Mayer is an great guest. I really didn't expect him to be. He's eloquent, yet can crack a joke and be silly occasionally. The whole video had a nice relaxed vibe about it, which is not often the case with some hodinkee editors who seem very uptight and snobby.

Love John Mayer, he's very entertaining. You guys need to have him on there more often.

John's knowledge on watches is underrated. He's one of the most intelligent watch enthusiasts out there and not usually thought of as a guy of this level of cognition.

John Mayer does the most fascinating videos, always a treat.

IWC is really a rare-breed in the sense that they've dedicated themselves to a craft that has waned in purpose. Pilot watches are perhaps as pragmatic as watches will ever be, designed to be a tool and only encompassing aesthetics to aid its purpose. But here we are, in 2016, when flying is less of an experience without on-board wifi, and quite frankly those(most) who buy Big Pilots today buy for solely its looks. As John said, Patek may have its own artistic beauty, but what's really great about the Big Pilot is its beauty in mere pragmatism.

Same thing happened with dive watches, which generally have been supplanted by dive computers and bottom timers (and honestly who needs to know the day at 300m)? It's looks, and not pure practicality or else they'd have atomic or quartz movements.

I love this interview - the passion here is incredible. This makes me love my watches even more + the fact that JM's 5002 has some dings in it. It has clearly been worn and used. That is how watches should be!.

Love the Hodinkee of old. John knows his IWC Big Pilot history.

Given the extensive and tasteful (to say the least) nature of JM's watch collection and knowledge, this should definitely be a regular series of some kind on Hodinkee.

Love to hear JM observations on cool watches. He clearly appreciates the craft and history of these fine pieces.

I'm a big fan of both watches and John Mayer's music. Love this man

There is nothing better than listening to John Mayer talk about watches. It’s priceless… bring em back to ramble on plz

Not a big pilot fan but I really enjoyed watching this. Simply good and effortless taste.

Truly a beautiful video. Absolutely fantastic conversation

Big pilot has always been one of my favourite timepiece

See this is what KZread is all about. I don't like John Mayer, and I don't like IWC. But I like watches and this is a killer video to the first version. Loved it.

Bought my last year. Had been watching it since 2010. Big part was watching this video a bunch. Hope John got his watches back.

Still watching this because it inspires me!!

I just realized that the triangle with the two circles that's at the 12 o clock spot on the watch is the same as the inlay in his Martin OM-28 JM signature acoustic guitar. Makes perfect sense!

Seeing John in the Big Pilot while in college made me buy a Poljot Russian Aviator. Clearly we have different buying power, but that manual wind, 17 jewel carbon fiber strap has been on my wrist 2-3 days a week since (with Mayer playing in the background...)

Lots of fun and fascinating video.

I just bought my first proper watch today, the IWC Mark XVIII. Super excited to finally own one.

what a great presentation!

The perpetual calendar is a beauty. Very functional yet intriguing.

This video really got me. I saw it yesterday, today I ordered my Stowa Flieger.

Haven't seen it, clicked the like button already!

Here I was hoping to see an updated collection :/

I'm loving these interviews especially with Jean-Claude Biver! The passion shines through in them all, so nice vibe and all... Keep on keeping on! 😈 🏇

Grail list has just increased by +1. Thanks to this video I want a 5002!! And that gang face-off analogy perfectly sums it up

I see why his songs are so well appreciated. He can speak correctly, using the correct terms to describe his feelings about their watches.

If you want to know what a true watch enthusiast or collector is, just watch Mr Mayer. True gentleman and very humble.

Loved it need more episodes

Always a great video!

The one with the blue dial really takes the cake! what a stunner!

Quickest 14 mins of my life. I love Mayers enthusiasm, vocabulary and overwhelming watch knowledge. I also love his music. He’s cool as fck.

Very cool. Great vid folks!!

ask him about his vintage Rolex collection !!!!!

Mayer's hair looks like the IWC knob. lol. (no diss intended!)

Really enjoyed this! Love IWC! I miss my Doppel !

Another great video you two!

Excellent video! Hodinkee should really post more vids!

I hope they catch the guys who stole his watches....he seems such a sincere guy.

John Mayer is such a thoughtful individual, about everything. That last analogy about the gangs is brilliant. Go watch his interview with Jerry Lorenzo, founder of Fear of God.

once again wonderful interview guys, he's quite a dude

Great video love JMayer had some good tunes

Was very surprising to me that he knows all of this history and yet didn't know the process to achieve blued hands! At any rate, this was an awesome episode and John is an amazing guest. Makes me very happy to know he is a watch nut :)
