There are few things in the world as universally sought after as a gold Rolex. Of course it's a status symbol, a flashy gold timepiece built to show the world that you've made it. However, to some, it's much more than that. It's an acknowledgement to yourself that you've hit a milestone, you've made it to a point that previously felt so far away and so hard to achieve. The weight of a gold Rolex is more than the incredibly dense metal, it's a representation of where you've been, where you are, and how you got there.

My car blew up today. I felt like crying. I saw my wrist and after watching this is video. I said myself. I’m here and I’m here to stay. Always forward never back.

[@sonickautschuhe]

As they said on the GDR "vorwärts immer, rückwärts nimmer" which roughly translates to "always forward, never backwards". This should be our motto all the time. Stay strong my friend 🫶

[@sonickautschuhe]

Directly it wpuld be something like: "forwards ever, backwards never."

[@CaptainWillard830]

Great attitude! Sorry about your car. You’ll find a solution and be in a stronger position! Stay motivated

[@riec4482]

Right.... blown up car....

[@USA79999]

Stay strong and hold on in the storm. Calm waters are near. Blessings

[@coronetmag]

The one area Rolex totally missed on and you guys captured so well: The pursuit of excellence in the family. Not in the boardroom, not on the tennis court, but among those we love. Congratulations. Very well done.

[@prnuvsharma55]

This is storytelling at the highest level. So great to showcase your parents and their stories.

[@fabiangomez9269]

What a tribute to your parents. Very moving, had me in tears at the end. I immediately want to share this with my wife. Thank you Christian for this

[@Darius-nk9fx]

Reaganite new money gush pretentiously about their gaudy objects ... so deep

[@forgettmenot]

@@Darius-nk9fxObviously someone hasn’t gone to school to look further than images on the screen. Unfortunate!

[@ujnnju]

I agree. I did the exact same thing. Such a wonderful combination of family values, an ode to the gold Rolex watch, and happiness.

[@jamiedamaral4011]

Fantastic video Christian. What a testament to hard work both professionally and familially. It really highlights how attached watches can be with achievements and memories. What really hit me the most was when your mother said that the new Rolex was apparently hers but that the promise had to be that she would give it to your daughter. What a way to bond three generations with one inanimate object! Amazing. Only problem with this video is that it has me searching for a solid gold Rolex.... Which I cannot afford at the moment.

[@fifa3]

"I'm not gonna sugarcoat it, there were some real tough times. But throughout all that we never gave up on one another. If there's one ingredient to why we're sitting here today, it's the Gold Rolex" - the man himself

[@robocraw]

content like this is an absolute minefield for being cringey or out of touch and you guys navigate it so, so well. instead it comes out thoughtful and authentic. kudos, insanely well done.

[@1malikalik]

Best Watch Review video I have ever watched. The Stories. The Journey. The Memories. The Lessons. The Chronology are Purely Timeless. Thanks. You easily got my subscription and hope these video is seen The world across.

[@scottreiburnNYC]

Superb! Beautifully shot. What an elegant, comprehensive way to hear about watches and family, family, and watches, and what it all means. Really great stuff.

[@latinballa88]

Honestly, mom’s advice about raising kids is some of the best I’ve ever heard. Certainly the first time I’ve ever put this way. “Raise your kids to be people you will want to hang out with.” Her saying that she lost her best friend the day her mom died and that she’d be okay because she raised two new best friends made me tear up 🥲

[@vnctmrn]

my great uncle immigrated to the netherlands and later belgium during the war in indonesia which he just barely escaped. He came from nothing, found his talent in making beautiful dresses for weddings, bar mitzwah, etc... He rewarded himself with a Rolex 18238 and a Patek 3700 to remind himself of his success and to, well, fit in. He had and still has beautiful taste in everything, watches, clothing, furniture, food,... He's worn the daydate every single day and night, and it shows. He's old, isolated and can barely walk anymore, but me and my parents regularly drive up to belgium to visit him and hang out. Years ago he gifted me both of his watches on my 18th birthday, to show his gratitude for our help and just... accompany him, since most family never bothered to keep up contact. Coincidentally, I was just getting into watches at that time, and I suspect he knew that. We decided to sell the Patek for his own retirement fund, he had absolutely NO idea what it was worth!! I regularly wear my daydate and I just absolutely love the story behind it, how it reminds myself of him, my family, and where we came from. All of my indonesian side of the family wears gold :) idgaf if some people think it looks tacky. Love the video.

[@jl3361]

Your mom made me cry when she talked about having to give the watch to your daughter. Absolutely beautiful.

[@pamisavejr]

One of the best and most healthful and touching videos from T&H. On what memories, stories, milestones, etc is all about. Love the storytelling and how watches associate to this, what branding is all about.

[@iheisenberg2482]

What a cinematic way to tell a story with a perfect background music as well! Love it

[@FightingMango]

Christian….well adjusted ?! Get outta here! 😂

[@dominickcolasanto6582]

Family first, everything else second, that's the key.

[@taketoshitakamura4078]

You have a great parents. I love a gold watch too. I like it because it is heavy.

[@dominickcolasanto6582]

@Taketoshi Takamura Thank you. I appreciate your compliment. I believe that you did also.

[@berniepino1614]

The most compelling and emotionally intelligent storytelling in the watch world right now, in my opinion. Came across the video of your grandfather, and have been floored by each of the following stories. Bravo!

[@Snowkone81]

For those of us fairly new into horology, this makes me understand the emotional value behind these archaic, jewelry timepieces. Bravo!

[@guillaumeschirra7699]

It’s great sharing this with us. I sincerely appreciate it, for real. And this Day-Date is stunning !

[@jeanlefranc3817]

All these 1980’s America vibes. Makes me nostalgic.

[@notenoughtime7274]

LOVED this video. Really great job. No one does it better. I grew up and was in my teens in late 80s and early 90s. This video really resonated on a nostalgic level, and the influence from that era on aspiration and tastes today.

[@jasonmagbanua]

My head says just see through all the romanticization and dismiss this as just materialistim. But the video is so well put together, filmed beautifully and has captivating subjects that my heart says - go get a Gold Rolex. Excellent work guys! One tech question - the video is so crisp and filmic - wanted to ask what camera was used.

[@NorthKoreanSimp]

it is just materialism lol and i’m guessing these ppl are small hat mafia

[@verynormalman]

Nice family story. But, I personally really don't like the aspect of Rolex that is purely a way to differentiate wealth. Your watch shouldn't make others feel bad, by you wearing it. And possessions, you own, shouldn't control your life.

[@parkje214]

I've seen your videos here and there. This one won my subscription. Paradigm shift for definition of success... Family goals!

[@sgypornaty1170]

Buy gold better than buy a gold Rolex

[@edwinchavous2937]

Now THIS is what this channel should be about! Well Played!!!

[@sgt0331able]

Wonderful video! Thank you so much for sharing. I grew up in the 80’s and yes I too lived in a small studio apt. With mother, father, and younger brother. Looking back I enjoy to appreciate family time. All of my watches will be going to my daughter so that she may wear it and or give them to my future grandkids. Though I couldn’t say it even better “family is my Rolex “!

[@DeepsGnome]

I mean, i really like watches, but this video isn't really about watches at all. Its mainly about seeking status, the want of money and feeling wealthy... pretty shallow values... and then a little bit about family at the end...

[@milesrickman9270]

Well done. What a nice close-knit family. I miss my mom and dad everyday. Nice that Rolex was introduced into the video, but that was about love and friendship. Your sister favors your father, you favor your mother. Keep up the good work with your videos.

[@ulisesalmoinadelcueto4276]

Christian, this is the Story of Me & My wife... We have given a Rolex to each other for our 30th (lady date-just yellowrollesor white human ns / Date just pinkrollesor Wimbledon for me... I love your channel but I can say your parents are the best ever, and I can tell when they said “A life of sacrifices, we start with zero”...this is the story of our lives too... Congratulations Mom & Dad... From Ulises (a Spanish guy living in London and a Rolex employee) 😊❤

[@BadgerJeff]

Wow. That comment about "investing in someone" is such a great lesson for us all to learn and keep in the front of our thoughts. Well done video!

[@benbiber4135]

Brilliant episode, lovely family reminding me of my own and since your parents are just 2 years older than me ,I feel I can relate to their story so much more… I’ve been following your stories for a while and as a watch lover I truly appreciate the sophistication and natural class of your presentations and personal taste . Both my daughters got into watches eventually and it makes me happy that we can communicate and commemorate some special moments through our mutual passion . Also, it’s rather evident that your parents sacrifices were not in vain and if there’s one thing that can’t be said about you in “ new money “ but rather comfortable elegance,which is the logical conclusion of that union and you and your sister (from what I’ve seen of her ) perfectly fulfill your parents expectations Have a great and productive year ahead and remember to keep the balance ! Best wishes from Cape Town 😊

[@boombringer4078]

I sometimes give christian shit in the comments, but when he does his real heartfelt film making....... its absolutely awesome!!!! I love it!

[@ericlevell4895]

That was a great video! Thank you for putting content out that is emotional and real. It’s a rarity in today’s society to see family cherished. Congrats to you and your family. I pray continued success and happiness.

[@kurtmarion2799]

Rolly is such a hustler. Respect the man!

[@coronetmag]

Rolex is the brand, not of the rich, but of those who were formerly poor.

[@harry688]

What a lovely people they are, so warm and open. Great examples! This made my day! Thank you so much for sharing this! 🙏

[@_shayanz]

Beautiful video Christian, as always

[@gregorycoffer7717]

Besides the whole authenticity of this happy couple sharing their story...there were 2 key words in the beginning from the husband...Capitalism and small government...Amen

[@trevorhoch3553]

This is why I love watches. So many beautiful moments about the people behind them. This video hits right in the ‘feels’.❤

[@TheNotoriousKID]

So this is the video that earned my subscription. Amazing storytelling!

[@daneconnelly]

I also love the sentimental content from T&H. Everything they do is sentimental in a sense, however, when family is included in the video drops it always strikes me as amazing. Please keep making content like this. Amazing stuff

[@watchjuggernaut9405]

I just found this KZbin channel today and watched a few videos…this video is my favorite!!!! Great life advice and a great watch.

[@sstrey174]

Just purchased my first 2 tone gold / steel datejust with diamond markers at 42. Wish my dad was alive to see it. Great video.

[@devinpowers4368]

Fuck. This isn't just about a watch, this is real love. Family. Good job.

[@jasonknight5863]

Such a beautiful story. It embodies a good life in itself. I understand a Gold Rolex. I’m getting one now:) thanks 🙏🏻 great video.

[@freesalt3989]

America needs more families like this. Very touching.

[@allenu342]

Amazing video Christian. Thank you for sharing your parents success in career, and raising a great family. Also, tying that back to watches makes it even more spectacular.

[@thechancellor842]

I made the switch to my 40mm YG Rolex day date ( silver dial ) around 1 year ago. I sold all my other watches and only wear this one day in and day out. This watch was and is my grail watch from over 35 years ago. I grew up lower middle class on a farm in WV. Now I live in DC and worked my whole life to be able to afford nice things. My Rolex is my pride and joy right after my family/friends. Great vid Christian.

[@varunparkash9007]

Should have bigger goals in life than a gold rolex kid, but to each his own, having owned a few of these, without real relationships, these are nothing but just another piece of metal to flash.

[@ashleyg6479]

Christian ..what a beautiful tribute to your parents ..lovely to see ..thank you !

[@0728451031548270jeff]

Wonderfully done, very emotional for me. My Father being killed at the very end of the second world war when my mother was 4 months pregnant with me. Now at 77 and as I have gotten older I miss him even more each day. Never had an emotional bond with my stepfather, even before finding out he wasn't my father. I've been very fortunate and have a fabulous wife, children and grand children, but wonder what if...

[@JH-sk6bb]

Dammit. This is beautiful, I normally don’t comment… but as someone who loves watches and has two young kids and aging parents it’s just absolutely wonderful to hear stories of live and love and family. Yes it’s about watches, but there is something so meaningful when it’s tied to life events and experiences.

[@fantastikfanatic1900]

Nice man. I'm in pharma industry too and I'm 37 and I got a couple of rolexes and working myself upto a day date when I turn 40

[@rolexdatejust2015]

Great! Thats Exactly waht I Love about you guys! I really feel emotional touched ❤ Great Great Work 🎉

[@johnprosser5035]

A beautiful video.... Love it. When KZbin is full of people asking about how much their Rolex is worth as an investment. This highlights the true value!!! Owning something you invest your love and feeling into.... You have a wonderful family

[@AzamatoTheGreat]

100% that Christian came up with the idea of mentioning the fact that he gave his mom the gift lol.

[@RobertKusicki]

One of the best films I’ve ever watched on KZbin 👏🏾 Awesome family unit and beautifully told!

[@christopherhoglund4962]

Thanks for sharing your family with us. Touching video.

[@ABUTARI70]

Awesome video, wonderful combination of strong family values, with a timeless product,🍷🍷

[@iaj7517]

Excellent excellent video! Top notch! Beautiful delivery! Thank you for posting!

[@djangodanomad9781]

Ima truck driver and I bought a 18k gold day date 41mm and it didn't make me think I was upper crust. It was just a watch that would be worth what I paid for it when I sell it🤷🏾‍♂️

[@ricardoespinosa8818]

This is fantastic storytelling and you’ve earned a subscriber today. Thank you for sharing.

[@TheWatchHangout]

Wow, What a wonderful video. I have always been a big fan of this channel and the way you renew my love for watches. This time you guys really outdid yourselves. Cheers 🥂

[@pb4614]

Golden Rolex is the best protection against inflation: Gold + Rolex price increases in CHF + joy of wearing!

[@MJagger89]

Might want to check out inflation protected bonds…

[@pb4614]

No, I prefer golden Rolex with CHF price increases (especially for those living in GBP or USD or other worse currencies). I prefer this type of annual total return.

[@HumanAction1]

This is the most Staten Island thing on this channel

[@Mare14lj]

Great video, got goosebumps at the end👏👏👏

[@LinkeHarryB]

Nice video and a great testament to a fortuitous family. But I'm still of the opinion that gold is too flashy and showy. The fact that people on the other side of the room will spot it is a reason for me not to buy it. First someone will wonder (or ask) if it's even real, then they will wonder what you're trying to compensate for by showing off like that, and when outside you need to be careful not to get it ripped off your arm. But perhaps that's just a European perspective...

[@ronaldhenry3493]

you think too much. just enjoy the watch. most people don't care what you wear and if you wear a Rolex, for people who know a stainless steel model is still showy. Buy a Vacheron(which is my favorite). As for watch theft, steel rolex will still attract the same attention. you gotta go for something like Tag Heuer or perhaps even Casio/Seiko to avoid that kind of attention

[@1996Egr]

One of the most incredible videos I have ever see. "That is my gold Rolex" at the end made me chiver

[@jimyip2]

This is a beautiful video Christian, your family story is wonderful! Your parents seem like some very inspiring, salt of the earth people! They sound like heaps fun parents to have!

[@TeyanThuny]

This is definitely an add I’m not a sheep. I don’t buy rolex it’s just insane I wear gold Orient with Jubilee

[@patriciateague8677]

Your parents are the sweetest couple. Enjoy every moment you can with them.

[@michaelulm1305]

what a wonderful video…just wonderful as simple as that. its not only about status and watches, its about your familiy and your gold ones

[@ilevakaM9]

This was beautiful to watch and I keep returning to watch it every couple months 🏆

[@williamwhite1982]

What a great heart felt video!

[@thomasbarnes6727]

Christian, this is your best video ever!!!!

[@lechad]

Dude! A KZbin watch video that is emotional 😢 ❤

[@miguelmontes8997]

This was awesome, excellent work

[@ilmostro16]

Why do I always feel like Rolexes, especially gold ones, are just so tacky / gaudy? Is it just me? Is that actually the charm, or am I the only one who thinks so? I love this video though, fantastic.

[@barlow1973]

Phenomenal story. Thanks for sharing.

[@philiplauzon1743]

Short answer - Because you can afford it 🎤👍

[@jicalzad]

The only answer

[@oldschooldrumcorps]

I love every minute of this life story, and watching the longest Rolex commercial I’ve ever seen!

[@klaushaunstrupchristensen7252]

I have not a simple droplet of gold. But will have to agree that it’s a mesmerizing colour/martial It’s one of the three colours associated with the divine and the gods. These colours are blue, white and gold. The reason mythology has it like this, is that it is what you see in the sky where they preside. Blue is the clear sky, white the clouds and gold is the sun. We mere mortals live on the ground looking up unto the heavens above and wish some of it can be ours. Greetings from Denmark

[@dwellinginthefire2449]

The reason I wear a gold watch is mostly psychological. When I look at my wrist, I get a feeling of abundance. It induces a positive feedback which stems out into all areas my life.

[@MC-ds4hs]

Cool to know you used to work in the pharmaceutical back in the days. That attitude itself on taking a lower pay and foresee the future potential. Respect and salute! I guess you worked for Zeneca (ICI)

[@jwags24]

This is one of my favorite pieces of work you’ve created.

[@Drunkcilla]

Hubby got his Platinum 3 weeks ago with the ice blue. Ordered 2 months ago so we have the new one with the Fluted version. We gave the gold one same as yours to our daughter, that is hubby’s first Gold day date rolex from hard work 30 yrs ago. The platinum is so rare these days but we have a very good connection with our agent. She became family to us since this is our 20th Rolex piece and we also bought a Patek Philippe through her connection. There are more than 50 people in the waiting list for the platinum but she fought for us. Even when the pandemic hits and there is no rolex in the shop, she ordered my lady date just with diamonds Her reason is because hubby always buys rolex to give to our employees not just for ourselves 😊 $500,000 worth of Rolex and we will never stop buying it.

[@pretender000]

Wonderful story, you made me cry.

[@Gerber-tq3vp]

They seem to be genuinely good people. The type of people you want to know. Great video.

[@AgGuy07]

I like this a lot. It actually made me reflect on my journey, my young family, and how I hope to be seen by them long in the future.

[@johnaldbury9814]

Beautiful family story told with an elegant loving touch. Reminds me of the famous first sentence of Leo Tolstoy's novel Anna Karenina “Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.” Listen to you mother Christian, she has the wisdom of a women that understands the secrets of making a successful family!

[@ntdavis96]

Wow, what a great story to tell and share with others.

[@andy_ceb]

Definitely want a Rolex to pass down as a family heirloom now.

[@Milofchg]

Beautiful family Christian, I’m also blessed to come from a beautiful family and now have my own going on 17 years. Like your awesome dad who’s close to my age said it best. “The success of my family, that’s my gold Rolex”

[@bambammartin1556]

T&H’s style of marketing really speaks to me deeply. I love this.

[@nilsweers1887]

Loved every second of this

[@adamcarter699]

It's a beautiful story, you look, sound and articulate just like your father. Your mother is a great polar opposite in being exceptionally a woman and very grounding. They have a beautiful kitchen. Can we have more emotional moments surrounding horology like this? ❤

[@EDHBlvd]

What a great film. Great parents. They look so happy.

[@mintruth]

A truly INSPIRING piece!!!

[@andygrant1974tricky]

Fantastic and moving video about the true emotions that a watch can bring.

[@smitty923]

Mom won with that WG Day Date. Wow

[@NorthKoreanSimp]

“always presented like he had money” this is cringe and embarassing. and what’s wrong with our country

[@MyRucstar]

HUGE Rolly fan. Christian and Michael.... they're okay too... but ROLLY and his Wife..... being of a similar age, I gravitate and relate to them the most. That said Rolly, says... that professional achievements allow you to do all the wonderful things with those you love. Such a great reminder and truly words to live by.
