Watches of US Presidents Part II (Trump, Clinton, LBJ, & More)

[@bluetickhound16]

Thank you, thank you. THANK YOU for not doing what everyone else who does a video concerning US Presidents always seem to do... no snide jabs or any indication whatsoever of political lean. Well done!

[@TeddyBaldassarre]

We are talking watches here not politics! Appreciate it man!

[@publiusvelocitor4668]

Agree- it makes the video more professional. Well done on all the research too- I never knew Trump bought Reagan's watch. It's a real piece of history now. If it ever gets sold or comes up for auction again, it will be pretty much the sky's the limit!

[@twentysixand6228]

Agreed. This isn't the time or place to call them all idiots!

[@MKH-hq5eu]

That's exactly what I was thinking! Truly a professional!

I remember people were saying how Seiko lost an opportunity when shinzo Abe, prime minister of Japan, wore an omega constellation during a promo of the 2020 Tokyo Olympic games at the end of the Rio games. Seiko didn't lose an opportunity. He was required to wear it because Omega is the official timekeeper of the Olympic games. He was not allowed to wear his Seiko watches. Kinda off topic but this video brought up that topic.

[@TeddyBaldassarre]

Really interesting. I was going to feature him in the world leaders video. I have to highlight him soon!

[@mt24Carson]

Great story, makes sense. Thanks for sharing.

[@aahchoo1]

By what right does the Swatch Group give orders to the Japanese prime minister, who is supposed to represent the people and ancient nation of Japan ??? Good God.

[@tonywong8134]

@@aahchoo1 I don't blame Swatch...I would do it too. At least he wore my favorite Omega. It makes sense. Omega paid a ton of money to be the official timekeeper of the Olympics. Their logo is plastered everywhere in each Olympic stadium...seen by billions of people...that is not cheap. Additionally, the only watch commercials during the Olympics are Omega. Imagine if Nike paid the producers of Back to the Future to have their product featured and then as a promo for the sequel Marty McFly ditched his Air Mags and worst Boost...it wouldn't make sense. It's just marketing. Shinzo owns several Omega watches on his own anyways. Though I think he much prefers Seiko since he owns a ton of models and wears them the most frequently.

[@michaelbishop9157]

typical Omega behaviour

[@ankitnauwag9873]

you should do a video on military field watches, those actually worn by soldiers on battle.

[@TeddyBaldassarre]

I’m working on something very similar to this!

[@aschulte91]

@@TeddyBaldassarre Most people in the military I know, wear Casio or g shocks, or a smart watch like apple or Samsung. A battery and digital display is a lot easier to take care of, cheaper, a bit more durable, and has more functionality than normal watches.

[@heikopanzlaff3789]

@@TeddyBaldassarre Have the complete collection of German Air Force - watches from 1955 until today : Hanhart, Junghans J88, Heuer 1550 SG Arctos, Orfina PD and Tutima Nato all with NSN`s and original straps.

[@jfm562]

I agree that's a great idea.

[@NapoleonGelignite]

Alex - lies. No military person in a combat zone would want an iWatch. Serious operator/military is all G-shocks and expensive shit (e.g. Rolex or Breitling Emergency).

[@dougsfavorites2578]

I think the most famous watch that Obama wore was the JG6500 Commemorative Edition - Jorg Gray, given to him by the Secret Service. He was always see wearing it and at the end of his presidency, he toured the Shinola Watch Factory to promote American made products and started wearing one.

[@BottledCourage]

Man that Universal Geneve of Truman is too cool!

[@MrPleers]

Agreed. My favourite in this video. Just looks so classy.

[@wade5011]

I'd love to hear some Vulcain watches in a video on presidents. There were several presidents that wore them and they have one specifically titled for it. Great video as always!

[@mt24Carson]

Cool story re POTUS 45 and 40 watch connection, was not aware. Another good video Teddy.

[@TeddyBaldassarre]

It was very cool to learn that. I wish trump would wear that baby around!

[@AbdulRWatches]

Really cool video,keep up the good work Teddy. I would suggest also a video for watches worn by watch makers CEOs :)

[@travis6738]

You're the only watch youtuber I can stand.

[@AnthonyBoettcher24]

Maybe look into tech geniuses and what watches they prefer. I know Steve Jobs loved Seiko and Bill Gates regularly wears a Casio

[@internettroll7497]

Seconded

[@barreltech8949]

Bill Clinton made the switch from timex to Shinola, pretty cool

$7000?! WTF? The Donald knows how to get the good deals.

[@TeddyBaldassarre]

Seems like a steal to me!

[@TheProrage509]

Of course he does he’s a frickin business man

[@doodskie999]

Just a small change for a small loan of a million dollars

[@luccardi.]

Randy Ramzinski 7000 was a lot more back in those days, but it is still a great deal

[@randyramzinski1602]

Lala, even back then, $7000 to the crowd who participates in those kind of auctions, was chump change. With Reagan's death and his positive legacy plus the fact that it was owned by Trump too, that watch is now priceless.

[@waltersickinger263]

Potsdam.....not Postdam ......duh

[@flippinzippo9670]

Id love to see Clintons real collection

[@TeddyBaldassarre]

He started wearing higher end pieces once he left office. I definitely could do one on him as well as many other presidents.

[@julianmuller9567]

...meaning the collection of women he's slept with

[@diegoog3654]

I bet he has quite a few "safe queens". I mean, I myself wear beaters to business meetings sometimes. I find it easier to negotiate (especially with mid-management) without a F*** off piece on my wrist.

[@ashishpatel350]

Be careful you'll end up Mossaded

[@knight2472000]

Teddy Baldassarre he wore the cheap timex for political reasons. He wanted to come off as a man of the people. Once out of office he wore the real watches. Don’t admire him for conning people ha

[@jacc88888]

Really enjoying these themes you are doing. Fascinating video. Thanks. Ps love that Universal Geneve!!

[@philliphull50]

Great Britain was represented by Clement Attlee in Potsdam,Churchill was not the Prime Minister at the time

[@KillierElite]

This is awesome, I’m glad I found this channel... president Obama was also given a watch as a gift, it was a jorg gray given by the secret service? Is that just what is given to a newly elected president?

[@mgtowp.l.7756]

[@bigblackjeffery842]

It'd be cool to see the pocket watches aswell.

[@thedom1678]

I always thought that President Ronald Regan had a Corum $20 gold piece watch with a black croc band. Maybe it was the salesman that told me when I was buying mine. It sealed the deal for me.

[@Sno1388]

[@Jacckeyy]

[@JO-ly3hi]

My watch collection has Navivorces, Timexes, Armitrons, Casios, Diesels, Fossils, Invictas, Seikos, and Tissots...that's about as "high-end" as I get...but I love them all for different reasons and don't care what other's think.

[@michaelcosgrave8967]

How about a video, or series of videos, on iconic calibers? You could go far back and describe some older, fundamental ones and then work your way through the decades to more modern ones. Another related idea might be to spend time on one movement and really explain how it works in detail and why it’s special.

How about the Vulcain Cricket? That should be considered the real Prez watch, since it’s been given to every Prez since Truman.

Moving forward with the American tradition, I think a modern look at American watch brands would be really interesting, between the intricately hand made of Keaton Myrick, thefully in-house makers like Weiss, or rgm to the assemblers like Hager, kobold, oak and Oscar, shinola, martenero, heitis, Detroit watch company, and others

[@TeddyBaldassarre]

Love the idea Alex

[@holeeshi9959]

3:53....Hublot Classic Fusion?

[@Djarra]

I was in New York in 2005, less than a year after Reagan died, the watch was in the display case in Trump Towers along with a photo of Trump with Ronald and Nancy and a small flag to commemorate his passing. Although this was located right near the gents toilet which didn't seem the most respectful location.

[@kingofthejungle3833]

If you haven't already can you run a video (or few) on pocket watches, the best to buy, the most affordable high quality, maybe even some famous owners thereof

[@SFVYachtClub]

Bill's Ironman looked way cooler than Dubya's dorky old Weekender tho you have to give him that

[@davidj180]

I’d be curious to see a video about the origins of the Mickey Mouse watch. And which ones are valuable by whom, etc. were they all junk or were any decent watches.

[@throdenday8653]

I mean you didnt feature any of the watches president trump wears.....

[@psidvicious]

Interesting backstory about Reagan’s watch. I’d never heard that before. Auctioned off for $7K? Wow! That was a bargain for sure. I could see that easily being $100K++ today, just for the provenance of the owners.

[@ianboard544]

Trump's dress watch came as a surprise to me - the Vacheron Constantin Ultra Fine 1968 is one of the most tasteful watches I've seen.

[@JohnConnor12]

I'd pay Donald 8k for Ronald's watch.

[@joshhagan4816]

Winston churchill was not at the confrence, he had been replaced in the election! Still a good video btw

[@lordcharfield4529]

Thank you for this and thank you very much for remaining neutral and even handed in your treatment of the presidents. A wise thing to do in an age of hyper partisan hysteria!

[@JJexciter]

It would be cool if there was one unique presidential watch. A watch passed from one President to the next. Question is...what watch would that be?

[@TeddyBaldassarre]

Not quite what you’re talking about here but the vulcain cricket is one of those watches that has been owned by countless presidents. Of course, not the same one but still.

[@JJexciter]

Oh, that’s cool. I didn’t know that! I guess what I mean is, it ‘would’ be cool if there was one watch that was passed ceremoniously from President to President. One single watch that would stand the test of time and be worn by every president. That would be a trip! And it would be interesting to see which watch would be honored to be THE ONE.

[@Parocha]

@@JJexciter nice concept. In half jest, I'd have to vote for a sundial. It's the only timepiece that would truly stand the test of time, and be equally accurate on day one as on day 100.000 😂

[@misterbobo8139]

Wouldn’t touch Obozo’s watch. No telling where that watch has been, knowing Bathhouse Barry’s escapades.

[@user-ms6ws7rl8u]

Nobody uses old fashioned watches any more if they have cell phones

[@Ruchiran1]

Please do a video about Titan watches

[@thelongslowgoodbye]

I would have thought that the Vulcain Cricket would have been the most popular presidential watch.

[@xtusvincit5230]

Postdam is pronounced Pots-dam. Just like pots and pans, and a dam that holds back water.

[@ant7936]

Dubya? Plus Timex? He could tell the time? 😅😂😅😂

[@Kahuna_550]

Videos starts at 0:40.

[@syndicatedsatellite7288]

Watch cases could be made out of a foam rubber, polyurethane... We could invent one, apply for a patent pending... Then make videos about it... Sell the cases in volume for a small profit to help out all watch collecters.

[@boxsterh]

Two ideas for videos in the same vein; watches in movies and athletes and their watches.

[@mrk131324]

Again no mention of any Vulcain. Why? Personal reasons?

[@TeddyBaldassarre]

Just thought the other watches had more compelling stories attached to them and I think there is opportunity to do a video all about them in the future since multiple presidents wore them.

[@stevenholmes4339]

Presently vulcain is owned by saudi national

[@substrate001]

I LOVED my Ironman! Left it on my frikkin roof while changing in the woods for a LOOONG drive home after 8 hours of mountain biking... Was 3 hours down the road when I realized it; made a detour off the interstate to Wal-Mart and got whatever the best one they had at the time was, lol. I think it was 1996... Great vid, BTW!

[@tobiasrottenbach1769]

Very cool, that 2 presidents were wearing Timex watches. And pope Franciscus is sometimes wearing a Swatch, I think.

[@TeddyBaldassarre]

You are right. He wears swatches and casios

[@loafywolfy]

Brazil's president wears a 5$ G-Shock knock-off :D he was a paratrooper at the army so its not a surprise that he favours durable and disposable watches.

[@JJexciter]

What’s interesting about the last watch on the video, (regardless of if you love or hate Trump) is that it’s one watch, the same watch, owned by 2 US Presidents. Which I don’t think has ever happened before. I wonder what the value on that one will be one day?

[@TeddyBaldassarre]

I’m sure there are. A lot of the world’s most wealthy people live more modest lives than we suspect

[@FRGMNTD]

More recently Clinton was still wearing a budget digital, not sure if it was the Timex, when promoting his recent book in the UK. I thought it funny that the former President was wearing that while the BBC arts correspondent had a Rolex president on.

[@timhuffman5311]

What about Kennedys tank watch.

[@gwimmer98]

Christian from Theo and Harris pointed out that Clinton started to wear much more expensive watches as soon as he got out of office. That can be interpreted as a bit of insincerity, because it showed that those expensive watches were the ones he actually wanted to wear. Edit: now the Reagan watch has been owned by two presidents. How many watches can compete with that?

[@TeddyBaldassarre]

I read that as well. Clinton started getting spotted with more expensive pieces after leaving office for sure.
