Mr Aurel Bacs Recommends Six Vintage Watches | MR PORTER
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Mr Aurel Bacs, the man who brought the gavel down on the world’s most expensive wristwatch in 2017, talks us through six of his favourite timepieces going under the hammer next week in NYC. On 5 December, he will return to Phillips auction house alongside MR PORTER and our friends at The Rake in New York to present Styled: Timeless Collectors’ Watches And How To Wear Them, a first-of-its-kind auction that unites the worlds of collectors’ watches and men’s style.
As you’d expect from one of the watch market's most influential tastemakers, his selection hit all the right notes in terms of desirability, uniqueness and investment potential; perhaps more pertinently, though, the watches he chose were wearable across a wide range of scenarios. Which, ultimately, is what Styled is all about.

@@lkkjhtemmexv1838 Thats a pretty ignorant thing to say. Some people buy it as a status symbol, and not due to some lack of intelligence as you so foolishly believe. People that love watches buy it for the remarkable craftsmanship of the watch.
Only me or are the shots of the watches artsy but useless? You're SHOWCASING watches, I can't see them!

He is a criminal who has sold numerous fake watches…
Honestly from a snobby filmmaker's POV I think Mr Porter changed directors for their videos. They just aren't involving anymore. This video doesn't even show straight on shots of the watches or the watches on the wrist which is a big oversight, imo. The video consists merely of slider shots on the subject, a few pans across the watches and, inexplicably, the subject walking around town. Mr. Porter please rehire your old video production team.

It's deliberate. They know the watches don't look super impressive as a whole, so they just show bits at a time and let your imagination take care of the rest
Not just product introduction, but also the story and of course the story teller that make this video amazing
Clearly the person running the camera has no idea how to cover watches. None of the watches has a full shot of the face, they were all weird angles which made identifying the exactly reference impossible

They are promoting Aurel as a luxury auctioneer and are using the brands to increase his credibility. This is not about the watches, is about him. Tricky stuff. To give you some background, the LVMH group are pushing volumes on the market and are needing “Independent, credible auctioneers” to push the idea of the watch as an investment to the young generation. Sponsor of this is Biver, if you research this you will understand the connections.
I could listen all my life this guy and never get borred.
I haven't had a watch for years however.......I became tired of looking at cell phones for the time. Last month I was in Walmart and saw an assembled group of watched on sale...from $35...down to $2.50. I bought 4 and I love them....really!
The filming and editing of this video is absolute perfection.
More videos with Aurel please
Never had a watch on my arm ever in my life. This guy makes me want to do it

Beautifully crafted video
Mr. Bacs is, in my opinion, the world's greatest watch expert. He's so knowledgeable and passionate about fine horology.
Wish someday, I will buy watches from you! I'm coming to that vibrations soon. These type of videos make me feel WE DON"T HAVE RIGHT to sit and rest until you can sit while your money works for you! Thank you!
Thank you for finally upping the production value. Shots look just as amazing as the watches.
So well spoken! Well done Sir
Amazing content Mr. P, and Mr. Baccs is a great personality.
Beautiful pieces!
Awesome collection of watches 🔥🔥 love watches with a story
A real confidential collection! You have my congratulations and those of my father.

One of my most favorite vintage is Omega Constellation Pie Pan Ref. 168.005
Magical story from this Guy ...
I have all of those models, took me 5 years actually to find the perfect models, im glad to hear mr bacs talk about this, sorry about my guido account its just for fun.
Great video. The dsy-date is a beautiful watch.
Beautiful.
I’m only 6 mins in, but he’s shown a modern Rolex, a modern FPJ (by definition), and a modern Nautilus. How is this title even close to being accurate?

Can you get any closer shots of the watch..cause i only wanted to see a forth of it.
His personality is so intense that if it came out that he’s a mafia boss that has personally executed people I really wouldn’t be surprised.
Was this film audio only as couldn’t see it at all?
Can anyone tell me the name of the piano background music, please?
Does anyone know the music of the video?
Wow Great Video, Im disappointed the ultraman didn't get a better shot. Its a beast of a watch.

He described a watch as “charming, captivating , masculine and sometimes sexy”, Interesting 😀
Motivated!
I always come here to get inspired. Hope some day you and me will be able to afford this kinds of watches
thank you sir aurel .. to try it the first time i will buy a q & q
Love that UltraMan Omega
I am so delighted knowing AP, Hublot, RM are not in the list
I'm not into the rolex watches, they look almost the same to me,however. This one is a very beautiful piece.

Besides the prestige and recognition they have, Rolex watches hold their value more than any other watch brand in the world.
This is a little nugget a treasure of information about a subject of which I am totally ignorant.
Excellent review, thanks for sharing
Watch dealers have pumped the "vintage" watch market to a degree where even late 90´s and early 00´s Rolex watches are now considered "vintage"! Please be aware that most of the "likes" given to watch dealer posts on Instagram from followers are from OTHER watch dealers to make sure that potential buyers pull the trigger and buy regardless of the quality, condition and originality of the watches. The method is primarily used on posts from expensive vintage watch dealers (especially Rolex dealers) since the market of watches in "perfect, original condition" has dried up due to hype caused by Hodinkee and other big KZread influencers. Now vintage Rolex dealers try to push more doubtful and heavily worn pieces to customers with service dials, hands, service glass and bracelets but still priced the same as for the perfect ones. Also remember that Rolex has produced hundreds of millions of watches since the 50´s and that there is no such thing as a rare Rolex watch, ONLY a few Rolex models which are RARELY put for sale. Even the most "rare" Rolexes, i.e. the Paul Newman Rolex Daytona were produced by the tens of thousands! And don´t forget that the millenials and the younger generations in general did´nt grow up with a wrist watch and have no sentimental, historical or personal attachment to watches at all, and that THESE are the potential buyers to the millions of overpriced old wrist watches on the market in the future. I have a huge network within teenagers in Scandinavia due to my work within athletics on high schools and I have never met a 14-19 year old teenager who wore a mechanical watch or showed ANY interest in my new or vintage Rolexes bought when they were extremely cheap only 15 years ago! Approx 10 % of todays teenagers wears an Apple watch and nothing else. So good luck selling your overpriced vintage watches in the future!
The Ultraman story was fun! :)
I watched this video 3 years ago and i have 8 watches now not so much as many of you guys but i have mine with all the great story i can say that this video made me want to own a watch lol
A true connoisseur
At 3:16, the numerals on the nautilus at 4 o'clock would drive me bonkers... especially at that price

And that is a man with a refined taste, no fancy watches with diamonds that cost hundred of thousands of dollars. My only complaint of the video as others commented, the weird angles of the watches. I could not see them well.
Love being recommended a bunch of watches that I'm never going to be anywhere near. The first off the line Patek? That's not a recommendation.
Wonderful explanation on the Omega Speedmaster Ultraman, I still can't understand why anyone would spend cash on this masterpiece.

At This Point I am interrested to see Nico Leonard (A Watch Expert) Do A reaction video Of Mr Aurel Bacs Watch Collection or Even Better Nico's Point of view of Aurel Bacs, purely because the majority of Nico Leonard he's videos are kind of roasting ones others watches. But this could be actually fascinating I recon.
This man is class..and the accent
This really is the height of snobbery. I love it! I come back to this video every now and then, to enjoy and lean back while thinking about how fucking stupid and tasteless everyone else around me is. And feel much better for it. Regards, G.
Bummer that we just got a small glimpse of the watches and the damn lighting kept making it hard to see.
Aurel is like a fine wine.

For the price of that second Rolex, you could get TWO Patek Philippe 3448s... I think either bet would be a good investment.
Can anybody name the piano music in the background?
can they hold the camera still for once?!?
What I would like to know is how does this guy smell, next time do a video of his favorite fragrances, ok?
I am lucky to own a collection valued at over $1,000.000.My kids think I'm mad.They tell me I can find the time on my phone.🤔 They don't get it at all.Love watches.
Rock diamonds on day date or no?
I'm still watching this cuz I'm flexing on a 10$ casio that tells me the day and date.
3:44 why was it ticking
The ref number for the Rolex is 18206 NOT 18026...
Wow
great watches, but you can't really see them in the video
