This Rolex watch stopped during Richard Hammond's Rimac crash

[@ItsDanLatham]

The Rolex being sent back in that presentation box is so very on brand for Mate Rimac. What a guy.

[@Cloxxki]

Mate Rimac just might be the best guy...in the world.

That Rolex is a part of automotive history. Richard utterly demolishing that Rimac concept was the moment where everything changed for the company, and now they own Bugatti, and make some of the most impressive and innovative vehicles in the world.

[@shoutout.kokain8713]

in a weird way, i feel as though this shelf holds memories of our own too. i mean, most of us have watched them our whole lives.

[@richsackett3423]

Wow, Richard, that album your parents made for you of your childhood photos is wonderful. When I was in my mid-40s, my mom just shoved all the stuff from my childhood into my hands and told me to get it out of her house. She's been gone 7 years and I haven't missed her one second. You are a lucky man.

[@lotus7replicachevron479]

[@CometSamurai]

So glad he remembers Brainiac that was the one show on Sky One I would watch EVERYDAY when it came on when I was younger. I basically grew up watching Richard Hammond and to this day he’s still one of my favourite presenters ever to grace British television

[@101Phase]

That show was my introduction to Richard Hammond and I only really started watching Top Gear because he was in it. I then fell in love with that show and the rest is history. It also meant that I learned to hate caravans long before I watched Top Gear where they explained the reason why

[@astina7574]

I would just enjoy Hammond just talk about stuff that interest him if I were there. I would never leave.

[@rogerpritchard]

Nice chap. No swearing. Speaks well and articulate.

[@shoryuXE10]

for anyone curious about the bass, i did a bit of researching on it. it appears to be a custom-spec Status Shark, based on the pickguard design and the headstock logo you can more easily see in TG S20E1. i can find pictures of a 4 string model with specs almost matching this one, but i couldn't find an exact match.

[@gf9898]

Yup, status shark, cool basses, I own the status energy which is closely related to it.

[@Jeff.78]

I found it weird when he said it's not a solo instrument 9:32

[@Dave1507]

@@Jeff.78 How is this weird? Do you see many buskers singing their tunes to just a bass? No you don't, because a bass isn't a solo instrument.

[@TrainMaster04]

He is correct about the felt and straw rule in Texas. The general rule is to wear felt in autumn and winter but wear straw in summer and spring. Yet, I have seen people do whatever they want to do. Carol Shelby wore a black Stetson all year long!

[@henrykmur]

It's a mark of a truly great presenter, he can just take you on a tour of his shelf and make it into an entertaining experience.

[@uranusneptun5239]

I like how he has a huge house in the countryside but keeps his most memorable things in a small plain shelf. 😂

[@number1yota]

I don't think you mentioned it but I believe that helmet on the top right shelf in camouflage was worn in a particular show about 3 old men falling over, traveling from Iraq to Bethlehem and you were in a pretty little Fiat.

[@audemarspiguet4237]

Absolutely LOVE these videos showing Hammond’s life outside of TV

[@paulobeckerrb26dett]

"Made in Switzerland, carefully perfected on 10th June 2017 by the British" I laughed quite a bit at that.

[@cleverusername9369]

Pretty brilliant joke, really. I don't typically associate the Swiss with people that have a sense of humor, but there you are.

[@slamcrank]

Love all your videos guys, but this has been my favorite. PLEASE go through the books on your shelf for us, Richard. I'd love to know what's worthy of hanging out on your bookshelf.

Shouldn’t think anyone visiting Hammond’s shelf of stuff in person would mind hearing him take the scenic route down memory lane again.

Richard Hammond can't even build a Lego car without losing the wheels. He should just keep it on its roof with some Lego paramedics running towards it to cut his trousers.

Edit: That Rolex Sea-Dweller has a water resistance of 1200 meters, too bad it's heat resistance isn't as impressive... Still, what a great memorabilia from such a traumatic moment.

Would be a great thing for a channel like watch revival to restore it. There have been much worse ones brought back to life.

[@raven_of_zoso455]

@@harry-eto yes, that would actually be a nice idea. I like his videos. But also, that's sort of like restoring Jimi Hendrix' burnt Stratocaster from Monterey in '67.
