Crazy how influential John is in the watch community. Has influenced members of Hodinkee, celebrities, his fans.

[@hathaway.1166]

It was John who also gave me a different look on music!

[@ftng89]

it is crazy how we can just say "John" when talking within the community and everyone knows which John. I liked his music before I knew of his love for watches, which would be when the first ep of taking watches came out.

THIS, THIS, THIS RIGHT HERE is the podcast/meeting I have been waiting for. Arguably one of the most legendary watch collectors (who is incredibly discreet about it) meeting with the best curator of all thing watches. Thank you for doing this.

[@Charlipops69]

I can't even describe how much I wished this collab would happen especially since everyone knows Ed is a big collector. Great video!!

your channel is very very very brilliant wow! you truly love and know watches

[@thevalet2011]

This goes to show, even watch collectors even they are a celebrity are still the nicest people out there

[@pistonburner6448]

I disagree. Putin is a watch collector. George Soros is a watch collector. Saddam Hussein was a watch collector. Che Guevara and Fidel Castro were watch collectors, the typically hypocritical leftists often wore two Rolexes at the same time. Kim Jong-il and Kim-Jong Un were/are watch collectors. And so on.

[@pistonburner6448]

The lawyer Hillary Clinton hired to lie to the FBI about the Steele dossier (which is a made up packet of lies Hillary Clinton hired a foreign agent to write) to get the FBI to aid their plan to slander her rival presidential candidate with lies in addition to the media companies they had paid to systematically spread those lies totally and clearly against any journalists' principles and rules without any verification, who was convicted recently, was also a watch collector.

[@hathaway.1166]

@@pistonburner6448 you gotta chill my man, yes there are bad watch collectors, but there are good watch collectors as well, and theres a lot more good than the bad.

[@pistonburner6448]

@@hathaway.1166 Actually I just have to respond to your nonsensical comment itself: You are wrong, as I never said there aren't good watch collectors too. The claim I responded to was simply that all watch collectors are the nicest people. I stated in response that it isn't correct to state that "all watch collectors are the nicest people", because many watch collectors are not the nicest people. I am right, and I proved that. And as to your assertion that there are a lot more good watch collectors than bad, I can theoretically disprove that too: not only crime statistics, but psychology studies of how dishonest, self-serving, thieving, corrupt people are indicates that the overwhelming majority of people are not "good". Even when measuring at the age groups where people are most "good". I'm not taking at all into account the age ranges where people tend to be so incapacitated as to not be _able_ to act "not good". Then taking to account what positions, professions, what kinds of status watch collectors have it only strengthens the numbers of them NOT being "good". Then taking into account the personality types, the drive that gets people to buy watches that even further lessens the ratio of "good" people in that group. As a very raw estimate based on very imprecise numbers, I'd say that watch collectors are at least 85% not "good" for the moral, less strict meaning of "good" as people who do bad to other people, steal, exploit, are engaged in corruption and/or benefit from corruption and so forth for their own gain at the expense of others; and at least 65% not "good" in the stricter western legal sense of the word.

[@JesusGonzalezPR]

I loved the “My first watch was a Hublot, Don’t judge me” hahaha EPIC 😂

[@crazeephill]

Ed is great. So humble! Would love to see the talking watches even if it was only a small handful of special watches. The fact he doesn’t just want to put all his watches on a table shows how humble he is.

[@andersjensen1499]

Finally Ed talks about watches. I have like many others seen these nice watches on Ed’s arm and was wondering - What is his watch story and how much of a watch nerd is he ? Great to see how deep into watches he really is and I love that fact that he is not afraid to use them probably and give them their own story. Keep it up….

[@MrJoelee73]

I met Ed recently…didn’t ask for a selfie with him, I asked for a wrist shot of our watches. Being a very nice chap he said yes. He was wearing the Tiffany Patek…

Now this is what Hodinkee should be doing monthly. Great interview, great format. Always good to see Ben.

[@stevenplayford8223]

What a genuinely decent human being, everytime Ben went into something remotely near drama it was just swerved. I love seeing people who are clearly interested in items for more than it being a flex. This is proper old school Hodinkee content. Ben is a great interviewer too.

[@Podcastage]

Really loved this conversation and I look forward to future episodes and the talking watches with Ed.

[@BeckVMH]

Kudos to Ed’s nod to Ben and Hodinkee. Speaks well of his appreciation and genuine interest of watches, but also his humility.

[@MinuteMon]

What a way to launch a first episode in this Collectors interview series. 48 mins flew by with Ed!

[@MichaelRCocks]

I love watching Hodinkee but put off watching this video for almost a week, due to the 48 minute length of the video. Having now watched it, I believe it is the best episode they’ve ever made. Great to hear 2 watch enthusiasts simply discussing their passion. Ed Sheeran really loves talking watches. And Ben excelled in his art of interview. Can’t wait for the episode of ‘Talking Watches’ in the future.

[@rezaalli]

Thank you Hodinkee for understanding the kind of content we want. Plain and straight interview, long enough for an actual conversation, it’s perfect.

[@davidparrishproductions5082]

Two of the coolest, most laid back- unpretentious people out there who happen to be incredible talents in their crafts.

[@Khanh.Nguyen369]

Great episode. A statement that really resonated and harks to what Ed said, "Email is the perfect system for you to be on someone else's agenda for your life." Also, for my friends who are new to the watch game, I simply tell them to walk into a store and see what they like. Because they are unjaded or unswayed by the industry, it's nice to see what their honest pick is.

[@TedNemeth]

What a cool chap. I’ve never heard his songs. But I know he’s a popular pop guy. You can tell these guys are friends. Super fun casual chat. He reached superstardom at such a young age yet seems super grounded. No phone for the last 7 years. Love it.

[@Claus-L.Mueller]

Oh wow! That was a very entertaining time to watch this video! Ed Sheeran seems to be a really nice guy. And even with it‘s multi million dollar collection he‘s a real watch enthusiast and not a snob at all! Please make the Collector’s Edition a regular format on the Hodinkee channel! 👍👏👌

[@Cam_LDN]

YES! THIS IS GOING TO BE A GREAT SERIES.

[@andrewronnisch4943]

Great conversation, I love how Ed is so modest, It's like he's almost embarrassed about how much of a collection he has. It took some doing to draw it out. I appreciate that, great conversation, enjoyed it.

[@patricknaswell2686]

Tremendous. Ed Sheehan and Ben Clymer. Who knew? It’s great to see and hear this kind of passion and knowledge. Feels great.

So happy to see Ed on this, i always knew he had nice watches but didn’t know he was so knowledgeable about them holistically. Can’t wait for talking watches with him! Thx for putting this together!

[@dyessman2763]

SO refreshing to see a guy, with money, that has the same passion that we all have for watches. He knows what he likes and displays the passion - def not a guy that is buying these pieces "because he can", but because he has a love for them

Roger Smith is the man of watches. To have one of his watches is and should be everyone’s holy grail

Amen. On both counts.

[@johnnyaguilar1758]

Can you imagine the watches Ed must have, just to hear how he casually slides in "the piece unique stuff" when he is talking about showing ben his collection. I truly appreciate his views on collecting, and his comments about RM. You can tell he is in to watches just for the love of them, and not for what they represent as status symbols.

[@TheNotoriousKID]

This was an absolute joy to watch. Gonna watch it again later with my wife.

[@brandonwebb1254]

This was a fantastic discussion on all things horology. Ben, please give the watch community more of this. Ed Sheeran was a fantastic first guest…and I honestly don’t know much about him as a musician. Let’s bring back John Mayer.

[@BulletBeena]

That was a really good episode. Ed really seems to love his watches and seems like a really nice guy. Ben saying about the Moonwatch hits a nerve with me. I’ve always wanted one and nearly bought bought one back in 2009 when they were selling for £1600 new. I had some cash from being made redundant during the recession and was so tempted but I had to be sensible and make sure I could pay the bills. I got a job just as my redundancy pay ran out so it was ultimately the right decision but I could have then got one on interest free credit and I didn’t because it felt a bit extravagant. I thought I’d wait until for 40th and treat myself…..they had doubled in price by then and were out of my price range. I think I’ll always regret not getting one when they were £1600.

[@matthewstephenson3537]

I love how despite the fact that he is Ed Sheeran, he has enough understanding about the community to make that tongue-in-cheek joke @ 2:20
