The Two Watch Collection: Chris Hall (Senior Watch Editor at MR PORTER)

[@avmelidor]

The fluidity of conversation are always top

Finally someone with a Hermes! And someone who knows his business too. It’s not about the brand, it’s about if the design hits you in the right way.

Nomos’ Alpha caliber is beautiful and very accurate. I don’t wear the Ludwig as much as it deserves but it’s nice to have it there waiting for me.

[@joshpark6407]

Love your two watch collection series. Keep them coming!

[@themrgumbatron]

Nomos Glashutte was also my first introduction to the world of horology. Loved the episode! What a refreshing discussion between the two of you. Nice work Justin and Chris.

Guys, the Nomos Zurich gives me chills because it really reminds me of when I transited through Zurich airport as a child, cold and sterile but warm with fond memories of my vacation to England

Great conversation as always! Quite interesting watches, aren’t they? Not your typical suspects. Watches from Chris’s own collection are both from independent brands, Oris and Nomos, with in-house calibers. Very restrained and classy. Giving that mid century vibe. Watches from Mr. Porter catalogue are completely opposite. Very modern, made of interesting and uncommon materials, bright colours, unique and recognizable designs. That’s why they complement each other so well and make for a great 4 piece collection, with all areas covered: -Nomos Orion - a pure class dress watch; - Hermes H8 - a daily driver; - Oris Divers 65 - a sports watch, great for a weekend; - IWC Pilot’s Chrono - complications.

Hermes H08 Monopusher, I can kill for it.

[@wisamal-hakim5531]

I enjoyed this conversation. This gentleman knows his onions but has made some really interesting and down to earth choices which I personally resonate with. My personal favourite is the Hermes. Such a cool watch. If it were a JLC or something I would have probably bought one I need to get over the brand bias. And like someone else said. Please please have the camera pan up/zoom in beyond the shoes!!! Painful to see

I really liked his taste in choosing of his watches, above the hype of social media and forcing buyers to choose from limited brands and watches (definitely im not meaning Rolex😂)

[@RussellDacre-yz2wm]

Thanks for introducing the H08 - looks fab ❤

[@christianjames4022]

Excellent first to watch!

[@johnnyguitar6697]

I really like that Teba jacket, Justin. I have found them to fit well men with strong upper chest and shoulders like you and I. Oh, and the watch content is great too, as usual. Maybe I need to pay you a visit for an episode of the two watch collection next time I am in London. Dress watch is easy: my A.L&S 1815 Auf/Ab. Everyday or sports watch is more difficult. Probably my Speedmaster Hesalite 3861, but my Sinn EZM3F would be very close and more suited to actual sports activity. I need a three watch collection, really...

[@stefanmariuslange9657]

For me, a collection must have at least three watches. A "collection" is defined as "a group of things". A single watch is definitely not a group, two is debatable, for me it's a pair. If you have three or more, you can call it a collection.

[@BigT71]

Good video. Any chance you can turn down or eliminate the background music? It is quite distracting.

[@watchclog2979]

Can we do a four watch collection? I cant cope with two ;)

[@tockingwatches2377]

You know that’ll lead to a 6 watch collection.

[@stefanmariuslange9657]

Well, I will call a pair of chopsticks in the future a "collection".

[@daviddicicco195]

I swear this video had been released previously?

[@Cantsmilewithoutyou]

Shoes on the carpet chaps. Really?

[@justin_hast]

You missed the worst bit! Put my coffee down and knocking it over! 🤣🤣
