Talking Watches With Eric Singer

When you walk into Eric Singer's Hollywood home, you know right away that he's a watch guy. Immediately you see LeCoultre travel clocks and Heuer race timers on his shelves, Lange and Vacheron catalogs scattered across his tables. You also see gold and platinum records on the wall. This is Talking Watches with KISS drummer Eric Singer.

That pocket watch and the story behind it is a whole Oscar winning movie.

[@benjameshodges]

Eric has the right approach to wristwatches. He's not paying big bucks to buy into someone else's legacy. He buys a watch to commemorate an achievement in his life. He doesn't go for rarity, vintage or precious. Just what he thinks is cool. He will make his own legacy and make it vintage through his life for his children.

[@locutusdborg126]

This is the kind of collector I respect. He understands watches, and is not out to buy status. Well made video. Great series.

[@besswarren6237]

[@bobcortez4427]

Glad to see Ball represented. With American heritage and Swiss watchmaking prowess, Ball is possibly the most underrated watch company out there, especially now that they have released their own in-house movement with an 80 hour power reserve. Great episode!

[@sauldavis4730]

Classic Pearl drum key on far right hand side at :23 that I gave him (and happy he kept) backstage in Toronto. I had owned the key since 1986 and was happy to pass it on to him as a token of respect and gratitude.

[@dusankollar7005]

Translation of the text from 3:24: To general-lieutenant J.Vales bestowed by minister of national defence, general of the army Martin Dzur. This particular watch has really some story to tell.

[@thwackTX]

Kiss isn't my thing, but he definitely seems like s solid guy. Great video.

[@stemikger]

Eric's passion is contagious, he captures the spirit of a true collector and he is wicked smart and articulate.

[@PDWdrums]

He is a professional. I always looked up to Eric Singer. A real positive influence. The original "Hard Driver" ridin' alone.

[@1017dantheman]

Wow he seems like a really interesting guy... Definitely not what I expected from the drummer of KISS.

[@mariocomparan5473]

stereotypes are a bitch

[@jeffdj1975]

A true collector. Zero hype, just pure love and appreciation for the craft.

[@thewatchenthusiast5729]

That was a great video. I love the way Eric is approaching his collection. Keep up the good work

[@JudoDogMD]

Since starting this series, I've bought John Mayer songs, subscribed to Man of the World, bought Goldberger's watch books and gone to Clippers games. I already was a KISS fan.

[@poeglives]

Excellent collector. Traditional, historical and whimsical at the same time. Kudos Eric!

[@raven_of_zoso455]

Nice to see someone whom I actually met (several times) on TW. I live far up in Northern Norway so it's not a common thing to meet Hollywood rock stars for us, but I was a huge KISS fan as a late teen and would travel to shows and conventions. Eric is a really cool and humble guy. Got a few signatures from him as well...

[@ItsTimePictures]

Terrific video. Should have been longer. I'd love to hear about his collection and thoughts on watch collecting.

[@usaslakt]

very nice collection, especially the Heuer watches. And the Daytona of course...

[@ZedEnd83]

fantastic collection!

[@peterjg]

Always been a great KISS fan and I love learning about watches and people who appreciate great timepieces. Thanks for this great video that combines both. Eric seems like a very down-to-earth, cool guy. Thanks gfor sharing your passion.

[@eugeniozanda7230]

This guy knows how to choose his "toys", so much beautiful stuff...And a very cool watch collection...

[@theplayer2286]

Top bloke with good taste to boot! A smattering a ultra-expensive bling BUT what lovely Heuers and that Longines is sweet. I love watching these films..... keep makin' em.

[@AJTJEWELLERY]

Brilliant interview!

[@mikem2277]

Pretty sure this video series/ channel is the most well done, modern and current videos about watches can get. Love it!

[@jamesmurff193]

This was great. We need more like this.

[@jongoodman7563]

KISS is my thing, and so is Ball. Finally, someone gave that American born badass tool watch some love. Only thing better than one Ball is TWO! Also, how cool is drummer as timekeeper? Ergo, watch lover.

[@freddyrequena4021]

Love this.

[@skip9766]

Nice collection and seems pretty down to earth . Thanks

[@harvardford8752]

WAS NOT EXPECTING THIS this is sooooooooo cooooooooooooool

[@eden821]

I love what you are doing with your videos. It is all about quality. For a watch guy it does not get better than this.

[@quorthy]

Great video. I really love the Talking Watches series

[@watchcollector873]

[@MrBrianc1975]

You need to make more of these videos!

[@dustyowl99]

incredible story on the patek pocket

[@sureshobhan]

Wonderful collection...!!!

[@maxineharris4746]

Great story about the pocket watch!

[@CluelessWatchCollector]

Fantastic.

[@Spectrumpicture]

Even Ben pronounces Jeager "Yeager." Whhhhaaaat.

[@ericdavid8214]

thought that might've been echoing how Eric originally said it out of respect rather than indirectly correcting him? Pretty sure I heard him calling it "Jey-jeyr" in another vid

[@mannycalavera2335]

I speak German, Dutch and English and it is kind of odd to see how focused people are on pronunciation of brands in watches. While they happily butcher the names of every other brand in the world. They go out of their way to squeeze out a very forced "Lange und söhne", then turn around and call their cars a "Mersaydees" and "Volkswagon". Just let it go. It does not matter. It is just a poor attempt at sounding well-traveled and refined. If you have no familiarity with the language just don't.

[@rikkidee]

Just subscribed. Great interview with KISS's Eric Singer.

[@frankwhite648]

I love these videos!!! Please make more.

[@MrNobbless]

Narrator: "They made more."

[@cfunk10]

Love these videos. Keep em coming.

[@Canteaus]

*Yngwie Malmsteen is Rolex collector...You should interview him*

[@egycsab]

The ceramic PAM

[@ericl3085]

A guy named Eric who loves Queen and watches hes my twin!

[@DanielLopez-pu4hx]

The plaque shown around 4:11 has the word Records misspelled.

[@Lalitaditya100]

Someone get this man a G-shock

[@thumperjdm]

@4:10...the trophy shop misspelled "records." ;-)

[@JudoDogMD]

What particular Ball watch was he speaking of?

[@capturedbytee]

It appears to be the Engineer Hydrocarbon Airborne.

[@davidr9972]

its very douchy from hodinkee that they didnt even show the watch.

[@legmantillidie1030]

heure's are beautiful. Tags look good but Iwould spend my money elsewhere. Hamilton imo makes a nice watch. Good bang for the buck. Same with Victorinox.

[@MikeSmith-rx4of]

Nice interview. Asian watches still over good 'bang for the buck' for all of us, less than $10,000.00 per piece, collectors.

[@timedilated6349]

more talking watches!!! and faster

[@megagast007]

[@dddilippp]

Not even a raised eyebrow over the bronzo in the background?

[@TheDcgj45]

Kiss i can't believe their still playing. Their what 70 years old?

[@jessemastrangelo1339]

what watch is the host wearing? Tudor?

[@clocksnscotch]

I thought it was a tudor as well. Maybe a heritage...
