best collection so far! funny how over a year later and these vintages shown in this guys collection are blowing up in popularity now among collectors! this guy was ahead of his time!
I have seen this video at least 8 to 10 times on different occasions, every time I watch it, I enjoy the versatile and wonderful collection Mr. Alan Maleh has, the colors the aesthetics, everything about this collection is awesome.
This is my favorite collection in the series and the guy I'd probably most enjoy a beer with. That blazer is pretty great.
This episode is by far my favorite I've seen. I like his taste. I'm an aesthetics person as well so I would say we have somewhat the same kind of taste. I liked his collection very much. The roulette dial really stood out to me!
I genuinely love the fact that he is actually wearing his watches !!! U can se scratches on the glass on the case, u can see passion! It’s not all about the idea of owning a watch but also WEARING IT living with it
I've watched almost all the episodes of talking watches now, and this is by far my favorite. His collection is truly diverse, incorporates very interesting aesthetic elements, and focuses on pieces that are genuinely accessible to a lot of people. Please, more like this!

its still the best. screw all the others.
I LOVE how beat up every piece is. This man wears and loves ever watch he owns.
This guy is the most "New York" ive ever seen.
I think it's funny when they're talking about the bubble back, Alan says, maybe wearing 'purple sweater, white shirt, army green pants', switch the pants to jacket and it is exactly what Ben is wearing. :P

+Josh An lols I made that obervation a few times. Glad someone else caught it. He projected via the one of the archetypal modern man, such as the host himself.
random people at my firm still look down on me for wearing a grand seiko spring drive...they didn't know it costs more than many swiss watches. now I need lexus LFA car to complement my watch.
"you can have style under a thousand dollars" this is a fucking surprise to some people? Seiko SARB, Melbourne Flinders, Orient Mako XL orange, Cobra De Calibre, Victorinox, Vostok, Sea-Gull, the list goes on and on and on and on... and only 2 of those were over 400 USD

Honestly. Yeah. I'm sure there are those who enter the hobby not knowing exactly what their doing. Some may not understand movement finishing and the whole "90% of the price goes into the last 10%" so it's an important point to make.

Collectors love obscure watches to show they are unique individuals. God forbid you wear a Victorinox.

I own a very elegant yet somewhat cheap Fossil. People still love to look at it, they tell me i'm a fool for wearing that in public because of the fear that it would be stolen. Although i only paid $200 for it. Plus it gives of many beautiful reflections which also catches people's eye. Point being, you don't have to pay for a Rolex, Patek, or a Audemars Piguet to get attention.

OfficialEpic222 I completely agree, i own a fossil and a seiko and people notice them and ask about them, always questioning the necessity of something that they think is expensive.
We need an episode with Ben showing off his collection.

Wei Koh did a 2 part series with Ben on the Revolution Watch channel.
Love to come back to this ep, best collection of watches ever on talking watches 🤩
the begining of this came on and my mom was like "YOURE watching 60 minutes?"
Great series, I love how diverse his collection is.
Thanks man I love the seriea of talking watches...
The Haste, Certina, and Heuer Monza are up my alley. Interesting collection.
Not sure this gentleman and I have the same taste in watches, but it's great seeing someone so passionate about them. Thanks for the video!
It's taken me a while to understand what Mr Maleh is all about, but I think I get him now. And although his aesthetics are not for everyone, he offers a compelling perspective on watches.

Yeah bro, me too, Mr. Maleh is all about that $$$ as all of these watches were (and maybe still are) posted for sale on his website.
Finally. A new episode. Love watch these guys geek out
Another interesting instalment. As valid as any other. He's a watch nut that collects what he likes. End of story. I enjoyed it.
All these watches were/are for sale on his magazine website lol

Many watch collectors also have the habit of "flipping" pieces to fund for and try new watches.

wow you are right, literally every single one of these watches is for sale on this guys site. I understand that many collectors flip to gather funds for a new purchase, but don't come on talking watches and say you have a connection to each and every watch. I entirely doubt the validity of his stories now. very surprised to see this happen actually, I know Ben is very genuine and I don't think he would be ok with this, I doubt he knew. because of this it is my least favorite episode.

And if you had bought that Certina you'd have a great ROI. Just saw one for sale for 3500. Also, almost every watch I've bought and sold I had a connection with, all I read here is people that don't want to spend a premium to not have to scour online for months or years even to find something special.
Love these episodes, that is such a cool collection!
For me, this collection was all about the enjoyment of wearing a watch every day. A beach watch, an outdoor watch, something hipster cool vintage and all with eye catching style.
this episode is a cut above many, I wish I owned his collection.
Really inspired me to look up some vintage watches. Your videos are the best.
He definitely likes his colour display. Stays impressive these Talking Watches Series! Amazing
I think that Mr. Alan Maleh has got some great colection of time peaces that makes the jaw slide down. I like each and every one of the watches, and it seems that he is in to colorfull watches. I wish I could have such a colection of my own. Respect.
Great series. Really love how you've done it.
Alan is a watch collectors, watch collector. Respect!
Excellent video. I love man's taste. I knew it right when I saw that he matched his suit with his beard and his tie with his hair.
This gentleman wears his watches. Many are vintage but, he is adding his own story to each piece. Very much enjoyed the video save the investment aspect.
More Talking Watches please! Keep up the fantastic work!
I really enjoy these episodes
Great taste and he makes no apologies for buying on his personal taste as opposed to some that don't seem to have such a passion. The others seem to be investment oriented, not true watch lovers. He buys based on a love for the beauty. He mentions a personal connection and the fun of having watches he loves.
i like that he took the alternative approach to collecting watches. his watch collection shows his unique style. some are cheaper and others are not. he was drawn to them all the same. the oriosa is a beautiful piece. i just looked up a similar one black and bronze. it might be mine if i get to it in time.

do you mean the Heuer? This was before the Tag part showed up and ruined the name of the brand. I'm not surprised he doesn't have any Tags in his collection
Most enjoyable overview of his collection.
''Im purely aesthetics driven, thats why I have some watches here that are under a 1000 dollars!''.... as I weep into my Ramen.
Keep coming back to Alan’s collection.
He wears a watch thats under a thousand hope he doesn't get confused for a homeless man.

Genius. A man after my own heart you are.
Colourful and classy collection.
Absolutely beautiful collection. Great taste!
love his personality, he is just a interesting person, not caring the cost or luxuriousness of it
I thought he was a fun and upbeat interview. It was cool to hear how he collects his watches to taylor his outfits.
Such an amazing collection!
This guy's collection has the most soul out of all the guys in this series. Great collection.
Love that omega and the heure oriosa sensational haste amazing certina wow great collection
I just love the watches, especially the one's under 1000 dollars. Great taste.
Really liked this one! Great collection. Bit to colorful for me... but I guess that’s the sunny weather over there ;)
Love these videos. Keep it up!
Can anybody give me an information about maxima watch,I can't find anything on the internet.

My favorite episode
Curious to know which vintage Longines is in his collection.
Great Video! It's awesome to see that he owns hundred dollar watches and more expensive pieces as well. This is what it's about, what YOU want to collect. I own a few vintage watches, paid anywhere from $100-$180 and I feel like a million bucks when I wear them. Someday average joe me can hopefully get a hold of a nice Speedmaster or Roley.
I love his sport coat with the elbow pads and buttons
best episode yet! excellent pieces with style yet affordable and all totally individualistic
He loves red, blue and white. Throw those colours in and he'll say it's aesthetically beautiful. LOL.
Nice little shout out to my home town of Spitalfields, great to in his accent
a fan of eveything. this guys is probly the best so far
What amazing taste..
Phenomenal collection theyre all unique but versatile. The bezel on that GMT is crazy, it turned into a 'millennial' color palette!
Beautiful collection
cool dude. cool collection.
What a cool collection!
Who is the carefree brother in the background at the start of the video? 🤣🤣🤣😎 Without a care in the world, time is the last thing on his mind... only wondering what is on his wrist or collection. This episode is timely timeless!
Every watch video i see people have the same old watches, nice to see he's got a few different pieces. I personally think a seiko of some sort should be in everyones collection wether it be baby tuna, tuna, darth tuna, sarb,stargate,orange monster,titanium samurai,grand seiko,flightmaster the list is endless or if you want vintage, bullheads,bellmatic's,sealions or the humble 5
It's about time for another episode lol
One of the best TW’s
Great guy, great watches!
pleasantly surprised! beautiful collection with great dial porn! Was expecting to see a totally different collection.
Beautiful watches. Nuff said
Cool video, however, it's not really his collection though, but merely the products he sells In his web store. And even then, the watches are very overpriced.

Welcome back to talking Paul Newmans, I’m Ben Clymer and today we’re going into an interesting and varied collection of brands including Rolex, Rolex and Rolex.
Videos are always great but sheesh that music doe
This video was the reason vintage Divers from the 70's went up in value on 2014
I really congratulate that guy to follow his own taste, gz man.
Glad I’m not the only person addicted to chronographs.
a true watch lover
Update! We need version 2!
I like this guy.

Alan Maleh is an extraordinary man with a wealth of knowledge on many fascinating subjects----in this case, it's watches. I loved this interview of Maleh by Benjamin Clymer.
I love my $2 watches
his voice make me want to clear my throat haha...
Best collection goes too.....
