Talking Watches With Jack Nicklaus

  • It’s not often you get to be in the presence of true greatness. And I know on this site we tend to talk up how wonderful this watch is or how revelatory that watch is. We even, at at times, say things like “this is a once-in-a-lifetime” chance to see this or that. And we mean it when we say it, but we are speaking in relative terms, because we are, after all, talking about watches. But today, I'll speak in far more literal terms, because in this special episode of Talking Watches I talk to an actual living legend. In fact, just a few weeks ago in Palm Beach, Florida, I had the honor of sitting down with a man who is the very best in the world at something - someone who remains at the pinnacle of his sport, though his reign ended decades ago. I'm talking about Jack Nicklaus. Yes, the Jack Nicklaus. For the full story, go to www.hodinkee.com/articles/tal...

Much love from all your fans in beautiful BANGOR, MAINE where recreational marijuana is legal, home prices are still some of the lowest in the entire nation, auto insurance is the lowest in America, taxes are low and the scenery is absolute nirvana.

    The Golden Bear. Such a class act and nice guy. Great to see a successful man with a 1 watch collection. Not a trace of pretentiousness or arrogance and best of all, he doesn't have a horde of high end watches that get stored in a safety deposit box with zero wrist time. He's definitely my kind of guy. Heck, I remember my Dad and I watching Jack, Arnold, Chi Chi, and Lee Trevino compete back in the day on television. Such a simpler time back then...

  • @crybabyteamo

    Definitely one of the best episodes. Showing off a collection of rare and expensive watches impresses people, but telling about a unique emotional connection to one watch touches hearts. A true one-watch-guy's romance.

    Jack may have the ultimate "One Watch" collection! I can't even imagine what that watch will achieve in the auction world...$10M maybe? More? Congratulations on landing this interview, and thanks to Jack for sharing.

    • @quicksilv3r469
      @quicksilv3r469 6 лет назад +2

      Depends when it's sold. In about 20-30 years, Jack's watch is probably worth $50m. I think if he does sell it, bidders will take that into account. I wouldn't be shocked if it did sell for more than Newman's Daytona the first time around. Tiger isn't breaking the record.

    Nothing fake about this man. Just a great person. One watch for 53 years. That's what I want to have. I have owned many watches, and only one lasted 13 years. It was a Diesel. Not a Rolex, but still the longest I've owned one. I am in search of an automatic, that will be with me for the rest of my life. It won't be a Rolex, because I don't have that kind of money, but this particular video inspire to look for the one, that will go the distance.

    I bought an early 1990s Rolex Datejust two tone with jubilee bracelet 2 years ago and recently had thoughts about selling it to upgrade to the newest model. But after seeing Jack's watch, it made me think that if he can wear his Day Date for over 50 years and not upgrade his watch once, I can certainly be forever content with my watch too, even if it is older. Sometimes its a beautiful thing to just be humble and appreciate what you already have.

    Jack Nicklaus is a true hero, along with some of the sport of golfs' other greats. It's always inspiring to hear about their charity efforts and it, I think, inspires us all to appreciate what we have and, if we are lucky, what we are able to give to others in need and less fortunate than us - whether it be a family in need of shelter above their heads due to a hurricane or a family in need of food due to crop failure.
