  • Matt Jacobson is the type of guy who doesn't need to live in Silicon Valley with the rest of his world - he is the head of Market Development for Facebook - or in Beverly Hills with the other men of means; he'd prefer to live in a Ray Kappe-designed home on the water in Manhattan Beach - the type of home you might, and actually did, see in Dwell Magazine. To put it simply, Matt Jacobson's life isn't about excess - it's an expertly calculated equation that suits him and him alone just perfectly. His watch collection follows suit. This is Talking Watches with Matt Jacobson. For more, go to www.hodinkee.co...

    This is in my opinion, the best Talking Watches guest ever. He's a collector who doesn't have to have everything but the ones that truly make him happy and serve a purpose.

    What a thoughtful and tasteful collector! He could own anything, his level of restraint to keep just the very best is considerable.

      Couldn't agree more! Seems like a very down-to-earth, real sort of guy. I have to say, though, being that the water is such an important part of his life, I was surprised the word "Panerai" never came up in his chat :-)

    i love how simple his collection is and i also agreed with him when he said that he doesn't need to own a whole punch of watches which is right because i often see a lot of watch collectors that own over 100+ watches which is insane. great video

    One note on pronunciation cuz it bugs me.
    paddock =
    noun
    A small field or enclosure where horses are kept or exercised.
    Patek =
    The first name of the watch brand Patek Philippe SA, named in part after Antoni Norbert Patek (French: Antoine Norbert de Patek; 14 June 1812 - 1 March 1877) who was a Polish pioneer in watchmaking and a creator of the Patek Philippe & Co., one of the most famous Swiss watchmaker companies.
