😂 … same clothes and same great guys! Thanks for sharing this great history. I truly hope Marc and his team have continued success for many, many years to come!
Islander watches are fantastic. I will keep buying every time one strikes me which is about once a year. I could not be happier with his watches and the service.
When Marc was talking about how quickly he can get a new idea to the watch market (around the 7:00 mark), it reminds me of the HMBT-1 watch that was a concept derived by viewer feedback. When the final decisions were made, I prepaid for one and got it only a couple months later. It’s awesome.
Gee - no comments? I'll make a comment. Chris, it's great to see you supporting the home team - and letting people know that there are innovators and entrepreneurs right here in NY.
I knew that Marc started Islander because he wanted an SKX replacement. That was a good explanation of the brand's development. This Englishman knew JFK airport used to be called Idlewild because I've always admired him and wondered what If........ Before the Republicans shoot me down I admire President Reagan too. Great video, thanks guys.
I really wish Marc would do a Brookville with a goldstone/ blue aventurine dial. He did green aventurine. I've been bugging him for weeks about it, every video he releases. One of these days!
This is the big difference between Marc and all the other watch TH-camrs out there making their own watches. Marc is making watches that people want, others are making watches that they want and that is a big difference! That's why Marc has been hugely successful and most others have failed.
I like Marc’s channel and a run down of his islander watches has been really good. I own most of them as seikos but a few I think I’ll pick up to have a good look at in person 👍
Thank you Seiko for discontinuing the skx because we have Marc killing it on design and value. Sapphire glass and regulated movement for about $300. Much much better than a Seiko which I stopped buying and now going on my Islander journey. Got the blue Melville and its awesome! My watch after two days so far running +0. This is better than my Grand Seiko which used to run +1 to 2 sec a day and after my balance became unaligned and serviced under warranty its running 10 to 13 sec a day for a watch costing $7,000. The service center is horrible and kept telling me their standard is +8 to -1 and I was like its not even meeting your own spec so why you keep telling me this. The beverly hills boutique said its normal for a mechanical watch and I call BS because I have a cheapo $270 seiko with a 4r36 movement and it runs + 6 to 9 and I went snorkeling with it and mountain biking with it. Bye bye seiko hello Islander! I am also no longer in Grand Seiko after this horrible experience!
Chris tell Marc he needs to start selling LIW hoodies!!! He won't listen to me. Thank God Seiko dumped the SKX.....and gave birth to the ISLs. Best thing ever happened to the micro brand space. Great interview video sir.
Thanks Chris! Awesome time. Cant wait to do it again.
Two classy and knowledgeable individuals meet for a delightful and fascinating talk. Thanks, guys, and please do these often!
Somehow missed this one when it came out. Love your visits with Marc. He’s putting out such great watches! Terrific video. Thanks.
Really respect Marc and everything he does for America watchmaking!
😂 … same clothes and same great guys!

Thanks for the sit down. Congrats to Marc for all the success and looking forward to all the future Islanders!

Wonderful. Both of you are so worthy of every success. Congratulations on the brand Marc!
Excellent. Both of you guys are fantastic and Marc runs a wonderful business which I hope goes well into the future.
Thanks Chris for this video. Marc is doing great things and always look forward to what he is doing next.
Two awesome watch guys right here folks. 👍🏻
I love my Islander JFK blue on a black leather strap from B&R!

Idlewild is such a cool name and yet true a bit obscure. terrific overview of the LIW experience! thanks.

Great video. Heard a lot about Long Island Watches and finally sat down to listen. Have a new buyer after listening!

I like the new 9075 GMT’s. They look great.
That was fun
Wearing Marc's Isl-19 Dive watch (Pepsi) right now. Love it! Also have the Isl-83 Mitchel full lume Field watch.
All awesome watches!!!! I love my Bethpage Amerigraph.
Two of my favorite watch guys!
👍👍👍 Nice Collaboration about Watch and Expert about Watch 👍👍👍
Great chat guys!
Being 70+, I knew about Idlewild from the “Car 54, Where Are You?” theme song.
Dynamic Duo !

Very good point.
Loved this video! More please 🙏🏾
Great vid! So interesting to hear Marc tell the story of Islander’s birth. Do I smell a WatchChris x Islander collab . . . ?

Wow TGV looks very different suddenly 🙃

Lol
Ha! Yes. Marc talked about it is one of his previous videos.
