Definitely. And this is my favorite of this series so far. I like that he could mix and pay respect to icons while picking up pieces that are off the beaten road
This is filling the gap that Hodinkee's talking watches left behind. Im so tired of seeing the same Daytonas and Pateks of rich actors, musicians, etc. So much more relatable to hear these stories and watches.
Really? Besides that Aquastar and blue Tudor nothing special. Others are million times seen watches everywhere else. And I say that as a lover of Junghans and Doxa.
"The right kind of ugly..." That is the perfect summation of the Doxa Sub 300 Professional, my first dive watch back in 1969. Definitely an enjoyable and informative interview. Thanks.
My favourite series of this channel. Absolutely refreshing to listen to the regular, hardworking, successful "man next door" talk about his watches and what they mean to him. Also they usually talk about items which I can actually afford! Rather than "ok here's my diamond studded platinum Daytona blessed by John Mayor". I mean really, this man has a Stowa. Nobody on RUclips has ever talked about a Stowa!
I love this segment. Love seeing the collections of the "normal" people, not just the rich celebrities with their rainbow daytonas, platinum nautilus or 5M RMs that are just unobtainable to us mere mortals (nothing wrong with those watches though, love them all). And seeing the people that actually love watches talking about them and not just showing off expensive pieces. Keep it up :)
If it wasn’t already a foregone conclusion, with this series Teddy is on the top of the watch content mountain. No pretense whatsoever, genuine watch love going on in these.
A wonderfully personal exploration of a designer's take on watch design. I enjoyed seeing his choices. I happen to have the same appreciation for well-crafted design and for his draw towards minimalism. A terrific addition to the Real Collectors series.
This is the best collection video yet, thank you Teddy and of course Matt. Every piece stunning, especially the fuggly ones! Must be the designer in me clicking with Matt and his watches. Watches really are one of the purist statements of every element of design rolled into one - so many designer are obsessed with them and I am sure I'm not the only one who "plays" drawing watches on 3d modelling programmes instead of video games! 🫣
It's refreshing and interesting to see collections of watches from "ordinary" people, as opposed to fabulously wealthy celebrities with their six-figure timepieces, and to listen to them talk with pride and appreciation about watches that many more people can afford and most likely think about in terms of acquiring for themselves. Adam Levine on Hodinkee with his jewel-encrusted Daytona was quite the spectacle, but this is more satisfying to hear a "regular dude" graphics designer explain what he likes about his more down to earth watch selections.
Such a beautiful collection with an excellent taste. Congratulations I own 3 of them as well: - Junghans Max Bill (manual version 34mm) - the khaki Field - CWC (Hamilton version) And I have to say that they sre my favourite among my little collection. What is missing here according to me is the extraordinary SINN U50. Just for the unforgettable design
I am a profesional graphic designer and Hamilton is also the brand that got me into watches and down into this rabbit hole hahaha.! Its all about the aesthetics and the dials but also color combinations!
Teddy, this series is really hitting the sweet spot that Hodinkee’s Talking Watches has left behind. Except you’re doing it a hell of a lot better than Hodinkee ever did. There’s no pretentiousness, no air of arrogance, and no watch snobbery from any of your guests. Well done.
What a nice epiisode, I really don't hear talking about watch design as often as i should, it's always heritage this, heritage that, but the eye wants its part too!
Great episode, my favorite so far. This is the first time I felt a little attracted to a Rolex or a Tudor, but that's because these guys are so persuasive and passionate. I still think the best in the collection are the most humble: the Junghans and the Stowa. ❤
This series from Teddy ‘the watches of a …’ and the watchbox studios collector conversation are what i look forward to every month. I just wish Teddy would be able to find more time out of his busy schedule to do this series more often.
@teddy please keep coming videos from common guys because watching these type of videos from common man gives us motivation that one day i could have my watch collection 😊…
Wonderful series Teddy and team! Purchased my fourteenth watch from your team and they make superb gifts. Would you consider doing a series for Writers, Journalists, Editors? Thanks.
I'm also enjoying the real-life guest videos; thanks for doing that. I would love to know more about the designer and his work. I can't get his last name. Do you have a portfolio link?
Great watches and such a cool collector. I love how these watches are unique and different from the mainstream. Interesting how there is a Sub in the collection then the Aquastar completely different targets.
Great video. I knew the guy would have a Junghans in his collections but I’m surprised he has so many tool watches. As a brand expert, I thought he would have the Cartier Tank and Tag Heuer Monaco too.
Love the Doxa, I have a black dial but also looking for the orange. I'm old enough to remember Jacques Cousteau on TV when I was very young and his classic orange dial Doxa. The orange actually serves an important purpose, it is the last spectrum of colour you can see before pitch black. Perfect fora dive watch.
These come across as very authentic and real. As opposed to Hodinkee's offerings, which quite often are more performative and hypey. Great job at staying grounded Teddy!
This is my favorite series of the channel right now. So cool to watch people show and tell their stories of their watches.
I am glad you are enjoying it! Thanks for watching.
I hope tou do more of these @@TeddyBaldassarre
Definitely. And this is my favorite of this series so far. I like that he could mix and pay respect to icons while picking up pieces that are off the beaten road
Couldn't agree more, it's amazing to hear the stories behind the watches and their passion.
Agreed. It helps to see more than the watch
This is filling the gap that Hodinkee's talking watches left behind. Im so tired of seeing the same Daytonas and Pateks of rich actors, musicians, etc. So much more relatable to hear these stories and watches.
I disagree. I find the hodinkee talking watches to be inspiring and aspirational.
I agree with you, also their episodes are short ones ...
Couldnt agree more! I just read your comment after posting mine ahah More of these please, Teddy!
You are absolutely right. What a grounded and informative segment. This one of the reasons why Teddy is closing in fast on one million subscribers.
This guy has by far the best taste ever in watches on this channel.
Really? Besides that Aquastar and blue Tudor nothing special. Others are million times seen watches everywhere else. And I say that as a lover of Junghans and Doxa.
Lol stop projecting
Great video. I love his collection. Just a true watch enthusiast, no snobbery.
"The right kind of ugly..." That is the perfect summation of the Doxa Sub 300 Professional, my first dive watch back in 1969.
Definitely an enjoyable and informative interview. Thanks.

This is your best interview to date! Natural, good pacing and obviously fun.
I love the diversity of this guy's watch collection. It's clearly from a place of love.

Just when I think I've had enough of watching watch videos Teddy makes a video like this.
I love it.
Great video. Good to see a burly hunk of a lad and his tool watches!
Perfect collection explained perfectly. Deep knowledge of why each piece was selected.
Wow that Stowa was stunning 👌🏽awesome series, great vid!
this dude is spot on regarding the Hamilton. It has been so right for so long.
Nailed it with this one Teddy, Matt’s collection and storytelling is spectacular
If it wasn’t already a foregone conclusion, with this series Teddy is on the top of the watch content mountain. No pretense whatsoever, genuine watch love going on in these.
This was an absolutely fantastic episode, couldn’t agree more with the points made and the perspectives shared.
A wonderfully personal exploration of a designer's take on watch design. I enjoyed seeing his choices. I happen to have the same appreciation for well-crafted design and for his draw towards minimalism. A terrific addition to the Real Collectors series.
This is a great interview. Please keep these type of videos coming.
One of the best "talking watches" episodes ever. Great job and phenomenal taste.
Such a cool diverse collection
Love the stories and reasoning behind all the pieces
This series is fantastic, more of this please Teddy

Teddy has a gift, that many interviewers lack, of knowing when to shut up and let the guest speak.
This is so much more enjoyable than the usual „ this is a 39mm with a XYZ movement Blabla“ RUclips watch content! Phantastic!
Fascinating, thanks Teddy. I'm also really enjoying this quite unique series.
Absolutely LOVE that Omega on that nice “piece of leather”. Great collection, but that Omega … 😍
Thanks for sharing the passion.
I absolutely love this interview and his amazing collection.
More of these please Teddy! I love collection discussions more than any other watch content out there.
A wonderful collection. The blue BB58 has to be on everyone’s list. It is certainly on mine. Possibly the most significant watch of the last decade.
What a beautiful collection. Exactly matches my taste. Love the watches and the stories behind them!
Love this collector conversation series. Great selection of watches and not the usual suspects.
Thanks Teddy! I really enjoyed the perspective and insights of this graphic designer. More of this please!
Great video! Great collector! True passion! More please!
This series is fantastic….keep them coming👍🏻👍🏻
Love these kind of video with a guest!

Love these collector interviews teddy, you need to do more of them 😊
I really respect him highlghting humility in watches. He comes across as a really humble man himself too. Great interview.
Awesome collection! Matt has a great taste 😎
Such a beautiful collection with an excellent taste. Congratulations
I own 3 of them as well:
- Junghans Max Bill (manual version 34mm)
- the khaki Field

Teddy with the "ineffable," whoa! Great conversation and a beautiful collection...
These interviews Teddy does highlighting collections are my favorite! Great job Teddy! 😎🙌🏻
I come here to oficially say that this was my favorite Watch Collection video of 2024.
What a great video, what a great collection, what a great guy.
Great interview, thank you! It’s nice to hear the view from a designer’s perspective. Helps to broaden my perspective!
loved hearig Matt. and great series Teddy, And I like how this series probably feels more relatable with not just unattainable watches
Wonderful collection and conversation. Thank you!
Another great video
Teddy and the team really are doing it best these days
Great job Teddy! Looking forward to more of these interviews!
He is a legend.. his thought process is good design in the true sense,
Matt has the best watch instagram, probably of all time. Smooth getting him in for a video Teddy!!
This was a great installment. Thanks!
Thanks for watching!

Well done.
Best series yet
That was a very cool episode, it's always fun to see those type of collections and collectors why they like a certain piece.
Love these collector deep dives, and you let them do most of the talking too. Nice work. 😁
"The right kind of ugly". Love the collection. So much versatility.
What a nice epiisode, I really don't hear talking about watch design as often as i should, it's always heritage this, heritage that, but the eye wants its part too!
CWC Gang!!! It’s awesome getting a designers perspective on watches.
Great episode, my favorite so far. This is the first time I felt a little attracted to a Rolex or a Tudor, but that's because these guys are so persuasive and passionate. I still think the best in the collection are the most humble: the Junghans and the Stowa. ❤

very elegant and diverse collection... Thanks Teddy
What a killer collection. True watch enthusiast right there
What a great solid collection, love the retro style theme
Great job! I shared this with my brother-in-law who is a graphic designer. Design x science = watch enthusiast 😊.
Very cool to see Tomar's watches, this is a crossover I never would have expected
Great video, Teddy! Very well done 👏
Best TB video yet.
I love this series Teddy. Keep doing these.
Wouldn't call this 'an original series' but the content is spot on. At least something different and unique.
I love these kinds of series!
@teddy please keep coming videos from common guys because watching these type of videos from common man gives us motivation that one day i could have my watch collection 😊…
The Aquastar is phenomenal.
Great series..reminds us that it’s more than just the watch per se but the story behind its conception and the people who wear them.
Love the Real Collectors series!
Love this type of video. More of these.
I’m a big Aquastar fan. First time I’ve actually seen one on a series like this. Very nice collection.
Great show. One of your best. More like it.
Wonderful series Teddy and team! Purchased my fourteenth watch from your team and they make superb gifts. Would you consider doing a series for Writers, Journalists, Editors? Thanks.
Wow. That Tudor does scream road America! Awesome collection.
Perfect collection - great taste!
THIS is a great episode
Nice, didn‘t know he was the man behind the „The Grey Nato“ logo! Thanks for this video Teddy.
I'm also enjoying the real-life guest videos; thanks for doing that. I would love to know more about the designer and his work. I can't get his last name. Do you have a portfolio link?
Excellence all round, as always. Teddy, would love to learn more about your approach and choices for your footwear, please.
That Stowa is an amazing one, extremely well design, the black dial one will be equally good
Love the Omega browdarrow too.....
Love these vids Teddy! Keep these up!
Great watches and such a cool collector. I love how these watches are unique and different from the mainstream. Interesting how there is a Sub in the collection then the Aquastar completely different targets.
Great video. I knew the guy would have a Junghans in his collections but I’m surprised he has so many tool watches. As a brand expert, I thought he would have the Cartier Tank and Tag Heuer Monaco too.
I can totally relate to Junghans max bill, it’s my first watch too ❤
Please more videos like this teddy!
Love the Doxa, I have a black dial but also looking for the orange. I'm old enough to remember Jacques Cousteau on TV when I was very young and his classic orange dial Doxa.

Great video. Really enjoyed it
