Watch Expert reacts to Jean-Claude Biver on Talking Watches (Hodinkee)

[@nolanreed7090]

Ben told the story (maybe on the Hodinkee podcast?) that when he showed up at Jean Claude's house, Jean Claude said he had totally forgotten about the interview and hadn't gone to the bank to get the watches he wanted to show. They carried on and did the interview anyways using "just what he had in the house".

[@Tareef]

Are you frikkin' kidding? 😳 That's incredible 😲

[@meandme591]

True

[@multifamdev]

You missed commenting on the tens of millions of Euros worth of art on the walls. Two original Van Goghs makes that watch collection look cheap.

[@dmjdmj]

This is your best video yet. Strangely enough this original video has somehow escaped me. Loved it.

[@joelluder8549]

I remember i got a vintage 60s Tag Heuer from my grandmom she lives nearby la chaux de fonds so she just went there and asked for the watch to be cleaned - no reservation no nothing just went in there. They cleaned the watch, gave her a box and a certificate free of charge. This is the service we swiss are famous for, be it in watchmaking or banking.

[@rustyshackleford17]

Along side with the John Mayer interview, this is one of the most important interviews they've ever done. They were able to interview a legend who was one of the ones responsible for saving the industry.

Sehr interessant! 👍 Die Uhren heutzutage finde ich nicht annähernd so schön. Die Uhren von damals haben viel mehr Herz und Seele. Eine Richard Mille z.b. wirkt dagegen wie Plastik aus dem Kaugummiautomaten. No Front!

Why didn’t you say the approximate prices for these ? I guess it would be hard since they are unique pieces. But I’m curious

[@fuzzystick2890]

I am not a huge watch enthusiast, and by many people’s standards I have poor taste in watches for appreciating Richard Mille, and Jacob and co. But your videos and quality content has helped me get through lock down.

[@mambomalle]

His collection is just adorable !

[@YoutubeCensorsYou]

If he placed 10 of his watches in a watch collector's box, nobody in the world would be able to match it in terms of value. Not even a box filled with 10 RMs would have a higher price tag.

Ich hatte das Vergnügen ihn zu treffen als ich meinen MBA gemacht habe in Lausanne und er als Gastredner eingeladen wurde. Wahsinnspersönlichkeit. Ganz toller Mann.

[@edjustice7755]

Thanks for the review and work you put into this!! Lost count how many times I have watched this video...It sucks me back in every time. Agree, JCB's experience and stories are the pinnacle of the industry with a wide range of successes that are unmatched!

[@WristwatchAddiction]

The most amazing thing about this whole dinky video is that Ben Climer has gone on record as saying that when they showed up to JCB’s house, he had forgotten they were coming to film his watches that day so he did not bring his “good “watches from the vault and only showed the watches that he had laying around the house. Just think about that! If these are what we’re just laying around the house, just imagine what’s actually in the vault!

[@pattchan7938]

How much do you think Mr Biver’s whole watch collection shown on this video is worth in $US?

[@agentdalecooper1406]

It's very hard to determine. Those watches are so unique and in such a great shape with a great story attached to them on top of everything. You can't put a price on them cause I could imagine demand is enormous while supply is non existent. You'd have to auction them but then if you owned pieces like Jean-Claude Biver you;'d never get rid of them. Tl;dr His collection as a whole is priceless

This video I have seen when it was first uploaded by Hodinkee and since then I have watched it more than 100 times. He is a legendary person, charismatic, energetic, passionate about watches, I am following him as my inspiration, mentor in horology field. His son is the General manager of lvmh for China very nice person indeed. I wish him good health and look forward to meet him in 2021 Baselworld.

[@jimmylam6252]

Absolutely stunning piece ... grail watch collection Jean is obsessed with his competitors Patek that has tried to dominate luxury sport watches using same exact formula. However Lange datograph also shaken Patek greatly. Lange has done nothing to disrupt AP. It’s like AP sport is ahead of Patek, and Patek copied AP; or Patek Nautilus attacks on AP Royal Oak whilst Lange chronograph in-house movement’s is the other way round; Lange attacks Patek dress complications with in-house movements. If I am Stern I would buy Lange triple split chronograph.

Ich kommentier einfach mal hier, weil ich dazu nichts richtig im Internet gefunden habe und sich vlt ja jmd. auskennt. Meine Traumuhr war schon immer eine vollgold Rolex mit Jubile Band. Meines Wissens gibt es das aber nur bei der day date. Nun habe ich aber auf Chrono 24 datejust Modelle gefunden, gebraucht und neu in vollgold mit jubile Armband .Gehe ich allerdings auf die Rolex Seite ist diese Kombi doch garnicht möglich 🤔

[@fabianthe_lazy_couch_potat7657]

Keule, ich hab noch nicht viel von Deinen Videos gesehen. Hatte bei den wenigen kurzen Ausschnitten immer das Gefühl Du wärst abgehoben und ein wenig bekloppt (was wahrscheinlich zu Deinem Image gehört.) Nach diesem Video weiß ich jedoch eines...Du hast völlig einen an der Klatsche, aber auf eine tolle Art. Man merkt richtig die Leidenschaft für Horology die in Dir brodelt und das finde ich bemerkenswert. Ich bin noch relativ neu im "Uhrenfetisch" und hoffe irgendwann das gleiche Feuer zu verspüren, wenn ich über Zeitmesser spreche. Bleib gesund mein Freund Beste Grüße Fabian
