- If you know comedy or if you know cars, you know Spike Feresten. Spike has been a mainstay of the American comedy scene for upwards of two decades - getting his start as the receptionist at Saturday Night Live (where he earned the nickname "Spike") before becoming a regular writer for SNL, focusing heavily on the then Dennis Miller-hosted Weekend Update. He would go on to write for Late Night With David Letterman and eventually end up as the author of several of the most iconic episodes of the most iconic sitcom in history. I'm talking about Seinfeld, and Spike's episodes include "The Soup Nazi," "The Wig Master," and "The Muffin Tops," just to name a few. Like I said, iconic. For the full story, go to www.hodinkee.c...
“Everybody deserves to own a cool watch”, this dude is the man, my very favorite talking watches episode
Finally an episode with a regular guy who doesn't know everything and doesn't care. He just buys what he likes and I can relate to that. This is definitely in the top list of episodes.
Brandon Rebuck except he isn't regular guy at all :)
Tom Pax well for this show he is haha.
Brandon Rebuck I thought this episode was fantastic. He had a collection of watches that many would be within the reach of many of us, not just grail watches and unique pieces. Don't get me wrong, I love the John Goldberger's of this world but I thought this was very refreshing. As someone else said, he didn't know everything but didn't care.
''How did you get into watches?''
Well, when I got money, in the first place.
He's one of us.
Classic Heuers, classic Porsche's... I know a man of culture when I see one
A rich humble guy with very good taste.
Cool guy. I like the fact that he admits not being a watch expert but is genuinely interested in watches
Very enjoyable episode :) LOVE the collection, wouldn't mind any of them :D
Anyone else feel like this episode was a lot more natural?
itsKibble Talks Watches I share your impression. This guy worked on Seinfeld, so It could only be good.
it dose feel very natural. seems Feresten really enjoy his watches and not a collector for the sake of it :) most of his watch acquisitions are based on some important event in his life/career so i think that brings more joy to him wearing these watches.
For sure! That's because Spike is awesome
itsKibble Talks Watches totally agree, seems like a super cool guy, I love all of them
Yes Sir!
Benjamin, why do you sound so depressed when you're about to introduce your guests?
Has become his trademark. Kinda hilarious
Hes just a humble guy
Rude
"Don't you just feel better when you have something nice on your wrist?"
Ben: "Yes I do" as he casually wears what appears to be a nice ass Daytona
We dont see too many Lecoultre, Piguet, Constantin, Glasshute Original, etc. on this show but we sure see a lot of Tudors, Rolex and Heuers!
I have seen every Talking watchES episode,no one has a Glashutte..
i think its an American thing guys. Dont worry they are still world wide stunners! Needless to say you know where the second hand market is for these pieces,
Félix show us your collection
Félix 😎
I'm a simple guy. I see Talking Watches, I press like.
But we're still waiting for Archie Luxury's episode
are you serious? whats he got to talk about? 3 or 4 dull watches everyone knows about! why do people always post this like hes some kind of impressive collector?
Its about sharing the love for watches, not who has the most impressive collection. It might not be impressive to you, but it is impressive to others.
nickpap1 Other than the vintage Daytona I'm not into his collection. However, I love his passion for all of his watches. Why does everything have to be a dick measuring competition these days? I am fairly sure he has enough capital to have a box full of Lange, Patek or possibly GF duel tourbillons..... It's all about what makes each collector smile. Who gives a f*ck if he has a Nike?
I was just making a snarky comment man, it's all good in da hood.
"Everybody should be able to get a cool watch" Damn right, I appreciate that. Cool guy, really nice collection.
This episode is the most wholesome episode of Hodinkee Talking Watches. No inflated egos or talk about the inner mechanics of watches, just two guys talking about their love and passion for watches. Hodinkee needs more of this.
Now this is a collection I can relate to. Just buying watches you like, not claiming to know it all and not giving a damn. (I just got the Pelagos LHD and I'm right handed), very very cool and my favorite episode yet. Keep it up Hodinkee team 👍
Ben's kind of a watch snob... if it's not a Rolex, Heuer or something nice... he's not interested.. that cool micro brand Autodromo he didn't like it... it looks totally cool. bah
Gotta love this guy. You know you've made it when you get on Hodinkee to do "Talking Watches".
Spike is a cool guy... watches and porsches, great combo!
My day is better having listened to this episode. I’m pumped to buy another watch. Whoa dummy, you just bought a new watch last week.
he looks like a skinnier older nick swardson lol
Really enjoyable episode. Spike seems like a great guy to hang around and he's very unassuming about his collection. Keep up the great work!
Cars and watches. What else do we men have? Love it. Great episode. Lots of happiness and no women in sight.
iimaniDAVID You forgot fine wine!
But the watches will remain and the cars will be grounded within a decade, unless these are converted to electric... the new hole in the market = converting classic cars into electric... if one wants to ride them after 2030
Motor Cycles ?
You dont have rosegold cockring? Every man should have one.
Cigars are pretty nice too!
Great collection, better guy. Someone who seems to have a good balance to his life and collection. Seems like a good dude!
Haha, I was the 911'th like on this video. Suhweet!
Best episode of talking watches yet! Very enjoyable. And that Tudor Sub, wow 👌
hey benjamin, what happened to you? you used to be a more lively and enthusaistic guy.
You are still too young to appear so settled..
Greetings form Zürich, Switzerland.
lmao Ben always comes across as an old man who has done and seen it all and his time on this Earth is drawing to a close
Well rounded collection, not a dog in the bunch, all the motorsport essentials, classic divers too. Guy has great taste in watches as well as cars. Speedster not a replica it seems, WOW.
NO WATCH FOR YOU!
lol
Spike seems like such a cool, down to earth guy who just likes watches. Shows that you don't have to be an expert to be able to have a nice collection and enjoy fine time pieces. One of the best episodes so far!
Car and watches - perfect combination 😍
Don't forget people to enjoy your life because in 10 Summers were all dead🤣😪🤣
That thing about waiting for the day the date is finally correct, well, I don't mind with the good quickset ones, then its fast and easy, but the non-quickset date, I do wait for the next month to come around before I war it again... Also I have a Enicar day-date who has a finicky quickset date and no quickset day, thats very rarely used because it takes so much time and effort to set it...
To say that everyone should have the same watch in their collection is completely missing the point of having a collection.
0:32 . Can someone explain to me what's so funny about being a receptionist ?
I love the part of Nike Watch, made me literally laughed... such a guy..
Brah, take yo hands out yo pockets
Watched this vdo a couple of yrs ago ...nothing interesting.
Came back after two yrs after getting into " old things".. and seen a lot of collection,
Now this makes sense.
Love it.
Never liked motor inspired watches. Never appealed to me.
Now i crave for them.
u can tell spike loves his life!
That prototype Nike was actually low-key gorgeous!
is this the guy of the hangover??
If you commented this when the video came out, you would be a celebrity by now...
Best episode in the series. I always come back to it.
Same
Dear Ben,
Hire me to produce the audio for your videos. The quality of the content is begging for quality sound...
Cheers
In ten summers...we're all dead.
Great vid! Big fan of spikes work! I too dream to be on HODINKEE talking watches with Ben clymer haha!
Great episode, also love the LandRover in the background. Maybe I'm biased because I have one also cheers
What a cheerful guy who knows what he loves. Kudos to hodinkee
You can keep the Porsche, I'll take the Land Rover. Great video and a great collection!
Cool guy, informative talk!
1:24 what's the squareish blue one? looks interesting
Loved his stories! I used to rep Nike watches and still have quite a few so it was cool to hear he collects them.
Nice Collection. Really like the balance of new and vintage as well as affordable and expensive!
Can someone tell me how guys like Spike Feresten track when their watches need to be serviced? Do they maintain an excel with dates when those were serviced last? Please someone I am curious to know. I know it's 5 or 6 or 8 years wait but how does a collector who has a dozen or more manage it. Or, they just hire a watchmaker for a week every 5 years and get all done in one single batch( the last line was a joke , by the way) :-)
Great episode! Went by so quick, I had two watch it twice!
Tudor is the new Rolex
Maybe someone can explain to me, but I feel like fans of watches tend to be fans of Porsche. I was a huge Porsche guy long before I was introduced to watches, but I see a lot of the talking watches guests also being fans of Porsche
Who knew writers got paid enough to have a stable of classic porsches. Nice touch with the Beetle, showing off those Porsche 911 roots.
Some people collect the hat they love and some people collect what other people love. This guy is the latter.
Great episode, really fun dude with a great collection!
Bro…that intro was the least energy I think I’ve ever felt from someone conscious lol.
Great nice watches, but the collection is kind of boring to me. Safe bets... A true collection is for yourself not to show.
You guys should do an episode about insurance and the different kinds of coverage that you can get or should get for your watches
this guy is great. what a personality.
So these are the people buying those fancy watches on Chrono24...
Any man who has classic Porsche cars... I trust their opinion on quality.
He's got some reasonable collections
That watch bos is amazing? does anybody knows where can I get one of those?
Nicely done, really enjoyable to watch!
i have a phone with a clock. I don't carry a calculator or own a sundial
I'm new to watches, does anybody know the ref to those tag heuer? I'm in love.
Go on hodinkee and search for talking watches tab,look for this episode,they sum up everything im the article
Those Tudor are astonishing !
I need to know from where you got your watch bag please
Nike watch....pure class for a watch collector
Not my style in watches... like more indipendet watch makers (Habring,,Nomos,,Dornbluth und sohn,,Laurent Ferrier,,Lange-Heyne,,Paul Gerber,,Speake Marin,,Voutilainen..etc) but he got nice cars..
Can you please have Magnus Walker on the show? He's a huge porsche collector and mods them, making, "outlaw builds." He is also a big watch collector. Please get him on.
The car he bought at the auction. What’s the model?
It’s true. My wife bought me a lovely GP for our anniversary and even wandering around the house in a pair of shorts, I feel special. She on the other hand has to deal with a half naked middle aged guy with a weird grin on his face…but hey, it must be love, right?
I love Autodromo! I love the automotive base and as a huge car guy myself, I want one so bad. Unfortunately as a teenager, I'm only in the $200 and under range.
ok, there is a lot of money in writing jokes :-D
Oh come on Spike! No mention of that Land Rover?!! Series one or two? It looked immaculate, gorgeous...
This video is so waspy.
Give me the watches, I'll ride the bus....
Why didn't I watch this back when it was originally posted?? Doh..
I think everybody should be able to afford a Daytona,oh yeah an a Porsche.ive got a bashed up old speedmaster mk 2 but no car
so happy to see the Tudor Black Bay Black on here. will you be doing a week wearing one video @Benclymer?
Very nice watches and very nice cars.
Does anyone know what the rust/brown dial watch in the bottom row of his case is? Looks like maybe it has a jubilee style bracelet?
Great interview! At least, much better than that terrible excuse of an interview from another watch blog.
first talking about watch i like all his watchs ...chronographs watchs are my type
Shalom Ben, I'm glad to see you're doing and eating well. I'm off to buy some nato straps and limited watches of your site to support my man. Say hello to Kevin Rose, I wonder if he's still not drinking/drinking coffee - I've lost count of how many times that guy has jumped the bandwagon.
great watches, but where is PP ?
Came for the Heuers and Rolexes, stayed for the Nike Mettle Drill
that steel nike watch is a beauty
What doesnt this guy have? who ever has the most toys ...)you win already.
What a nice guy. Does the Nike watch remind you of something?
Ben, love your interviews, you should try a nice fresh up do, maybe a haircut, some product on the hair, and maybe go down a size on your shirts. You are one classy dude but you dress older than your guest and all of them are twice your age.
He was so underwhelmed by his watch collection he had to start talking about his cars.
When you can match your watches to the car you're driving that day.
I love this ep!
I have a variant the Heuer reissue he mentioned and a variant of the Autodromo he showed. Yay
I've never seen a Breitling top time with this blue dial ....
Please interview Andrew Zimmern, i love his watch collection
