The Watch Society
США
Добавлен 25 мар 2024
The Watch Society started in Atlanta by a couple of watch enthusiasts getting together to share their love of all things horological. In the past few years it has grown to include chapters across the country. Our RUclips page is a place where we can share thoughts on watches, videos of our events, interviews with brand representatives, and stories from collectors. Mark Hackman from Crown and Caliber and Hodinkee is the main host with different members of the community stepping in from time to time.

Audemars Piguet Code 11:59 Star Wheel Review
Просмотров 1,4 тыс.Месяц назад
The Code 11:59 has certainly not been the most popular platform in Audemars Piguet's history when it was launched in 2019 but with the introduction of the star wheel complication the platform might finally have found a winning combination. AP is known more for the Royal Oak line that has dominated its lineup since the 1970's to the point that many call them a one watch brand. In Mark's review h...
Ming Minimalist 37.02 Review

Horologer Ming has been around for less than a decade, and in that short time they have already fleshed out an entire distinct design language that sets them apart from most of the newer brands in the market. The new Ming Minimalist 37.02 shows that when you strip down a watch to its bare essentials the essence of a brand will shine through. This is the first Ming produced in their new La Chaux...
How does a 1960s 1675 Rolex GMT compare to the new 126710 Bruce Wayne
Просмотров 2,6 тыс.2 месяца назад
These two watches were made six decades apart yet it is still obviously they are part of the same lineage. In this video Mark takes a look at what has changed, what has stayed the same, and how has the march of time slowly impacted the change in these two watches. Many will prefer the old-school cool of the 1675 while others want the modern convenience that comes with the 126710. Which do you p...

Просмотров 2,4 тыс.2 месяца назад
Most professional diving techniques were developed by Comex, a company founded and run by Henri-Germain Delauze. This diving pioneer also helped Rolex develop their professional dive watches in the Sea-Dweller, a watch that goes well beyond what the Submariner was ever meant to do. This partnership with Rolex is most famously shown in the watches labeled with both companies names on the dials. ...

The Ressence Type 5 is a dive watch that looks like no other
Просмотров 5872 месяца назад
When Ressence first came on the market their watches stood out for having rotating disks instead of traditional hands. As time went on they brought oil filled watches with a unique ROCs system that used magnets to keep the oil filled part of the watch separate from the gear train. With the Type 5 Ressence brought this system to a dive watch that is like no other, one that doesn't look like a co...

Intersect Watch Show Came to Atlanta
Love what you’re doing for the watch community!
Thank you so much, that means the world to me
Excellent interview/discussion! Got to learn abit more about James in general and collecting
great video!
Much appreciated 👍
I look at a lot of watch channels. Subbed yours just for the RM comments . Keep up the good work. Thanks for the updates
More of these please! ❤
That is the plan!
The Timex is surprisingly interesting 🤔
That Vertex M45 is simply brilliant.
I think James's artic white is my favorite version too
Great discussion
Really cool👍
Much appreciated
First!
We are still doing that 😁
Thanks for the news roundup Mark!
great video!
Glad you enjoyed it
Wow that adventurine bel canto is amazing
Much appreciated, we are proud of it. Orders are still open with more information on the description if you are interested.
@ wish me luck getting permission from the wife 😂
Love the topic! They were all out of my price range, but I enjoyed learning about them.
Nothing turns me off a watch faster than limited availability.
That is fair, and different than a limited edition.
Studio Underdog is the brand at the moment love Wht the brand is doing going add a Underdog soon to my watch collection.
Love the Watch Society Bel Canto
Superb vid Brotha🤙 Excellent commentary and analysis, which is rare in the vast majority of these horological vids!! Continued Success🍻 RP
Much appreciated!
Gold on gold Santos is versatile? I mean come on now……
A G-Shock and a good Santos can be a great two watch collection for any situation 😁
Beautiful Bel Canto
Thank you!
Love the “Hiss Made” on the CW, but that’s about it. Much prefere their new field watch with the sand dune dials.
The snake watch is a little kitchsy and playful so I don't think it has the wide appeal of the dune watches. I like that CW made them both.
Tell it how it is. RM is totally super overhyped.
💯
I’m not really a Timex fan, but this Timex is gorgeous!
Re: Timex. What defines a “camper” watch?
The Camper is a line of watches from Timex, they are a field watch style generally.
Agree on Richard Mille watches , they remind me of a watch that should be in a lucky bag (if you remember them) Don’t understand why people like them , look like a kids watch
Couldn't agree more, I don't mind a kid watch look if it was a kid watch price
Some fun watches coming out. That Bel Canto with Aventurine is fire. Love the SU/Fears collaboration too.
Best news for last!!!
Heck yeah
Had no clue Frank had only been collecting for about a year, great journey so far
Yeah he jumped in the deep end
A Bel Canto collaboration!?! 🤩
Yep, pretty nice one too
Incredible work Mark and Giancarlo, so excited to take delivery in April 🌌🐦⬛
Us too!
I think I was satisfied with red one but that bel canto dial is amazing
Like potato chips, you can't have just one Bel Canto
Thank you for your work🙏
Thanks for watching!
He's so innocent and unjaded. Love it.
Have to agree the blue meteorite Zelos looks incredible and might be the most unique piece on that table!! Well done guys!!
Such a cool watch. Loved the bluefin when I saw it in person!
Let's go Frank!! Im loving these collectors from the community videos!
Great video! Thank you very much🙏
great video!
Glad you enjoyed it
A 'young' watch collector, the very best with his journey!
Great video Mark it is always fantastic to hear from a fellow collector and enthusiast Frank did an amazing job talking about his watch collecting journey. Please make more of these videos in the future. You have a fantastic group of collectors to pull from down in Atlanta with the watch society. Keep up the good work!!!
Glad you enjoyed it, this is certainly only episode 1 of talking with collectors in our community
Great video!!
Omg any chance I can get the contact information for the dealer in Florence!
Love this style, it’s all about the collectors and their collection! Thank you for sharing Frank, you have such a cool collection in such a short time!
Great episode! Very interesting collecting strategy Frank and happy 1st Anniversary 😂
I love how everyone collects differently, thank you for watching
Awesome video, Mark and Frank! Great Frank collection, Frank! I'm like you Mark I don't sell alot of my pieces and I need too 😂😂😂
Great story! Love Zenith and my Chronomaster sport (black dial), and agree that they are very underrated. That is some crazy collecting in a years time!
Frank definitely took a speed run at collecting
Love the longer format conversation. Keep them up! Great for an in office listen.@@TheWatchSociety
Hi! Should I get the uni or bluefin? I’m so torn between the two
I think it comes down to if you like a steel case or a black DLC coated case. I prefer the Uni but by the slimmest of margins.
Love the LV Spin Time. I wish it was a bit more approachable, price wise.
Very informative and great summary!
Glad you enjoyed it!
great video!
Glad you enjoyed it
