- There is a small handful of vintage watch collectors in this world that can truly be called "market-makers." John Goldberger is one of them. Another is the 45-year-old, tan-skinned, silver-haired gentleman you are about to meet. Alfredo Paramico is a true insider, and has long been considered one of the top watch buyers on the planet. Remember that unique platinum Patek Philippe Bulletin Chronometer that sold for $3,992,858 in November of 2012? You know, the watch that actually beat the Eric Clapton owned platinum 2499 in the same sale? Yes, Alfredo bought that. A 1518 in steel? He's owned one of those, too. This is your chance to go inside the collection of a true connoisseur. This is Talking Watches with Alfredo Paramico. For the full story, go to www.hodinkee.co...
it's fun to go back and re watch these as you gain more watch knowledge
absolutely, I was thinking the same thing
Every other month.
I thought I was the only one! I go back to older videos and like how I understand and appreciate the watches more!
yup, I've gone back and watched Mayer's a couple times.
Everybody does! Ha.
This guy is the top of the food chain....25 million in watches. Fund manager from Milan.
Incredible collection....actually the best collection in the world.
Ivan M. I think the best watch collection in the whole world is owned by the one and only John Goldberger.
@@znd4417 I think the best watch collection in the world is owned by Philippe Stern
Ivan M. 🤯
I thought the 25 million was his net worth lol.
Him and JCB surely two of the GOATS
"bring in a special omega" *brings in one of the most important omegas ever*
+Ettick thee first chrono ever....prototype. wow.
Lol
This sure beats Kevin O'Leary talking about his "la collection" with his red rubber straps!!¨
Daniel D'Esposito I think you pronounced collection wrong 😂
Kevin O Leary is a joke "collector".
His colleczione is from the mayzon!
He is proof that a lot of money doesnt give class
That blasphemy he calls "Colleczion". Even Teddy was horrified by the red straps
What a stunning collection, not just the importance of the pieces....such good taste too! che meraviglia!
The Urban Gentry TGV in tha house!
Meravigliosi vintage ,complimenti .
Rich Buddy salty!! surely you dont know about the brands or horology and definitely dont own one... shut the fuck up and wear your Daniel Wellington...
Rich Buddy Vintage Longines kills Patek on every possible level. Where’s Patek’s in-house flyback chrono movement?
The Urban Gentry you got me in to watches! I just bought the intersteller hamilton. And now I found your comment here so fun!
His watchmaker must have balls of steel when servicing this collection.
Rose gold balls, more appropriate 😂
Jesus of Nazareth... this dude. I feel like my life game would get stronger just by standing in the same room as him.
I want to breathe the same air as him
I'm just trying to afford a second hand Tudor Pelagos.... then comes this guy haha.
Out of all the "talking " series I think this episode is the most "delicious"
shashank jain ayyy
Could we have a Part 2 of this incredible collection
This is by far the best collection I have seen, has complete class, rarity, and history behind every piece. Money very wisely spent!
I love that he downplays his collection so much... When he says stuff like "not so many" he really means that a die-hard watch collector would kill to touch one xD
This feels like one of the most important collections ever. He loves vintage which is so evident and he likes to be unique. I love this.
That's why Italy is regarded as the birthplace of style. You don't even need to listen to him talk about his passion of collecting watches and you get the sense that this man has taste. Just make a quick comparison of what they are wearing, which is the exact same thing: V neck and a shirt. One looks like a grandad... and the other one is Alfredo Paramico.
This dude is alpha as fuck
urbane af
he's on TRT
This collection is something else. Incredible
Alfredo is such a gentleman who apparently know how to spend money on watches unlike some guys from the word of sport or music (for example). No diamonds, no fancy (kitschy) Hublot, Franch Muller, Rolex and other posing brands. This is probably the best collection ive ever seen and i guess its just a 10% of his collection.
el serbio what makes rolex a posing brand and patek not ?
You know shit. He loves Rolex and collects them. He actually likes diamonds
and stones, look at his instagram. So stop talking.....
@@sirjohnsnowflakejr.3736 Rolex is the main 'posing' brand. I like Rolex, but they are. People who come into money, don't really know much about watches, but want people to think they do, they'll buy a Rolex. I'm not knocking Rolex here, they make great watches, but that is the downside of being so popular. I doubt Rolex see it as a downside.
Fully agree with you. Rolex is the "entry level" into serious watches and for most of us, it was the first serious watch. From there are only two roads. One to PP, VC, JLC, ALS and AP or the other way to Richard Mille, Hublot and other travesty brands.
So is Patek :-)
It's one thing to be rich. Another to collect only understated and elegant things. There are some mega expensive pieces here but none appears flashy and everything looks like he'd casually wear them without fuss. No massive gold and diamond pieces, just an eye for aesthetics, proportions & historical importance.
The way he says 'the booklets' at 9:51 is the best part of the video even though his collection is bananas
Love this, noticed it too! He becomes like a giddy kid.
Please do an updated video of this guy! He's so interesting, and what an incredible beautiful collection!!!! Also the watch he's been dreaming of exists and was found! He was right!
Still my all time favorite watch video!!
I sure would love to get to the point in my collection where my next “dream watch” literally may not even exist haha
Alfredo's collection is really a cut above - maybe my favorite Talking Watches segment
Great to see Longine getting some love!
In most of these showings I am drawn to a % of the watches in the collection. I adore all of these pieces. What an incredible collection and great taste
6:37 love that he is completely aware of the amazing pieces he owns, but still stays humble.
Alan Ruiz does he say “and I think it’s true, honestly” or “I don’t think it’s true , honestly”?
Lorenzo the first one. When he is told that “some people say he owns some of the most important Pateks” he says “which I think is true, honestly”.
Alan Ruiz ahh right. Yeah sorry that’s what I meant. Amazing collection
When I'm older.... I wish to be something like him
I need more of these 'Talking Watches' videos because the whole series is just great and really helps young men,like me,to find the correct path into wristwatch collecting...And Mr.Paramico's collection is probably the best one I have ever seen...I take my hat off ;)
Grandfather used wear longines love the respect for an underrated brand
This is what I love about the world of watches. This dude is chasing a story a myth of a patek. People in this community all know and love story telling. That connects all of us
Amazing taste. I swooned at nearly every one. Those Pateks blow my mind. What a classy european king of a man with the money and passion to see his collection take shape.
I want to age like this. Handsome, classy, and well-spoken.
Me to mate.. I'm far from being as old him, but it shows being a mature gent might not be so bad, if your willing to take care of yourself.
I am willing to be bold and fat and to have his collection 😉.
He works at it. Look up Alfredo Paramico WOD 14.1 on CZcams, he's a demon when it comes to staying in shape. Honestly I think he aims for perfection in everything,it's a lifestyle for him.
You can only do that if you have good taste and spend most of your time in Italy.
West Ham fans like us don't age well, unfortunately 😄
women love him, men want to be like him.
Pravoizavlijesvijeta 😄👍
He looks like a better-looking, tan version of Steve Martin haha
Esteban Martino
George Hamilton 😅
Such a great Hodinkee episode when you don;t see a Rolex
Now that is a collection... I sincerely hope Alfredo wears at least a few of them from time to time +++
Clymer just cannot stop himself from winding other people's watches, quite often rare very delicate pieces. If he tried that with one of my vintage pieces he would have his knuckles rapped.
Whenever I know about this type of collectors I can't stop telling myself "imagine his car!...his house!!"
It is incredible the difference between most of the American “collectors “ that collect watches for the hype! They look what is popular online and they buy it! European collectors on the other hand search a specific watch for its history, for its ingenuity! They have a lot of passion!
Literally look like such an idiot in my pink v-neck sweater I bought after watching this video.....mine is Marino wool vs. Alfredo's cashmere. He probably wouldn't even use my pink rag to dry his car after a wash.
Tom Smith lol crazy
funniest comment i've read in 2018
I'm sure he doesn't dry his cars. Someone else does it. ;)
LMFAO, I was thinking ‘that’s a nice sweater’ this comment made my day
Tom Smith LOL you're a hero!
Time for part 2 ;) This was a great chat with even greater watches
My favourite is the Breguet 'CEV'.
I think that the term is.. De-lischiousz
Man, that's a collection that deserves that name... Congratulations for the collection and for the interview.
Nice trio of ref 570s. John Goldberger also had the stainless one when they talked with him.
Finally a wonderful collection where you don’t see only Nautilus, Daytona or Royal Oak 🥳🥳🥳
Haven't seen the video yet, and already clicked the like button!
This guest exudes 'class' - as does his collection. No baseball cap worn backwards, no tattoos, no slang language, no posturing, no bling, classy dress-sense. Worth emulating. That's how money converts well to private acquisition.
Class is in behaviour and language, not looks or clothing
@@andrewblunts-ringwalks4508 Andrew. Possibly, but those with the former tend to be conservative in their looks and clothing. There may be exceptions, but I can't think of any in the public eye.
Awesome collection. This series is incredible - thank you so much for these interviews. Can't wait to see more.
I just love this show... every time its different! Just watched a whole century of Patek collection and now I can see an awesome collection of Longines, which I really love my selfe
A beautiful and thoughtful collection. This man knows his stuff.
this shows us the importance of being dedicated to your passions, persistent and very rich
That Freccero is really nice....
wonderful taste. the simplicity, elegance, timelessness and craftsmanship. lovely mate.
Beautiful collection and mostly vintage. Interesting he had no Rolex's. The Patek's were a feast for the eyes. Loving the show.
Besides the amazing watch collection, this man is sophisticatedly masculine and intelligent. It is great to see someone take-care of himself and despite his high profile career which has its own stressors. I would like for this gent to be my mentor
Longines.......excellent brand. Trouble free and extremely accurate
The watch Mr Alfredo Paramico dreams about is Patek Philippe stainless steel monopusher doctor’s chronograph with pulsometer dial and sector design, as well as an aged off-white silvered dial. Only two such watches were ever made, both for a South American retailer, with the other currently residing in the Patek Philippe museum in Geneva. It was sold for $4,987,383 (£3,204,633.61), which is a world record for any watch cased in stainless steel.
Dusan Veselka no he dream about a reference 1518 in two tone.arent you watching?the watch he is dreaming about maybe doèst not exist.
Now here is a PROPER watch collector. Pure class!
Rewatching, make EP 2 with paramico 💯💪🏼
Interesting thing about those 570’s... if you look carefully at the the pink gold one, there is no gap between the seconds register and the 5h marker. If you look at the yellow gold one, there is a little gap, and on the steel watch, there is a big gap. The breguet numerals on the steel seem a little smaller. Anyway, very very charming.
It's amazing when you see these grail collections. The watches are in such beautiful condition they look like they could be contemporary. It shows how cyclical style is and how timeless (no pun intended) all the current models are.
NEVER stop making the talking watches series.
This is a masterpiece and a wonderful journey in the shape of a video. Brilliant.
I can't stop looking at this man. This is thrue italian style.
Pride to be italian as Mr Paramico
I love these videos with Benjamin Clymer talking watches with super collectors like Alfredo. I learned a ton from why each piece is so special. I would love to know if these pieces have needed any service or are they completely in original condition.
The good news it that finally the two tone ref 1518 was brought to an auction and it was from 1950. Sold for $1,024,218. The bad news is that Mr. Alfredo was not the buyer.
Wow the 1518 in steel, the most amazing watch I've ever seen
I like these collections by long time collectors more so than the celebrity types who stick to the same ol’ Rolex subs, Ap royal oaks and Patek Nautilus. This guy has some variety and vintage pieces.
One of the best episodes ever.
What an outstanding collection ...
Those Calatravas are absolutely gorgeous
He's so happy about his stuff. Incredibly inspiring.
Over all, the nicest watch collection I have seen.
Talk about rarefied collecting!
What an incredible collection
Great feature, we need more "Talking Watches", weekly if possible.
Great to see Longines watches!
Love this episode. Always liked Steve Martin but now like him even more 😂
Good one...
Finally, an episode without a single poncy rolex!
Damn!! the diversity in his brands... He has a watch from every brand...
If I remember correctly he now runs a Hedge Fund / Investment Fund dedicated to watches. Basically chasing important pieces and then re-sale them for profit.
Best collection on CZcams
Whoa, the dude just picks up the guy's AP and starts winding it. To me a watch is quite personal... kind of like a mobile phone. You can't just pick up someone's and start messing with it!
Great video though. Thank you!
John Smith He for sure asked permission first.
He does this with everyone's watches. I'm sure Ben is clued in enough to know when it's ok or not. Plus the watch was made to be wound.
Prob agreed upon beforehand
this guy oozes class
I've just started collecting watches. These videos are really terrific.Very educational .Very nicely made. A real pleasure to watch!
and now there's evidence that the two tone 1518 exists, Alfredo, go find it! ;)
Nice Collection, love to see Breguet Chronos allong patek, great:)
So some time has passed and it turns out that The rumors were true and Patek did make a two toned 1518 in pink gold for King Michael of Romania.
If anyone is wondering, it seems that the 1518 that King Michael of Romania owned was not 2-tone, but full rose gold. Still probably a super valuable watch.
P. S. I've watched this video probably dozens of times, and I still can't tell what Alfredo is saying about the rarity and condition of the 3 time-only watches 😅
This is up there with Goldberger for the best video in the series. Nicely done.
Wow! Most beautiful collection I've seen!
IWC never fails to deliver - definitely my favourite brand as a new collector... I want that early Portuguese! :P
Thats the most exquisite collection I have ever seen
I think I just became gay for 11 minutes.
Lmao
Yes that vid would be baned in Russia, too gay
Smksg42 Lol! Putin would certainly allow this guy to pour his love all over that bare naked chest of his; which he so much enjoys displaying to the world!
He just seems so perfect in everything... how
ProjectDarkHound Not too perfect: he didn't own a single Invicta (*_*)
God all of these watch videos remind me of the business card scene from American Psycho. Amazing
Goals , motivation to work even harder... what a collection!
Omega is insane, sexy. AP is amazing. Damn this guy has an amazing collection.
What an interview- his ‘special Omega’ is the very first chrono ever produced by Omega. *head falls off* Yes. The very first.
Special Omega indeed.
