time shows 8:00. Crazy that AP would let one of their ambassadors walk around with a broken watch.

[@pamisavejr]

I think it will be amazing once Kevin Hart partnership ends to really see the full force on his collection and enthusiasm over watches Also to Christian point on Marketing I think it has to be organic and genuine to really hit you, for you to love a brand even more. Love your ideas

[@SequoiaNagamatsu]

As opposed to Hart, I think my favorite recent-ish Hodinkee interview was with Jimmy O Yang . . . an actual collection that spanned the evolution of his career from his humble beginnings and first big breaks. I couldn't connect with how Hart talked about watches at all.

[@robertm.9633]

Even George Clooney’s wax statue at Madame Tussaud’s has an Omega on.

[@nabilelberr2213]

What’s the price of a mic arm in the us? Because I think that would be a great investment, reduce the pounding on the table and improving the sound quality with a very easy fix.

[@cadavis130]

That’s Francois head of AP

[@frankandreasbauer]

Three videos in a row 😍

[@OJC72]

So Kevin Hart was in a Chase Bank campaign and so his poster is on ATMs and I knew he was a watch guy because there he was always unapologetically wearing his AP

[@simondaughtry4619]

KEvin had his personal shopper buys his watches....

[@vrbanitas2021]

im a big fan of this watch channel, have you ever considered a live-streaming?

[@G3ekbox]

Kevin should’ve studied Tom Brady’s interview with Hodinkee. You wasn’t going to hear TB12 say any other watch than IWC.

[@samuelkim1546]

I turn on Theo and Harris videos while showering; I can barely hear it, but I still do it for white noise… and then I’ll rewind and rewatch them

[@jdotrillah]

Had to pause: Kevin Hart did blow it and so did Hondinkee, I’ve been asking for Kevin to get in-front of the camera and talk about watches for almost a decade now. He acted just how I expected, sort of dismissive, gate-keeping, stand-offish. Honestly, I don’t ever want to hear about Kevin’s watch collection again, because that interview was underwhelming. He has a banging ass collection, but he seems far removed from the “watch world” “watch guy” crowd.

[@TrySomeSushi]

This is a real watch nerds take: Clooney and Beckham etc are in fact much more relatable to the majority of watch consumers as authentic cool guys who just like a nice watch to complement their style. Kevin Hart is a great comedian but is not known for style. Celeb watch nerd-ery certainly has helped grow the broader market, but most people only have a certain appetite for it.

[@Ilikeavocados822]

is that a cable knit sweater Christian? Mike is that a waffle knit sweater? What color is that? Its almost like a soft beige or I guess a hard beige. Anyway, Kevin Hart has a bunch of APs that none of us will ever encounter.

[@syncswim]

lmao at his AP comment. Even at a reputable journalistic institution(which Hodinkee is not) it's totally within bounds and in fact advisable to run someone's completely outrageous statement back to them and ask if they really want that printed. Maybe they did and Kevin just said idgaf

[@bartnewland]

It was Francois himself who called Kevin Hart with the "you fucked me" line. Watch starting at 12:15.

[@timelesssneakersandwatches]

Great episode and take gents.... But also... Visca el Barça 😂👊

[@benficaM8888]

IDK. i thought the hodinkee interview with kevin hart is all fun and pleasing to watch.

[@bretthacker414]

Hey guys, love your content but noticed the audio quality lacking, having a echo in the background. I am guessing there are a lot of hard surfaces where you shoot reflecting the sound. A suggestion, you can get acoustic foam panels pretty cheap that would reduce or eliminate the problem. Keep up the good work. Brett

[@_Hi_Moon]

Word. Also some basic EQing and sibilance control would do wonders. Just cutting out the sub frequencies would help to reduce the table rumbling.

[@knight0924]

Love the content guys! I do find it weird your mentioning that hodinkee used royalty free music that you also happened to use before. Considering you used the fratello theme not even a month ago, among other themes used in popular watch content. Just a strange thing to mention if you are also doing the same thing lol. Anyways thanks for the great and entertaining content as always

[@milesjenkins3687]

Kevin Hart would never wear a green sweater with lint all over it 😠 Killing me smalls!

[@watchchimp3102]

I'm pretty sure that the people at AP know KH has other watches, and they're probably not too concerned about him talking about them in a Hodinkee video. Because they know the people that are dropping 6 figures on APs are likely NOT watching Hodinkee. The ones that are watching Hodinkee, they know, will be aware of AP as well as other brands anywayz. 😊

[@ryana9783]

I turned the video off when they revealed he was an AP ambassador/he started talking about watches as investments.

[@williamguy8563]

nice vid gents!

[@juliusfrandy4530]

Where is anna?

[@lonewolfemcquade8133]

Still with the Where's Anna comments 🤦

[@roachasaurus2020]

Ayyyyyy, reaction vid??

[@dBsdecibels]

Hodinkee left it in because they're in the business of general watches, not AP. The misstep is drama and intrigue that'll draw more viewers, and hopefully buyers.

[@MaartenAnna]

By the way, I only know Hodinkee because of you guys 👏👏👏 I saw the whole video and I had exactly the same experience; why would he say that he likes other watches too? I think that the “pre-release” Kevin did, unknowingly, actually did a lot for the marketing of that particular piece. That ending was soooooo odd: alright, we got it? We’re good? Ok, couple of wrist shots and we’re done. I don’t even think he said thanks or shook his hand… Anyway, you guys crack me up when you go off on a tangent. Keep up the good work.

[@atis23]

You knew Hodinkee because of this channel? Wow….

[@vidjoe8320]

Ben from Hodinkee obviously doesn't have much regard for Kevin Hart as a comedian and he isn't impressed by fame or riches. He probably doesn't have anything to do with black people so the whole interview maybe felt foreign to him. The part at the end where he had to dig his pants out of his crotch was the most telling.

[@Arc1517]

American culture is so dumb. Jay Z gets so much credibility lent to him for making a total of 10 songs worth listening to

[@okidoki2952]

So your GMT isn’t Steel?

[@PacmanB17H25]

Who controls the world Christian? 😂👀

[@TRUYORK718]

You guys seen Ana on Bang Bros???

[@arturoCM007]

So what the hell was Kevin Hart's frase???

[@BWen3]

Conservatives aren’t sharing their wives? Lmao. Fetishes do not break on party lines and or perceived ideologies. Also it sounds like whoever said that was saying you shouldn’t let your friends wear your watches. Without context hard to know. But weird take here by Curator Chris.

[@TheoandHarris]

Bahahahha should've clarified. It's considered deviance in conservative culture and, to my knowledge, less common and generally hidden. A point of shame, not virtue.

[@BWen3]

@@TheoandHarris here I am thinking you guys are just watch experts….🥴 haha. Chris out here with cu#k insight as well. ⭐️

[@TheRk1111]

They're too busy sucking off little boys at the CYO.

[@MattyVice]

So what was the cringe part of the hodinkee interview? I got bored and stopped watching

[@VOLUMEnightclub]

Ironic he got divorced for cheating and also put jokes about it in his specials

[@jonatan236]

entertaining video but everyone knows paul-> jay z

[@positivibration]

Love the channel but I think you are exploring hodinkee too much. Last 1, 2 months you are always referring them to make videos.

[@vintko]

Kevin O'leary can't even pronounce Audemars Piguet correctly. SMH.

[@qlfnj1845]

kanye

[@seattlegrrlie]

To say this as tactful as possible. I don't like Kevin Hart. I haven't watched this video and I don't plan to. I like the watch interviews with people who have real watches, ones we can all get, not guys with their 1.5M concept watch

[@lordnass381]

okay brokie

[@kahuhipajae4088]

Real world problems….

[@gabrielw7929]

AP signed off on it, no doubt. b. I don’t think many people took it that way. He was just further proving that he’s a watch guy by admitting that it’s painful to only wear his prized collection around the house, and the contractual obligation is no secret. 3. That abrupt ending was either because or to suggest that Kevin fit them in, and they needed to wrap and weren’t comfortable over staying their welcome.

[@Wooooosaaaaaa]

Celebrity lol what a joke

[@angustillett2649]

I think George Clooney actually does really like omega, some interviews make it seem that way
