Eric is a class act within the community and very knowledgeable. Great video

[@bartu7544]

ok finally someone without so many of rolex,omega,patek. Thank you.

[@lunam7249]

patek ugly, rolex not my style...your right

[@JHasselroth]

How cool are you, Eric? Always keeping time..."The Time Keeper Eric." A watch brought you to become my friend, when you bought an "EE" watch to help someone in dire need. I knew then you were special. Congrats on the film.

[@gabrielkeenan]

Very sweet to have Eric talking a bit about him and his collection! Really enjoyed reading his articles on Hodinkee, but super cool that he now has one of the badassest jobs in the (modern) world of horology. PS my everyday watch is a seamaster 135.011, but his looks so damn good on a beads of rice! Definitely going to hunt a bracelet like that.

[@amintaslneto]

Great video and amazing vintage collection! Please keep it up.

[@lionele6183]

These are great, wish they were a little longer

[@billmedic1995]

Eric is such a knowledgable, kind guy. People making fun of his voice? Yeah, like he can help it. Put him to the test, and he knows more about vintage watches thank ANYONE here. And that's what we are here for. Take it in, people. This guys a true expert. Read his resume lol.

[@adam1910]

Id like to hear that beat with the drummer staying in the pocket. Two of my favorite passions drums and watches!

[@cedb7115]

Fantastic watch collection!

[@Jasongy827]

Besides him being a collector I love his insight into watches. He is an amazing character, when I first saw him on hondinkee with the speedmaster lineage video I was astound.

[@boncesca2590]

Great video and amazing collection. Wow.

[@slimetime2227]

Great collection!

[@jasonsusantyo]

Nice Job Eric! can't wait to see your Rolex again soon!!!

[@titancribbing3363]

This guy is a beauty!!

[@cyclepath78]

His voice sounds obscured, like he's in witness protection.

[@ericwind4651]

Thank you! :)

[@bighneshupadhyaya888]

sir , you are the first collector i have seen who has a gallet watch . why is it not as appreciated as other watches ?? the company has an immensely long history . . but i rarely see one being in the collection of any collector . . . .

[@sensei-lr4cj]

@@ericwind4651 yeah. I love the gallet as well

[@Crypto_369_Trader]

[@ronburgundy1653]

[@pharesa.3227]

[@rs0040970]

very nice collections Eric ... but i did't see the moonwatch there?

[@Laguna2013]

how fortuitous of a name for his profession

[@julianmcwey866]

that kid has a great swing

[@trevbarlow9719]

This guy is also the biggest Speedmaster geek ever!

[@bennycop]

I love the minimalist text on vintage watches, nowadays they write too much text on the dial

[@ginofornaro9197]

Does anyone know the reference of that lucien piccard luccard?

[@ericwind4651]

No real reference on this one. I have only seen one other, which we sold at Christie's: www.christies.com/lotfinder/Lot/hamilton-zodiac-and-lucien-piccard-a-lot-5973295-details.aspx

[@920decker]

Eric Wind still making some beats!

[@timdavey741]

who made the case for the Gallet?

[@Justinmzack]

Anyone who the reference numbers for the Omegas they show but don’t specifically talk about?

[@Bangkok.eye.automotive]

ERIC was that a Breitling SuperOcean you were wearing at the golf range? Pity you didn't have a chance to talk about it.

[@steinbeck1805]

This series is so much above “talking watches”, these days anyways. Are new instalments still being produced?

[@Jasongy827]

The Picard, man gorgeous only for 300!

[@bobbysebastian3709]

Boy 👦🏻 oh boy 👦🏻 Eric’s son is a prodigious golfer 🏌️

[@patrickpatton2954]

Excellent taste... his voice puts me to sleep faster than my noise machine. Still interesting though

[@tim2468]

The Heuer is insane. The Lucien Picard is insane. Cool collector!!! I do wish the interviewer would wear gloves though. Hate me for this comment, it's OK.

[@Jasongy827]

Tim Archer he has an amazing knowledge in timepieces I love his writing on hondinkee, anyways, his Lucien Picard is a stunner. Only for 300 a great great good.

[@lunam7249]

original, leave it alone....

[@beno2rasho]

He could easily have a career in voice overs .........

[@10399alex]

And today, we're talking wa-- uhh we're gonna get to know eric a little better....

[@paulruppert7784]

Seal of the United States of America, not "President or Vice President." They specifically state as such, as an addition to the Great Seal of the US....

[@timdavey741]
