Around three months ago, I noticed Kevin was posting more watch-related content online, with his video discussing watches as investments, in particular, catching my interest. After responding to his video with my own thoughts, I reached out to see if he would be willing to discuss this further along with other watch-related topics.

no one:
Kevin: *C O L L E C T I O N É*
for real
Colleccion.
Everyone that speaks French.... simpleton....
Buys watches as an investment.
Wants to be buried with his watches.
He just begs for exhumation.
Nobody Famous I’ll be digging up his corpse
Well he’ll be dead... no room for capital in the afterlife I guess
He should have featured on that Drake song "When I die put my money in the GRAve"
I'm rolling 😂 and that collection getting swiped again for a 3rd time
I honest suspect that Teddy disagrees with Kevin's intention of collecting watches - increase in value, starting conversations and saying collectione
...and those are only the most pretentious things he showed in this video. Just get him talking about politics and see how popular he gets then.
@@KaiserSoze679 that’s what style is about, wearing a watch that increases in price or making money? Why would you do that to yourself? Lose money as soon as you buy something? Maybe because you don’t buy everything you own to make money and would rather have a watch that you can also use to answer phone calls, texts or pay for things with sometimes.
I have even worn a smart watch on my right wrist with a mechanical on my left. If the smart watch battery lasted longer I’d wear one more often as they are a better tool and more accurate time piece than any mechanical watch.
I have to admit I don’t feel very sorry that he lost his collection as he only seems to want them because they are expensive and increase in value.
@@murph8411 he likes the look of the watches he buys and their is nothing wrong about watches which hold or increase in value.
Hilarious... Kevin sounds like a little kid talking about baseball cards or his hot wheels or Star Wars collection, just with a slightly more adult and snobbish vocabulary.
Kevin seemed super excited to make a new friend and talk toys. I would not have guessed the interview going that way.
Very surprising.
Very entertaining.
Well done Teddy.
Getting your entire collection swiped twice and not killing yourself is more impressive than any of the watches lmao
😂
Like my inside job on ALL thefts.. meaning someone who knew him
Dude is a billionaire. It hurts yes, but this guy IS the man.
I think they have insurance on their watches
@@Anonymous-pm7jf not a billionaire but rich as fuk still
Dude, I don't know you anymore, big shot. Next interview, Brad Pitt.
#alwaysstayhumble
We need kevin hart. Kevin would steal the show
uh oh Batman Kevin hart just has hyped watches tbh
@MLWATKK Did you see the God-awful watches Crowe auctioned off the other year? Ew. More of a watch Muppet.
“I don’t tell people where they are anymore, I just carry watches with me”
K
I love the fact that Kevin truly cares for and respects the craftsmanship and the relationship between the watch and the wearer. He isn't just a billionaire buying the most expensive piece he can. He wants each piece to mean something and tell a story.
TGV and the watch box crew are sweating bullets right now.
J W. The interview with jean claude biver has them shaking lmao, the only other people on TH-cam to get him in an interview are hodinkee
Teddy might be planning a collab with TGV.
Tim Mosso is celebrating. Watch Box makes money from selling watches. TGV makes money from reading out wikipedia articles.
Lol
TGV is great! But I fee like he focuses on his production value rather than his horological values.... I find myself skipping through his videos (which he obviously spent a lot of time putting thought and hours in editing) but in the end... I’m here for you to talk about watches. Not here to listen to a fucking plastic toy TREX pop jokes...
If you’re ever in Denver, I’d be happy to do an interview with my entire collection of Casios...
TGV might take you up on that offer.
I Clog Toilets that’d work too lol
I Clog Toilets who’s TGV
@@KaneCiticani Train à Grande Vitesse
That’s a good collection no joke
Completely agree with teddy's point there, watches as an investment is honestly just a myth collectors like to perpetuate. You really need to spend loads of money before being even considered for one of the more appreciable watches, and even then, if you do decide to sell you can forget any future prospects with that authorised dealer.. in some cases even other dealers if your name spreads as a seller.
could u explain me why people that want to sell the high level watches are considered bad guys by dealers? i am new here and always read these things, but cant understand why trading watches is seen as somenthing bad
@@DanielSantMont just as how every company wants their stockholders to be long term holders not quick sellers. Think of it like this, if everyone is trying to make a quick buck and sell, the value of the watch is going to fall because no one is giving it long term value. Brands want loyalty from buyers and hate people wanting to make a quick turnover.
And the test determined... That was a lie.
@@DanielSantMont
Several reasons:
Because the company only wants “the right people” to be seen wearing their watches (to control their image)
They don’t want people to buy their watches for the sole purpose of flipping them(to preserve their value)
They want to ensure *actual* collectors are the people receiving the watches
They don’t want thousands of speculators waiting in line to buy watches
@@DanielSantMont A lot of companies actually do this. Ferrari is probably the most famous for it. Once you’re ‘chosen’ to receive an allocation for a rare model(like a la ferrari) you have to sign a contract stating you won’t sell the car for the first 2 years of ownership(to avoid flippers and for the reasons I mentioned in the last post). Celebrities get in trouble if they break the contract and are usually blacklisted. John Cena got in trouble for selling his Ford GT a few months after he bought it (for about double what he paid for it).
One of the most interesting in depth watch conversations I've ever heard. Gotta love the passion.
👆🏻
absolutely. I never thought to change watches throughout the day. It is like a new world!
There's better content out there
John Mayer is to Hodinkee as Kevin Oleary is to Teddy Baldassarre. You're blowing up.
Fuck Hodinkee
@@muffemod woah. But why?
@@thewatchzealot cause they’re even more snob than O’Leary, which is no easy task.
Teddy, congratulations! You are going up the ladder pretty quick. You know you making all the watch TH-camrs super jealous 👍🏻
Have something planned with other watch guys coming up
Teddy Baldassarre great to hear congrats #watchfam
@WatchMe Unboxing who are you?
Baldy has a code 11:59🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Never thought I'd get to hear Kevin say Chrono24
He’d never actually buy from there though
@@sinjon why not? You’d be dumb not to buy from them lol
@@akallstar5 I like how you have 14 days for your watchmaker to check the watch when you buy from chrono
@@bdegrds it’s a wonderful service, honestly.
@@akallstar5 how much overpriced is it?
I've had my Apple stainless watch for 5 yrs now, and still on the original battery. It has a sapphire crystal, has been clumsily smashed into many metal door jambs, and still looks 9 on a 10 scale. 10 different straps & bracelets for it in various materials & colors allow me to stylize with an understated flare.
I typically wear a Rolex on my left wrist, and the Apple on my right. Whenever people say anything, which is often, I hold up both arms and say "THIS is a wristwatch, this is an electronic assistant, and if I want to know the time I look left every time." About half the time that starts a conversation about watches, and that's a good thing. At the end of the day, however, they both improve the quality of my life each in different ways, and I've never been afraid to be different.
Thanks for the vids Teddy! Sparks in Daytona
Please stop wearing 2 watches ⌚️⌚️ it's not stylish
guess you are new money
I just imagine him picking up his red strap AP: "This will make a fine addition to my COLECCIÓN!" 😂
😂😂😂 I’m dying!
😂
I didn't know anything about Kevin O'Leary at all before this video, but he speaks beautifully about watches and the hobby. He seems full of passion for each of his pieces instead of just being a rich guy throwing money around. Excellent video.
The guy's a greasy, arrogant lying shit.
Agree. Its fun seeing a guy who has everything. Still gets excited about his watch collection. And he appreciates each of them.
If someone broke into my house and found my watch collection, they'd probably just take the display case I bought on Amazon, and leave the watches...lol
😂 same
I really liked the fact that Kevin seemed genuinely interested in your opinions. Sometimes famous people just like to talk - but you could tell he wanted to hear what you had to say
Errrrr sometimes!🤔
Interrupts Teddy far too often .😮
You have to love Kevin for his sheer boyish enthusiasm on this topic. And of course he is a fellow (and badly afflicted) victim of our disease - Acute Horological Syndrome :-D
Kevin O'Leary killed two people with his boat today in Northern Ontario August 29th .
Kevin is a victim? Tell that to the various business partners he's had throughout the years including the investors of his software company in the late 90s that all lost their shirts.
I don’t love anything about him. He’s a moron, a pompous jerk, and he absolutely shits on some gorgeous pieces with those red bands
@@monkeyballs512 I couldn't agree more with you. I quit watching the Shit Tank because of him. He thinks his shit don't stank but it does. I usually don't judge people like that but: Kevin you are a pompus ass!
Kevin: hey, look at all these red bands!
Teddy: that’s great but watches as investments is a pretty stupid idea, right?
Kevin:... but all the bands are RED. Pretty crazy right?
Lol!
You do know, inside of minutes all of those watches can be rebanded back to as they came out of the box. He's an actor on Shark Tank as well as an investor. No, I don't care for the color, but he's into trademarking himself as a brand on Shark Tank. Of course the difference between being crazy and eccentric is the size of your bank account too.
i lolled
@@VersedNJ he being eccentric to catch attention...
Actually they are orange. Kevin is colour blind.
I got Jordan Schlansky vibes when Kevin started talking about his kolekcione
If only Teddy could've been as sassy as Conan
New subscriber here that is a long time shark tank fan and newly engaged in the watch industry; you Teddy, are a marvel human. To be able to balance Kevin the way you did with class and to avoid confrontation while maintaining a high esteem and intellect was a pleasure to watch. (Pun intended). You’re a gift to humanity with your personality and candidness; soon after your intelligence in the industry. Keep it up.
Great score/land on this Teddy!
Thank you my friend! I hope you’re well!
Wow! Didn’t know you were a watch fan too! (Apart from seeing some in your videos lol) Love your videos man!
Teddy, I am so proud of you. You showed what a knowledgeable, articulate ,young watch expert you are.To stand there with a Billionaire and display your knowledge,and state your opinion,was fantastic. I consider Kevin somewhat of a watch expert himself. The two of you had a very interesting and respectful debate on some slight differences of opinion while entertaining us all. You have taken a large leap into manhood. Well done ,my friend.
Thanks for the heartfelt comment, Ed. Made me smile
Teddy Baldassarre You’re welcome. If you get much classier I’m going to have to call you Theodore.
He's not a billionaire
@@edhammond6911 in my humble opinion, calling Mr Wonderful an "expert" might be a bit of a stretch...
#alwayslearning
Mr wonderful Is worth 400 million dollars, he’s not a billionaire.
The more I see Kevin outside of the show, the more I like him. Great conversation
Me too
“I’m investing in my desire to own this” is a phrase I will definitely be using in the future.
Some people: “Let’s steal his collecsiooooon”
It's his own fault lmao what an idiot, anyone with that big of a collection should keep most of it in the bank
Robbin I have a few good watches and I thought of putting it in my safety deposit box, but what’s the point. If I can’t wear my watches, why have them.
RickJason No offense but you obviously don't have a big enough collection to worry about this kind of stuff, so it doesn't apply to you. Once you start to hit 10 watches or more, that's when you would have to put most of it in the bank. Then you can simply keep 5 at the house for example, cycle through those, then go to the bank once in a while to switch them out for 5 other ones. This is all relative to the size of someone's collection
I like the continuity of the collection.
@@MatraBatra with that kind of money I'd install a pretty safe safety deposit box at home. So I can keep other stuff there as well. With some fingerprint and voice recognition and call 911 if attempted to be broken. But I guess when you got your collection stolen and you can order all same watches same evening without even noticing.. it doesn't matter.
Congratulations Teddy, I follow you from that “feminine wrist” video, and now you’ve become a man in the watch industry. Follow your dreams man! I’m a subscriber 💪👍
Appreciate it man! Man with feminine wrists on a mission!
Best interview ever! I was as interested at the end of it as I was at the beginning.
I have a friend that got 120 thousand dollars worth of watches stolen from his house, since then he doesn't buy expensive pieces. I can't even imagine how much money Kevin lost, I don't know if I'd still buy luxury watches if I were to get my collection wiped out twice..... Kudos to both of you, great content!!
A true watch enthusiast, for someone to have 2 collections stolen and to build again. Painful.
For most of us it would be like being in a firing squad and living to tell the tale twice. But for Kevin. It’s like a paper cut followed by another paper cut.... his wallet isn’t feeling the hit like “all of us”. It’s just another check he needs to write lol
@@alexthelegoguy4504 all the watches on a table are like $300K at best. For a billionaire .. pff.
"If you put an apple watch on your wrist you're probably going to burn in hell" - Kevin O' Leary
😂😂😂
Love it
Kevin O'Leary - Apple Watch - burn in hell 😂 - he said it here amigos.
@Matt S. I actually thought the same...
@John Smith I have tried the Apple Watch, but after 2 weeks you're over it, it is as Apple say themselves, an iPhone accessory...
It's so true to say it is very hard to 'monetize' your watch collection. I have a couple of steel Rolex's I bought as investments but, despite the prices you see online, the platforms take such a huge % that negates the profit of someone choosing to buy from me.
Watch dealers look for margins around 45-55% (in my experience) and unless you are buying the sort of watches Kevin talks about - you ain't making any money on 10k watches.
I think what's funny about this video, after going back to watch it again, is how you went in thinking you were going to have to fight Kevin, but both of you ended up having a lot more in common than you thought to the point you guys are doing videos together all the time. I can't believe how well it turned out!
I sense a theme in O'Leary's watch strap selection...
😂😂😂😂
I'm not seeing it.....🤔
Kevin is colour blind and thus he thinks the straps are red when they are actually orange.
Yes, douchiness
If he says collectioné like that again... I’m going to throw a kitten in a river.
😂 Seriously! It's like he's trying real hard to pitch that phrase. So corny.
And for that reason I'm out.
Mr O'Leary is Canadian, he was born in Montreal. So he probably just does it naturally as he probably speaks French
I know right. It's super annoying
Baldy should buy a watch once he can grow hair 🤣
"YeahYeahTheHeliumReleaseValveYupYupYupMhm!" 18:00
Erik Mello 😂😂😂😂😂
🤣
nitrogen release valve
Nitrogen release valve... in water
😂😂😂😂😂😂 This guy
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I totally understand where Teddy is coming from with respect to watches not necessarily being a great investment vehicle for everyone. What we are seeing here is differences in perspective between an industry professional and a pure collector. Jewelry and watch industry professionals, if they are being honest, will rarely recommend these products as investment vehicles. There are for sure better ways to allocate capital.
Teddy, you're really killing it right now. Loving all these great interviews. Keep up the great work bud, cause the watch community is grateful for all the great content.
The nitrogen release valve LMFAO
Baba Ganoush it’s hydrogen right? lol
@@tm55555 Usually Helium but also Hydrogen. Hydrox en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrox_(breathing_gas)
Maybe in another planet...
Scrolled all the way here to see if someone caught it... Teddy was quick to correct it though.... the way he did it LMFAO
That alone shows he has no idea about the watches specs and has no real appreciation for what they are beyond their value. This guy is a truly grotesque watch collector(or whatever pretentious way he wants to say it)
Fantastic interview!! Thoroughly enjoyed it!! Thank you!
Love hearing Kevin's passion in discussing watches. I don't necessarily agree with all of his style points, but it is undeniably unique and an image.
I have a huge respect for Kevin O'Leary and I was just amazed to hear his stories about his watches. Thank you for this interview! I loved it!
Kevin O'Leary smashed his boat into another boat in Northern Ontario killing two people August 29th
Teddy and Kevin are super entertaining and informative. True enthusiasts
Love the red as well. It makes his ‘colección’ truly one of a kind. Great video, Teddy!
great video. the passion comes over so well. just great to watch !!!
Great interview! You are making great content I’ve learned a lot
Fascinating interview. You handled it very well, Kevin is knowledgeable and funny.
Teddy, your most recent content has hit it out of the park! Looking forward to what's coming up.
Stumbled across this video, one of the most interesting watch videos I’ve seen. And I’ve watched a ton of them. Kevin is a wealth of knowledge
Kevin is like the ‘Dad’ of the business world. Love listening to him.
Signed in to leave a comment. Mr. Teddy, that was really good. Awesome stuff, keep it up, perd of you.
Outstanding video! Well done. I really enjoyed it, Teddy! You are my hero. Kevin & his red straps? Original and heck-a-style! I love Kevin and the fact that he sets trends.
im just getting into watches and stumbled upon your channel. great content man. youre a great interviewer. looking forward to the next one.
I love watches and fountain pens which will quite often also lead to interesting conversations when in business meetings. The pens fire up conversations more often than my watches do. I have a few nice pieces of both but can’t imagine collecting at the level of Kevin. I love his passion when talking about his collection and what fires him up.
Wonderful is a salesman . He make things look better than they are actually.
Love how Kevin runs his brand through and through. Great marketer. Great video. Not a red band fan but respect commitment...and I kind of want one now.
Opposite to these guys, I love it when he said the term collection in French. It shows his passion. In life, you will go far when you truly believe in and have passion for something. This is a man of class.
I get that watch "sickness" because is the chase of timeless pieces, the relationships that you build, etc. Great video, better than many movies right now
Great video. There is a touch of the student in awe of the master in this video, but you held your own and asked some great questions. Kevin seems to be a genuine personable and interesting guy
Kevin wasn't "speculating" about London Jewelers keeping their AP AD status by having a standalone AP boutique inside London Jewelers. He already knew that was the plan....which it is
Chances are, he probably had some insider information. But he is someone well-versed in business and heavily invested in the watch industry. I wouldn't be surprised if he knew that was going to be the case due to the "exclusivity" many brands want to create.
Catching up on all your videos. What a great conversation about watches. Thank you!
Great collection. I really enjoyed the video. His comments on Smart Watches are spot on. Thanx
I've never cared much for Kevin, but I do luv his passion & enthusiasm for watches.
Well done Teddy!
Definitely number 1 in the watch youtube community, you are making great progress. Looking at all of this makes me miss your first intro 🤣 At that time I thought I thought this was a fashion channel, Im glad I stayed all the way through. Congrats!
I talked Watches from the beginning but watches became the only focus over time. Thanks for sticking with me!
Such a great interview. Really enjoyed this. Thanks Ted!
Great interview. Keep up the good work!
Looks so different to the older videos, with a real sense of evolution, but don't get me wrong I like all your videos since I found them
Having a red band on every single watch is bizarre. That's his taste and thats fine but nothing stylish about it.
Kevin is a Piru Blood from Compton
its because of shark tank, they make him wear one color band.
Agreed. It's an 8 year olds approach to 'style' 😂
I think it looks sweet, personally.
Style is way more subjective than you’re making it out to be.
Love listening to you both great views on watch industry.
What a great coversation, i could listen to you two for hours!
Teddy, this is by far the most enjoyable video I have watched (about watches) in the last 3 or 4 months (I follow you and some 6 or 7 other watch enthusiasts with youtube channels). Really great work interviewing Kevin O'Leary. This video should have triple the views it has today. Just great work!!! Thanks :)
23 jewel movement only! Glass back. Seiko love it.
The best watch talk I’ve ever seen ..... I’m crazy about watches ,feels good to see I’m not alone 😊
Great vid!!! Delighted with the Bremont mention - have the S500 blue and it is beautiful and robust!!! Keep up the awesome work Teddy!!!!
Wondering why I was watching a video about watches. Then I realized this is a refreshing video without anything political or controversial. Teddy’s videos are just wholesome.
I can’t remember the last time I watched a 42 minute TH-cam video, good video Ted!
The longest video I watched was Avengers Endgame
An awesome video, just watched it and so much enjoyed it. Being a watch enthusiast, I just love the video you made as well as the interview itself. Great! 👍
Hey Ted, to be honest. This is one of the best, if not, the best, watch interview I've ever watched. Its a real discussion, full of agreement and disagreement from two persons who are knowledgeable about watches, the business, and its industry, rather than just nodding at each every opinion. Good stuf man! Subscribing
I like how Kevin asks Teddy questions also... Always looking for info and thoughts, very sharp guy :)
I remember when Teddy had 30 Subscribers, a long way ever since. Great investor providing excellent content.
This is by far my favorite episode. I hope you do this again with somebody elseor revisit this gentleman again to see the some more of his watches.
Love your videos teddy. Greetings from peru!
I'm surprised Kevin doesn't have a MVMT piece in his Collectioné
Or a top tier Vincero
Look,this is how I see it ok,he clearly doesn't know much about watches but it seems like he likes it a lot ,i see him as producer michael.
Or a Casio
@@ivan6navi hey, my Casio calculator watch still hits hard.
"Watches need a safe", from the guy who got his entire collection stolen twice
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me and I buy a safe 😏
A safe and an AK to guard the safe 😉🤫🤷🏽♂️
Thanks for being so generous with your time, Mr. O'Leary. -I enjoyed that.
Interesting video! Would love to see more of these
Teddy is a heavyweight now. Learned a ton from this. Big future ahead Teddy!
This interview was inspiring as hell. I love the way Kevin says everything with full confidence and belief. The host did a fantastic job of having great counter arguments while maintaining synergy.
This was awesome. Much love.
That rounded AP with the red alligator band is wonderful. I love it
Man you guys are so great together, I can't get enough of these videos, both of you look so good together, your personalities mesh quite well, you're both so knowledgeable, I've been BINGE WATCHING THESE VIDEOS and I can't get enough.... Both of you have great taste in timepieces, you guys both seem to have developed a genuine friendship, and let's face it, we've got two powerhouses from two different generations, which is what the world needs MUCH MORE OF.... And I don't mean this in a bad way AT ALL. Kevin isn't "old" and Teddy isn't a "kid" but there is some distance between the two of your ages, and these videos are a FANTASTIC EXAMPLE of how beneficial a friendship is with a person outside of your age group. One of my longest friends is over a decade older than me, and I could not have possibly been more blessed. I think that's part of why I appreciate these videos so much... you guys, I mean, its the internet, its "tv" but you guys seem to GENUINELY enjoy each other's company, and man, I can't get enough of that..... IF ONLY more people would seek out a solid, genuine friendship like this, the world would absolutely be a better place.
Teddy, thank you for maintaining your perspective on “watches as an investment.” You represent the vast majority of us who enjoy watches and fit within the broadest area of the collecting bell curve. Kevin reflects that segment most of the population will never ever realize. However, that doesn’t stop us from enjoying these discussions. Kudos to you and Kevin for this post. Well done by both.
Kevin has lost his entire collection twice. He pays insurance and security to house and protect his watches. He hasn’t made anything on watches. He’s lost millions.
I absolutely love RubberB and thank Mr. Wonderful for turning me on to them. As I write this comment, I have a Explorer II that has been PVD and has an orange RubberB band with the original deployment clasp on it. The watch is absolutely stunning and the integration of the band and case is so perfect that people have mistook the band as original.
Love this interview!
Wonderful chemistry between you two could listen to you all day long thanks so much!
📩
I have no idea how you got Mr. Wondeful to do an interview with you. I have been watching the Shark Tank show on CNBC for years.
What that AP needs is red leather with curved ends up to the case, then it would be just perfect.
Great Vid!!Love the red straps
Very polite Mr Teddy, the way you corrected his "nitrogen relase valve" comment :) Just state the correct answer and move on...
