For this video, I traveled to Beverly Hills, CA to ask Mr. Wonderful some questions about the current state of the watch collecting universe. As always, Kevin had some hot takes on brands, watches, and what to do with your watch collection after you're gone.

Teddy, this segment, to me, is the best you have done with Kevin. First, the mutual respect and genuine friendship between you two really shines through. Second, rest assured, your work, while perhaps in some respects resonates with a younger demographic, truly appeals, as well, to watch enthusiasts in my age class of 60+. Why? Because your content is alive with countless fresh topics and perspectives, slants that are not age restricted. Finally, I found the economics discussed in this presentation highly-informative and stimulating. While Kevin is obviously quite attuned to business dynamics, as someone who has watched your videos from the beginning, your ability to articulate your views on various aspects of the business of watches has grown in both breadth and depth. Thank you again for another fine presentation. All my best.
I second that 🙋🏼♂️
I agree. While I've appreciated and enjoyed the previous videos with you two, it has seemed to me that Kevin is typically, subtly, jostling against the young lion who is clearly an expert in the history and the current trends of watchmaking. Even though the denim jacket comes off as contrived, Kevin seems more relaxed and authentic here than in any previous session with these two.
As always, an informative and entertaining presentation.
Yes exactly!! As a Gen X’er I appreciate having the perspectives of someone closer to my age in combination with the perspective of a knowledgeable young person
I’m so glad that Kevin said “do not go into debt for a watch”. Great advice!
Nope, YOLO 😎😎😎
That depends. What if you are given the opportunity to buy a 41mm Sub of a Ceramic Daytona at retail? If you take out a 100% loan to buy that watch at 8% interest, you are going to make money if you sell it next day. Granted, it's pure hypothetical.
Don’t tell TPG
@@pasquale78 yes grab it and flip it, make 5-10k in 1 hour
It’s hard for him to go into debt.
I am a 16 year old and Teddy got me absolutelly obsessed with watches. In just a few months i learned SO MUCH about watches and recently i bought my first ever mechanical watch, a Seiko 5 snk361, an older Seiko 5, with the old logo and a beautifull dial for the money ($100). I love everything about it, it is just so mesmerising to look at a mechanical watch and i wear mine absolutely everywhere, to school, to town, at home, the only time i dont use it basically when i sleep or when i shower. Thank you Teddy.
Excellent pick for your first watch!
@@mackm3875 thanks
Congrats! 👍
Great choice!
Keep up the good work! We need your generation to carry on this passion and tradition that you can pass down to your kids and grandkids along with those great Seiko pieces!
Kevin's comments on never financing a watch is spot on . I've collected for a long time and have acquired some really nice peices and have always paid up front for them . For many years I had to save in some cases for a few years in my own separate fund just to buy a specific watch . I always made sure my financial house was in order first and always family first .
Always love it when you have Kevin on the channel! The two of you are spectacular on these discussions together!
“I’m going to go to your grave….” Teddy, is already looking ahead at getting Mr. Wonderful’s watches. Great video and love the little banter between these two….
Teddy is going for the watches🤣
He could charm his way in to Mr Wonderfull I guess🤔🙂
Never go I to debt for a watch, a watch is something to be earned you might not have it today but when you’re ready it will be there…that was a gem 💎
If a company is offering 30 months no interest it’s pretty dumb to pay out 10k up front.
Once I started this video, I couldn’t stop watching. I love this feature series with Mr. Wonderful. Keep em coming!!
The pandemic got me into watch collecting. First it was a New Yorker article, which led me to Hodinkee, to TGV, to Teddy and all this content on TH-cam. The pandemic did wonders for watches, meme stocks, crypto, art and all sorts of other asset classes. But I really did appreciate all this extra time to learn about the artisans of watchmaking.
Yep sports cards went absolutely fucking insane in 2020
TGV is class
I’m 26. My fiancé just bought me my first watch as a Christmas gift and I haven’t been this excited to get a gift since I was a child. It’s more then a way to tell time. It’s a memory, a reminder, a wonderful peace of art.
Truly one of the most entertaining and current informational watch video I have seen in a long time. Thank you for sharing this conversation
Always a great conversation with "Mr. Wonderful". Keep 'em coming!
Teddy, your questions are always spot on and insightful. Great job.
Thanks for sharing your access to Mr. O'Leary 🙂👍🏼
Though simple with not much video effects (just a tripod and camera in front), this segment inviting Mr Wonderful to have a conversation, sharing of thoughts is the best segment to me by far. Many things to learn from and information to absorb. It's so simple yet so wonderful. I wish you could do this more often and keep up the good work!
Always enjoy these talks; thoughtful yet super casual and fun!
Great chemistry and you guys really connect putting off educationally and entertaining videos!
Now I just ordered a seagull 1963. The history, look, caliber aus price just amazing 😀
Seagull 1963 is a legend, amen.
If I bought watches with the idea I need to make money on them, I would miss out on a lot of great watches. As a collector, I will ONLY buy a watch I love. The very second I worry about the resale value of a watch I like, and don't buy it cause I'm worried about it, it will kill my love for collecting. and it would ruin the hobby for me.
That statement proves you are a real watch person and understand what watches are really about
If I'm concerned about resale value, it makes me think I don't really like the piece and am not planning on keeping it
Totally agree. I just ordered my most expensive watch ever and I know it will lose value as soon as I wear it. That's life! However, Omega seem to keep a good resale value though.I took a list of five watches with me to tryon and I chose the one I liked wearing the most despite the extra 2k
@@danehardinge8801 which one did you get?
Always cool to see Mr Wonderful talking about watches. More of this contents please.
Can't wait to see his one of a kind pieces ❤
Great content and advice. You two gentlemen are truly a joy to watch!
Would love to see a Vacheron Overseas in green... the same way they do that laquer blue. just imagine 😍
that sounds stunning
I luv your interviews with Kevin because he too has the addiction. He nails it with the fascination over dials. Like he said in one of your earlier sit downs with him… A watch has to make you want to look at it snd it all begins with the dial. Thank you for doing this Teddy… we’ll done.
I'm 31 and own a 9 watch collection of quartz, automatic, and tuning fork watches of various types and qualities. A Bulova Maquina I saw at the mall 4 years ago that I was gifted as a graduation present first got me into watches. I've been slowly acquiring more ever since
Quality over quantity
I See a Video with you guys and i click it! Thanks for this great and authentic conversations.
Love these kinds of videos! Great video Teddy!
More of these 2 together please. A monthly or weekly show or podcast would be THE BOMB!
Really enjoy Kevin. And the interplay between the two of you. Well done.
Nice job Teddy, though we still want to see Mr Wonderful wearing a Hamilton Khaki Field 😁
Hahahaha that would be amazing
Yeah I saw the amazed look on his face on his channel with Teddy the other day, I think he will get one too.
I have that watch for 3 days now. Its fantastic!
@@P4P5 nice
I love these videos with Kevin. Tbh I love all your videos Teddy!
🙌 a real pleasure watching you.
Had to pause the video. As I'm watching, the editor threw up some pics of the Tudor BB 58 and I'm wearing it as we speak. It's a thing of beauty and I'm very grateful because teddy's channel really helped me get into this stuff in the first place
I just can't wait to see the piece unique watches that they're going to make for Kevin!
Excited and proud of him, for him to be in a position for even one luxury watch brand to do this for him... But multiple... Can't get better than that!
These always are some of your best videos.
Love these collaboration videos with Kevin. I watch everyone of these on this channel and his.
Great video. Always very informative
I've been binge-watching (ha ha) these collab videos and Kevin tells the same stories over and over, lmao.
I've been into watches around 10 years now. For me it was the first time I saw a mechanical watch. I was born in the 90's so growing up around technology which as it advanced left me jaded. Then I see an old watch from the 60's that runs on nothing but cogs and gears. It absolutely captivated me. I now run a small side business of buying broken vintage watches then repairing and reselling them. As a result of this my personal collection now includes 2 Tudor Oysters, A Cartier Tank, 2 Tag Heuers and many others! As Kevin says, never get into debt for a watch. It's taken me 10 years but anyone can do it.
Teddy great job. I commend your talent to be able to sit in front of such an powerful and influential person like Kevin, and be able to have a real conversation with him. Many people especially younger people would buckle under the pressure. I also appreciate how prepared you come into these conversations. Keep up the great work.
When it comes to taking about watches, Teddy can run circles around this joker - and they both know it.
@@pw7900 I was trying to be politically correct, but yes I agree with you.
Love O'leary, a canadian guy who made it in the states and born in Montreal! Love when he use french words..Congratulations Teddy !
What a wonderful conversation! My brother got me in to time pieces years ago and I'm finally in a place where I have extra cash to "splurge" on one or two watches a year. I mean, they're microbrands for the most part, but I'm trying to acquire different movement types, fun complications, etc. Let the journey continue! I will note, at my engineering firm I'm the *ONLY* person not wearing a smart watch - so, that's a bit of a sad state lol
Dear Teddy and Kevin,
I hope this message finds you both well. I'm reaching out to express the sheer delight I've experienced while tuning into your TH-cam channel. Believe me when I say that for the first time, I've been so engrossed that I've watched an entire video from start to finish without skipping a beat. The last time I felt such enthusiasm and attachment to a show was with Topgear during the Jeremy Clarkson era. The camaraderie and organic chemistry he shared with his co-hosts was unmatched - until I stumbled upon your show.
Teddy, I'll admit I wasn't familiar with you before, but I've quickly become a fan of your channel. Your passion, expertise, and genuine love for watches shine through in every episode. And, Teddy, just a little observation (all in good fun!): I've noticed when you're with Kevin, sometimes it feels like you're tiptoeing a bit, perhaps a tad intimidated? You're such a dynamo on your own channel! Don't let Mr. Shark Tank's aura throw you off. Go on, push his buttons every now and then. We'd love to see it! 😉
Kevin, most of us recognize you from Shark Tank, and to be frank, I wasn't always a fan of your on-screen persona there. It felt a bit too arrogant and unyielding at times. However, witnessing the more vulnerable and authentic side of you on this channel, discussing and marveling over watches, has entirely shifted my perspective. It's heartwarming to see you as just another watch lover, much like myself.
The duo you've formed is nothing short of electrifying. After a long day at work, I've now found myself eagerly dumping my daily relaxation habits just to immerse myself in your episodes. Even in a domain I thought I knew extensively, you both manage to bring fresh insights, introduce lesser-known brands, and spar energetically over horological masterpieces. The authenticity is palpable - it's evident this isn't some scripted endeavor but a true passion project.
And this brings me to my earnest suggestion: Your show has the potential to become the 'Topgear' for watches. Have you considered taking it a notch higher? Platforms like Netflix or Amazon Prime could be the perfect stage to amplify your reach and showcase the intricate world of watches to an even broader audience. A dedicated series, focusing not only on the rare, high-end pieces but also on affordable, yet spectacular mechanical watches, would be a dream come true for enthusiasts like me.
Of course, I sincerely hope that irrespective of the path you choose, your episodes continue to grace TH-cam, offering free access to horological wonders for many.
Thank you for the joy, education, and camaraderie you bring with each video. Here's hoping you'll consider my suggestion and take the watch world by storm, even more than you already have!
Warm regards,
Been watching all of Teddy and Kelvin’s collabs all night such a great duo
It's channels like this that have caused a surge in the younger generation getting into watches. I never even heard of Tudor until I watched a review on this channel. Now I'm the proud owner of a 58 and have a new horribly expensive hobby. Not sure if I should thank you or curse you.
Yep I am 25 and just bought my first watch and I always considered them stupid and materialistic.
Thank at first. Later you will curse. 😜🤪
I love these Kevin videos! I'm a big fan of his! I even chose him as my project in university for favorite business man !
yes, more please. love ya'lls converations!
Exactly 💯 not buying multiple watches and putting myself in debt just to get on a wait list. Nobody who has been wearing a watch for decades will just stop and use there phones. That will never happen a watch ⌚ is your companion and goes with you almost everywhere.
Another Mr. wonderful video, another round of feeling triggered by the pronunciation of "colleccion."
Love these!
I just love you two together, please more and then a little bit more!
I have to give teddy his kudos he definitely given me knowledge on the Andorian watch brand
It's always fun seeing the difference in oppinions and taste between you and Kevin.
I really like Kevin's wise words about not going into debt to buy a watch. And that your responsibilities comes first before a watch. I can understand why Kevin is where he is.
Really? Every watch buying strategy video I've ever seen leads with this one point. Not sure why it's more important coming from this guy.
@@morganthedruid1 because Kevin is extremely successful at business and you should learn from those people
Teddy, I always like your videos. They’re the best!
I really wish you two made videos together more frequently. Great duo!
IMO it's in a perfect balance now. You don't want to over saturate the market, learn from the best marketers - Rolex.
Really enjoy these two gentlemen thanks for the content
These are the best videos from Teddy. Mr Wonderful loves dials so much, he needs a Moser in La Collectiõn
Another great episode
I can't get enough Teddy/mr wonderful videos. Nothing better than Kevin ooohhh and ahhing over 500 to 2k watches!
Another great video Teddy! Question for Kevin “Vacheron constantin” specifically the overseas 3 gen thoughts on the current rise and appreciation.
Loved it. Thanks, Teddy. Very well done.
Much better than previous interviews.
Great conversation. I appreciate your videos. If I could suggest a video, I’m interested in affordable calendar pieces.
Really enjoyed the video with Kevin O'Leary because the two of you really share the genuine respect and admiration to one another. Not only that none of you come across as the snobbish "I'm an expert in this area" person that often time ruins a discussion within a hobby
Just awesome content and on-point content
Such a great team! As a Gen X’er I appreciate having the perspectives of someone closer to my age in combination with the perspective of a knowledgeable young person. Keep up the good work
great video watched the whole thing it was quality
Awesome video. Kevin digs deep into the watch market. He is very knowledgeable about it. A serious collector. Teddy is an Expert at identifying affordable luxury pieces.
Great video, wished it could have gone on for longer. 👍🙂
The Italian roots showing up at 9:31 is amazing.
Very good segment.
I'm at that point in my watch collecting journey where, probably like most of us, I can't afford bespoke pieces 😂
Most of us? More like a legitimate 99.9% of us. Haha!
What do you mean by "bespoke" pieces?
I would say that's unique, handcrafted stuff? Almost no Rolex would apply then?
But many microbrands, even sub 1000 EUR would?
@@ZesPak Microbrands may be willing to work with you, but still-- I have no idea how much extra it would be to have them make a one-off to my specifications. It will probably be (a lot) cheaper than have Patek Philippe do it 😂
We need more videos of these two together.
great video yet again
Great video. thanks for sharing.
Ah this is awesome! I love how you guys have a few disagreements about watches, it makes for a very good and productive conversation, which is refreshing not only in the watch world, but the world we’re living in as a whole
Love your videos you two!!
Episodes with you and Kevin are always entertaining, great discussion 👏
Finally! Yall gotta get together more often 2 times a month or atleast once
I’m so glad you got a new episode. Makes my life more entertaining and interesting.
The Mr. Wonderful Perpetual Calendar. That’s THE one of a kind.
“…so many diamonds… it’s a piece of ART!” Is it, though? Is it?
Its not…
It is.
Tacky
Nope.
Stop hating on Rolex and their diamond watches. Don't hate congratulate
To Kevin’s point early in the video, more often than not if I want the time…..I look at my cell phone. Watches to me are essentially a combo of jewelry and art. I love looking at my watches!
I always enjoy watching your interactions with Kevin, please keep them coming!
Rubber B straps, only in red., That's Kevin's style right there.
Hearing between the lines, it's great to see you invested/diversified in other assets, like the stock market, Teddy!
Love these videos,
Love seeing your channel grow and your relationship with Kevin. Take care and all the best!
Love the Kevin videos!
Off to grab my TV dinner and then to settle down with this video.
Great as always 👍 🇬🇧🍻
I definitely enjoyed the video/discussion. I hadn't realized the blue trend/fad had been going for so long, but then I didn't discover you videos until late 2018.
I love the Mr wonderful answer to the finance question. Since watching this channel I've always aspired to own a dive watch. I can't afford the submariners or even the tudor black bays of the world. Hell to buy a tissot sea star is stretching my budget. But I recently acquired a casio duro. I've never admired a watch so much in my life. A gift to myself that I will always cherish.
Have you ever looked at / considered the Christopher Ward range of watches? I love my C65 Trident GMT wth a red and blue bezel
Great video 👏
i'd love to know which watches Mr. Wonderful managed to buy at retail vs. those he had to buy from the grey mkt.
KOL is right about price. The ultra-high tickets of the amazing pieces are less a reflection of the article, more about money itself.
i have the avetni a10 red roso. cool watch love it.
Teddy, great video - fully agree with Kevin's view on the market. It will be interesting for new companies to enter the market. The existing luxury brands cannot expand production very much otherwise it will not be luxurious anymore. So start an apprenticeship in Switzerland, Glashütte or Japan ... safe job and then start your own brand. Greetings from Germany
The choice is simple I could either have a lifeless, generic, black square made of cheap aluminum strapped to my wrist or a one of a kind time piece with a soul and story behind it that is just beautiful to look at as it glistens in the light and doesn't feel like a toy
Excellent video segment. Kevin’s insight reveals his detailed connection to the industry and your historical and contemporary context created an engaging dialogue. Is it just me or does Mr Wonderful have a brother from another mother…Patrick Stewart? Kudos to you both on a great dialogue broadening beyond review of individual watches.
It's amazing how much time Kevin spent with teddy.
It was gratifying to see Kevin showing Teddy the respect he so richly deserves
@@karenwilcox2191 he really does, I feel like he is gaining a lot of knowledge from teddy too.
Beautiful art will always have value
