Tim, thank you for doing these collector conversations with regular guys like me. The stories behind each watch are so meaningful and interesting. Thank you!
One of my favourite collector conversations so far. This is what watch collecting should be about. The Monaco was my first Holy Grail piece but still haven't owned one...yet. Brilliant content as always Tim. 😎
Eric, thanks so much for sharing you collection and your passion. Your watch selection and the stories behind them were fun to listen to and share in. The journey is the best part along with the mishaps. We often set aside our impulse moments and only focus on our triumphs. But you let it all hang out. Those kids seem very lucky to have you as their vice principal. Happy hunting for your next great piece. Cheers!
Rado truly makes bulletproof watches. My father was gifted a quartz integral some 30 years ago from his father, and the battery died around year 5. He never got the battery changed until he gave it to me a few months ago, so it went 25 years without any service or battery. We put a new one in and it keeps seconds a month. Absolutely incredible!
Eric, thanks for sharing your collection. Very cool story about the Rado. Tim, your interview skills are top notch, regardless of whom you are hosting. Bravo Zulu, Tim.
Delightful as always. Please consider more “long-form” programming. It would be nice to watch a long conversation with a very narrow focus, for example.
I'm all in favor of this. We don't exactly shoot for a target run time, but these collector conversations are always at least 20 minutes by necessity. While we have a large number of featured guests, it's relatively tough to find one who focuses on a narrow theme. A very veteran collector like William Massena or a brand specialist like John Reardon could speak to a narrow theme. Check out my "Tim Mosso Podcast" for extended discussions with both of them. Best, Tim
Eric , awesome video loved the stories behind your watches. Always loved the Monaco McQueen and the Heuer version you have. Tim excellent interview as always !
I like the why, what they mean to him. He has seen the light. Watch collecting illumination, when the emotions by the different pieces are similar and your collection makes full sense.
An interesting man who isn't some over presented "entrepreneur" with money to burn and a garage full of trophy cars. His way is the way for many of us. Fun self deprecating but full of knowledge.
Exactly. I enjoyed this interview because Eric is all of us. This is an intimidating hobby given the money involved, often sight-unseen purchases, self-appointed taste police, and frequent contact with absurdly rich figures who can afford anything. The last thing I ever want on this show is to exacerbate any of those barriers. Best, Tim
Excellent video and collection. Agree with the general sentiment, nice to see a more normal person showing their collection. Eric has 60 watches, some high end names, Omega, IWC, Grand Seiko, multiple Cartiers etc. I don't think.I will ever own so many watches, due to servicing costs etc, but obviously, individual choice for him.
I hate to rain on your parade but McQueen wore the Monaco only for the Le Mans movie and it was the prop manager Don Nunley's suggestion cause he had a Heuer badge on his character's uniform and McQueen gifted the watch to him after the film wrapped up. In his personal life he wore a Hanhart 417 ES. He even wore the Hanhart in his movie 'The War Lover'... Just facts..
It's weird. Every watch collector interviewed seemed to speak to Tim with some degree of respect and reverence. This one, while in no way rude, speaks in an authoritative tone that one would usually use when talking to someone who knows less of the subject matter.. 😅
I've experienced this for short periods of time -- a week, for example. It's not impossible in the same sense that your car might beat its fuel economy rating under the right circumstances. But over months, very few mechanical watches can be *expected* to perform like this. Best, Tim
Great interview! I loved the story behind the Rado and how this collector looks at some of his timepieces as a way of connecting to his past and significant milestones in his life. His passion is contagious. I want to hear about all of his watches!!!!
I’m so glad this isn’t another celebrity with a box full of AP, Patek and Rolex that no one else can buy or afford.
This
So so so so true!
How about you try getting some money instead? Buys all of those watches you mentioned
@@pinkaminadianepie4735 okay troll go away
Agreed. 👍
Tim, thank you for doing these collector conversations with regular guys like me. The stories behind each watch are so meaningful and interesting. Thank you!
I’ve been bingeing these collector conversations and this is definitely my favourite guest so far. Tim is always my favourite host.
These collector conversations are the best. Thank you Tim and team.
I totally agree with Nico Leonard when he said people keep on committing a mistake on calling the Heuer Monaco a Tag Heuer Monaco. Lol
Down to earth watch collector....love his thinking about watches and his choices

I really enjoyed this interview. It’s refreshing to see collections like this one and the enthusiasm demonstrated by Eric.
Real true collector. Great episode
IWC make the best looking greens hands down 💚
Eric, thanks for sharing your collection. Very cool story about the Rado. Tim, your interview skills are top notch, regardless of whom you are hosting. Bravo Zulu, Tim.
Nice collection. Kudos to that guy! And to Tim for giving him a platform.
I love seeing what's in people's collection and why. Some great watches without being pretentious.
Also, I love Tim's watch band! Sick color.
As an A. P. And a watch guy, I love this. Kids do notice the watches and love to comment. Awesome!!
Love these conversations with normal people like us!
That Navitimer is just beautiful!
Great guy and great segment Erick is a huge watch enthusiast who has a great passion for what we all love
Watches
Looking forward to part 2
Such a relatable guy….great collection and show! Excellent!
Great interview, you can really see Eric’s passion for his collection and his love of watches. Can’t wait for part 2.
This is so damn cool. Love the collection, love the fact that he’s just a regular joe.
Great episode with a true collector. Great taste in watches!
Great 👍🏾 episode this gentleman’s collection is very unique and precise !! Awesome episode as always Tim and WB team !
Wish we could have spent some time covering that Planet Ocean Chronograph on Eric’s wrist. Great segment.
Delightful as always. Please consider more “long-form” programming. It would be nice to watch a long conversation with a very narrow focus, for example.

Good wholesome watch talk
PLEASE feature more regular people with interesting eclectic collections like this!
Great to see collectors who are one of us, absolutely good content! We can relate more with the stories and everything.
He has unique collections which he actually likes. He has not bought it as an investment. I like his enthusiasm.
I am glad, not to see Rolex or patek.
Excellent video and collection.

I don't think.I will ever own so many watches, due to servicing costs etc, but obviously, individual choice for him.
Like the collection videos of regular folks
Love the watches. Other than the grand seiko GMT, those were some of the greatest hits of each of the watch brands. Nice collection!
part 2 approved !
I truly enjoy this episode. Thumbs up!
Loved this. thank you for sharing ur collection
9:32. Awesome.
Those were cool ten years ago when I started collecting. Loved the blingy bracelet. Still super cool.
My brother had that Texas Instruments watch. Great memory. Great episode.
Only eight watches! I have 11 on my wish list right now. Wish this guy could share more of his collection.
First! Thanks for all the great content, Tim!
Never having serviced his Rado explains why Eric has so many Chronographs in his collection. Wonderful taste
GS GMT Iceman for the win
Wow great collection. I am still looking for cross over community that collect watches, empty beer btls from WWII and athletic protectors.
The right speedy, nice talk 👍🏻
What I learnt
Get the iconic model or movement for each brand that U liked in the design or colour U liked most😊
Love these videos
This guy waffles a lot
I hate to rain on your parade but McQueen wore the Monaco only for the Le Mans movie and it was the prop manager Don Nunley's suggestion cause he had a Heuer badge on his character's uniform and McQueen gifted the watch to him after the film wrapped up. In his personal life he wore a Hanhart 417 ES. He even wore the Hanhart in his movie 'The War Lover'... Just facts..
Edit: He gifted it to the film's chief mechanic.
The Heisenberg. WW will be proud.

I think his tone was fine. It may just be the confidence from being a Vice Principle and leading teachers and students.
Sorry Garrett, please have him come back and bring all 60!!
How can he afford those pieces as a teacher?
So... how much do vice principal in public schools make now-a-day?!?!
The guy on the left took the guy on the right’s hair! Sorry, couldn’t help it. 😁
No way his watch is always accurate to the second, this guys a storyteller 😂

These collections are way more inspiring and interesting than the idiotic Richard Milles and Boring Pateks worn by featherbrained "parvenus"
Who are all these randomers off the street with average collections???
LOL
Hope your wallet matches your ego
@@luxuryliving3082 Spoiler alert: it doesn't.
Tim
@@the1916companywatchreviewshaha good one!
What a God-awful BORING collection. 50% garbage, 50% pedestrian middle-brow $5K kack. Forget about what Eric was thinking, WTF was Tim thinking?
*great episode*
