A well-spoken young man with a clear passion for watches. This is what Talking Watches is all about, not collections of hype, all-modern Rolex, Patek, and AP.
@@petemorbius3936Lots of the people featured are quite well-off and I am certain this is not his entire collection. However, it is still nice to see something other than an all-modern collection from the usual suspects.
This is the best talking watches in years. Great interviewer, fantastic interviewee, diverse personal collection, great stories, and just a subtle amount of lv promotion. Also fantastic post-production. Bravo 👏👏👏
Looking at his collection, first thought this is what silent luxury looks like. Then I realised he's the billionaire son of the owner of the largest luxury group in the world, so of course.
@@watch_wave I think he’s in the top 5, but not the richest in the world. Either way - at some point 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place stops making much of a difference - so he might as well be the richest in the world.
By the way, my point wasn't he can have what he wants 'cos he's rich. There have been a lot more rich people than not on Talking Watches. My point is, being born into wealth and luxury his collection is typical of someone who hasn't had to 'prove' their status. No hype pieces. No stones. No yellow or rose gold. Just watches he likes. Very understated, very quiet luxury. But of course it would be.
Great interview. First I’ve seen with Jean Arnault. Clearly a great credit to his family and the future of LVMH group, especially the watch division in this period moving forward.
Had to finish watching this in 3 separate occasions because his collection is so well curated it was making me feel unwell. It literally evoked a physical response in me. Absolutely stunning pieces mere mortals like myself can only aspire to have. The AL&S stands out, that dial is the clear starry night sky. Like many have said, this is the epitome of class. Incredible!
I was half-expecting some LV watch ad with his collection, but was pleasantly surprised. What a unique collection and very well-spoken. Thanks for sharing
This man's imagination is captivating. The most elegant and truly eclectic ( considering that Patek device) collection I have seen. The antithesis of hauling out the vintage Subs and Nautili
Jean Arnault is from the one of the most creative families and yet, even whilst showing some of his incredible watch collection he's as down to earth as the nice guy on your street. That's the difference between being wealthy and just being rich.
So glad this wasn't just a bunch of Royal Oaks and Rolexes. Shows that he understands that a collection isn't what everyone else collects but what makes watches special to you.
I like how personal and unique his collection is. And I understand specially from his family background but the best part of it is not single rolex in the collection unlike any other collectors and it makes everything so special and different kind of expensive.
On the upside down engraving at 10:42 John Mayer said in his second TW that some engravers believe the crown on the right is the correct position to engrave, even though it’s “upside down”. Could be what happened here!
Nowadays I am looking for interesting watches from jewelry companies, while a lot many "watch" companies are "creating" new fonts, color, dial pattern and lug shape, even crown size to present us "new" watches.
The escale is arguably the greatest lv watches that they ever produced so far. I wish they would produced another one with the ability of jump hour, and the mechanically produced back light.
I saw him wolfing down a fry-up and burping loudly in a Wetherspoons recently and he had a battered old Seiko 5 on. Strange that he didn't bring that one to show off.
I like this guy. Clearly he has an uphill battle when it comes to reshaping our thinking in regards to fashion brands and their horological output, but the Tambour inspired thing they released (despite it's ridiculous pricing) is actually a really nice looking, proper watch. You can tell it has been released by someone with a real knowledge and love for watches.
I strongly doubt this is his entire collection - he has carefully chosen pieces to compliment the Louis Vuitton. This billionaires hype pieces are probably in his other collection box. :) LVMH are marketing experts
honestly LV is bringing out so amazing watches but they'll always be strong hold as a "fashion watch" making their watches high retail but low resale... They should honestly just spun off into an independent new luxury watch brand that only does watches under a new name.
The Arnault family is soo crazy. Not being negative - I have a lot of respect for the direction LVMH started going in years ago when the acquired Rimowa, etc. Good to see Bernard involving his entire family in LVMH - Brings diversity to the brands represented, having a younger eyes, eye.
I like Jean, I admire his collection. The only issue I have with this episode is that it continues to have a really commercial feel that we've been seeing recently from talking watches. If it was once in a while with these partial collection/partial advertisement videos it would be much better imo. That being said. A lot of really nice watches in Jean's collection and he certainly has an enjoyable ethos to his collection.

@@currencyworld agree on that .

@@pkl8811 u think i was born yesterday? its well known fact
From a man who can have it all, his collection is extremely refined, humble, and tasteful. Bravo!
I think he did not bring everything, he just brought the unique and interesting stuff
@@eahmhelmoa I collect bottle openers
@@eahmhelmoa and dead bodies 🔪🔪
That’s not what the word humble means lol
@@danielelkins8776 True, humble implies a degree of moral agency, ie a 'thing' cant be humble. Perhaps 'modest' would be a better word?
Given the family he's from, he seems like a really nice and humble guy. Beautiful collection, by the way!
Ha! I didn't even connect Arnault with the family.
Very humble indeed. Great new generation of the Arnault Family.
@@ngoandy you think a random 24 year old could be director at LV? LOL
@@END0684 exactly....the humility is all for the camera/ Shut up Goldberger.
@@pkl8811 I don't know him so that why I said it 'seems'. You draw your own conclusions but let others draw theirs.

To say his collection is impressive is an understatement
To say he’s unfathomably rich is also an understatement
Someone who appreciates dress watches instead of just sports hype pieces - great change for Talking Watches.

Not just a billionaire, the richest person in the world

@@pureounce.9184 I agree wholeheartedly. It’s kind of refreshing, honestly. This was a good episode.
@@squarestanley he is now the richest
As a watch collector for some 35 years, I really liked Mr Arnault`s presentation, know-how and true passion for watches. Thank you both -
That Only Watch is absolutely mind blowing...
Great interview. First I’ve seen with Jean Arnault. Clearly a great credit to his family and the future of LVMH group, especially the watch division in this period moving forward.
I just love the LV watch box that houses his silent luxury watch collection. Epic timepieces in my book!

Lol I love this comment
Great episode. His passion is contagious. There's something immensely appealing about a person who takes great pride and joy in the work they do.
That LV watch is so impressive, and he really knows all the many details.
I was half-expecting some LV watch ad with his collection, but was pleasantly surprised. What a unique collection and very well-spoken. Thanks for sharing
Great interview and collection, good to see a guy from such a wealthy background to have a level head/nice way about him.
Very refreshing collection. Love that Lange.
This man's imagination is captivating. The most elegant and truly eclectic ( considering that Patek device) collection I have seen. The antithesis of hauling out the vintage Subs and Nautili
Amazing gadget that’s really a blast from the past! I’m sure his office is big enough to accommodate it.
When I saw who this was I didn't think I was going to like it. But it was a very cool collection. That only watch is bananas.
Jean Arnault is from the one of the most creative families and yet, even whilst showing some of his incredible watch collection he's as down to earth as the nice guy on your street. That's the difference between being wealthy and just being rich.
Great to have someone who is passionate about watches to helm LV watch. 👍🏻
His brother, Frederic, was just announced as head of watches for all of LVMH. Congratulations to the Arnault family.
There should be a talking watches with each of the Arnaults
So glad this wasn't just a bunch of Royal Oaks and Rolexes. Shows that he understands that a collection isn't what everyone else collects but what makes watches special to you.
What a classy collection, funnily enough loved the enamel dial LV would not have expected to like any offerings from a fashion house. Bravo
@@brianyoung3830 Not AP or Vacheron.
This is my second favorite watch collection I’ve ever seen right behind John Mayers. The last one with the enamel flags is my favorite.
Such a unique and classic collection. I am blown away, every piece is incredible
He’s flexing hard with the modular timing system 😂😂
Bring him back again we'd love to see other pieces from his collection
What a cool collection, a genuine collector.
Really interesting collection and refreshing change from the usual pieces we see
Thanks for sharing
Very nice collection that shows real love for watches. One question was not asked, though: what would be his grail watch?
I like how personal and unique his collection is. And I understand specially from his family background but the best part of it is not single rolex in the collection unlike any other collectors and it makes everything so special and different kind of expensive.
Very cool chap and authentic collection, he knows what he's doing at work also.
"You Realize Who my dad is?" Marvelous
That video is a parody. That's an actor. A comedic skit. Not Jean Arnault.
A crazy impressive collection, each piece extremely unique and desirable!
Thank you for this talk! Such a pleasure.
One of the nicest watches collection of the show
On the upside down engraving at 10:42
John Mayer said in his second TW that some engravers believe the crown on the right is the correct position to engrave, even though it’s “upside down”. Could be what happened here!
We start enjoying our watches to the fullest after the first scratch.
Nowadays I am looking for interesting watches from jewelry companies, while a lot many "watch" companies are "creating" new fonts, color, dial pattern and lug shape, even crown size to present us "new" watches.
this guy has good taste. I'm really impressed w the big patek timekeeping machine. its really cool
Finest collection video I have ever seen. ❤
Great episode but credit also to Glassofmilt for doing the interview in a stupendous way. Bravo!
Absolutely amazing collection!!
He talks very fondly of Patek.
The escale is arguably the greatest lv watches that they ever produced so far. I wish they would produced another one with the ability of jump hour, and the mechanically produced back light.
I think we can do better, and he was right. I love the Escale world time, but this was such an improvement from the one in production.
I saw him wolfing down a fry-up and burping loudly in a Wetherspoons recently and he had a battered old Seiko 5 on. Strange that he didn't bring that one to show off.
Very articulate and surprisingly charming young man.
Great video!! Love it
I like this guy. Clearly he has an uphill battle when it comes to reshaping our thinking in regards to fashion brands and their horological output, but the Tambour inspired thing they released (despite it's ridiculous pricing) is actually a really nice looking, proper watch.
You can tell it has been released by someone with a real knowledge and love for watches.
Outstanding collection. One of the best TW has seen. Exclusive, eclectic, electric! What a nice guy! 💥
A very handsome, solid and pleasant man!Bravo!
I’m surprised he didn’t throw in a Zenith or TAG Heuer… you know, just to represent a little.
Another great show with great watches we wish we could afford.
always a pleasure to hear Jean Arnault present his thoughts
This guy is maybe the main reason that we soon might have to take LV-watches seriously.
Fantastic watches
He is also head of Tag Heuer correct? I like the new aquaracers. ❤
No, that’s his brother Frederic
@@neyraofficial8722 ah heck! Thanks for clarifying 🥰
I strongly doubt this is his entire collection - he has carefully chosen pieces to compliment the Louis Vuitton. This billionaires hype pieces are probably in his other collection box. :) LVMH are marketing experts
Looking at his LV watch box, there appears to be some more timepieces in his collection.
@@harg8939 ah I missed that, thanks!
Yes my thought as well. Love the eccentricity of what he presented.
Of course he likely has 50+ watches but he selected some of the most interesting
Refreshing not to see another collection of Rolexes and APs
Thanks dad!
The accent was like mixed between American and French. Cool
But what time is it?
Congratulations Hodinkee!
A pleasant surprise to meet such a young collector
Of such refined taste and knowledge
A similar Krayon just sold at auction for 350K CHF
You can tell this guys is passionate by both his collection, and how Louis Vuitton has changed in such a short time.
Cool collection and nice guy.
honestly LV is bringing out so amazing watches but they'll always be strong hold as a "fashion watch" making their watches high retail but low resale... They should honestly just spun off into an independent new luxury watch brand that only does watches under a new name.
This guy played in the movie Hook as a kid no?

really love the patek 3970
His connections must make watch collecting really fun. Want to check on the Journe you are thinking of buying, just go talk to the man himself.
I hope one day am invited to the show
interesting, not a single rolex or hype watch. Much respect
Jean Arnault he is so humble but he glows...
Really like the stories behind each piece, and how unique they are!
beautiful watches!!!
Respect!
What a lovely chap. Came across really well.

A splendid collection. Understated elegance.
they look very nice!
Nepo baby
Jean Arnault was interested in watches at a young age......
Wait fp isn’t independent anymore…?
WoW!!!!!
When he's not screaming 'do you know who my dad is' at bouncers....
That video is a parody. That's an actor. A comedic skit. Not Jean Arnault.
Nice collection and great guy! Keep going
Bravo
Pm : please make the original Tambour available again ! 😏
Very mature for a 24 year old.
Interesting !
Jean is so cute!!!
I like him
for once I don't have ROs being seared into my retina. hallelujah. sick collection
Not exactly humble beginnings.
he reminds me of the Franch American actor Timothée Chalamet
