    I love how his watches are more than just accessories or used used as status symbols; they're memories trapped in time. Stories told and passed down. And that is an incredible thing

    You should do a video on blue-collar or working style. This is relevant even if one does a day-job where he wears a suit. What does a stylish, suit-wearing banker put on to work in the garden or change a starter motor on his classic car? Do you just stop caring about how you look at that point, or is there a middle ground to be had? Do you always just hire a tradesman to do it for you? I crave classic style, but I work with my hands constantly for both enjoyment and income.

      From my experience, if you were an old-school old-money (that is inherited and not new-rich) guy and you liked to mow the grass in your garden, you would wear some old pullover (that maybe got a hole in the elbow), that old shirt (whose collar got shredded), the grey pants that got discolored and cannot be taken to the bank (or whatever your job is) anymore. Just my two cents, regards.

    Come posibile che quest' Italiano non ha un orologio di Panerai ? How is it possibile that this Italian doesn't have a Panerai watch ?

    • @jackapodaca5255
      @jackapodaca5255 6 лет назад +2

      Cierto, but Panerai is an Italian brand, founded by Giovanni Panerai (an Italian entrepeneur) and has its headquarters in Firenze (Florence).

    • @jackapodaca5255
      @jackapodaca5255 6 лет назад +2

      My friend, I am not disputing the fact that Panerai watches are Swiss-made. Yes, the movements are made and inspected in Switzerland, but believe it or not, Panerai began as an all-Italian brand on Ponte alle Grazie in Florence in 1860. Panerai had its humble beginnings as an exclusive supplier of watches for the Royal Italian Navy. It was not until the Richemont Group's (a Swiss brand) acquisition of Panerai in 1997, that Panerai began to adopt its identity as a Swiss-Italian brand. I absolutely do not deny that Panerai is in part a Swiss brand, but one must not ignore the brand's rich Italian history.

    • @massimo7219
      @massimo7219 6 лет назад

      Great comment, and that was more or less my point. Clearly this man is a connoisseur of fine watches, and was sad to see a watch native to his homeland didn't make it into his collection.

      @theoverlord1925 4 года назад

      John Laurence Well said I am sure he has a Panerai , any self respecting , serious Italian collector should have at least one Panerai. It is an Italian brand even if currently owned by Richemont.
