parents didn't have a lot of money, gets gifted a tag heuer on his 12th birthday
Yeah and his Uncle was David Z… but he just happened to leave that out… Guy tries to make it seem like he made it from nothing. He had a network from birth lol
The one thing I hate about.. people is the dishonesty that comes with these their stories .. just because you have an opportunity or access to opportunities doesn’t mean you didn’t work hard.. it just annoys my soul..
Classic Jew....
The whole thing is fake.
@@GlassPiffJar such a slimy dude. All those stories were fake.
hahaha turns out to be another advertisement after the announcement of kith heuer collab😅
Yup that was a nice ad for the new Kith-TAG collab, it almost looked like it wasn't... almost
so this was just a commercial then...
So with todays Tag press release we see this vid was all just another Hodinked advert
“Advertorial”
Disgraceful advertising... what has this thing become.... shame
"What do you mean a collection like this?" Ronnie had to show him he's still from Queens. Great video :)
😂 he almost had to check Ben right there
Ben meant no ill intent by saying this. Ronnie is just insecure.
😂 - the interviewer was sweating 😅- Ronnie is a Boss
@@Os_-tw4ot hahahahaha so true. You could see Ben thinking Oh damn how do I get out of this one!
timestamp?
I watched this last week and thought what a great interview. Little did I know this was just a stupid ADVERTISEMENT for the Tag watches. You used to be better than this and more authentic.
It's business man, one day you'll understand
@user-hx8ge2sh3d their ship is sinking and they know it. That's why Jack Forster and others left. But thanks for your condecending comment.
@@user-hx8ge2sh3doh wow you so intelligent
Loooool 2024 and you don’t know how business and promotion works oh wow
@AshBashSneakers oh I do but I guess you don't know authenticity. Hodinkee was a place for real watch collectors not people like you and this cheap subliminal advertisement. But the fact that they have resorted to this and that many significant staff leaving just goes to show the health of this business. Just stay in your lane when you can't see the obvious.
The real question is did LVMH pay for this talking watches or did you do it for free since they are part owner?
so sick, this has gotta be one of the coolest episodes of all time much respect to ronnie and his story
As a Vitality member and long time reader of Hodinkee, this video made me very happy.
Vitality bros 🤝
I can't tell you how long I've waited for this, Ronnie has always kept some serious quality watches on his wrist, for years. So much so that its ads to his lore and his specific sensibilities of quality, simply can not be denied. It's taken him entirely too long to sit down to talk about these sensibilities with regard watches. I'm glad we're here now.
Same!! Been waiting for this for a while
Doing flips on it
@@Stankonia1996 you seem to like mine's though
This isn’t an ad at all 😶🌫️
that’s an incredible episode. hodinkee, this is what makes you awesome.
Basic channel for basic ppl.
This was fantastic. Slowly seeing a return to form for talking watches and it’s awesome.
Great collection. Love this guy and his story.
This is a great collector focused video and I appreciate the way he collects.
Love seeing the thought behind the collection... collecting in sets, and his particularity for integrated straps/bracelets.
Amazing episode !! Great job Ben, love it
Wow. Unreal ep. Love Ronnie. I love how he a true collector (needs everything in every color) and also has been into watches before they were hype.
Excellent episode, great collector, collection, interview, and production.
This is what you do best Ben. More of this. Keep up the great work
Great episode! Thanks!
This was fantastic. Nothing but love for both brands!
Whenever it’s talking watches of someone if heard of it’s always a win. Thanks Ronnie for showing us your collection
Great conversation !
I gotta say this interview is one of my favorites. What a great collection
Loving the old Tags! Hah. Awesome collection
This was excellent.. I love his sneaker collabs and clothing.. didn’t know he was SUCH a big watch guy.
Amazing video, inspiring story by Ronnie, and incredible watches. Great to know that he waits for watches like the rest of us - but he can get the AP CEO on the phone😂😂
I would hate to be APs CEO and have all these rich people call me to get some stuff faster than the other.
A genuine watch collector with excellent taste - in the John Mayer style …….
Brilliant
Great episode. I like the way he collects.
Excellent episode, man is a cool customer with a great collection!
Brilliant stuff. I feel exactly the same about the straps and cases.
Same here
You know when Ben is interviewing on Talking Watches it’s going to be a big one
Or they had to fire all the folks who used to do them
Amazing Collection!! Was there for the Travis story too, it was a wild night ✨😂. Great video Ben
The Vacheron story is so fucking cool.
Love it
Ben dodged that Vacheron question like it was the Matrix!
Great vid hodinkee more of this
This is Hodinkee as we know it and love it 🙏🏼
I love when talking watches intersects with founder talk 🔥
21:21 the most intense and confrontational moment in the history of Talking Watches. Ben Clymer is saying VC is of the old money aura, which ain’t you Ronnie! 😂 Btw: Ronnie is an awesome and accomplished person; my hats off to him.
I enjoyed that moment 😅some healthy honest awkwardness
Ben didn’t flinch. Good stuff
Ronnie calling the dial a face too lol Ronnies the man!
Ronnie is about Kendall Roy's age and he wears a hat like our number one boy. Plus he is also New York royalty. Of course he is Vacheronista.
@@nuno.maia.p6493lol I love this comparison. They even look somewhat similar, come to think of it.
My favorite TW so far. KITH X Hodinkee X UNIMATIC. Make it happen!
Great stuff!
Loved this episode, great guy and amazing collection!!
What a treat ! A lazy Tag Heuer from the 80s is back… 😂
I don't understand fashion. Dude's wearing sunglasses and a Patagonia rain jacket...indoors. haha
Pretty sure he's comfortable.
@@JakeGittes84 no doubt. I live in NY and wear rain jackets often. But I would never wear one indoors b/c I couldn't get away w/ it. Ppl don't even question when someone like him does strange things clothing-wise.
@@JakeGittes84or uncomfortable, in a psychological sense.
Spot on 😂😂😂
He brought some real heat.
I’ve been saying the same thing about only being interested in watches with integrated bracelets/straps!!
The funny thing about the 222 is that there is one sold for 10k less than the MSRP at my local dealer, GBT in Nyon Switzerland. Its not holding the price.
And doesn't make it any less, incredible watch
Love the VCs and the Aquanauts...
Great “old school”, by that I mean with Ben, episode!
Cool through and through.
This video was the most enjoyable yet - well done! And wow, what a collection ...
Nice! Mike Tyson said Kith was his favorite band
Man has taste! 👏
Good episode guys 🐉
Ben is unlocking his inner Dandy.
White skinny jeans and a bright patterned ascot. Might be fine in the middle of summer on the coast but not in the city lol
@@michaelh8854 He looks ridiculous.
@@christianellopmyes
salute your productivity Hodinkee
Cool episode. I’m a bit surprised at the build quality of that Vacheron.
Awesome video! Please tell me there is a KITH/Hodinkee Collab coming soon ❤
I wonder if he will buy the new Vacheron with the green dial? It’s stunning. I also didn’t know Vacheron is for senior citizens? LOL
That Vacheron Royal is unbelievable. I’ve never seen that before.
That's a precious scarf Ben.
Love it when two people I follow meet!
just another advert now. i want to say i expected more but meh.
David Z is Ronnie Fieg’s dad, seems like he left out some important details.
Uncle. But yes, I agree a crucial detail lol
LOL. Thanks for pointing that out. Props to his success, but that information was definitely omitted on purpose
Also that he is an Israeli ...
@@HEATSEEKER00 dude what’s with the antisemitism on every reply you have 🤣
@@daniellogansa8101 noticing things is not anti semitism …
Great watch
Hodinkee and Kith are both hilarious jokes of companies
Cool Dude 🤙
When it comes to products, there are some exceptional ones that change the experience forever, whatever the path of life, furniture, car, pillow, shoes etc. Back in 2016 I bought asics gel v. Since then, I've owned maybe 8 of them. People keep asking, why do I wear the same runners and my answer is genuine, they're the most comfortable I've ever wore so why to change? As my search for these continued, I came across expensive ones with THIS MANS name attached and I wondered who is he. Thanks hodinkee- now, not only i know who he is, I also share he's passion for product, fine product
El verdadero valor de algo está en el gran recuerdo de una época nostálgica creo que el mejor de todos el F1 qué bonito recuerdo para usted
Ben must have been smitten when Ronnie said his dream car is the M1 (Ben has one in a gorgeous dark blue).
Ronnie is the goat. Can’t wait to watch!
Instant classic
My first time seeing Ronnie. Going to get into more of his ventures. Seems like a really cool guy
One of the best Hodinkee Videos for me!! Thank you!
Really rooting for Hodinkee to pull through the rough patch they got themselves in with the whole Crown & Caliber thing & growing too much too fast. LOVED Hodinkee when it was a skeleton crew 6 years ago. Hopefully Ben can right the ship. I’m even letting the ads play all the way through so YT has to pay up more 😂
He’s planning for rain.
Good episode.
I’m with him on the point about integrated straps/bracelets. I think Rolex integrates their bracelets very nicely, good example is the jubilee end links.
So dope. Love it!
This was great
Same as my first watch tag F1
Still has on the ascot that he was wearing while applying lacquer finish to his burl-walnut trim on his Boston Whaler.
More style trendsetters please! Like Teddy Santis from ALD, Pharrell who now works w/ LV, Brendon from Noah. So many options big and small
tag heur F1 reminds me so much of the current moonswatches!
21:20 was making sure he wasn't calling him a hypebeast hahah
Hodinkee should do a Ben's collection video
I was sort of not rich growing up, but was gifted a watch that 99.9999% of kids would never get. Then I worked and things really went well for me. I made promotions, made more money, got into business,. Voila, I obtained Rolexes, Patek's, and then AP's and VC's within 10 years. I celebrated every success with first great watch buys in NY, then Paris, London, Boise, and Katmandu. It was amazing! But I keep to my roots and traditions by collecting $50 sneakers along with my 150K watches. My friends tell me I'm an inspiring person. Why this emptiness?
Congratulations on your success brother 🙏
stop the cap mosher
His reaction on "collections like this" 🤣
The guy knows deep down his collection is like his own brand
Class content! Such a cool collection!
What sunglasses is Ronnie wearing ?
Just a thought….i would pair the gold AP double balance with a brillrot e30/// with a tan interior on a Sunday drive
Great episode. Wonder why he was wearing a loud rustling rain jacket indoors.
Wow. 42 and here I am at 38 dwindling my thumbs
Crazy watches.
Good guest.
Is this the kick off 😂 True Geordie needs to have words. I do love the video tho 🙌🏽
Double ad 1 min into the video 🙄 cmon man what are we doing?! Great episode.
What are those sunglasses?
Never heard of this guy but he seems to be doing ok !!! 😂
