Watch Expert Critiques Kevin Hart's FULL Watch Collection

[@J4M3ST1T3]

I bought a watch to represent the biggest achievement of my life. I bought a Citizen Eco Drive Chronograph to reward myself for beating a 20 year drug addiction. It wasn't a particularly expensive watch, £450, but to me it was a significant chunk of money. The main reason was to remind me that during my addiction I would have pawned it to feed my habit. If I ever felt the urge to go back I look at my wrist and think that in the past I would have spent that £450 in 1 day and wasted it on drugs. That watch is my promise to myself to never go back, to never again miss out on so much and let life pass me by.

[@LegatoStudios]

Fantastic story

[@larsstougaard7097]

I love my Citizen eco drive too, think I payed the same. Good story and congratulations, hope you can keep off a potential watch addiction 😊

[@J4M3ST1T3]

@@larsstougaard7097 too late, I bought myself a God-tear Casio, I'm saving up for a Tudor Black bay 54 and asked my wife to save up for the next 5 years to buy me an Omega Speedmaster for my 50th. I'm meeting a dealer round the black of the library, he's got some banging Seiko pieces🤣🤣

Nico is 100% right. Hodinkee just isn’t the same. If Ben did this properly - all the watches would be laid out and he would be explaining the provenance. Ben has given up and Nick Merino needs to move on. Lost all the best team there. James is last man standing.

[@bomboclaat1509]

what a terrible video from him. Imagine nico and kevin lol. We'd need kevin to be not touring so hes awake tho, otherwise nicos energy would probably annoy him lol.

[@nothingtobeconcernedabout7477]

That would be too many watches that he would have to get there since that was not in his house or so. Imagine transporting that many watches with that value...

[@jayrf]

5:50 The watch Nico asked about is the Chris Aire 5 Time Zone. It competed w/ Jacob & Co in early 2000s. Most celebs had one ie Jay-Z, LeBron James, 50 Cent etc. Their ads featured Muhammad Ali. It was my grail watch in 2003, when I was 13. It now sits in my collection alongside the world's most complicated and historically significant Hublot timepieces

[@yes-en8ur]

lmao

[@ciarandempsey961]

Underrated

[@Stentordoc]

The whole “watches remind you of something special” theory falls flat when you’re waiting months or years for an AD to contact you to allow you to buy a watch, and it’s likely to just happen on a random Tuesday, and the only thing special about that day is that it’s taco night

[@roxind]

😀😀😀

[@trinity3422]

Lol, well after that initial purchase they should be fairly easy to obtain. I don’t own one YET, but I was offered a Sub 124060 from my AD only a couple of months after I purchased an Omega SMP Diver 300m from them. I just couldn’t make the leap to it only a couple of months after purchasing one.

[@Ruby_Sterling]

Let’s be real, most of us buy on the grey market exclusively.

[@luisloboff4839]

[@salvo2003]

Hey Nico, I’m getting in touch just to thank you. I re-approached the world of watches thanks to your videos. Your amusing and amused approach to a context with such a long and deep history, with such complicated technical aspects, reserved, in reality, only to those who can actually afford luxury goods, made me want to go deeper and study again. I’ve just started my “low budget” collection (one day I hope to be able to transform it into a high end collection) which, net of an Eberhard Extra-Fort from the 50s (a family legacy), currently consists of a Seiko SNKE01J1. I know it’s not much but I trust in your approval 😂. Anyway, thanks again, because you gave me back a passion.

[@trinity3422]

I love these reaction videos on watch collections more than any of your other videos besides your ranking watch brands videos

[@adamthorse7880]

Nico saying that the Hodinkee video with John Mayer is the best. I agree 100%. That video got me in to watches in the first place. Would be awesome to see a video of nico’s reaction to that video, and giving some backstories to John’s incredible collection

Love this review. I hope Hodinkee watches this video and understands that they need to improve their interview style. I watch them because they are Hodinkee and they have access to people and watches that most people do not have access to in real life. I do not watch them because they create great videos.

Nico should do a step by step break down of a watch, explaining each parts of the watch from different watch brands. Love the videos 👍🏽🤌🏽

[@497chris]

15:10 I could not agree more, when a watch is attached to a friend or family member, especially when they have passed away. It reminds you of them every time you look at it. My grandfather's Seiko 62mas does exactly that.

[@HealthThatCares]

Amazing watch collection.

[@Loldrui]

it seems more of a personal opinion. I think he just likes AP more, plus omega is more entry level in luxury watches. When your kevin hearts level, your probably more likly to wear an $80,000 watch instead of a $7,000 watch.

IDK, his seeming hate towards Omega is off putting. But at the same time Omega's advertising is also irksome. paying famous people that couldn't give a crap about watches to be ambassadors.
