not completely capturing it the way John meant though. Never TRYING to be cool is a big part of it. Don't try to be cool, it defies the point. Being cool should be effortless, not caring. Cool. "If you've never tried to be cool - then you've kinda always been cool"
@@ZesPakcompletamente de acuerdo, john tiene ya su personalidad forjada por todo su trabajo y cariño en los detalles, su música y sus pertenencias son significativas, no buscan cautivar a nadie, es un genio
“Doing something you love is more regenerative than resting” is the best quote to come out of this conversation. Great perspective and such a great use of words to describe a simple concept that is hard to put into words!
I think so too. That is why I listen to music and try to get better at song-writing to regenerate. I also got into the hobby of audio gear and started "collecting" iems and audio gear in general for their design, uniqueness and presentation of music, just like they do with watches. I also want to thank Ed Sheeran if he´s reading this for great times with enjoying his music and for bringing out his cool new "project" autumn variations. The way it was done and the emotions behind it showed me new ways of approaching music and often triggered my depressions, which is, in some way shitty, but also shows how much emotion it can trigger and makes me think about different thinks of life. So thanks both of you for this beautiful video of watches and life approach, wish both of you the best for upcoming years.
Ha! I could just see all the middle aged watch nerds nodding furiously behind their screens XD. If you've never been cool, you probably never will be. Your watches are not going to change that. And that is OK.
I’m not a watch guy I’m just here because I’ll watch any Mayer interview. Not only does this video make me want to go out today and start collecting watches, but also makes me want to go listen to Ed again. What a great lovely guy.
Ed really is a class act. The simple mention of sadness at seeing his custom Tudor’s up for sale during the pandemic shows an empathy I imagine is missing for most at his level of celebrity.
Just because they have money and success, it doesn’t mean they’re a sociopath😂 I’ve seen countless artists speak about the symbiotic relationships they have with the people who work for them - most are well aware that they cannot do what they love on a level that makes them fabulously wealthy without the support of their crew…and since they know what they pay those people, they’re also incredibly aware that those same individuals can’t feed their families if they aren’t taking the show out on the road on a reasonably regular basis.
The way john mayer talks is unreal. This man has god-given talent at talking, what a flow, natural, choice of words, tonality, confidence and friendliness and honesty lol.
The fact that they both wore the matching Spider-man watches when Ed opened for John back in September is hysterical and amazing. The ending of this video literally shows the moment these guys double dared each other with the “I’ll get one if you get one” on a $250k watch. This entire video is amazing.
I don’t listen to Ed Sheeran, but whenever I hear the guy in interviews I just love him so much. He seems like such an honest to god grounded guy and an example of a human being that I wish to be! You go Ed!
John Mayer needs to do a series of these this all of his obsessions. Guitars, Amps, Pedals, Mics, Pre's, Outboard Gear, Knives. His collectors mind is fascinating and to see him do this with a bunch of people over a bunch of different topics would be increidble. Would be so cool to combine the different world of collectors.

John is an underrated interviewer. His enthusiasm for watches is very easy to spot, but how he's able to coax these little stories out of Ed about his watches was very gratifying and created an almost fly-on-the-wall feeling for I imagine most of us on this side of the screen. Great video, thank you Hodinkee for bringing it to us fans & enthusiasts.
The "Jamal" that Ed Sheeran mentions was Jamal Edwards, who inarguably is the most important person you've never heard of in modern British music. All someone who did brilliant work in his community, who amplified authentic artistic voices, and helped make the world that much better. Really glad Sheeran remembers him so positively.
Great bromance! John shocked me with his ability to keep it engaging for over an hour. They are both so candid and natural and it’s just so pure. Bravo 😊
@@russ9921 Nope, way too expensive of an item for that. The market is what, 1 or maybe 2 people that are both rich enough and at the same time fans enough.
The outro took this to a whole other level. I knew I was in for a memorable experience in listening to this conversation and truly, it delivered. But that ending was phenomenal. John is a poet with his words and Ed lives an inspiring life. They both connect and express themselves through watches, much like their music; Artists in every sense of the word. Best Talking Watches to date.
John went from what he, himself, called an “egomaniac” thinking no one was better, to being able to sincerely compliment someone else and call them better than him without batting an eye. Growth.
Ed Sheeran and John Mayer, two legends in their own right, such inspiring and rich conversation showing their passion for time pieces and their journey collecting.
I…I just…just wow. That Spidey scene at the end just made this episode really really special. Thank you Hodinkee, Mr. Mayer and Sir Ed Sheeran for sharing that connection with us. 🙏🏻
This was a joy to watch! It must be really hard to talk to super celebreties about their super expensive collections, and not be overly bowing to them for them to just show off their wealth (not that Talking Watches usually are!), but having just two watch-nerd-super-celebreties having this conversation is just next level. It feels so relaxed and with just massive mutual admiration and their collective love for the stories behind these watches is just amazing.
At the end of the day they're just people, like you and I. These kind of videos is what you need to not look up too much to artists or celebrities in general, because most can be nerds too!
"i do what i love for living, but i did it for free before" bro this man is SO HUMBLE, this video was everything i could've wished for as a fan of both John's & Ed's music and watch collection
I've started my morning with this episode 3 days in a row now... such a good duo, both so knowledgeable, and when John starts sounding slightly pretentious, Ed brings in a level of humility. Love it
Everything about this is perfect: the behind the scenes, the music (which is so John, but without showing off it’s John), the knowledge, the production value, the James Stacey cameo, the genuine love and respect between John and Ed. What a video 👏 👏 👏
John is a natural host and the two of them together are so enjoyable to watch. I love when Ed got embarrassed a bit when John called him cool. Shows mutual respect between two of the greatest artists and people our generation has known. Kudos to whoever had this idea. What a fantastic episode. More please!
One of the best interviews I’ve ever watched, so interesting, knowledgeable but also two people being exactly who they are talking about their passion! For two people so successful they are both massively down to earth, incredible!
Genuine watch enthusiasts on every level should appreciate this interview and their conversation for so many reasons. Thank you to the participants and crew, very well done.
Two of my favourite musicians, two of my favourite Watch collectors ever featured on Hodinkee. What a great episode of what was essentially two friends hanging out 'Talking Watches', life and everything else. Brilliant! Part 2 in a few years for sure. John is a fantastic host as well.
Man, if I didn't know John Mayer, I would say that he is such a great host, presenter, interviewer.His diction or choice of words, and dare I say jargon, is topnotch. He is so engaging and not a single second is wasted.
@@ChippyGamingno idea who you are, but I agree with the community side. Sure there are some people who just buy cause they want to flex, but the most seem to really love the art behind it. Like John Mayer talking about the font Lange uses on their dial. It’s that attention to detail and love of mastery of craftsmanship that is what the love is all about IMO
I was trying to work and listen to this at the same time, I found myself so many times not being able to take my eyes off of this video!! This was an awesome experience. Thank you John and Ed. Also thanks to Hodinkee for making this happen.
This made me so happy to listen to John Mayer and Ed Sheeran just have a mutual love fest over watches and then the end is absolutely worth watching every minute. What two wonderful men who just dig each other and love life. Great show!!!
JM should absolutely keep hosting these. Great guit player, and vox, but his love for watches is truly genuine. This guy gets it, and a lot of other guys don’t. Watches are an obsession, something we can’t live without, and seeing him embrace the addiction like us in true fashion is downright refreshing.
Ed letting John wear his 5208 on stage is such a cool gesture! That watch is outrageous money, the kinda money even these guys need to think hard about spending and he knew it'd be appreciated no end by JM. Very cool!
I just can't stop watching... Both of them in a video AND talking about watches AND it's 72 min AND they get matching watches at the end?? I'm here for it, thanks Hodinkee
This might be my favourite hour of RUclips in existence. Hearing these guys talk about watches in the same way the rest of us do, its really heart-warming..
Watching this Live in a packed room of watch enthusiasts in NYC was a real treat. Thanks for putting two heavy weights together and giving us the BEST Talking Watches Episode out there. I could not stop watching once it started!
John freakin nailed this. They are both so genuine. I am so looking forward to them both wearing the Spider-mans together (while I wear mine vicariously through them).
As a simple guy who owns a few mechanical watches I just watched an hour long video of two artists talking about their collection and I f*cking loved it! This was a great episode, thanks John! You're a great host.
This was awesome on all levels. John Mayer did a terrific job leading the conversation and Ed Sheeran answered with honesty/humility. John took a legit interest in Ed's collection and was really insightful. So cool!
This was so entertaining. Just a conversation between friends. One of John's great qualities is his open honesty about his feelings . Love the way he speaks and his use of language. And Ed is really receptive to that . Great to see them together
Fking love this! An hour in right now and hearing Ed Sheeran just say he would love Squirtle on a custom is hilarious. Thank you Hodinkee, John and Ed for this, much love from Singapore!
This is not only one of the best talking watches I've seen so far, it's also showcasing the beauty of pure friendship. And im so immersed into it. Thank you for making this happen❤
With over 10 years having watched Talking Watches, this episode simply cannot or will not be bettered. Unless you bring them back monthly. Thank you in advance
The music in this episode was simply delicious! Sounds like John Mayer’s style too. I wouldn’t be surprised if John himself did the music for this. The outro vibe was just creamy!
I know what I heard. The spicy b-roll music was at the very least curated by this guy. Reminds me of Mayer’s (now inactive) SoundCloud accounts. Typing this listening to 23:20 rn
When I see John Mayer talking watches it gives me the feeling that there is nobody who loves watches more than him. I can feel his passion which makes it so exciting and having a great guest like Ed elevates it to the next level.
*The sheer amount of knowledge and passion for timepieces in this video is incredible. I could watch these two for hours. True ambassadors to the watch game and also humble and well spoken. Thank you Hodinkee for the episode*
WE NEED THESE 2 TALKING ABOUT WATCHES WEEKLY! Such a great episode with 2 knowledgeable watch guys, and the chemistry was perfect between them. Super excited to grab Ed's new G Shock about to drop.
I’m not even a “watch guy” but this was just a great listen. Two dudes who really care about something explaining their passion. They also happen to be superstars but in this moment they’re just a couple of passionate people.
I left here feeling inspired to enjoy life ! i'm going out to dinner tonight ! thank you gentleman ! and thanks to everyone here who made this possible
Congrats! This is an incredible transition for John Mayer. We always knew he had the chops. So awesome he was able to act on an opportunity that he really loves. Mind blowing and great. Onward and upward. I love it. Love him
Through all of their ups and downs, no other watch publication/youtibe channel can come through with anything even remotely close to this. Thank you to everyone who made this happen. Going to have this on steady rotation for a long time.
No matter how many times you watch it, you'll never be as rich and famous, talented or cool as these two. Just face that reality and move on with your life.
Aren't these two the most admired watch enthusiasts and collectors out there? If you would ask me to pick two guys you want to talk about watches to... these are the two that would come up in my mind immediately. What a great collection too... thanks @Hodinkee for this episode!
These guys are so genuine in who they are despite their reasons to be anything but. Sheeran's approach to life, not just with watches, IS inspirational. Makes me ponder my own perspective. Superb video and audio editing as usual. Thanks, Hodinkee!
I could listen to these two talking watches all day. The kinda guys you would love to buy them a beer and sit down and listen to the wealth of knowledge they both have and hear there amazing stories.
I can’t believe talking watches started that long ago, I learned of John Mayer through talking watches and now he’s my favourite artist and seen him live. Watches are an introduction to worlds you’re yet to be aware of.
For a moment, I thought Kevin O'leary was just a watch youtuber and partner with Teddy Baldasarre and had no idea he was a shark tank investor. Even after I know, I still think of Kevin a collector first that just so happens to also be a guy on Shark Tank.
This is genuinely the most beautiful video I have ever watched. Thank you JM, Ed and the Hodinkee team for this! So inspiring, not just about watches but life.
Loved this episode! Really interesting to see the similar yet contrasting views/approaches to collecting between these two incredible artists. In all facets, Mr. J. C. Mayer brings his own unique flare to the interview which cannot be reproduced but this episode really underscores how great of an interviewer/listener Mr. Ben Clymer is.
I really appreciate seeing and hearing people talking about anything they might passionately be addicted to collecting ‼ I didn’t realize Ed. Has that much “ink” Great to see them both so at ease with each other ‼
He listens, he asks meaningful questions, he tells interesting anecdotes, it was 50-50…damn who knew John Mayer could be a great host.
Anyone who has even a cursory understanding of who John Mayer is knows the guy needs a TV show going back to like 2010.
As long as he doesn't start to tell jokes he does OK
@@thegorn Nah the jokes are fine too.
Everyone, literally everyone
He always took over in his interviews so this makes sense
Had high hopes for this episode... it exceeded expectations.
Same, the passion can be felt!!!
I second that motion
Well, I guess you dreamed big and they did much bigger haha
It's kinda sad John has no children ... like ... whats the point ?
@@HEATSEEKER00 Children are gross and annoying
What an Incredible video! The Passion is exploding of my screen! amazing!
Just watched thinking you would love Eds view on buying to commemorate special occations
This video had me thinking about what you would think
But... The Hublot though 😂
God Tier even
I bet they opened your eyes to Hublot! lol
"If you've never been cool - then you've kinda _always_ been cool" What an awesome quote, hit me in the feels
not completely capturing it the way John meant though. Never TRYING to be cool is a big part of it. Don't try to be cool, it defies the point.
Being cool should be effortless, not caring. Cool.

“If you’ve never been cool, you’ve always been cool”. Even when John Mayer isn’t songwriting, he’s songwriting
Ha! I could just see all the middle aged watch nerds nodding furiously behind their screens XD. If you've never been cool, you probably never will be. Your watches are not going to change that. And that is OK.
John Mayer needs to be a full time host!!
They can't afford him
I feel the polar opposite. Great musician, though.
Think Ed should’ve had a sit down with Nico instead.
@@noahgoldowitz Do you really think he does this for money? 😅🤣😂
I agree with you but he is kind of busy

@@weidongng6895 Tudor as an entry point watch?

“The wait is part of the ownership.” John is SUCH a master story teller. I could listen to him talk forever. He is the coolest.
The wait is definitely part of the excitement…as long as you know it’s actually coming! Big difference between on-order and on-waitlist. 😂
100% accurate! He’s a poet on and off stage
The way john mayer talks is unreal. This man has god-given talent at talking, what a flow, natural, choice of words, tonality, confidence and friendliness and honesty lol.
Wasn’t that always evident? He has a way with words and thoughts!
@@Trulytiny7 just emphasizing the fact because its over an hour video, did i say someplace that it’s first time we ever hear it here lol

This is BY FAR my favorite talking watches episode!! It's just two dudes sharing a love for watches without a care of the price tags. I love it!!!
You know you've made it when you can ask Patek to put your population:2,000 town on a world timer just for you 😂 Two stone cold legends!
So good. I want a hometown Patek dial :)
I'm on the phone tomorrow to see if I can have one with Worthing on the dial. Wish me luck 😅
The irony is that a customised watch proven to have belonged to Ed Sheeran would increase its value rather than detract from it.
@@russ9921 Nope, way too expensive of an item for that. The market is what, 1 or maybe 2 people that are both rich enough and at the same time fans enough.
Or go get matching Spider-Man concepts with your boy as a “fun” watch 😂🎉

This was awesome on all levels. John Mayer did a terrific job leading the conversation and Ed Sheeran answered with honesty/humility. John took a legit interest in Ed's collection and was really insightful. So cool!
These two have been such huge parts of my love of music my entire life. So great to see them together here.
This was so entertaining. Just a conversation between friends. One of John's great qualities is his open honesty about his feelings . Love the way he speaks and his use of language. And Ed is really receptive to that . Great to see them together
Fking love this! An hour in right now and hearing Ed Sheeran just say he would love Squirtle on a custom is hilarious. Thank you Hodinkee, John and Ed for this, much love from Singapore!
This is not only one of the best talking watches I've seen so far, it's also showcasing the beauty of pure friendship. And im so immersed into it. Thank you for making this happen❤
Probably the best thing i've watched on RUclips so far.
With over 10 years having watched Talking Watches, this episode simply cannot or will not be bettered. Unless you bring them back monthly. Thank you in advance
The music in this episode was simply delicious! Sounds like John Mayer’s style too. I wouldn’t be surprised if John himself did the music for this. The outro vibe was just creamy!
Had the same thought !! He for sure did it himself !!
I know what I heard. The spicy b-roll music was at the very least curated by this guy. Reminds me of Mayer’s (now inactive) SoundCloud accounts. Typing this listening to 23:20 rn
When I see John Mayer talking watches it gives me the feeling that there is nobody who loves watches more than him. I can feel his passion which makes it so exciting and having a great guest like Ed elevates it to the next level.
*The sheer amount of knowledge and passion for timepieces in this video is incredible. I could watch these two for hours. True ambassadors to the watch game and also humble and well spoken. Thank you Hodinkee for the episode*
@1:10:13 is the purest form of genuine excitement and friendship from Ed. Very inspiring and happy to see
The Holy Grail Talking Watches Episode. Covers the true essence of collecting, the joy of it and the life experiences. Deeply inspiring!
WE NEED THESE 2 TALKING ABOUT WATCHES WEEKLY!
Such a great episode with 2 knowledgeable watch guys, and the chemistry was perfect between them. Super excited to grab Ed's new G Shock about to drop.
Weekly ? It would lose its value almost immediately
You think they have nothing else to do?
Great episode! Please give us more of this longer format with a guest and host who know each other. Loved the stories and banter. Well done.
I’m not even a “watch guy” but this was just a great listen. Two dudes who really care about something explaining their passion. They also happen to be superstars but in this moment they’re just a couple of passionate people.
Fantastic episode of Talking Watches. Ed's journey through time is epic.
Pure joy of an interview. Thank you all
John needs to be the full time host!! Eds collection is amazing, need him on more often
Such a boss move to wrap by purchasing the Spider-Man APs and receiving them together! Love this format. Keep it coming Hodinkee.
This man never ceases to surprise me. Ive been waiting for pt3 of john mayer but this is better.
I left here feeling inspired to enjoy life ! i'm going out to dinner tonight ! thank you gentleman ! and thanks to everyone here who made this possible
John has the perfect trifecta in a host: he’s eloquent. He’s thoughtful. He has impeccable taste.
Congrats! This is an incredible transition for John Mayer. We always knew he had the chops. So awesome he was able to act on an opportunity that he really loves. Mind blowing and great. Onward and upward. I love it. Love him
Through all of their ups and downs, no other watch publication/youtibe channel can come through with anything even remotely close to this. Thank you to everyone who made this happen. Going to have this on steady rotation for a long time.
No matter how many times you watch it, you'll never be as rich and famous, talented or cool as these two. Just face that reality and move on with your life.
This video is everything we have been asking for and more. Thank you Hodinkee, John, and Ed for giving us what we want!
Watch related or not, this is up there in the best pieces of content I’ve ever seen. It put so many smiles on my face. Thank you.
The level of wealth that is required to purchase these things on a whim defies understanding. Excellent video & chat!
Aren't these two the most admired watch enthusiasts and collectors out there? If you would ask me to pick two guys you want to talk about watches to... these are the two that would come up in my mind immediately. What a great collection too... thanks @Hodinkee for this episode!
These guys are so genuine in who they are despite their reasons to be anything but. Sheeran's approach to life, not just with watches, IS inspirational. Makes me ponder my own perspective. Superb video and audio editing as usual. Thanks, Hodinkee!
Sometimes an hour long RUclips video is just too much, not in this case, I was hanging on every word these legends said, Kudos Hodinkee
Never thought I’d be the type to love listening to John Mayer and Ed Sheeran talk about watches. But here I am.
I could listen to these two talking watches all day. The kinda guys you would love to buy them a beer and sit down and listen to the wealth of knowledge they both have and hear there amazing stories.
I can’t believe talking watches started that long ago, I learned of John Mayer through talking watches and now he’s my favourite artist and seen him live. Watches are an introduction to worlds you’re yet to be aware of.
For a moment, I thought Kevin O'leary was just a watch youtuber and partner with Teddy Baldasarre and had no idea he was a shark tank investor. Even after I know, I still think of Kevin a collector first that just so happens to also be a guy on Shark Tank.
This is genuinely the most beautiful video I have ever watched. Thank you JM, Ed and the Hodinkee team for this! So inspiring, not just about watches but life.
Loved this episode! Really interesting to see the similar yet contrasting views/approaches to collecting between these two incredible artists. In all facets, Mr. J. C. Mayer brings his own unique flare to the interview which cannot be reproduced but this episode really underscores how great of an interviewer/listener Mr. Ben Clymer is.
I really appreciate seeing and hearing people talking about anything they might passionately be addicted to collecting ‼ I didn’t realize Ed. Has that much “ink” Great to see them both so at ease with each other ‼
Surprised it took me this long for a second watch. I’ve watched John’s episodes multiple times. Love this.
