Watches In The Wild | The Road Through America, Ep. 4: California Collecting Culture Part II
Ойын-сауық
For the final episode of Watches in the Wild: The Road Through America, Cole and James are leaving Los Angeles in the rear view and heading up the coast. They're after a bit of adventure, some killer views, and a chance to hang with a handful of collectors who represent the breadth and personality of West Coast watch culture.
We hope you've enjoyed The Road Through America as much as we enjoyed making it. The goal was to discover the heart of the current zeitgeist surrounding watch collecting on America's two often disparate coasts. From the old-world vibes of the Northeast, where watchmaking in America first took hold to the casual and sun-soaked coast of California, we discovered an endless appetite for all things watches and a deeply-seated understanding of the role watches play in American culture old and new.

this is the hodinkee content we want
This series has single handedly brought my fandom back to hodinkee
Man I could watch a whole series on Asha and her watches! Diving, training, firefighting, etc.

Such a great story. Individuals like this make you want to explore new hobbies and watches.
Hodinkee going in the right direction with this series
Hodinkee is having a great redemption arc right now. Keep up the fantastic work on the youtube channel.
Rene was my neighbor growing up! Such an interesting guy and the reason I’m into watches.
Welcome to the Bay Area… You got the initiation…sadly enough. But, I’m glad Eric was able to re-do his segment for you guys. He always has interesting stuff to talk about!
Literally every one of Asha’s watches are ones I’d buy in a heartbeat. Lady has incredible taste.
We really need another talking watches episode with Eric Ku !
Asha’s collection is one of the best (IMO) because it’s a beautiful balance of uniqueness, creativity, personal experience and identity. So rad!
What an amazing series. We got a quality education from the stories you captured and a new respect for the horological history of America. Thank you!
Asha Wagner has to be the coolest interview and poignant collection on all Hodinkee channels!
The series itself is so cool, but this episode is absolutely amazing! Unexcited, but so informative. And also very special and likeable people like Asha Wagner! Thank you Cole and James. Things like this brings me back to Hodinkee.
René Rondeau is a gem. Not only with his depth of knowledge, fine service, but also in holding many a neophyte hand as they braved the unknown. I have several Electrics and am truly grateful for René's kindness along the path.
To my mind, this is the best content Hodinkee has ever produced.
I follow asha online and love and respect what she does. Love her collection 100% Really enjoyed the series and hope to see more.
Great series. Enjoyed it a lot. Thank everyone involved in making this happen.
Well. This was truely a great experience for me. We can never forget where we came from. In todays throw away society and the mentality of many it’s content like this that makes me think we’ll get back to being people that appreciate local manufacturing and what it means to be able to service/repair and retain rather than replace. Great jarrrb here Hodinkee.
Need a series like this on forgotten European brands
Absolutely Amazing series. My faith in Hodinkee is restored. Thank You👍
I love this series. I'm learning a lot... Sorry to hear about you guys experiencing the ugly part of our beautiful Bay Area.
Great to see William Wood get a mention!
The Rolex Thunderbird is one of my favourite watches of all time. What a watch
Amazing series. Would love to see another Chapter of Watches in the Wild!
Incredible series. Thank you, thank you and thank you.
A very earthbound collection a welcome change
Asha is so cool!!
A collection of proper tool watches that are actually worn on the job. Way to go
A fantastic series! Thanks for putting it together.
That ZRC is so cool! The bezel on the Trans Continental looks like a first attempt at a GMT function.
Beautiful series I really enjoyed this laidback approach to watches one of the best series since the first talking watches, a big well done guys And many thanks From uk enthusiast 😄👍🏼
Great episode & great series in general! Thank you!
This series is the best thing Hodinkee has ever done. Get rid of all staff that are not contributing towards this authenticity. The money will follow if you don’t chase it!
Much more content like this HODINKEE. Great job gents!
OUTSTANDING episode in every way!!
Amazing series. Please - do not stop.
Great series, many thanks! And welcome to Finland for the next one!
So well done. Thank you.
These videos are amazing! Hearing everyone’s story makes you want to take bits and pieces of their collection and add to your own. Keep these coming!
What an amazing episode!
Beautiful material! Congratulations Hodinkee!
Great collections from everyone

Absolutely amazing series, please continue this. Let’s see where the road takes us.
More series 🎉❤
What a great series. Production value was terrific as well as the content. Hope more our planned😊
Is it wrong to love watches so? Meaning so so much. Really enjoyed your journey, thanks for taking us along....
great🎉
I wouldn't call it across America so much as on the edges of America. I really liked the miniseries but would love to see it dive into watch culture across all of America and also dip into some of the less haughty upstart brands like Nodus, Vaer, Lorier, Shinola, Detroit Watch Co., etc. I find the heavy hitters like RGM fascinating but we as "watchers" really bite off on the stories behind our favorite pieces whether they be stories from the brands or stories from badasses like Asha who wear them. The watches are about art for sure, but the art is about the stories of the people who make them and make memories with them in the wild.

In building off of the success of this mini series, I think an Apple TV sponsored program should be on the horizon!
Past Gas Podcast intro music, also the Hamilton guy sounds like Ron Swanson😊
the road through japan !
RIP the lost footage
Blurple watch: Nomos Club Campus blue purple!
My wife’s 1983 Datejust is blurple
You can't film material that's titled watches in the wild without getting robbed. This shows some depth here.
What would an episode on California be without a chapter on crime :D
More like Hodinkee, The Road through California🤣🤣

A lot of people are more interested in actual watches. Not in luxury. That is how Hodinkee can be different from abnoxious channels of grey market dealers.
Can anyone explain to me? How was the deal involving the old JLC? Did the man get 35K+ the Speedmaster? Or did he get just the 35K with the opportunity to buy a Speedmaster?

@@ericku2499 Thanks for the info. That is a very impressive value for a vintage JLC.
I have an omega sea master I’ve been swimming in the sea a couple of times - 99% of dive watches will never be used on a dive
Crazy these guys got robbed
James was not impressed with the PCH… 😂
That Shim has a lot of cool watches. ( Hope that was the correct pronoun).
Bay area welcome 😂 car window broken the. Everything stolen, you're welcome 😅
Bay Area welcome he said 🤦♂️. Pretty sad what has happened to CA as a whole.
Triple Aught Design did NOT make those watches. The Professional is made by sangin instruments out of Roseville CA. TAD simply puts their logos on watches in a collaboration. Such a shame to say TAD made it.

Both the TAD and the Ares were cobranded with TAD. The MKII Paradive was cobranded with PDW. The Doxa was cobranded with Aqualung. The Aquadive was cobranded with Poiseidon. The ZRC was a special edition North Adventure to fund an arctic expedition.
Cool series but you talked about great American watch companies and didn't mention Elgin. Shame.
Some would have to wonder if this series is about Range Rover verses watches. I understand sponsorship is important for Hodinkee and their status, but this is blatantly in your face.
Come on bro you putted it further from the hole than the ball was initially and still picked it up as a gimme. Great video otherwise ;P
How ironic that you got the full California experience by getting robbed 🤦🏻♂️
First time I’ve seen someone with a dive watch who actually went diving. Useless feature on a watch. Anyone with a Rolex Sub never actually wears it in the water. Let alone, go diving.
I like this series... but Cole and James have such an awkward chemistry.
Horrible. Ouch. Very politically correct. But nothing to do with real watches. Sorry.
