It was a genuine honor to participate in this interview and I hope it provides enjoyment to those who watch it. Collecting is an emotionally motivated passion and it’s a pleasure to share that passion with others.
Kevin - Thanks so much for sharing your collection with George & our audience. As you can see by the comments, our audience loved to hear from you! We hope to have you back for more videos!

Thank you for the "You buy and collect what you love" statement. I think that is getting lost in horology.
Thanks for sharing the love.
I really enjoyed this interview. I think we are in strong agreement as to what motivates us to buy AND wear our beloved watches. Thank you for sharing. I wish I knew you. I would love to chat over lunch and hear more.
Enjoyed watching this clip and kudos for setting up a well balanced collection, may you enjoy them in good health for many years to come. Wishing you the best
Kevin clearly has an exceptional taste in time pieces. His knowledge of Patek (and all other luxury tie pieces) is exquisite. This video was a pleasure watching - I hope that you guys get together for a sequel!
Kevin is a humble and knowledgeable collector. Thanks for sharing his story and collection.
Fantstic watch talk with 2 passionate watch persons. Awesome video
Kevin seems like a great guy, obviously intelligent & no doubt with the rarity of wisdom. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, I couldn't agree any more with your view. Best WatchBox collectr's conversation ever!
Thanks Scott - that is high praise! We’ll keep trying to bring in more interesting collectors... and would love to have Kevin back in Philly to shoot more content with George!

Great interview GBB and Kevin. An impressive collection for sure. Would love to see you rock the G Shock in a Tux. Own it my friend. Own it! The most valuable advice throughout the entire interview is to "collect what you love". I have subscribed to that mantra for many many years and would also offer an additional nugget which is to collect what you can wear regularly. It's not quantity it's QUALITY. And you my friend have accomplished both. Well done.
One of the best collection discussion I have seen. I can spend few hours easily listening to both of them.
This was the best Collector Conversation till now. This guy really likes watches and appreciate them.
Thanks for your kind words, we appreciate your support!

Recently purchased the 2018 Rolex GMT Master ll Root Beer as my engagement watch for our wedding to come and absolutely couldn't be happier while enjoying this as my daily wear. Currently posting review-videos while enjoying this amazing experience and we are so happy that this Rolex has become a part of our wedding story. With that being said thanks for the wonderful watch interview. Keep up the great work, we really appreciate it!
The best talking watches that wasn’t talking watches. Lipson and Mayer - excellent.
These collector segments are fantastic.
Nice interview! I appreciate Mr Lipson’s good taste & also his humility. Congrats on a spectacular collection!
I absolutely love this Collector videos! Mr Lipson showed his passion for watches and has great taste!
Thanks! Stay tuned for more!
Great to see/hear someone’s passion & life experiences with their own collection & how it came about👍🍻
Such a down to Earth guy. You can tell he’s self made.
Good interview, dialogue, history, and conversation. Nicely done gents. Lipson loves his collection and loves horology. 👍
Great episode, stunning collection, class act!
That was truly interesting and associate with his philosophy on collecting very closely. Thank you for sharing.
Super nice interview, great collection, great interviewer and obviously a nice and charismatic man in front of him to listen to. Thumbs up !
Amazing collection.
Really love to see Kevi's passion around his timepieces.
Please keep it up WatchBox!!
Best,
Amintas
Amazing episode! You can see and hear the passion for watches. Outstanding collection, talking grail watches with someone who owns well over 6 figures worth of watches!
Wow. This is a hard-hitting video and very through collector. I'm going to get a coffee for this one. Oh boy, nice sunday chillaxing.
Phenomenal episode! Thank you
Very interesting interview I have been collecting for around 10 years and have been lucky enough to have some very nice watches, it is interesting how your thought process can change in regard to what you think about before buying or trading for your next watch. My primary criteria has always been I have to really like/love a watch before buying it but in the first few years of collecting I never considered how easy or hard it might be to sell a watch when I didn't want it anymore. After having trouble selling some pretty expensive pieces I started considering value retention and desirability of the watch at least in some part of making a buying decision. As this guy states Rolex and Patek are the safest bets for value retention an ease of resale. I will never considered a watch as an investment but it is nice when you want to trade or sell one that you get a large amount of your input back out of it. That is why I have chosen to stay away from some crazy mechanical wonders that fascinate me but also concern me that I will never get rid of them if I tire of the novelty of a funky piece. Classic designs are called that for a reason, they never go out of style. Also amazing to me how steel sports watches have become so popular and watch diameters are returning to more reasonable sizes. It will be interesting to see what the trends are 10 years from now.
Great video! So much better than Hodinkee these days. Please make more. 🤞
Thanks Ben- we are lining more collector interviews up. Thanks for watching!

Cool and very informative video from an experienced collector
Kevin, great meeting you Thursday night…this was a really cool video. You have some amazing timepieces!
great video - more of this.
Great Video! Good advice for watch collectors, like myself. Looking for my first Patek...
George kicks ass as always and Kevin is very well spoken, great presenter and in his element. Not to mention a killer collection.. Good job guys
nice guy and impressed with the C3PO full metal G-Shock.
The stories make watches interesting and add value, also.
Thanks Jay - we love learning about all of the stories behind our clients’ collections and we are glad to be able to bring some of them to you! Thanks for watching!

Yeah! Go Pack go! Season ticket holder to the Green Bay Packers is awesome! My grandma lives in Green Bay, and she has been a season ticket holder for 45 years!
Cool watches and discussion. The G-shock anniversary is gangsta
Cool interview. He knows what he likes and understands that most of the time watches aren't really investments but more a way to park some wealth in something enjoyable that you can potentially get most of the cost back out of. I don't get owning that many of the same watch, but if that's what makes him happy then why not?
Great show, what an interesting talk. What also caught my attention is the hublot picture in the background, may I know what that is?
Can I ask for the professional view on what is a smaller watch? Sub 36 or sub 40 or perhaps sub 34?
Sign of a true non pretentious watch guy who doesnt have blinders on...the G-Shock GMWB5000!
Nice video...thanks
Casio 35th Anniversary great.
Another superb production folks! Only thing that distracted me slightly was the pulsing lights behind the scenery (LED driver/ballast out of sync maybe)?
I would love to see your sneakercollection as well =)
More closeups of the watches and maybe a graphic as each watch comes up.
I understand why people would sell some watches so they could buy more but I have more than a few watches and I wouldn’t sell any of them. Even the ones that I don’t wear they all have such sentimental value. But anyway really found this video interesting.
I just sold my Omega Speedmaster for A Rolex Daytona Zenith movement. I miss my Speedy but love my Daytona.
Nice collection.. but what watch did u get by selling the paul newman? Damn, i would nv sell a pn if i ever had one.
Too bad we can hardly see those watches :(
About the 5711 : "Last week one sold at Christie's for 52 500$!". That aged well ahah
The interview was pretty interesting, but the camera direction wasn't, IMHO. For example, when they talk about and look at an amazing movement, and George even holds it for the camera to see, why on earth would you not zoom in on it? And if it isn't possible in the moment, film a closeup shot afterwards that you can later cut in.

Loving these series. Please, change this style of thumbnails
Hi Umar - what kind of thumbnail would be more enticing for you? Thanks for your support of our interviews!!
-Team WatchBox
WatchBox Studios A thumbnail picture of both the interviewer and the collector, with the watches on the table. This current thumbnail seems too ‘advertisey’
G*d damn, what a watch collection!
Kevin must have connections with Govberg. He’s got the hot models like the Rolex Daytona 116500; Patek Phillipe 5522 Pilot’s Calatrava and Nautilus 5711.
Kevin is a long time client of ours who has become a good friend to George and the Company.

George Mayer reminds me of Quinton Tarantino
"Sir, can you please put Jerusalem on the dial?" LMAO So typical.
So typical of what?
@@kevinlipson8130 members of the Jewish faith
If it were “so typical” there would be more than a handful made. Was it so typical of the Irish to have Dublin on the dial? Was it so typical of the Arabs to have Mecca on the dial? Your comment says more about you than it does about Jews
Sneaker collector too!? He’s alright in my book
What's Mr. Lipson's position on global warming?
"your competitor hodinkee" was a bit ambitious
Not really, Goverg are bigger than some people think.
Maybe as a media company, but I’m sure we buy, sell, and trade many times more watches.

27 minutes of talking watches. Do i need to say more :)
We are trying to lead the market in providing the most quantity and quality of watch talking minutes! Thanks for your support!

this type of content doesnt interest me, but, i clicked for the gshock
Hi JogBird - what type of content do you like better? Thanks for watching and commenting!
-Team WatchBox
Me too I just came to see gold gshock.
@shoaib Karim - what kind of content would you prefer?
@@the1916company cheap, nasty watches under $500.
Engineering at the highest level ? What about space ships and other real technology
Hey rich people surprise me!
Jerusalem is also an Arab city in an Arab country.
True sport Watch? It doesn’t get more dress watch than this Cartier with the hand wound movement ultra thin no second hand ... wtf am I even watching
I wonder if Patek will make a world time with Palestine on the dial? lol
One lucky jew... Very lucky
Edit... Im not racist... Its a cheap joke... Im just kidding
two buckaroos
Mayer doesn’t seem to be the most empathetic guy in the world. His eyes are all over the place instead of the interview partner. Pretty strange. Pretty pretty strange...
Hmm... maybe because he’s a professional watch trader and not an interviewer by trade? We’re proud of all of our “talent”, and they continue to get better with practice. Thanks for watching!

“So, why do you primarily focus on Patek and Rolex you’d say?”
“We’ll basically, I’m a sheep. Everyone says these are the two brands I need to own. So I do. Why choose something only I may like when I can have something that everyone likes and hypes up? I need gratification from recognition. Oh, and the resale is very good. Did I mention I also drive a 911?”
“Kevin, stick to the motherfucking narrative or your days of receiving a new stainless Patek or Rolex in under 16 months are over! Crew, stop filming, we’ll need to reshoot this segment.”
1989osu now let’s be fair here. I also have Omega, Cartier and G shock!
