WATCHES OF FORMULA 1

- Watches of Formula 1. F1 is all about speed and measuring speed is a vital component of the sport so it’s little surprise that watch companies flock to the sport as partners and sponsors.
There are 6 watch companies sponsoring 8 Formula 1 teams, while one sponsors the sport as a whole. In this video I’ll introduce you to each one of the companies, show you some of the watches they provide drivers and tell you which driver wears the most expensive watch and which two wear the least expensive?
CORRECTON: Sergio is wearing an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Tourbillon Chronograph worth around US$240k.
Nico Rosberg's Submariner is the green faced "Hulk", not the black faced "Kermit". AND to my surprise, I can confirm that Romain Grosjean actually races with this Richard Mille watch on.
Prices quoted in the video are approximate and in US$.

Next video: Oil brands in F1.
I’m not the man for that video I promise you
Kym is more an photographer with alot of bio info of drivers who enjoys what he does. If you want to see Oil Brands in F1 you gotta check the F1 teams site and go to partners ; )
I'm willing to bet you can't buy it at Autozone.
Watches, particularly expensive watches are a lifestyle/fashion thing. Mere mortals simply don't get it.
@@terryrobertson8382 Haas is sponsored by Peak, which makes lubricants and even windshield wiper fluid, and can be found just about anywhere here in the U.S .
I didn’t even know Renault had a watch sponsor until this
Glad you learnt something
@@KymIllman and previously the were sponsored by TW Steel
Man U should see some of the watches Dani has worn :o
It's ironic that Racing Point have no watch sponsor, yet Checo collects nice watches. He tends to buy them at significant points in his career as a reward to himself.
Not like he's getting trophies so no other choice really 😆
No one like to sponsor the bad drivers dads team xD
@@geert574 hahaha
@@jounaas And they beat Ferrari this season so far!
Yeah lol
Next video: Kym’s scarf tour
I'd rather watch Kimi's glasses tour ;)
@@jackbauer4607 You must be fun at parties
Kym flexing on us left right and center
More flexing coming up
Imagine what Williams could do with the $1,000,063 that Kimi’s watch costs!
A dream come true for them.
$1,063,000 not $1,000,063
Segio Perez's watch isn't a Hublot, it's an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore.
D3Vlicious correct! U know your staff.
Glad I'm not the only one thinking that Hublot looked suspiciously like a Royal Oak... :P
@Steve thomas "Tag haven't been a long time sponsor of red bull" the RB14 (2018) still had Tag decals though
Yep it's clearly Audemars Piguet.

Nico was wearing a hulk, not a kermit, there is a big difference
caio peres Thank You 😂
The color of the dial is the only difference. I wouldnt say its a big one.
@@ianraffel6535 it's a huge one, because they are totally different watches, in teh movement, materials that are used as well te value in both of them
@@caiohenriqueperesdeoliveir4593 Nice! My bling of choice these days is extra cheese on my Kraft Dinner.
caio peres OK boomer.
I love how informational your videos are!!!
Nice video. One about sunglasses would be interesting.
That's a pretty fire watch for the iceman Kimi! 👀🔥
I did not expect much, but this was well researched, thanks! Make this a yearly series!
i have no interest in watchs. didnt know that it's THAT expensive.
Please do a video about sunglasses too, Kym!
Okay sunglasses will be coming up once the season starts
@@KymIllman well only brand of sunglasses matters. Persol. If Ferrari had them onboard ,instead of Ray Ban they would dominate. Both are part of the group, but R/B made in China- Persol made in Italy.
@@burdineestep4224 RayBan is made in both Italy and China
I dont understand why the hell those thing costs that much? They just tell the time and nothing else
@@jounaas kym have said it in the video. if it's more than 10 dollar then it's not just to tell time anymore. and that's why i dont ever bother to buy one. i have my phone.
Excellent video! Subscribed 👍🏼
Really like your videos and thanks for keeping the F1 fans entertained during the Winter break 😁
Thanks for viewing
My favorite watch brand in F1 is edifice. Great watches, reasonable prices.
I've been wearing a watch pretty much everyday of my life ever since I was 10 years old but I've just found out I don't know anything about watches lol Nice content as always, Kym!
It took me a long while to research this video I promise you
Really do like watching your Videos. Keep up the amazing effort.!
These videos are great kym. loved it.
I’m happy to hear that mate
I love your videos. You're a fantastic speaker by the way! ;-)
This is a great video Kym & co thank you. Also he had to get a flex in there and show off his own watches lol
Williams has had a long relationship with Oris; a lot of Williams-branded watches from them came out in the early 2000s
soggysadboi yes I have a 2006 Oris watch from those times. They where only 3200 dollars
Very cool video, Kym. Keep the intruiging F1 paddock insights coming!
You bet.
Interesting Content As Always
welcome to another round of guess Kyms background.. you're making me hungry Kym! 😁😁 [also lmao at that shot in the end]
Very interesting. I’ve learned a lot. Thank You
You’re welcome
Sergio Perez is wearing an AP Royal Oak Offshore. Safari model to be exact.
A really in depth video of the watches!
1:38 humble flex lol love your videos keep em' coming.
will do.
No one:
The sauces in the background: We are throphies
looking for this. WHY tho? WHYYYY???
He has Hatsune Miku figure too
I have to remember that quote: "If you spend more than $10 on a watch, you are not buying it just to tell the time".
Damn. That's a profound quote.
Great video. I actually collect F1 watches, the ones I can afford anyway. Looking forward to seeing what the partnerships bring out this year.
Nice video. All Motorsports fans and usually watch fans. Might be fun to explore Heuer’s wonderful vintage history and drivers.
great video, great pictures!
Thanks Oscar. Glad I grabbed your attention
The watch Sergio Perez is wearing is not a Hublot, it's an Audemars Piquet Offshore
Edit: not strange to confuse them, both are inspired by portholes. 'Hublot' even is French for porthole..
You’ve watched Mr Biver
Oh my gosh! Kimi's watch is starting in millions. Starting to get into the "Paul Newman Daytona" range.
250 k
Great video!!!!!
Thank you, Kym!
As a burgeoning horologist, this is right up my alley!
Have been a Tag fan since they sponsored McLaren Mercedes, 'back in the day'.
The Fashion/Glamour aspect of F1 is one of the things that has contributed to maintaining my interest. Don't know that another sport exists that manages to incorporate that as seamlessly into its fabric.
Keep up the great work!!!
Thanks for your feedback. More videos to come this week.
Richard Mille is such a good advertiser because the first time I noticed their watch was on Lando's wrist and I thought to myself what a sick design for a watch, I then started seeing it more often on the F1 track especially Grosjean's signature Red Richard Mille. But yeah Richard Mille's unique design is probably the reason I even noticed their watch.
Excellent video Kym! Can you do one on sunglasses please lol?
Yes
These videos of watches have made me like them for style
My favorite watch is Ulysses Nardin Freak, Hope one day I can see them on track.
Awesome video 🙌 I’m a big watch nut!
The “maxi” green dial Sub is called the Hulk. The older style dial is called the Kermit.
yep, as the comment in the description
Isn’t Charles himself sponsored by Richard Mille?
Yes
Not only him, most of the past and current F1 drivers are having their own limited edition tied up with Richard Mille...if I am not wrong, on the current grid 6 drivers hold limited edition watch sponsors with RM. past drivers, Alonso..Massa having partnership with Richard Mille..! RM is having special edition watched like Mclaren releasing limited edition cars every year😅 in the watch world, classic watch collecting people don’t like RM but they are one of the biggest brand globally now.
@@thelionking3321 you don't know what you're talking about. Many "classic" watch collectors do love RM very much so. Their watches are true high horology. There isn't 6 current drivers with RM watch special editions and Royal Oak Offshore has most of the driver special editions.
Jackie Stewart wasn’t sponsored by Rolex in the 1950s; his Grand Prix debut wasn’t until 1965. It’s worth mentioning that The big time keeper/sponsor of the 1950s (and 1960s) was Longines.
That shot at the end. Classy......
as a watch fan and an F1 fan, thanks for this video
Wow did you take these pics yourself? They are so awesome!
Thanks Kym for another good one. If it has to do with F1 and its coming from you, my click and eyeballs are guaranteed!
I’m happy to read that
ketchup and mayo? i could murder a mayonaise right now.. great video Kym.. your helping with my F1 withdrawal symptoms
The Bell & Ross logo in the Renault is in a genius location as it is seen in the mirrors when watching the car camera
Great video 👍🏼. I own a 150SGD Edifice Casio.
And they have watches even cheaper than that
I really enjoyed watching this video. I will subscribe. I bet the Casio is most accurate.
Being quartz I reckon you’d be right.
@@KymIllman Yes Quartz is incredibly accurate.
charles' hublot is stunning 😍😍😍
Monsieur Leclerc is stunning in many ways.
gre mbiule only one with a buss down 🥶
Considering how rich he is belonging to Monaco royal family, i wouldn’t be surprised if he buys 51% of Hublot’s brand itself!😅 dude got talent and money...👍
It's repugnant. As are pretty much all Hublots. All bling. Just tacky.
@@chuckschillingvideos Rather have bling than spend an extra million dollars for a 'more technical' mechanical feature
RIP Lando’s watch.
love your videos - btw - are you sponsored by Heinz and Hellmanns?:)
Soon
I must ask why do you have mayo and ketchup on the shelf? Haha. Cracking vid btw.
So that people ask why do I have mayo and ketchup on the shelf
Seriously, do an episode on your scarves. I totally dig them 👍✌️
This was a good video it would be even better if you could update it later this year and i would like to know what model you found charles wearing, anyone know?
For me the best F1 watches were:
-Tag Heuer Kirium F1 - Digital + Analog perfectly matching the design of the mclaren F1 car
-2006 Tag Heuer Carrera CV2014.FT6007 on black rubber strap, black dial, with the chrono hands all red, a true motorsports feel to it
-2006 Certina DS podium black, this was a cheap watch, with a quartz movement, paired with a black carbon strap from hirsch with the red stiches, it looked a lot more expensive in real life, accesible to everyone, very accurate, analoge 10th of a second measurement. Certina were sponsors of Sauber back then.
-And finally my favourite one, another accessible model, i own myself /1996 model sourced from near the Imola race track/ with an amazing movement, the Omega Mk40. This watch on the black leather omega strap with white stiches was the ultimate f1 car feel to your wrist. First of all it was expensive, but not mad expensive. One of the first watches Michael worn as an omega ambassador during many race weekends, you can spot it on quite a few podium and race weekend pics. Its analog movement featured Seconds-Minutes-Hours-24 hours-day-date-month-chrono seconds-chrono minutes-chrono hours. The red chrono hands, the yellow tip on the date hand, white hands, and the blue on the black/blue 24hours/seconds dial, were the colors of the 96 Ferrari F1. /Red - Car's main color/-/Yellow - shell and ferrari logo/-/Blue - pioneer logo/-/White - Marlboro livery/ - /Black - marlboro livery, front and rear wings/. While some label the dial too busy, due to it's relatively small size, and thanks to the anti reflection coated crystal, once you see this piece in real life, start the chrono and watch the red hand smoothly sweeping around, you will understand the beauty of it straight away. /Some would bring the daytona up, but as myself who owned one, i can honestly say, i found it nothing but a showpiece. It's not something that can be used to compliment an active lifestyle, the hands are hard to read, and it just never sung to me, so i was glad to sell it on/
And while the mk40 is not for everyone, you'll struggle to find a better alternative for a watch that gives you a better feel of what F1 was back in 1996, or the 90's. When the cars sounded right, looked right, tracks looked great with the various sponsor logos. They gave a feel/vibe to them, not like the mega boring Rolex/Heineken all green, that's just plain ugly. It's interesting to note, that while Rolex prides themselves on their ambassadors, they entered F1 in the worst possible age, not to mention, Mark Webber and Nico Rosberg aren't exactly considered overly the greatest in F1 history. This is not to say they weren't good drivers, but no match to the other Rolex guy, Jackie Stewart.
very nice presentation.
so the best thing of being alfa romeo driver is the watch :)
i like tag heuers a lot so i would have to go to ferrari just to get the watch
if you ask kimi what he thinks about he would say boah its just a watch to me while his watch costs more than many of us will ever make in our lifes
to my knowledge, Richard Mille requires their drivers to wear the watches while racing to showcase how they can perform in conditions where most watches wouldn't be ideal. Plus the watches are Quartz TPT which is carbon fiber they weigh usually about 34 grams. Quarts refer's to the pattern not the material. Hope this helps
Love your content, what's with the Heinz and Hallmann's on the shelf?
I like them.
If I'm not mistaken Filipe Massa used to wear his RM while he races
Arif Azmi yeah, he is the early guy RM got roped into sponsor. They sponsored him in F1...he is having two special edition watch named to himself. One is Sainz wearing and the other one is having Brazilian flag embedded in it, which costs somewhere around 100 to 500thousand dollars.
Richard Mille has a Massa series of watches he was the first driver to test the RM by wearing it in a race...
can you do sunglasses video for F1 drivers ?? everyone is wearing them !
Those pictures are sharp
Why do you have a bottle of ketchup and mayo in the background?
Great video. Informative as always
Maybe he likes the combination.
So people ask, why do you have a bottle of catch up and mayo in the background
The condiments are there to add a bit of flavour to the show 😉
Are you hoping for the " Ketchup and Mayo, should be refrigerated" comment?. Certainly never knew some of the time pieces are some 6 figures, ouch!.Kimi's watch needs a bodyguard 😨.
Great vlog, thanks for sharing.
My pleasure
0:52 Mayo and Ketchup just chilling there
12:57 I was thinking 870K but it breaks the 1 million mark XD
I love watches . It’s like a new dress you wear .
Love your vids. Just one note on the submariners (yours v nick's).. Yours looks like it has the black dial which means it's the "Kermit". Nick's had the green dial, making it a "hulk".
I was given a submariner date two-tone 16613, steel and yellow gold with black face by my father on my 21st. Something I will cherish forever.
That’s right, see my comments in the description
I'm such a peasant i didn't know that IWC or Hublot were watch brands.
Interesting video. I find RM to be a waste of money but however as a F1 fan I'm also fascinated by their relation with the sport. Like Kimi, Grosjean also has his own signature model. Lando Norris doesn't have his signature model but the one seen here is the McLaren model with the same color scheme as their F1 car. Btw F1 teams sponsored by Richard Mille also has the logo printed on the halo, so they get a lot of tv exposure. Felipe Massa, one the early ambassadors of the brand (and the first in F1) used to wear his watch during races, in fact it was made to be worn during races, it weighs 43 grams. I don't know if other drivers wear their watches during races now but back then he was the only one to do so (i don't know if he still wears it in FE as well) you can also see that some of the RM models are based after the FM model. Felipe Massa probably changed the watch game for racing.
Nice hellmans in the background❤️
I love that stuff.
My G flexing the watch
Felipe massa was wearing his Richard mille during qualifications when he go his accident in 2009. Idk if he was wearing it during races too.
Please make one on driver and team member's personal and sponsored car
Edit: Also don't forget Red Bull rebadged the Renault PU as Tag Heuer PU between 2016-2018
So interesting topic! I have a impression that Rolex is sponsor for a team of F1 racing team, Longgines for horse racing. And Citizen for Mitsubishi rally racing teams. Pulsar for supper V8 racing in Australia.
Rolex sponsors F1. They don’t sponsor any individual team
Now I know why Romain crashes often, he’s just reading the time!
I went and had a look at the Edifice Casio watches and they are very very nice for an incredible price, they roughly go for around 150 euros and look better than most watches featured on the grid.
A filipino f1 fan thanks for sharing informations of the f1 sponsors father also on their personL photos. Still a lando norris fan new f1 becAuse of lando😊😊 Godbless hope that people see's your uploads and subscribe😍
No problem 👍
@kymillman I enjoyed the video, but I have a question. Do you know what watch Jenson Button has been wearing recently as a Sky Sports commentator? I write this just after the British GP. Thank you.
I do not I’m afraid.
Great video for watch enthusiasts. Nico’s watch in video is Hulk, not Kermint. Hulk is all green, Kermit is from 2003 and only has green bezzel.
Keep up the good work!! 👌
Yeah I had a good look at that after the video was published and thought then that Nico’s had the green face not the black face like mine
Nice watch's and super expensive. Just to tell time. Fossil is nice I have few of them.
Casio the legend.....never feels down with your own
Great video now richard mille are sponsoring ferrari aswell im sort of sad hublot have gone probably my favourite watch company
I remember couple of years ago it was common that after the race in cool down room drivers were always putting on watches,they dont do it anymore perhaps it was rolex and they have stoped now
I thought they were still doing that But when I look back to all of my podium picks it was rare to find any driver with their watch On
@@KymIllman Yeah it might have been some sort of a rolex deal similar to pirreli when they only wear pirreli caps on the podium
I just come here for this man’s drip tbh
Can you see the exact time in your Picture File? Would be funny to which whatch is most offset in time haha
Cant be happier with my G-Shock GWG-1000. Tells the time to the second accurate and is tough as
woodpecker lips.
Kym, that's an Audemars Piguet on Checo's wrist :) (noticeable with its lugs - 2 prongs attached to the rubber strap)
What’s with the tomato sauce n Mayo ?
That’s so people ask, “ what’s with the tomato sauce and mayo”
Fair enough 👌🏼😂
Hhahaha. Was going for the same question. My mind went immediately to Mercedes engineer videos with all the subtle banter props. Kudos!
Condiments of F1.
It's catsup !
Glad that the Heinz Ketchup and Hellmann's Mayonnaise have taken pride of place on the shelf!
Perfect accompaniments for a hot dog
Can you do some cool F1 composites?
lol Hellman's in the back nice
Kym is sponsored by hellmans
You should do a video on the main sponsors of the teams
I will note the suggestion, thank you
Kym the tyre lamp in the background could you let me know where I could get one please.
Was made by my son. It is not a commercially available item
You should think about making a video about clothing companies in F1
Definitely recall seeing multiple drivers climb out of the car after a race taking their gloves off revealing a watch, as an artist I always pay attention to the fine det
