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...

One woman, one watch, one amazing life.
Well... About the woman part...
one money clip lol
@@NESTEAftw what do you mean?
A guy that in all his years in the public eye, has never had one controversial moment. He won and lost with class. Great husband and father. Pure class and the GOAT. Thanks!
Before the internet lol
Did you notice how sharp Jack is. He remembers all the minutia of the black marlin, the long drive, the dates, etc.. Pretty amazing man and a great story! Thanks.
Only 1 watch and still one of the best episodes of TW - loved it!!
*Exactly! I've been watching the bear for years and this was a video that couldn't be missed. 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. Spread the word! BANGOR, MAINE.*
Great to see one of my fav fragrance reviewer here :)
Thanks buddy!!
Yeah...this is just fantastic.
Cause it's been through so much didn't talks about movement or anything, just the stories and sometimes that's even more important than anything else.
Pure class. He is not only a great ambassador for golf and the sports world, but he's a great ambassador for the human species in general. Well done.
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...
Only one watch, yet still one of the best episodes of Talking Watches
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.
Lol, the 4 bad years joke was so smooth.
Talking watch with Jack Nicklaus
Aaahhh you beat me to it
Me too!! Fuck [leaves the video now]
me also.
Jack Nicklaus....wow what a thank you!!! Talking Watches raises the bar... and as for giving the proceeds to charity - true greatness!
Fine you can double your money....Ill give you $600 for it.
gamebred26 What a deal, he should take that 😂😂😂
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.
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.
Greatest golfer of all time and an even better person. Jack is an absolute class act. Just think what that watch will bring at auction!
I'm actually going to bid on it!
I would say millions
Paul Newman's daytona just sold for over 17 million....I'm guessing more than that for this one.
And great to think that that money will go to help kids in need through his charity. Just one more sign of class from this living legend.
What a man, what a legend. What a watch....and humble with it.
The "Forever Watch" does exist! What a delight to watch!!!
I will start saving all my pennies and hopefully own a new one off the store.
He was great in "The Shining". In all seriousness, Nicklaus is the real deal, great guy.
That's Jack Nicholson
phototristan lol
Tao Leo Are you sure?
lol
The picture at 7:17, the sport LEGENDS in that pic! I doubt there will ever be a greater collection of athletic talent in any picture ever again! AMAZING

Great stories from a great man ! Very humble a class act.
I love how this gentleman has a modest view of his possessions.
The best 7 minutes I've had on YT that I can remember. Thanks for sharing.
I’ve seen this episode about 10 times now and I get emotional every single time I do.. this is the best episode ever.
Jack seems like an awesome guy. He has so many memories with that watch.
No one will ever top this story. The time and legacy this man and watch has shared is unsurpassable. What a story.
My wrist broke the sound barrier clicking on this video
what about your finger?
Lance Pickell Is your watch okay?
Saw Jackat the Marriott in Atlanta perimeter center in 1980...he had that Rolex President on....amazing how many places and how many photos that Rolex President has been in.
Great show, thank you.
Good human and good personality. God Bless him
This is a stunningly well produced short film. Great work by the whole team.
What a gentleman, we all can learn from him
I never comment but this video was absolutely amazing. Thank you!
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'd like to hear more stories about one watch person, i think it's more intimate and interesting sometimes to hear their stories rather than a collector.
Jack Nicklaus & Bobby Jones.
Are just beyond measure, in their thought, achievements & the positive impact... Cheers!
The first Talking Watches video where we're not talking about the watch! Just shows that what makes something special is not how much it costs but the memories and associations that go with it. This video would have been just as good if it was a Timex. Class act.
AMAZING! That watch is PRICELESS
My most favorite of all your videos thus far. Thank you.
This is the reason why I watch these series. The stories behind the watches are everything. And all possible because he used a watch the way it was meant to be used.
I guess the only thing Jack has been collecting is trophies
I'm in love with this episodes and this one particularly was so great , only one watch and still amazing history about.
Thanks for talking watches to a great golfer. Amazing. I still have my watch from 1965 that my grandmother gave me. I've got my Seiko watch from Vietnam circa 1968. 🦅 Eaglegards...
this a my favorite episode so far... thank you for sharing this video
This has to be one of the best episodes so far. Good stuff !!
It's strange... I visited the Rolex showroom at Hong Kong airport when I was waiting for a connecting flight, but they didn't ask me to choose a free watch as a thanks for being there.... : \
This mans achievements are only overshadowed by his wonderful humility.
What a wonderful gentleman, they don't make em like that anymore I guess. Great new concept for Talking Watches, I really enjoyed it.
One of the best episodes of talking watches
Beautiful story from a wonderful man.
What a fantastic interview! Jack Nicklaus is one amazing man who has one amazing lady as his partner. Amazing.
Jack Nicklaus is a class act and an half! Great champion and man.
HODINKEE! We need more talking watches! By far the most entertaining and inspiring segment
This is a cool episode. I like how this vid captured his personal relationship with his timepiece.
This is hands down the best Talking Watches episodes ever.
Unreal, one of the best yet !
OH yea, Ben Love the ceramic Daytona on your wrist !!!!
Wow, I was here when the first episode premiered and I never missed one, this is my favorite episode by far.
It just goes to show, you only really need one watch. Great interview.
Much respect and admiration for the humanitarian commitment. Thank you! You are a true inspiration.
Class act as always, interesting to see how through the years and changing fashions the watch really holds up!! Some great pics in there..
Favorite series! Great episode!
Great interview that showcases the relationship between a watch and a man. Jack's a great ambassador for the game and for life in general.
Until now my previous favorite Talking Watches video was John Goldberger....This is a fantastic interview with a completely down to earth, grounded, and honorable man. Thank you Hodinkee for this interview.
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.
jeromio_peezy / You are a class act too sir. Most intelligent comment I have read in a long time. Cheers.
well said, bro
Brilliant, absolute gentleman and what a role model should be. Lovely watch and episode.
I want that particular effing watch that he personally owned for my collectibles.
I absolutely love Hodinkee and this episode was one of the best..!!
+1! One of the BEST TW! This is a real tribute to a man and his watch! Thanks !
I like everything about this gentleman. He understands the value of the piece and how much it has meant to him that he will not just pass it down to his kids. On top of that, great true stories without being cocky about it and just genuine class for everything he has dine with his life.
Wow... How simple yet how wonderful!! It felt as though I was hypnotized for 8 minutes.
A true one watch collection that blows anyone else's "collection".
This watch records his achievements and career, is a life partner.
What a stunning piece of film. Rich with history and respect for an icon.
Great Job , Jack seems like a real genuine and appreciative individual who deserves all his success And by the way I love his taste in watches
Amazing! Good to see Ben back!
Awesome man a class act I love him so much thanks for all the memories
ONE watch his whole life. I love that!!
Its not about the value of the watch, but the memories and sentiments acquired during your lifetime!! ✌🏿love this episode
Great to see Jack on Hodinkee. This the best video about watches I have seen, thanks for sharing your history with us on youtube. Awesome
One of my all time hero’s . A true mans man. What a guy.
The greatest video and yet, only ONE watch. So much history
Pure class, great interview, thanks!
Best episode to date! Thanks
Great Jack Nicklaus video.
One of the best episodes.
Nice interview. A true champ.
What an awesome interview with an awesome guy. Jack is the best.
What a fantastic story and interview.
Did anyone else click "like" before they even watched this? Well done, Ben.
This is the best episode by far.
Class act all the way around.
Fantastic interview, pure class.
BIG Thanks Hodinkee. A Top Notch interview indeed. One life-partner, One fish (albeit massive), One watch, One money-clip, One helluva guy.
Ben, another great video and an amazing story of a legend and his watch
Wonderful interview!
great story and even better episode!
Great interview and a great episode! The Golden Bear has always been and still is a true gentleman!
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.
Pure class
Pure class. What a legend
Love Jack!! Good taste in watches too!
Loved this episode. Best Talking Watches episode ever.
Just delightful!
Amazing video of an amazing man. Good job, Hodinkee.
