[@SwissWatchGang]

Thank you! =)

[@joeblackwolf17]

That’s great to see. What a cOllection and awesome stories behind the watches

[@leyay7540]

I also care about the dial of a watch more than its movement. Because I love to wear my watches and when they are on my wrist, I only look at their dials, not movements. Recently I just got the Credor Eichi II and I love it crazily. Maybe for most people, it is famous because of the meticulously finished movement, but I fell for it because of its dial and overall look. It's hard to describe but it does ooze unique elegance to me that I've never felt from any other watch.

[@SwissWatchGang]

Eichi II !!!! Love that watch!

[@songoku-jx3cb]

Why not buy a mbnf and look at both at the same time

[@JogieGlenMait]

This guy is right at so many stuff on this interview. Respect, man. Respect.

[@SwissWatchGang]

Vas is awesome! :)

[@dgb6355]

This is a cool guy, the stories of his watches are as interesting as the watches themselves. Thanks for sharing.

[@SwissWatchGang]

Kind words and I can only agree :) Thanks for watching.

[@juleswild9498]

Amazing watch collection and great taste and story! Thanks a lot! Looking forward to the next vid, keep living the dream mate!

[@SwissWatchGang]

Thank you for watching! Appreciate the kind words! :)

[@helintroy]

Heyy love your Chanel !!! It’s such an honest view into the world of watch collecting. The stories are what truly make the watch even if it’s not the most expensive or historical brand it makes them that much more unique and special.

[@SwissWatchGang]

Thank you!

[@romaingauthier4080]

Really good interview with a cool collector and great guy. Well done!

[@SwissWatchGang]

[@Honraxxx]

Very nice collection.I have been motivated by this video.Thank you so much both of you.

[@SwissWatchGang]

Glad you liked it. Check his Instagram account @nacwatchguy he bought crazy pieces since than.

[@WristwatchAddiction]

I clicked on this and at once saw 4 identical Herman Miller / Eames Lounge chairs surrounding a Knoll / Eero Saarinen Tulip table and was like DANG! This one is gonna be interesting… and, it was. Went a totally different direction than I expected. This dude is one of the real ones. Great collection. Great video!

[@SwissWatchGang]

Glad you liked it and happy to see another connoisseur of chairs and furniture ☺️

[@daintiestquarters3411]

great storyteller... the Movado story is awesome.

This was an eye opener to people who seek artisans and pieces of art. Bravo @nycwatchguy. Kudos to @swisswatchgang for doing this interview.

Love this guy's passion for watches, and his views on Rolex.

[@dennisfraschetta2456]

The storyline behind the watches is really interesting 🤔 thanks for sharing

[@zeljkobosnjak7764]

Great video and tips for people who want to entry more serious watch brands.

[@SwissWatchGang]

Yea, he is awesome!

[@BorisBidjanSaberi11]

I followed him immediately after this video, what a great guy !

[@darrellmccall6100]

Jesus, how nostalgic for me. It started with Movado for me as well and I still keep four Movado's in rotation. For Macy's that is the top tier as well as some fashion brands (Gucci and Burberry). Things have changed and my tier has changed substantially BUT never forget my roots.

[@dalton1824]

This guys watch game is awesome, but his strap game is super underrated!

[@SwissWatchGang]

haha true that!

[@Janet_Airlines802]

I’ve never seen a watch with the balance on the dial. That’s really cool.

[@SwissWatchGang]

MBF has a few of them. go check them out :)

[@officialbrandoncoleman]

Nice watches bro keep up the great work

[@SwissWatchGang]

Yeah, his collection is nuts :)

[@AK-jl5xt]

I dream of owning the 5170p, great choice! My grail piece second only to the Lange Zeitwerk. Super collection, thank you.

[@Joe-xo3xy]

@Swiss Watch gang@NYC Watch Guy; Dude!!! I have been talking with Torsti Laine Watches. His 1817 Model is ridiculously beautiful. Big Thanks to you guys for giving him some exposure. I went as far as e-mailing hodinkee to give him some exposure and got nothing back. Torsti Laine worked under kari Voutilainen and Lange.

[@SwissWatchGang]

yea, he's doing some really cool stuff and deserves attention :)

[@Khanh.Nguyen369]

A face to the wrist. Love the IG memes man. Love your concept on independents. Why am I going to bend backwards and sacrifice my first born to get a mass produced steel watch. I really should look into indes.

[@SwissWatchGang]

Hahaha first born analogy was hilarious 😂 indies, more product for money!

I started watching this interesting channel today... I like watch stories... One day afther my birtdhay my father found my grandparents old watch .... It was inside a box for More than 30 years! I saved at last moment from the trash....what a surprise ! I did some research .... It was an universal geneve polerouter date from 1966 with 69 microtor caliber!

Didnt go through the comments. But when you guys were talking about UG assimetrical looking Dials, my first thought was the Longines Avigation Big Eye. Just hinting🤫. In IMO Longines is öne of the most underrated Brands in the Watch Universe. Cheers X

[@timeisahumanconstruct9251]

He's right. We don't fuck the movement, we fuck the dial. That's the money shot.

[@richardman28]

That FP journe is amazing!! All their watches are amazing.. in my opinion, high horology at it's best!! My favourite FP Journe is the chronometre resonance. The 18k rose gold calibre on that watch is something out of this world. Better than all these hype and celebrity endorsed brands

[@SwissWatchGang]

I am a big fan of FPJ as well! Love the tourbillon models!

@@richardman28 haha I just said I love them, not that I'll buy them now :D

[@richardman28]

@@SwissWatchGang hahaha you have good taste then. Been collecting watches since I was 15 years old and now 43. The FP Journe 18k rose gold calibre movement has been the only thing in watch collecting in all these years that has made me speechless when holding it. High end horology at it's best.

We disagree on your New Rolex opinion but our Movado story is nearly identical. Purchased mine in 2003 wore until 2010 when I picked up my Breitling. You collection is unique and unpretentious well done.

So cool! 😊

[@mikehoward9912]

Amazing interview and a down to earth guy who has an incredible passion. Total opposite to the ass wipes that hoard 20 new Rolex in their safe to cash in later. Epitomizes the term "cool cat"

[@martinpikna7603]

Lol his story from Rome reminds me of first day in Honk Kong. I crossed the street to go and see a watch shop and lost my ex in crowds. Funnily, she was watching me looking all lost and left me like that for about 5 minutes😂

[@SwissWatchGang]

hahahahaha

[@martinpikna7603]

So good to have people like SWG on youtube who actually appreciate watches for what they are and won’t judge because you don’t have the lates overpriced rolex. Makes me feel bad for selling some watches I actually loved.

[@SwissWatchGang]

Thanks Martin I appreciate the kind comment. If you feel bad because you sold them and if that feeling stays try to get them back but don't dwell on it. It's a journey and you'll get new cool ones. :)

[@martinpikna7603]

@@SwissWatchGang you know I had a rule never to buy same watch again as there is so many to enjoye, but I bought one of my watches back(Concord C1) at exactly same price I sold it and by sheer luck, it actually was the same watch💪
