What an awesome conversation! I really love how Mr. A speaks-he’s so down-to-earth and you can totally feel his passion for vintage watches. This episode is the perfect example of what Hodinkee does best-sharing great stories and truly ‘talking watches’!
Right video in the right time! Alessandro is a really cool guy, we met few times in Parma for the watch show few years ago. Cool watch talk btw. Can’t wait for the UG to come back 🤞🏽👑
As a UG collector myself, I am impressed and love the collection. Thank you Alessandro for sharing such beautiful pieces with us. Thank you Ben for inviting Mr. A.
Ben it was great bumping into you in nyc, so glad to see universal geneve getting spotlight it deserves. Guess I predicted the future when I mention I was a fan of UG? Excellent video and would love to pick your brain on more of this content.
This is the first episode of Talking Watches that I've watched in years. I know it's selfish to say but hope they keep walking this track they started with.
My polerouter is same from my grandfather and when I where it it makes me smile when I think my grandfather checked the time on the very same watch 55 years ago
I don't think the white gold triple calendar shown around 10:11 is a chronograph although the text says so. The guys don't refer to it as chrono either. Anyway what a great interview.
We cannot overestimate the huge role Ben played in educating the world about quality watches. From new to vintage to auctions… I always thought he should receive honorary Swiss citizenship and a diplomatic passport.
Beautiful conversation. There’s something about Ben’s demeanor when taking watches with people that just works.
Yea great talk, just not sure if it was cold in that room or he look stressed out.
This one really felt like a video from the old days, really enjoyed it.
Ben does a nice job here giving his guest some room to speak without interruptions. If only all interviewers were like this!
How amazing he has Ben’s old watch. Wow. This was a first for sure, yeah? The look on Ben’s face. So cool to watch.
That was definitely cool to see!

Great episode !! The Guest is a very calm, well articulated and cool dude. Would like to see more of him and of the UG topic
Excellent show. Thanks Ben and Mr A.
The rise of Universal Geneve is dawning
Love this interview with Mr. A. He is so passionate about timepieces.
Beautiful conversation, dialogue, and a collection ✨️ ⌚️

Superb.... "I'm not as rich as people think".... That made me chuckle!
Ben
Your interviews are without a doubt, horologically special. Thank you for your years of contributions to this beautiful industry.

Thank you hodinkee these are the videos we love as. What made you the best in the watch game
Alessandro's passion is amazing.
My polerouter is same from my grandfather and when I where it it makes me smile when I think my grandfather checked the time on the very same watch 55 years ago
Great conversation!
That was great. Would love to get some reviews with the old-school vintage dealers. Ex: bob maron and Matt bane.
And Jeff Haris also 👀
Love this guy . He is so passionate not about money only about the love !!!!!!
Great conversation. That wild 70s UG hits different. Persoanlly i am a fan of the space compax
Great video, one of my favourites from Hodinkee ❤
The grey ghost is my absolute grail!
Welcome back Ben!
Fantastic content 👌🏼 ❤ J.
Absolutely lovely UG collection🔥❤👍
Great stuff!
Great episode!
Bravo 👌👏
Cant wait to see what UG brings in the future.
Love UG, thanks for this.
Hodinkee iss back
I can’t wait to see the UG models that Breitling will deliver in the next year or two. George Kearns is paying attention to doing the details right.
Great episode
WE ARE SO BACK
Best talking watches ever! Viva UG!
This is definitely the direct collection is going… and vintage swatch 😁
21:07 he said he found that ONE PIECE and I immediately thought about the manga
Ben looks like he's about to make an offer on the gold tricompax
I don't think the white gold triple calendar shown around 10:11 is a chronograph although the text says so. The guys don't refer to it as chrono either. Anyway what a great interview.
Hodinkee this is better!
We cannot overestimate the huge role Ben played in educating the world about quality watches. From new to vintage to auctions… I always thought he should receive honorary Swiss citizenship and a diplomatic passport.
Great episode, shame about the bracelet jingling audio, ultra distracting..!
Lots of substance. Finally
Rowter or Rooter.
For me it was reading Lake Success that brought me to UG. Or Tim. One of them.
Here we go. UG watches about to skyrocket in price.
Again and next year it will be nuts
About what book Mr. A is Talking about?
next month: Universal Geneve relaunch under Georges Kern stays true to its roots. please give us ur eyeballs.
Does Universal still still new watches?
Soon!
They were just bought by Brietling and are being revived.
Crazy
Wonderful episode! 👌
