The TRUTH about Christian Zeron's Watch Collection

An unseen perspective into Christian Zeron’s watch collecting philosophy, untold stories, and his definition of success. Zeron’s narrative brings him to the truth behind his passion for collecting iconic timepieces from globally renowned brands like Rolex, Cartier, and Piaget, and unveils the compelling reasons why these watches, far more than mere symbols of luxury, are treasured embodiments of sentiment and legacy.

What an incredible video! What an incredible guy!

[@WatchCheck]

Got a long list of pretty incredible guys i'd like for future episodes… thinking of revealing an incredible Irishman’s secret Hublot fetish once and for all... ;-) -Paul

[@stevegarthwaite9429]

I think a lot of times we over romanticize the work our parents and grandparents did. In no disrespect to your dad, I myself did some difficult work earlier on and my dad worked very physical labor for over 30 years. But at the time, during what now you’d look back as suffering, it never felt so. It was just doing the thing. I’m just working and finding small pleasures in it. Maybe that’s our coping mechanism. Or just maybe prior to social media we weren’t as exposed to the wealth or perceived excess of others. Sometimes I look back at those times with nostalgia of the simplicity. I hope you see what I mean.

[@CrappyProducts]

The podcasts are nice, but these videos are really the pinnacle of what you do

[@TheoandHarris]

Thank you my guy

[@pilotstyle123]

The selfindulgent slightly wankerish side of TH never resonates with me but I respect the what he brings to the table and I appreciate bringing in his family regularly.

[@smitty923]

Well done. New appreciation for this kid. Spot on production quality. Subbed. Keep em coming

[@PaulThorpeOfficial]

Amazing. World class.

[@DavidEAngell]

Love this story and WOW what a story teller! I can relate to this big time! All of these videos are world class! Well done! 👏

[@alexeireddenov]

WOW... Just wow. This is hands down the best watch film I have ever seen. Ive been watching T&H for a number of years now and this is seriously next level. I also saw the other video on this channel and im floored. the emotional impact out of two short films is just unbelievable, who ever is responsible for making these is beyond talanted. well done, hope to see many more!

[@MrAumbra]

Great video. Really showcases your talents but also your personal growth. Thank you for trusting us with something so personal.

[@rodrigomontoya8]

This was a true masterpiece. Not only really entertaining and beautiful cinematically but really freaking POWERFUL.

[@rafikpatel7012]

Thank you for sharing your father’s story, stories like these need to be told and archived which you’re doing an incredible job. It reaches and touches people across the world and also helps to put things into perspective as a father like myself in a time which things are tough. Thanks again!

[@LongFinger021]

Cool BM, cool GMT, I remember the vids when you drank wine with your dad. Must have been 10 + yeara ago

[@BabyJesus66]

Cool bowel movement

[@socalsal]

This is so beautiful

[@Kueni99]

Wow, on all fronts. So much respect to this young man, been watching since day one - couldn't be happier for him and his family! The way you guys have depicted his story, is above and beyond, exceptional...and above all this message resonates, and will definitely inspire the next Christian Zeron!

[@WatchClyde]

Amazing collection of his age unique taste not following trends.

[@WatchCheck]

Thank you for the kind words, and am so glad you enjoyed it, lots more to come ;) cheers!

[@lofihifi792]

fuckin guy can tell a story

[@samuelperkins8956]

Great storytelling at work here, in front of and behind the camera. Also hell of an edit. Keep up the good work!

[@SwissWatchGang]

Good video, I enjoyed the stories, broll as well as the overall package you guys created. Well done and as someone who wasn't born in Switzerland, and started something by myself, always keeping my parents in mind, I can relate to this video a lot.

[@joshbrown3002]

This is cool, man. 💪

[@lasvegashelipilot]

Fantastic cinematography, story telling, and I loved the red E30 (I own one myself). The watches are kinda cool, too ;) Thanks for sharing your story.

[@renatotavares7079]

What a fantastic video. What a pleasant experience for watch lovers. Congrats to the filmmaker and to Christian. If you love watches, and they are part of your journey, there are so many parallels between collecting and life itself. The joy, the struggles, family, heritage, the pursuits. Watch Check team and Christian clearly gets it. Congrats.

[@akidfromca]

Big fan of this guy!!

[@kmannc]

I remember watching your videos you did in your car. You’ve been inspiring and this story feels very familiar with my own father raising 5 kids. This is an amazing lens to view life with, thank you for sharing Christian!

[@sgt0331able]

Self-reflection is what helps us grow by appreciating what is real and what is not fake but just question “is it worth it?” Great vid! Indeed.

I've watched Christian everyday since 2016 Means alot to me to see him here now Appreciate this man guys. Unapologetically himself

[@TheoandHarris]

Thank you so much my friend..

[@WatchClyde]

I've also been watching him from the beginning...I admire the growth. Motivated me to focus on my watch channel.

[@maximusmiles2615]

So good

[@andrewgiblin3468]

Cool car, cool dog, cool story!!

[@Scott-ib3tm]

Was great until shot unlocking the open top convertible. Also - do you need the radio code for that Blaupunkt? Nice family you have and good to see you value them.

[@user-gm6wb5xd7b]

You lock it because by doing so you lock the trunk.

[@richtherealtor1591]

Love everything about this video!!

[@raymondfurgason8959]

[@saucemac8384]

A video of the highest order, shot beautifully with great music. To listen to Christian open up about his watch journey was a joy!

[@notenoughtime7274]

My favourite video. Astonishingly well done, heartfelt, raw, brilliant cinematography production…and soundtrack. Loved it…enough to make my wife watch it too

[@ahamilton1305]

What's the watch at 1:30? thanks

[@BRV2728]

Amazing story. Definitely inspiring me to work harder, thank you

[@thomasdemiranda9291]

I relate to this story so much . Incredible.

[@JFrusci]

Love this!

[@sc1]

Despite the qualifying statements, I still sense a feeling of grievance, chip on your shoulder, envy, and an injury of being looked down upon, and a desire for wealth or status or recognition. Despite the statement that money is not all that important. But all those can be valid feelings. But you should come to terms that nothing is owed to you now, or that something was irresponsibley handed out to a previous generation or ethnicity.

[@TheoandHarris]

Hey man! Great comment and perspective. The wounds may be well mended, but that skin is always tender. I am certainly not completely “healed”, and I’m not sure I want to be. That chip on the shoulder, balanced with some healthy perspective, is a very productive character trait that I’m grateful for. Again, it’s a tough equation, but I’m doin my best!

[@TheoandHarris]

The only piece I’ll take exception with is the “owed”… that’s categorically a misread. I feel no entitlement, never did. Anger and embarrassment, yes. But never entitlement…

[@sc1]

@@TheoandHarris No harm meant. In fact, I often feel like an outcast, an outsider, because of my name and color of skin. Especially because I need to work with suburban/rural whites, and can hear their explicit or implicit judgement on the daily. I cannot take it personally, or it will ruin me. I just need to keep plugging along. Someone said “no one can make you feel bad about yourself, unless you allow them to.”

[@consumidorbrasileiro222]

cool but i think it could be better if the watches were displayed more

[@michaelw.-hamburg696]

Wow. Just wow. That is exactly how I feel about watches even though you didn‘t even talk about watches a lot. I would love to be a part of it. Let‘s talk

[@5gmatt]

This was honestly amazing. I really enjoyed this

[@JJ-gb6nx]

A cinematic masterpiece!!!❤

[@superfast30]

Amazing job, Christian. Much of what you said really resonates me. Extremely happy for you and your family!

Fantastic as always Christian!

[@WatchCheck]

You and me both pal. #mancrushmonday

[@mb-watches]

My German brain: do not lean on the door. WHY is he leaning 😂 Seriously, awesome video. Really enjoyed it, was great seeing a different glimpse from Christian 👍🏻

[@zegervanaschvanwijck7749]

Why is cleaning toilets beneath somebody. I like to think people appreciate a clean toilet. This appreciate the person who does this…

[@TheoandHarris]

My dad, grandfather, uncle, aunt cleaned toilets, everyone they knew cleaned toilets. They did their job w dignity. And not a single one of them would’ve passed up the opportunity to never clean someone else’s feces again. The two realities can exist at once.

[@christianellopm]

The verdura is the real star of the show.

[@WatchCheck]

Dottoreeee... somebody knows the good stuff. Thanks for watching Christian ;)

[@WatchClyde]

Love the video! Amazing collection...Christian should have a video like this on his channel.

[@jonathanlau6964]

Incredible! This is what it is all about... aspiration, followed by achievement and then a realization that what truly matters are the simple things that money cannot buy! Sadly... you need to get to a point where you have it all to truly know that it doesn't matter! Brilliant story telling! I am trying to replicate my father's watch collection with modern versions. It is completely ridiculous and makes no sense to do it, but for whatever reason, it is something that I am drawn to do! Happy New Years everyone!!

[@triniboy05]

Brilliant production and storytelling, the score was perfectly timed and apporpriate.

[@DustandPiers]

Super relatable stuff here, Christian. Home run. This is the internet using its power for good. This was how we were supposed to use this thing, to connect.

[@jharez9168]

This was amazing to watch, thank you!

[@MyWatchChannel]

This channel is going to explode! Great stuff

[@etamarshamoil2739]

Dude this one has to be the best work yet! Hands down inspiring.

[@WatchCheck]

Serious complement that's seriously appreciated. Thank you. Christian was always a massive inspiration to me not just in watches but for storytelling, meant a ton to create this with him. Glad you enjoyed!

Leaning on the doors like a baller

Glad someone caught that ;)

[@David-wp3sv]

Your E30 is awesome man! A 318is was my first vehicle and I miss it every day!

[@WatchCheck]

318’s are so fun! There's this unique bond among us Bimmer aficionados. I started with an e28 (my grandfather had one in the 80’s)... When I came across Christian's e30, it was a no brainer to feature it, also paired so well with the narrative. Glad you enjoyed, lots more to come!

[@franciscofonseca6328]

Best Theo and Harris short ever. Congratulations and thank you guys!

[@WatchCheck]

Thank you Francisco for the massive compliment, was such an honour to have done a film with Christian. Hope you stick around for more ;) Ciao!

[@franciscofonseca6328]

I was having a crapy day, and for 10' i forgot about it. Felt really close to the subject, specially because i work hard in order to improve my life. Again thanks guys.

[@chriscon8463]

Well done, Christian! Wear them proudly.

[@Sabrermk42]

Fantastic video, I only wish it were longer!

[@mp10549]

Good thing he has that GMT, which is definitely steel and not white gold, to balance out all of the gold watches in his collection

[@lukeblankenship8424]

I think it’s actually white gold.

[@VMIyanks04]

It actually is white gold. He’s shown it and talked about it on his channel many times.

And the radio gave the CODE error when he turned the car on 😂

[@ggeckocincy]

My favorite video to date.

[@dielalex89]

Im just alittle older than Christian and I have to say I just love his style - so incredibly different to the normal.. I love the way he rocks that old school 3 series in red -- and that old G wagon he had.. love the Cartier pieces, and the unassuming white gold Pepsi that is only known to those who know.. and as a bonus its like an upgraded version of what his dad wears.. just is a very cool dude who I’d like to meet in person some day

[@walkerb1734]

Incredible video! More just like this please!

[@WatchCheck]

Here ya go Walker ;) kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZy9aWxtZb6nes0feature=shared

[@astorbeijer9424]

It's an aspiring video. BUT I have a lot of qualms with it. When I first started watching Christian's videos, back when he used to do them out of his car, he already lived on Long Island. I've never met a poor person who lived on Long Island. Period. Second, Christian gets a decent amount of SSD due to his inability to smell. I mean like it could pay the majority of your rent in the South kind of disability payment. In addition, when he started out in this business, he lived with his parents. So, when Chistian says he did this on his own, I can't help but wonder how many disability payments went toward the business when he was starting out. When the government supports your needs, can really claim success as though it's your own?

[@TheoandHarris]

I can’t tell if you’re joking around or not. I am not from Long Island and I do not get SSD. I did live with my parents until I was 26 though yes. I am very lucky for their support

[@ankuragarwal3660]

Absolutely amazing

I love this dude and I only know him from here lol maybe one day we’ll cross paths. Much love to you and Michael
