100% agree. If one truly has pure interest and passion for time pieces with disregard for market conditions, then the interest and joy of collecting or just admiring these human made wonders will not be diminished. On the contrary, the talk or thought of market downturn should raise the excitement level as these objects of admiration and desire become more affordable. Well done!
Thank you Sean, I truly appreciate your perspective. 🥂
People become enthralled with everything surrounding watch culture and often forget why they got into watches in the first place, simple enjoyment, appreciation of a timepiece.
I've lost a lot of interest in many watch channels because I've noticed they will never constructively criticize a watch or will only do so with a passing comment about a trivial issue they have with the model they are showcasing. I think the reason many channels refuse to give honest evaluations is they don't want to jeopardize relationships with watch brands or dealers that loan them watches....sad. Unfortunately, I will only learn about the drawbacks from a model in comment sections. I'll give an example; I've come so close to buying a JLC sector dial Master Geographic and not one online review ever mentioned that the crown on the left side which changes the city of the second time zone will actually unscrew off the watch if turned the wrong direction....this watch is $9k! I only learned this bc an honest owner mentioned this flaw in the comment section of a Tim Mosso review. That revelation really soured my opinion on a lot of influencers, unfortunately.
That is such a good point you’ve brought up! I can say I would feel the exact same way as you if I trusted an opinion on a watch I wanted to buy and realised too late there is a significant flaw or defect
Watch channels few years ago used to be real reviews with real watches not pictures or videos by the brands ! People that like watches go to an AD and buy what they like and first research on the official website’s some don’t mention all specs but better go and try it in flesh no cash needed for be spent plus if starting counting how many so called watches experts channels are in TH-cam (not paid to say this is good bla bla ) I bet it’s 90% or even more ! Already keep away and need to unsubscribe all of them some even on begging were very good and educational channels now it’s all about cashhhh in !
Hope you @Michaela have good content and try be honest follow good examples better say true then being controlled by some brands that don’t have any quality!
Obrigado from Portugal!
Fun and a great break from working too much. Love those crazy memes. 🎉
Thank you so much!
I hope,maybe the sooner people get back to appreciating a beautiful present or purchase of a beautiful watch/necklace and maybe future heirloom.
And not thinking how much will this be worth in a couple of years!!
You can’t put a price on a special purchase for a loved one or even for yourself,because whatever the cost may have been high or low.
To think about future value is thoughtless!!
This is so true. In fact, one of the main concepts that inspired this video today.
I’m glad to hear other people feel similarly
I think you could read the telephone directory and I would still be mesmerized
😭😂
Some people are only happy if they are making others feel miserable or a lesser person...Some channels I enjoyed I stopped, because of the people on the chat, not the creator.
Exactly. Thank you for watching, Andrew!
haha! ..i feel like my mother just schooled me!..so annoying that you are right....the last point in particular, i buy watches to make my wrist look good...not because next year its worth more. which is convienient because none of them are worth more!.A breath of fresh air as always Michaela!
My goal has been achieved 🤣😉
Thank you so much!!
What I like about the watch downturn from the high of 2 years ago is it has begun to weed out the fake collectors. As well as the fake watch dealers. Have a great day Michaela!
Thank you, Jim! You as well
You hit on the right issue. Watches became like stocks. Widespread.
🙏🏼

Thank you, monsieur
You are absolutely right on many counts. The problem is that many users are no longer able to think for themselves. They'd rather leave that to their watch gurus on TH-cam. But I still think that anyone can spoil the hobby of “watches” themselves. On the other hand, I think that TH-camrs are also in a dilemma. Because if they don't talk shit anymore, then they don't know what to talk about anymore and are quickly forgotten. For me, watches have always had something magical. For many people today, the magic has been completely lost or was never there.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I believe in many cases, you are very right. People need to step back and breathe
True words, they are destroying one of the best hobbies you can have
Thank you for watching!
I don't have a watch hobby. I over did it collecting Minolta cameras for some reason. I am a Nikon photographer. Is six pair of good leather shoes too extreme? I over do everything. I jump in with both feet. Love you.
Nothing wrong with having a large variety of great shoes! 😊 Thank you!!!
I think the biggest problem I have with many watch channels, with many specific single-pursuit channels for that matter, is that some creators achieve success then end up turning their successful formula upside-down. I can think of several channels (including watch channels) where the creator clearly fell victim to the idea that the channel was about the creator and not the topic. For the most part, I visit a watch channel to see great watches presented by an entertaining and engaging creator, not to see a specific person who just happens to be talking about watches, and inevitably ends up talking about them less and less. It stops being “look at this great watch” and becomes more “look how great I am with this watch.” A number of channels that I once followed faithfully are now largely unwatchable because of this shift.
I don’t know if this makes sense to anyone or not, but I’m not the best at explaining things. This isn’t a criticism that applies to creators who present a wider range of topics, such as yourself or Antonio at Real Men Real Style for example, but only to channels that stick to one specific topic.
Totally understand. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and I appreciate that you watched my video 😊🥂🙏🏼
I know what you mean, and the same thing happens on car channels. There's one channel in particular that I used to enjoy watching years ago, but as the host got more and more successful, it turned more into vlogs about himself. The cars essentially became bit characters used for click bait. Sad.
My favourite watch brands: Cartier, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Piaget and Breguet. Unfortunately very hated brands by many so called watch enthusiasts who probably will never invest some money buying some quality shoes, a nice winter coat or pair of decent denim...
Rolex is completely ruined for me by the social stigma of flex culture and by the type DOUCHEBAG of the watch community.
Having said that I am aware of Rolex highly quality and history when men wear wearing decent clothes and not Balenciaga $1000 hoodies 😅

Thank you for your thoughtful comment. I am so interested in Piaget lately, you just reminded me ☺️
Thank you for watching, cheers!
The channels lose their focus on why they like watches. Once they have a following the channels want to profit from it.
Fair
Nothing to worry about. Its natural for one's obsession or interest about wrist watches to ebb and flow over time. One can aways take a break from the hobby because various channels or creators get burned out trying to produce interesting content. Its not for me to judge others but rather take TH-camrs with a time grain of salt. Thanks for the video.
BTW Great content!
Thank you, Monsieur! 😊
What a stroke of luck! This video appeared out of nowhere but definitely goes somewhere!
What a new and refreshing way to approach and help create-at least for me-a better perception of watches.
Besides, you look like a real Princess from the most beautiful Fairy Tale! 👸🌷
When someone asks me why I should get this or that expensive watch when a quartz watch or a smartwatch is more precise and perhaps has more useful functions, then I answer because I love micromechanics, state-of-the-art technology, and the sense of achievement.
I never buy a watch based on the supposed status it will bring because then the options will be narrowed to the most recognizable brands for the general public: Rolex, Patek...but this will prevent me from discovering many extraordinary brands like Kari Voutilainen, and it also keeps me away from second tiers like Longines.
And yes, there are channels that speak about watches as investments like a sort of stock option and pretend to have the crystal ball about what is and will be going on in the market.
I never see a watch as an investment; I prefer to look into the brand's heritage.
Many congratulations on the fantastic content!
And, you can read for all of us the most boring book and it will be mesmerezing😊❤
Kindest greetings from Mexico 🇲🇽!
Many thanks, Michaela
I am so happy I joined your chanel. You are a great therapist. You have very rich positive hypes .
With love and huge appreciation

Thank you so kindly for your thoughtful comment, Nizar! 🙏🏼 Have a wonderful week ahead
Bonjour Michaela! Happy Sunday morning to you. I finally received my Maurice Lacroix Middle Eastern Aikon dial. Definitely didn’t disappoint the Tiffany blue dial and lumed Mid Eastern numerals are great combination. I’m not gonna watch Fashion Police anymore. I find that constant use of Jesus Christ as swear word very disappointing. One particular person especially in last Fashion Police video was constantly doing that. Thanks Michaela🙏🏼
I’m happy for you, that watch is SO stunning.
As far as WFP, I am sad to hear that you’ll no longer be watching. I understand where you’re coming from though. Have a great Sunday!
i just found your watch content. i really like it. very thoughtful. interesting. great insight. thanks. keep up the great work!
Thank you very much! I appreciate the support
So pleased you got through this without setting your hair on fire 🔥
Phew
It’s hard to tell but I’m actually standing a relatively long distance away
Hi thanks for your excellent content and analysis. You are a positive force.
Thank you so kindly!
Way to go Michaela.
Thank you!
Wise words👍
Merci!
Well said and couldn't agree more. You have an original perspective - love your content. Thank you!
Thank you so much!
Can't hear you, somthing wrong about the audio on this video!
Sorry about that
🔥🔥🔥 Watch Content out there
I just love the 20 $ Timex watch my Mom gave me 32 years ago , my NOS 2002 Rolex DJ , the Wittnauer I wore to both my daughter's wedding, etc etc...just loaded with wonderful nights and life highlights. The wedding watch is black dial with shiny leather strap, perfect for a tux. ETC
That is priceless.
The people who talk about market trends and resale value are just being honest. Watch collecting is not a cheap hobby. The funds have to come from somewhere. If someone can make their watch hobby pay for itself why not? It beats killing weekends at a second job. Watches are an accessory. People's tastes and needs change. A dress watch that looks great with a suit is worth it if you wear suits all day. If a new job is more business casual or is work from home part of the time someone might want a different watch. People have children. A Cartier Tank is no match for parents chasing toddlers. People have to hustle to make money. People's tastes change. Thats just life.
I in no way think it is a problem to talk about the reality of the financial aspect. However, people become OBSESSED.
@@Michaeladechatillon People get obsessed with many parts on this hobby and hobbies in general. You wanna whip up people into a froth? Talk about plastic parts in Tissot watch movements or Gibson anything in guitar communities.
There’s an idea.
Look, it’s no issue for me personally what people get into. I just wanted to point it out for anyone who’s been feeling weird lately, maybe a healthy reality check for a rare few
SORRY Missed everything after 1:43..😎❣🙏🙏🙏
So is that a yes?😇
M, way to stick yr head out and say it
🙏🏼🙏🏼
Can you wear your mollison blouson black leather jacket fully zipped in another video?
Suscribed to your channel 😊
why do you talk like that?
Why do you think
Would you prefer her to speak as we all suspect you do? Uneducated and profanity laced in commoner lingo?
@@ShortyBlackwellWatches😂
Boring... May I suggest a bikini try on haul or something?
This gave me the ick
@@Michaeladechatillon Enjoy the buzz...
