Talking Watches With Rhuigi Villaseñor, Creative Director Of Bally And Founder Of Rhude
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 авг 2024
- Few creatives right now are as in tune with contemporary culture as Rhuigi Villaseñor. The man behind old-school Swiss luxury house Bally and new-school Los Angeles fashion line Rhude was born in the Philippines and raised in LA, where today you’re just as likely to find him power lunching at the Beverly Hills Hotel with a media executive as you are to find him courtside at a Lakers game with a Grammy-winning rapper. He designs clothes for musicians, writers, actors, F1 drivers - once you know to look for the signature “Rh” and bright yellow accents from his label Rhude, you’re going to start seeing them everywhere.

Went to high school with this guy and he was without a doubt born to do what he’s currently doing. Nice guy, no air of pretentiousness, and he was ALWAYS known as the fashion king of school even 12 years ago. This man was wearing his own custom clothes to school when the rest of us were going to Hot Topic. Glad to see someone from that school actually do something with their life! Rhuigi wishing you continued success. Cheers to you!
Lmao bro is a scammer and always has been
AP, Rolex, PP and RM. How refreshing. It’s nice to see a Talking Watches where the person has such unique tastes.
lol
I know, right on!
underrated comment
Except the opening blue dial DateJust, the rest is standard nouveau riche tasteless « let’s spend money on watches ».
Is this the clientèle that LVMH is steering Hodinkee towards ? 🤔
My thoughts exactly
Ed Sheeran, Reference Points and Talking Watches, all within 2 weeks of each other. Seems like Hodinkee is listening to its fanbase, at last!
Now they got us excited again, theyll take a year off before posting again 😭.
@@SteveJobIess yes, hopefully they will keep a healthy flow of good quality content coming. They need to find a balance between their commercial work and content creation.
Being a kid who grew up without, when you make the means, first you have to see what it's like to have everything, then you can decide what really matters to you. It's a journey. I'm excited to see this guy keep building.
You sure he grow up poor? His dad had luxury watches and cars
Bingo 🎯
One of the better talking watches to be fair. Seems like he legitimately loves watches, but more importantly loves all the watches he has! class.
I see Talking Watches, I click! The AP perpetual skeleton would be my pick here but overall a great selection!
That’s me when it comes to Swiss Watch Gang. 👍
Your watch interviews are better 👏👏👏
Dress watch’s are the epitome of the watch world! Happy to see them coming back. Sport models are cool but dress watches are class!
Such a strong collection all with a story. Rhuigi representing for the 🇵🇭🇺🇸🙌🏽
He makes a point in the video about appreciating dress watches. That is very much my thing. Nothing against sports watches but I feel everybody jumps into them and dress watches get little love by comparison but as he states dress watches is really what started it all. Getting dressed up and wearing a nice dress watch or dressy watch.
Sports watches are still nice because it’s what ur gonna wear everyday if u haven’t got a job where the dress watch suits ur clothing . Also the prices for dress watches aren’t juiced up so u should be happy tbh .
@@cornmill6516 I'm not hating. Just giving credit it was pointed out. I am happy that dress/dressy watches are more affordable. With that said, I would wear a dressy watch as a daily watch. Obviously not for heavy work, but anything else yes.
@@planetdee3587 Yh I agree tbh I just don’t have a job suited for dress watches so it’s annoying
@@cornmill6516 I completely agree with you. That is why I try to wear my dressy pieces every time I am off. I love getting dresses up or casual dressed up when I am off and wear the watches that go with it. Not saying I have not worn a sports watch with a dressy/casual dressy look every now and then but I have a high dressy vs sporty ratio in my collection.
@@planetdee3587 p
As a longstanding fan of his brand I’m so glad to see Rhuigi get the recognition he deserves. What An inspiring story, timeless brand and flawless watch collection.
agree
Mans is so chill, so thoughtful. Been a fan of Rhude for a while, and great to see him here.
also good to see SJP back in the fold.
Another great video, but I would love to see people with more affordable pieces in there collection. Also more pieces outside of Rolex, AP, and Patek. I'd love to see collectors with Grand Seiko, Cartier, and even Omegas would be nice.
I’m sorry but a majority are not interested in that so I disagree.
@@burritomaker69 Yep, same old same old. Yawn...
I just wrote the very same thing! Cheers to you!
I get and understand why most have the same watches, because they interview people with money. It is totally understandable. They need to interview regular people to see collections that have Seiko, Hamilton, Citizen and all the many watch brands the normal folk would own.
But people like to invest in watches that will hold their value Rolex,AP and Patek do that,the ones you mentioned generally don’t so you can’t blame them although I’m sure a lot of theses guys have Omegas and Grand Seikos
Rhuigi says so little in so many words
Well done. It was nice to bring back SJ Pulvirent to conduct the interview. More power to Rhuigi Villaseñor, a kababayan and his awesome collection
Or did they just record it before he left?
what a joy!! at last!!! seeing one of your " kababayan" wearing an RM... proud moment
Nice to see my man Steven collaborating with Hodinkee again. Great collection 👏
Please Lord give us talking watches with Jay-Z 🤩
that would be a full length movie hahaha
Yeah but would he do it is the question? I mean it’s Jay Z he’s not easy to get
Great episode ....he is so humble and charismatic...and has the true love of what collecting watches really is...and great colkection....collection.... was not familiar with him or his brand but I know am learning....thank you! Hodinke....
Yeah what it’s all about seeing a music video and thinking that guy gets girls I want that watch. So shallow.
@@whatmemories3728 I mean, he was 9 years old when that video he was talking about came out. What did you want him to say?
Now we know how his selection grew so fast..
Great episode. Really nice to see Hodinkee feature a collector that is interested in different, lesser-known brands from those which we regularly see on Talking Watches.
All he talked about was Rolex, AP and Patek. Lesser known brands? Did we watch the same video? :)
@@Chris_BQ that fact might lead you to believe there was an element of sarcasm, no ?
@@Chris_BQ heavy sarcasm intended.
Oh haha ok my bad....i seem to have properly missed that... Sowwy ;)
The watches here are boring. Especially that fugly RM.
I guess his taste became worse. The Rolexes were good.
Would have been nice to see some Sinn, Lange and others. I knew that wasn't going to happen when i saw him wearing that cap though.
Loved how he brought up the RM watch but focused on the journey to obtain it vs the actual watch itself. It was so subtle yet luxurious at the same time. Amazing
amazing! never heard of these brands! definitely learned something today about haute horlogerie!!!
I love how much effort hodinkee makes these days to talk about ......
AP, Rolex, RM… shocking!
just came out this guys been embezzling money from his company; using it to fund collections like this instead of paying his colleagues. kinda funny he made it to hodinkee.
Prass made it to Hodinkee as well. Twice! "Political...agendas..."
Wow a video about a rich dude who has blinged out Rollie’s, AP, Patek, RM…such a unique collection. Thank you Hodinker!
I think I could have correctly guessed 90% of his collection just based on his appearance.
@@Bwnunley320 you surprised that a rich guy has expensive watches
@@marcelohendrix6139 Nope. Rich people earned their money and can buy whatever they want. I just find these episodes less interesting when it’s a rich guy who went on a spree. I prefer the ones with folks who have rare watches they appreciate.
@@Bwnunley320 how did go on a spree when there’s a clear story of how it started & how it’s going? if he just splurged money he wouldn’t waste time with a date just or a two tone rolex
@@marcelohendrix6139 I’m glad you enjoyed the video. Not my favorite. I feel like if watches went away tomorrow, people like this would just go collect something else to fulfill that need. I prefer hearing about collections with more sentimental value.
You get a real sense of his taste evolving as you look at the watches.
What happens when all the watches are the same but the people are different? Might become just a Talking with people video.
So proud of this true Fil-Am Creative!
fav episode so far, I loved seeing Rhuigi's passion as he talked about each piece!
4 minutes in and I still don't know who he is..
Would be nice to have a little intro about the guest at the beginning of the vid.
He’s an artist and he showed it there. The mind of an artist is to always have a direction, to go from point A to point B. Even if they don’t know what or where or how to get to point B. It’s always looking for that direction. That path. He lives this way so his watch collection is in that journey with him. That’s what’s beautiful about watches. It’s time. It’s a journey within a journey.
Just a huge fan of Hodinkee. Great content, and it's refreshing to see a company made up of people who truly love the market segment they are in. Keep it up.
Least exciting episode yet.
This hits home! 🇵🇭
Respect for what he's managed to achieve. Don't understand the collection or the clothing brand. But it's his collection not mine.
I would love to see Steve Hallock from tick-tocking on talking watches. His collection is very unique and he is definitely a true watch enthusiast. Tbh many of us are tired of seeing 20 piece rolex collections and nautiluses. He would be a breath of fresh air
Hes a watch dealer.
@@kaiserphoenix01 yes, his selections are great. Similar to A Collected Man but he handles more avant-garde style watches like Urwerk and Greubel Forsey
A “Talking Watches II” with Paramico is just what the doctor ordered, hopefully soon.
Real nice to see a self made man on his watch journey
Real nice collection and may both keep growing for you both your hobby and your business
Thank you
"It was my b'day, so I bought me a Patek." Please keep sharing such awe-inspiring stories!
Meeh episode. Dont know anything. Dont have any stories. Just a rich fellow
For a guy who wants to bring attention to dress watches, his collection is definitely heading in a questionable direction
Nice to see a fellow Filipino in this channel!
This is such a boring collection, everyone has Rolex, AP and PP. Do these guys buy their underwear in the same color as well?
Sounds like someone’s jealous
Who cares man those pieces are what they can afford.
@@dunkingstudios I am not jealous. But as a watcher of the channel, all I see is the same watches over and over again.
@@youraveragepasser-by7367 Sure, let them have what they can afford. But it's a bit tiring seeing the same type of collector over and over again.
@@diavalus so? Let people buy what they want. They don’t need a guy on RUclips telling them what watch to buy
need this one, been peeping Rhuigi's watches for a minute, nice to see this. good job
Wow way to go kababayan! 🇵🇭
I had to look up who this guy is and I’m impressed. Such an ambitious and knowledgeable guy. Hope he remains humble and grounded. Nice content Hodinkee.
The phrase Money for old rope springs to mind
Reference points and new talking watches?!?! Is it my birthday or something ? What a way to kick off 2022 maybe we’ll have Ellen Degeneres on an episode soon
No thanks to Ellen
@@youraveragepasser-by7367 why not? She has some really rare and vintage pieces.
@@SteveFWatches terrible person. Wouldn't want her on Hodinkee
The Nothing Lasts tattoo at 10:51 is fitting considering his allegations
What a cool humble guy.
Can we please please please please get an episode with John Malkovich !!
The 5990 🔥 well done
First like is from your favorite brand, Riddah!
Who???
Swiss gang tops talking watches by a mile and a half!!!. You guys should check out their watch collection interviews. First thing to fix is the short video duration of most talking watches👌👌👌
Rolex, AP and Patek? Never heard of those brands. Nice to see him focusing on rarity pieces.
This guy isn’t even 30 yet and has amassed a beautiful collection while still being humble enough to admit he’s still learning. You? A nobody being smug in the comments while revealing you’re a just a petty crumb.
Congrats. You’re *that* guy
HE s Cool , Love to see sombody with an own style
Stanning collection, that Daytona is a beauty.
This man has a very unique and well rounded collection
My favorite is the Day-Date. Great interview, very enjoyable to watch.
The Interviewer did a pretty god job on this one ! How they talk about the brand and the meaning of the watches is amazing ! Really good job :)
One of the best talking watches by far. Now you guys should bring Jakob Hetzer into the show. Rhuigi asked him to help with his brand when he had just started helping consulting different people/brands.
Rolex - AP - Patek - Rolex - AP - Patek - Rolex - AP - Patek - Rolex - AP - Patek - Rolex - AP - Patek - Rolex - AP - Patek - Rolex - AP - Patek - Rolex - AP - Patek - Rolex - AP - Patek
-It's sad to see this focus on the same brands over and over again... 🥱
I thought Stephen left Hodinkee?
Beautiful Ruigi watch collection, I like the Rolex mother of pearl Daytona, the Rolex Pearl Master and the Two Patek Nautilus, and the two Audemars Piguet.
This is a fun one ☝️ It’s nice to mix these in.
Cool dude, the last AP Perpetual suits him great 👍
Incredible collection
I remember buying all 3 colors of the bandana tee when they came out. happy for the dudes succsess
I can see him wearing a A. Lange & Söhne Zeitwerk. Somehow it fits to him.
Another great video, but i wished Hodinkee can also include interviews with common people like you and me. You know, people who cant even dream of getting a DayDate, have no chance of being allocated a RM/PP/AP/Rolex. People who get the mid-tier brands like Omega, Tissots, Cartiers and have a story of telling us s/he spent years saving up just to purchase a Rolex on secondary market.
More excited to see SJP back on Hodinkee than anything else !
Wow, a Rolex. How original.
Nothing against the man but this is a rather dull collection.
I stopped watching when he picked up the RM.
Yup! Had me at the cool Daytona. Lost me at the RM.
A surprising Talking Watches. Extremely broadening and enjoyable.
Thanks, Steven
I enjoy seeing these extremely valuable collections, but not as much as I enjoy seeing collections with more affordable watches that have more of a story behind them.
Buying a super expensive watch and saying it means something just because it defined the moment you could afford it, is a very common story that isn't really that interesting to anyone but the person who bought it.
I much prefer collectors who explain why they loved a watch enough to buy it, rather than I bought this because I couldn't afford that.
Been waiting for this one
When i see a collection with only Rolex, AP and PP then i have an opinion about the collector. Wonderful brands but he chooses all the hyped up popular models. He probably doesnt know about Blancpain, Chopard, A Lange Sohne etc. There much more horology outside the Rolex, AP and PP.
What a Gentleman
that was a great episode!
Vogue is passion and art ! Like watchmaking
Stunning modern collection
Finally, a Filipino American in Talking watches! Hodinkee, you should look at the collectors here in the Philippines!
You gotta do a Talking Watches with Guy Laliberte (the Cirque du Solei owner and poker player), he has some nice pieces.
Do slash next!
I love dress watches! Let's Goooo!!! Next hot market.
Great video. Nice to hear the stories behind his watches
No idea who this guy is but he has the money to buy expensive watches and he'd like to continue purchasing more expensive watches in the future. That's about all I walked away from this with. No offense but kind of a boring dude without much to say beyond, "Yea, I have this one...I like it."
Bueeena, obviamente el reloj va con la ropa que llevas, muy importante hacer una perfecta combinación 😌👌
More talking watches please
What a soulless collection. Most is looking brand new and the most popular models.
favorite one yet
Such a great guest and a great video!!
My first time to see a collector showing Rolex, AP and Patek 🤷
There are other brands: BREGUET, CARTIER, PIAGET... nothing new this episode and no interesting.
Boring AF.
Yes, you are building...and you will have it all. Because what you have now is nothing.
Childs mind in a child's body
Before I even watch this, let me guess - Rolexes, Royal Oaks and Nautiluses. Maybe I'll be surprised by some extra special Richard Mille or maybe some custom, blinged out Hublot? Would I be crazy to think there was a Vacheron Constantin or a Lange in there? 1 gets you 10 that there probably isn't.
oh yeah, so annoying to see the same brands (Rolex, AP, PP) in basically every collection. Wow, you have some form of complication Nautilus? Thats like...every other guy on this show.
Pharrell was rockin the RM’s back then too!
Major influence
Kabayan!
Great guy, great video!
Is Stephen back or was this recorded before he left Hodinkee?
