  • There are certain moments in your life as a watch collector that you just don't forget. The first time you strap on a vintage Rolex. The first time you hear a truly exceptional minute repeater. They're milestones that also set the tone for everything that comes after. I can say, without reserve, that the afternoon I got to spend with René Beyer in the Uhrenmuseum Beyer is one of those moments for me.
    René's personal collection is one that has its roots in previous generations of his family, as many great collections do, and you can hear it in his voice when he talks about certain watches - they do far more for him than just keep time. Without further ado, this is Talking Watches with industry legend René Beyer. For the full story, go to www.hodinkee.com/articles/tal...

      Pieces this special are literally priceless. The moment you put a price on it in my opinion they're somewhat diminished. How much is the Mona Lisa worth? It's literally priceless, the moment you sell it for $700 Million, it's worth that much.

    • @TopStrikerMaverick

      I don’t think low brow would be an appropriate word here, maybe “under appreciated” would be a better term. Mondaine has a rich history and quite a good backstory.

    Thank you for this fantastic interview. I love the watches shown here including his father’s German Day-Date and the early Rolex Oyster on leather. And of course the Pateks. Very a beautiful Patek chrono.
    It is funny that my father has also given me a German Day-Date as a present for my 30th. It is the classic YG 118238 with champagne stick luminova dial and engraved rehaut. It must be a German tradition!
    Rolex and Patek will always be very dear to my heart. I still do not have a single Patek in my collection. My father has some beautiful high end watches from Breguet, ALS and JLC but he never bought a Patek for some reason. Not an AP for that matter.
    I am glad that I can share this love of watches with my father and I hope that when I have a son, I will also be able to share this passion with him and give him the same Day-Date my father has given me or perhaps my BLNR, my daily watch, as a starter watch, if steel remains popular 20-30 years from now.
