Talking Watches With Keegan Allen

- The name Keegan Allen might not ring a bell to many in our audience, but mention it to anyone under the age of 21 years old and be be prepared for a full-fledged meltdown. Keegan is an actor, and a well-known one at that - his hit show Pretty Little Liars ran for seven seasons and was a runaway success. The series finale, for example, saw more than four million social media reactions and over 1.4 million viewers. Keegan's personal instagram account itself has over six million followers. The young actor could easily be just another face in the crowd, but speak to him once and you know he's just different. He's artistic and sensitive, thoughtful and pensive, spiritual and emotional. He's a poet, and a working photographer. In fact, his latest book Hollywood: Photos and Stories From Foreverland will hit shelves tomorrow. For the full story, go to www.hodinkee.c...

This is one of my favourite episodes because it is a genuine collection where every piece has a reason and a place. +Big respect for wearing a vintage sub swimming, not caring about losing the pearl and rocking the mickey mouse. Cool dude in my book.
pilotstyle123 I couldn't have said it better!!!
This is the 36th episode and I still haven't seen a talking watch. False advertising.
Cool nice humour😜😜😜😜😜
Such a disappointment and yet we come back
🙄😂 what a dad joke!
Casio data bank my guy
"he's out of line but he's right"
Next: Talking watches with Keegan Allen's uncle
He passed away last spring. I very much wish he could have been on this show.
Keegan It would be amazing if you showed his collection
Keegan great episode one of the best so far!
Please HODINKEE
@@keeoone87 kudos. I come back to this every so often to remind myself not to take myself too seriously. Cheers homie. Sorry for your loss.
I cannot express how much I like how humble and down to earth Keegan Allen is. He swims with his vintage Rolex. He got into watches through a quartz Mickey mouse watch and he is happy wearing quartz watches as well as mechanicals. Very genuine. He enjoys it based off of his views alone and doesnt seem to care what others think.
He’s wearing the one John Mayer said you wear when you got some real shit at home... John was right
This episode is becoming as good as John Mayer’s. I’ve watched it a few times now.
YES.
It would be nice to have this guy talking with John Mayer about the watches
Great episode. I have no idea who this guy is since I haven't seen his show, but it was cool to see how enthusiastic and excited he is about watches. Most, probably because of age, are more reflective when discussing watches, it's a cliche but this was full of youthful exuberance which was really pleasant to see.
The fact that his dad sold his Sub for a Tag tells you he's a true watch lover.
It takes guts to admit that maybe a certain watch isn't for you, despite its brand and status.
Cool collection. Love the fact he swims in his vintage subs, exactly as they were intended to be used. That tag is great too.
Down to earth guy... liked the collection! Great to see fun watches along side serious hitters!
One of the best episodes so far!
I laughed out loud. The sarcasm is strong with this one.
I think Ben was laughing half the time and trying his best not to show it.
Lol, thank you Hodinkee and Keegan...since this episode the Gevril went from being readily on Amazon to having to be hunted down and needless to say the price has been adjusted. I love the everything “Ben touches turns to gold” phase of HODINKEE. I mean that! Genuinely happy for him and the team. But golly!
I love that he has a Tag Heuer in his collection. I hope it made people's heads explore.
I love Talking Watches! Isn't it interesting that many collectors fathers were essentially one watch warriors? I love seeing these worn out watches that older generations put through the paces, using them as a daily tool and not swapping through watches weekly (or sometimes multiple times a day in many of our cases). The watch captures so much more soul since it was there through everything, not just a number in a massive collection.
Genuine and honest fellow. Actually a watch guy. What a wonderful interview. I wish the episodes were 30 minutes +! Cannot get enough of them.
Man, I so fall asleep with my watch under my ear! I also thought I was the only one xD
Keegan Allen seems to be a nice guy, I hope he keeps having fun with his watches.
11:10 What sort of magic was that with the deployant on the Patek? That looked... badass.
It’s the magic of Patek!
Butterfly clasp
Don't know about anyone else, but I was glad to see the Heuer 2000 mentioned in a TW episode! Certainly never expected it. I have a 1989 Super 2000, and it's the watch I reach for by default when I get up every day. I love it despite its slightly awkward and clunky late-80s design, and for its Lemania chonograph movement, and - most importantly, to me - was given to me by my dad.
Tags are nice, i have some also
None of those watches do it for me, but great to see somebody so genuine and passionate about their collection.
I have no idea who he is. But this is my favourite Hodinke video. But he has introduced me to patek travel time and the 1675 Blueberry. Both I never knew they existed until I saw this video.
Damn this guy is a legit watch admirer,you can say from the passion in his language.
Yea, he falls asleep to the sound of his watch.
Love how Keegan phrases his “reminder to not take himself too seriously” for his Mickey Mouse watch in the exact same way Dan Brown describes Robert Langdon and why he wears the same Mickey Mouse watch in every one of his books since Angels and Demons in 2000.. coincidence?
Unintentional plagiarism is my guess - he must have read it 15 years ago and thought he came up with it somewhere along the way. But yes almost line for line what Dan Brown wrote.
An amazing episode! Very personal but entertaining!
Ben's salmon dial Royal Oak is absolutely stunning. Is that a perpetual calendar?
>implying it's his
Well...He is wearing it. But hey! Just for you, next time, I'll refer to it as "Is that watch on Ben's wrist that may or may not be his...".
I despise salmon dials, I just don’t get it
+1, absolutely stunning piece and stole the segment without even trying... couldn't stop looking at it. the salmon contrasts so incredibly against the wg.
The going to bed watch “chime” comment he made, I knew he’d mention that when going to bed. I do the same thing brotha, works every single time. 👍🏾
Great Episode Hodinkee. That Guy Got Passion 🤗
I love his collection , love the stories behind every watch , PS that black dial Tiffany & Co is stunning !!
I could feel his love for his watches and really enjoyed his stories:)
So everyone can have there opinions on homages. But the Gevril Tribeca deserves a special treat. It was made while the Daytona had next to no hype. Making this homage shows that they really appreciated the design and not just grinding money out of something stolen.
Best talking watches ever, beautiful collection.
Legit episode! Good mix of serious and fun watches combined with good stories and real emotion. Keegan knows his stuff too.
If Keegan needs a watch to put him to sleep he needs an Accutron hummer.
what a nice bloke
Great episode - charismatic guy, and I love that he still uses his tool watches as tool watches. But Ben's AP...that is another level.
"I got into watches in a really unconventional way." - Talks about being influenced by family.
Yeah just like most people. Not unconventional. Just a usual backstory.
Love this guy's enthusiasm though. Enjoyed this chill and fun interview.
Also the way he talks is a little similar to John Mayer. I don't know if he was influenced or just coincidentally. No problem with that. Just noticed.
Drifting Dwarf For me it’s the exact opposite. My family could care less for watches but it’s my passion and it has been for a couple years. But whenever I try to talk about watches to any family member besides my uncle, everyone just gets bored
Huge props to a collector who is sincere about his passion and wears them as the tools they are.
Also not being a Rolex fan that is the first time I've heard about or seen that Blueberry GMT. Now I don't think my life will be complete until I own one ...
Watches & fly fishing. Sounds good! 👌 👍
I really enjoyed this video.. I saw keegan in the farmers market at third and fairfax taking photos.... I was going to ask him about watches but we were busy inside the toy store.
A great collection!! Thanks to Hodinkee and Allen for sharing!!👌🏻👌🏻✨😍
Gr8 talking watches again...but still waiting for the first female collector to show. I suggested Ellen DeGenres b4...she seems to be a collector...vintage too.
I think they've mentioned they had someone lined up for it and Cara was hosting
Please no
No Cara please...
ED Justice Are you kidding me? Please.... there's only so much feminist entitlement I can take. At this level of watch collecting you think there is a single female collector with the required knowledge and appreciation of horology? And don't mention that beast, she/it is not even normal and just collects blingy Rolex what a fkin joke dude
gmshadowtraders, I think your calendar it a bit out dude, it's 2018, not 1918. You sound like an inbred southern baptist who doesn't think evolution is real and that earth was created by god 6000 years ago.
Loved the Gevril Tribeca...amazing....
I think this is my favourite talking watches. Such a cool guy and wonderful collection!
He's absolutely right about that chime sound.
Wow. This is maybe better, if not at least equal to John Mayer's Talking Watches. So many stories attached to his watches. Amazing
Keegan Allen’s Uncle = Robert Langdon
SERIOUSLY, THIS IS A VERY ,VERY GOOD HOST.
I always sleep with my watches lol childhood habit
Same here...
Same
Even if I totally understand I can't bring myself to do it, I'm too paranoid I feel like I'll roll over and snag or knock it against something and the thought of waking up with a ruined watch would haunt me.
Bob Joe hahaha even my Mrs dose the same well I don't wear my more fragile watch's to bed it would be like a 1960 Tudor oyster or a 2002 Rolex gmt so proper "tool" watch's I won't wear my AP or if i ever get a patek to bed I just feel like I'll wake up and rush to work with no watch now that's a NIGHTMARE!!!
@@bobjoe1593 I have been sleeping with a Speedmaster on my wrist for over a decade. Nothing has ever happened except that your leather straps wear out faster.
I didn't know Keegan but I liked him within 2 mins....
BTW I have the TAG 2000 (the same shown here) from my grandpa and it was the 1st watch I ever experienced and now I wear it...
Cheers!!
"Wearing a watch as a timer" NEVER thought of that!
honestly maybe my favourite episode thus far... his enthusiasm is infectious and he seems super genuine about his passion- not to mention it's so awesome he actually wears them and beats them up.
Agreed, i like to listen to the tick of my watches too. It gives a different sort of feeling.
Man, I love these videos. I thought I was weird with my clock obsession since a young age (still have my first watch though it doesn't tick anymore) and I find all these other crazy dudes that just loves watches and appreciate the engineering, passion and knowledge that are put in to these timekeepers. Apparantely a lot of plp had the clock interest before they had the financial means to realize their clock fantasies and it is just not a way of flashing their wealth. I myself can not yet afford the clock(s) on my list but I will get there.
Cool kid. I'm interested in more than just Rokex and Pateks, though. This guy actually wears his watches and has meaning to why. Good interview. I just got my first Seiko, radio sync solar and it's the nicest watch I've ever had. I will wear it proudly and be happy I was able to buy it, for 135. There you go.
"The best watch collector is the person who actually wears his watches for what they were intended to do"
-Somewhere in the depths of hoodinke
I like all the Talking Watches episodes but somehow this one seems very endearing to me. Great to hear about how Keegan's father inspired his interest in watches and how he still finds his dad in the memory of a watch, no matter what it is. Just Wonderful!
Love this edition. Such passion in watches! Excellent collection that this gentleman should be proud of.
that salmon dial royal oak perpetual that Ben is wearing is bonkers
Good for this guy, but I’m getting super bored of everyone having the same Rolexes and I know I can’t be the only one.
I understand but remember TW is about the stories of the watches too. I mean a 1680 is not a hard watch to find but the story of his dad was cool to hear. If you just want to look at rare pieces just check out Phillips or Christie's auctions catalogs and you will find some pieces that you haven't seen before. Having said that, I really hope they do Episode II of Goldberger, Paramico and others that sure bring HEAT.
I know, but when everyone has the same watch/brand, it gets uninteresting
You can have it both ways. Rare/obscure watches with interesting stories. Episodes that feature passionate collectors with specific tastes such as Goldberger, Paramico, Maleh, and Madhvani are the best in the series. Guests who aren't as knowledgable or experienced like this guy are interesting too, but it doesn't compare.
BRAVO ! grossly overrated sick and tired of Rolex there is far better out their with out the stupid prices how do i know i own them !!
A great watch gets its value from the workmanship and the various complications, not a bunch of blingy novelty to make them attractive to tasteless rappers, sports personalities et,c. A watch is not meant to be ostentatious, they are meant to be cherished by ladies and gentlemen of good taste. They are not billboards for screaming "LOOK AT ME !"
when I was a teenager my mother bought me a Rolex explorer it went back to Rolex
many times as it's time keeping was awful they never did get it to work properly
there are a wealth of stunning hand crafted watches out there I own many of them and the prices are sensible the other thing is I would not want a watch that was worn by the majority of brain dead footballers who just follow the herd with the degenerate bad taste
And what would you be eluding to @the empire?
Wow!! He is true enthusiasts…real man
Seems like a nice guy with a passion for his watches. Exactly the sort of person we need to see more of on talking watches.
The way this gentleman articulated his love of watches is nothing short of poetry. Never heard of him before this video, but I hope he has a long and fruitful career. Strong work finding this watch enthusiast Hodinkee 😉
One of the most interesting episode!
Keegan, I have to say this is one of my favorite watch related video's period. Don't pay attention to the negative BS comments!
It’s all in good fun, I still watch this with so much happiness. A true fan of the dink!
This is one of my favourite talking watches
This is what Horology and a collection is all about......so many collectors have pieces that mean nothing to them...
One of the best clean collections yet from talking watches imho.
Great video True Watch lover 👍👍👍
Very cool collection.
I would buy that Tiffany watch anyday!
I do exactly what he does to sleep at times. Its just something about the appreciation of a ticking sound of countless of parts moving together to create art, puts me down to sleep.
This was probably my favorite episode of Talking Watches hands down.
Are you drinking again? ?Niaga gniknird uoy arA I wrote that just in case you are so you can read it.
Thank you for checking it out!
omg I NEED that tiffany watch
Great video. Nice collection.
Mr. Ben Clymer we have been asking you for years for talking watches with, well, you! The cool hunting video does not count. You gotta do it, kid.
Dang.. I do the sleeping with a watch thing... I love the ticking. It's so relaxing.
I wear a tuning fork seamaster and when I have my hand under my pillow I hear a super loud buzzing like sleeping on a generator.
A great talking watches episode. Seems a humble man, with a humble collection.
It's refreshing to see someone who actually uses a Submariner to actually dive. Great collection.
Another good show Thank you. Don't know if I would take that 1680 in the water though and I definitely would NOT HAVE TRADED IT for a Tag, but that's just me. Keegan has a real passion for watches and it comes out in this video which made for a good episode
I fall asleep to my watch escapement too.
So his Uncle is Robert Langdon from the DaVinci Code. Would have been a lot cooler if it was one of the earlier Timex Mickey Mouse watches , back when Timex had the exclusive rights to it. But anywho, I actually liked the Tiffany one the best, the patina gave it such a a great look. And I don't think it looked too small, can totally get away with it in a Tux Love the connection of the watches to the family members.
I want that Disney watch... 😂
Best episode after the Three John Mayer’s episodes hahaha
This is the best talking watches
Soo high watching this... made me buy an IWC TG 5020-01 just for shits and giggles.
this guy looks like a very slim Doug Demuro
Haha, now I know I'm not the only one sleeping with my watch on. Great collection by the way
The boy is sooo enthusiast and excited, he makes me happy.
Ben does a fantastic job at letting his guests talk without interrupting, interviewer extraordinaire
Isn't the quote about the Mickey Mouse reminding his uncle to not take life seriously, from a Dan Brown novel? Robert Langdon always wore a Mickey Mouse watch, and I am pretty sure he says the same line.
Abhayjeet Bal He does, also Tom Hank's character (Langdon) in the movie "Inferno". I thought I was the only one who notice that lol..
Alvaro Perez . Yes, He probably got it from the movie. This Tinseltown man-teen doesn't come across as a character who actually read books. -Other than his own Hollywood Hills fotobook. His alleged poetry, which I never have or will read, can only be recycled/stolen banalities.
Maybe you should check it out instead of feigning knowledge about a subject you know not of? Www.KeeganAllenBook.com
Keegan . Your Assumptions about my knowledge in certain areas will get you nowhere.
You've been caught red-handed in stealing an anecdote from a novel. Any level headed person would wonder what else you copy? -But would immediately come to the conclusion that you are just another Hollywood product.
Thanks for the link, but no thanks.
tons834848 as will your assumptions get you right where you are. I have not gotten where I am by allowing people like you. I feel for you, truly. I am sorry you couldn’t enjoy the episode. Nothing was stolen, it was a part of my life. Perhaps, my uncle had brought that watch mentality into his life from this novel you speak of, or it was a happy coincidence. Either way, talking watches has always been a place that I enjoyed coming to find others who felt as I did about appreciation for all timepieces. You have painted some pretty outlandish assumptions about my life that you clearly don’t know, but you care enough to comment AND continue. I hope you find great successes in your journey through life and you don’t continue to hold onto such resentments. You don’t wear it well... but anyway, all the best.
Now this is a watch guy！
probably my favorite talking watches
Very good episode my favorite I think.
Beautiful cameras. Fujifilm X100s + Tele conversion lens & Leica M10 + 35mm Summilux pre ASPH
Loved it. Such a cool guy.
he has a well rounded collection indeed thanks for the awesome video as usual Hodinksters
Interesting. I also like falling asleep to the ticking of the mechanical watch I am wearing. Nice video. Thanks, Hodinkee!
humble fun guy. Seems real
So true about the white gold... :)
I just love how he’s so cool while his guest is freaking out. Really cool interview style I enjoy the episodes with him the most
