This 20-Minute Video Will Teach You About Watch Collecting & The History Of The Modern Timepiece Industry
Did you know that we, at HODINKEE, have published hundreds of professionally shot, highly produced videos on watches over the span of the last few years? You can see them all on our Youtube page. One video, originally published in June of 2014, the HODINKEE editorial team felt would be a particularly poignant clip to show today, when most Americans are away from work due to Labor Day. This video, Talking Watches with Jean-Claude Biver, not only tells us how he, and other top tier consumers collect (case quality and dial originality are a must!), but also about his early days in the watch industry, which date back to the 1970s. In sum, this 20 minute video is an amazing primer on not only serious watch collecting, but also how the watch industry came to be what it is today. Watch above and for more, you can see the full Talking Watches with Jean-Claude Biver here.

Do you think ok it's not reasonable and I can find one later, or do you think it's better to borrow some money from a friend that you can give back in the next 3-4 months without any problem?Knowing that of course considering your financial status it's not super reasonable in any case, that at one point or another you might be uncomfortable financially because of this��I am asking this because as some might know my 2 favorites after my 5712 my 2 favorites are the 5167R and the 5726, I found a 5726 grey dial on strap, not my favorite, prefer bracelet but the strap would be nice if I have 2 Nautiluses, at a very interesting price for a new and unworn piece, basically 26,500K in euros, which is basically
