Yup that was a nice ad for the new Kith-TAG collab, it almost looked like it wasn't... almost

The real question is did LVMH pay for this talking watches or did you do it for free since they are part owner?

I watched this last week and thought what a great interview. Little did I know this was just a stupid ADVERTISEMENT for the Tag watches. You used to be better than this and more authentic.

But the fact that they have resorted to this and that many significant staff leaving just goes to show the health of this business. Just stay in your lane when you can't see the obvious.

As a Vitality member and long time reader of Hodinkee, this video made me very happy.

I can't tell you how long I've waited for this, Ronnie has always kept some serious quality watches on his wrist, for years. So much so that its ads to his lore and his specific sensibilities of quality, simply can not be denied. It's taken him entirely too long to sit down to talk about these sensibilities with regard watches. I'm glad we're here now.

This is a great collector focused video and I appreciate the way he collects.

My favorite TW so far. KITH X Hodinkee X UNIMATIC. Make it happen!

Maybe I’m just boring but the sunglasses indoors are really bothering me ngl, mainly because in a lot of the shots at least on my tiny phone screen you can’t see his eyes too well, makes story telling feel less idk genuine

A genuine watch collector with excellent taste - in the John Mayer style ……. Brilliant

Great stuff!

just another advert now. i want to say i expected more but meh.

Nice! Mike Tyson said Kith was his favorite band

I love when talking watches intersects with founder talk 🔥

Loved this episode, great guy and amazing collection!!

21:21 the most intense and confrontational moment in the history of Talking Watches. Ben Clymer is saying VC is of the old money aura, which ain’t you Ronnie! 😂 Btw: Ronnie is an awesome and accomplished person; my hats off to him.

He brought some real heat.

Cool episode. I’m a bit surprised at the build quality of that Vacheron.

I’ve been saying the same thing about only being interested in watches with integrated bracelets/straps!!

Hodinkee should do a Ben's collection video

I wonder if he will buy the new Vacheron with the green dial? It’s stunning. I also didn’t know Vacheron is for senior citizens? LOL

Love the VCs and the Aquanauts...

One of the best Hodinkee Videos for me!! Thank you!

Ben must have been smitten when Ronnie said his dream car is the M1 (Ben has one in a gorgeous dark blue).

Really rooting for Hodinkee to pull through the rough patch they got themselves in with the whole Crown & Caliber thing & growing too much too fast. LOVED Hodinkee when it was a skeleton crew 6 years ago. Hopefully Ben can right the ship. I’m even letting the ads play all the way through so YT has to pay up more 😂

More style trendsetters please! Like Teddy Santis from ALD, Pharrell who now works w/ LV, Brendon from Noah. So many options big and small

salute your productivity Hodinkee

Man has taste! 👏

Ronnie is the goat. Can’t wait to watch!

This guy may have been born in Queens, but he stopped being from New York a long time ago.

1500 bucks for a plastic quartz watch is hilarious

What sunglasses is Ronnie wearing ?

When it comes to products, there are some exceptional ones that change the experience forever, whatever the path of life, furniture, car, pillow, shoes etc. Back in 2016 I bought asics gel v. Since then, I've owned maybe 8 of them. People keep asking, why do I wear the same runners and my answer is genuine, they're the most comfortable I've ever wore so why to change? As my search for these continued, I came across expensive ones with THIS MANS name attached and I wondered who is he. Thanks hodinkee- now, not only i know who he is, I also share he's passion for product, fine product

His reaction on "collections like this" 🤣 The guy knows deep down his collection is like his own brand

Cool Dude 🤙

I was sort of not rich growing up, but was gifted a watch that 99.9999% of kids would never get. Then I worked and things really went well for me. I made promotions, made more money, got into business,. Voila, I obtained Rolexes, Patek's, and then AP's and VC's within 10 years. I celebrated every success with first great watch buys in NY, then Paris, London, Boise, and Katmandu. It was amazing! But I keep to my roots and traditions by collecting $50 sneakers along with my 150K watches. My friends tell me I'm an inspiring person. Why this emptiness?

I’m with him on the point about integrated straps/bracelets. I think Rolex integrates their bracelets very nicely, good example is the jubilee end links.

My first time seeing Ronnie. Going to get into more of his ventures. Seems like a really cool guy

Still has on the ascot that he was wearing while applying lacquer finish to his burl-walnut trim on his Boston Whaler.

El verdadero valor de algo está en el gran recuerdo de una época nostálgica creo que el mejor de todos el F1 qué bonito recuerdo para usted
