- This is The Omega Passion Museum, where 25 years worth of Khun Apichai’s collecting and scholarship is on display. There are Omegas of all kinds, ranging from the brand’s earliest watches to the hottest modern-day Speedmasters.
The museum includes an entire Omega showroom that he bought from an AD when they closed down in the early 2000s that’s been reassembled. All this is inside of a box factory on the outskirts of Bangkok.

This is true watch journalism. How would most people have found this gem without this episode? Just amazing.
It's amazing how passionate he is about the brand. In today's watch world, it's nice to see. No hype just all love.
Too bad you can give this just one like. A killer job from Cole and the Hodinkee! Really enjoyed these.
What a find ! Not only the museum hidden in a factory, but a collector as interesting as his collection. My preferred series at Hodinkee right now.
Love this series. Cole's voice is perfect for storytelling.
Congrats to Cole for shaping what seems to be his dream job.
This is the best part of fridays now 👏🏼
So far this entire series has managed to rekindle my passion for watches in a way I didn't even know I needed! I can't wait to see what you showcase next and where your journey takes you.
Just sent this video to my girlfriend to show her what our future home office will look like. Love all the memorabilia. NEW YORK CITY NEXT 😁
you guys are setting the bar high for other channels. Excellent job Cole and good you are interviewing real collectors outside North America and Europe. I never seen any level of Omega dedication similar to what this gentleman has. Nothing even comes close
This is now the best segment on Hodinkee. Absolutely amazing. Cole Pennington is the best.
Wonder if he’s sleeping outside is local Swatch shop tonight?
his museum probably is one of the selected stores for the release xD
Thank you again for showcasing 2 of my favourite things in the world - Thailand and Watches. This was really an enjoyable video to watch! Well done.
This series is one of the best things to come from Hodinkee in my opinion. Big shout out to Cole for a splendid job on this series!
I almost ugly cried looking at this gentleman’s passion.
Incredible series. Thank you for the effort of putting this together, Cole and Hodinkee!
Hello, Cole. How are you doing? Thank you for this wonderful clip. Always welcome you to come back and visit my museum again
Thanks Cole and Hodinkee for making this happen. Great to see watch content that has nothing to do with hype, the latest releases, flexing and paid promotions. It’s so much harder to produce creative content on this kind of level than the aforementioned subjects. Take a bow, everyone!
Another great episode and story. Thanks!
With an office like that, who wouldn't love going to and staying at work everyday? Amazing collection is an understatement. This is like (nearly) Omega's historic catalog in the flesh.. er, metal. Perfect timing with the new collab release to get hyped (as if it needed any help getting it already) and get an entry level taste of the Speedy.
This is a true enthusiast! Unlike the new flex culture nowadays where hyped prices come 1st before the merits of the watches themselves.
So refreshing!
Best episode yet! Thanks for sharing this and huge props to Cole and Hodinkee for this series!
What a fantastic series! Can’t wait to see the next location along the journey!! Thanks so much for sharing
Thank you Cole, your team and of course all the three collectors for this series and all the insights!
I‘m very excited what is next, so good to see some coverage about the more niche side of watch collection and how it's done in other parts of the world than the US or Europe!
Another fantastic episode, Cole and team!! Keep 'em coming!
Please keep doing this amazing series Cole. Great show
My favourite Ep. so far. This gentleman’s passion for Omega and his collection are simply amazing. Thanks for sharing.
Have to say this might be some of the best watch journalism I’ve ever seen, amazing series Cole!
Loved learning about a country I didn’t know much about have so much passion for watches!
Keep it up guys!
Really loved this series so far! Can't wait to see what's next
This is amazing. Thanks Hodinkee. Great work, Cole!
I love this. Looking forward to the next season!
Fantastic videos and interviews. Appreciate your passion of the hobby and ability to story-tell and share with us!
Coolest series Hodinkee has made in a while, like Talking Watches early days. Just when I thought I was out they pull me back in :)
What a fantastic series! Can't wait for more!
loving this series!
That Thailand dynamic is so cool!
This is a great video about a guy who loves watches and is passionate about collecting.
We didn´t expect less from Hodinkee, absolutely wild!
Perfect host, perfect subjects. Thanks for bringing fun and personality (and also a notable lack of pretense) back into this hobby that we all share here. Bravo!
You do a great job here - Love this series. Thank you.
amazing format
this is amazing. Thanks for this excellent work.
Awesome series. Thank you Cole!
This series is so darn good. Cool people, interesting places, amazing watches. Just keep ‘em coming.
Great interview. You show great respect for your hosts. This collection is insane. I always thought I didn't like enamel artistic dials, but these vintage ones with just the right amount of patina are a true revelation!
Great video series. Bravo & Keep em coming!
This series is amazing. Looking forward to more episodes.
Its a good day when an episode for Watches in the Wild is released!
Thank you Cole and team!
Hodinkee, this is the content we love. Cole absolutely crushed it.
Amazing. Thanks for showing us this, Cole and Khun Apichai.
Great! Thx for doing this!
Cole, thanks for bringing another great episode.
Thank you so much for this series 🙏🏼 such an amazing place I hope to visit
One of the best series to come out of Hodinkee.
Wow thats a great collection and great video. Love this series.
Great series so far! More please!
Omg this is good journalism. The content is superb.. We need more of this. 🔥
Great video! I wouldn’t be surprised to see it one day on Netflix
Great episode! The collection is absolutely incredible.
This series is so good! 😃
What an amazing series!!!
This series is great. I wanted to swear its so great.
Great series. Thank you
“Take it easy, life is short”. Great advice that we would all do better to remember regularly. Thanks for another great episode.
Awesome! Great series.
Amazing content. Please give us more and more of this, HODINKEE 😄
Well done on this series
Perfect timing for the moonswatch
great job Cole and team!!
These were so great. I hope there are more in the future
Amazing collection and even more from a private collector! An enjoyable episode
Thanks for sharing this expirience!
Very cool series!!
What a great episode!
Really love this show and so far both episodes have been amazing. I really wish you would have asked him if he wears all the watches or some of them are museum pieces only. I think we need to see a show about collectors who wear their watches and those who just keep them as display or safe queens. Owning 50 watches myself, it is a first-world dilemma many of us watch collectors have and would really love to hear some strategies or thoughts on how to rotate or just appreciate them in a different way.
Agreed.
He does. He takes out a week's selection at a time. Seven or so watches and wears them for the week, then chooses the next seven.
@@cpennington1023 Cool. Thanks!
Such a fantastic series. 👍🏻
Love the series!
Wonderful, even for those of us who are not omega collectors.❤
This was the best interview ever done!
Beautiful content 💙
Hands down, Best series on watches!
Another great video! You know this man it going to get his hands on the 11 moonswatch watches. Keep up the great work Cole 👏
awesome series, keep it up! :)
Best series ever
pls continue ! i love this video !
Another great video
Beautifully done
Can’t wait for another episode!
👏👏👏 Fantastic series.
WoW, this is so nice! I'm starting my one brand collection too - Tudor, I have 7 and still can't stop!
This is great. This is what watch collecting is about - the history, passion, and, of course, great watches. With all the ridiculous "drama" in the watch world these days with skyrocketing prices, shady grey markets, watch thefts, marketing hoaxes, and vapid youtubers, this brings me back to what it's all about.
Just subbed to your channel, I really like this series and I hope you do more episodes around the globe.
Awesome series all about passion.
thanks hodinkee this was awesome and cole is my favourite staffer, he is the bond of the dink lol.
Amazing!
Incredible. Thank you -
Sabai Sabai Cole ♥️, great episode !! Fan from 🇹🇭
Huge Omega fan and am fortunate enough to to own several pieces amount other brands. Thank You for this video and being able to see some pieces I’ve never seen before. Very informative 👍
These episodes are not only about watches. They are also about history. Congratulations for the amazing content!
Best series
Keep the stories coming, Cole.
