In the Hodinkee interview today FHB credited the cross over with pop culture as growing the brand with youth. Very interesting to hear how they increased sales in the US with this strategy. It is a fine edge to walk I suppose.
RM, maybe. If you think AP is headed in that direction, you have no idea what youre talking about. AP has history, quality, and a VERY, VERY strongcustomer base
Both RM and AP are stellar companies making high art. These companies are run by amazing people who know exactly what they are doing. No credibility in your comment.
I don’t always agree with Eric but this episode is spot on! 🎉AP is heading down the Hublot route and PP is doing the Frank Muller? RM hype is now gone.
Thx for the drop and Happy Holidays. I think you nailed it. I’d add the ‘sporty’ Calatrava - sure PP needs something to attract the younger crowd - but that design is underwhelming (being nice - lame) and at $39k a joke. I’m buying a used Daytona and Batman for that $$$
AP Royal Oak Offshore ,End of days, , limited to 500 pieces, was a nice one too....and the full ceramic black 42, because black is my happy colour! Merry christmas
That Puzzle 🧩 Rolex Looks Like Collaboration With Swatch ! , Tho I Seriously Predict That Watch Is A Highly Destined Collectible. And I Agree That Richard Mill Really Looks Like A "Nightmare" , I Say An Ugly Butchard Nightmare. 😸😸😸
Wait wait wait, I love your channel but what is this? Only Rlx, AP, rm and patek stood out this year? I understand blue chip investing but to collectors there is so much more and beter (less flex) in the watch world??
1st of all, don't hate on the watches as chokers. The rainbow watches teach us we can identify a watch as a choker or a hippopotamus, whatever makes us happy, or gives us attention (is it the same?). 2nd, I couldn't agree more on the AP collabs. 3rd, Phillip Sterns face is at least important to the watch industry, unlike Spiderman and Travis Scott's death cult moon phase. But, it shouldn't either be on the dial.
YM titanium is genius. Makes sense to have a lightweight sailing watch for the actions a sailor does on deck. AP... *smh* spiderman wtf? Joke of a watch making a joke of the brand.
Eric, I get that the core of your business is based on brands that sell, but I don't understand the appeal with Rolex, AP, and especially RM. To me they are extremely boring and their designs are the same BS. I would never own a Rolex, AP or definitely a RM. Why don't you feature brands that are truly unique with solid designs and history?
Watch Eric ONLY focuses on super premium watch brands where he can maximize margins on large purchases. He is not into horology but into maximizing profitability on a sale. Eric just unsubscribed and good luck. There are many watch geeks who review the pantheon of the watch industry not 4 super expensive brands.
AP and Richard Mille are headed towards being Hublot w/ all the special edition nonsense

just watched that as well, interesting to hear their side of the story, changes my mind a little on their recent collaborations@@lh9062

100
We are going to look back in 10 years and consider Richard Mille like Frank Muller it was a trend that didnt last
💯 RM didn’t even show up at Dubai Watch Week - like he’s already semi/retired and just mailing it in. Sad - because he had a string of huge hits.
Duuuuuude vacheron came out with all kinds of amazing releases
Indeed they did.
I dont want some crusty old man stern on my watch everytime I look down at my watch what a stupid Ego move

Good call!
spider ap 🤮
The new W/G Oysterflex Daytona 'Bright Black' dial - A daily 'Le Mans' we can almost buy! What an amazingly cool watch.
I would also have put the Code 11:59 Starwheel. I love that watch.
Cannot fault your picks on both lists really. 😊
Glad you enjoyed!
AP Royal Oak Offshore ,End of days, , limited to 500 pieces, was a nice one too....and the full ceramic black 42, because black is my happy colour! Merry christmas
Another hit, we just have the exact same taste, being following you since jurassic, you´re the best!
Those coloured ceramics straight from saved by the bell!
AP saying, we're about to be hublot. Is nuts! Lol
Love it. Something different finally.
Hey Eric absolutely right on emoji day date , i can go with the dial which is like puzzle but no way i can digest that love peace emojis in it
I miss the Reverso Tribute Chronographe in this list.
Man, i love your channel and your endless knowledge of the watch market! I appreciate you as a newbie in the game!
this was super entertaining to! You are definitely correct about which watches are dope or not.
Hype Man for Hype watches- but someone's got to do it so it might as well be a Miami dude wearing sunglasses indoors. All love.
Nailed it with the last one, this is actually hilarious.
Spot on, Eric! 👍🏼👌🏼

Buen video. Pienso lo mismo Eric Saludos de Mexico
5316 speaks to me the most but the 11.59 is also beautiful
Yo Watch Eric 🔥
The dislikes, had me laughing out loud. So true.
AP is like, “what’s with this WE”?
Appalling year. Your favs are just as unappealing as your hates
lolol
You missed the PP 5712R
Do people still wear Piaget, Chopard or Franck Muller anymore?
I’m not a fan of Travis Scott but I feel the AP matches his style perfectly
at this rate we'll have AP x Caitlyn Jenner watch soon.
Wait wait wait, I love your channel but what is this? Only Rlx, AP, rm and patek stood out this year? I understand blue chip investing but to collectors there is so much more and beter (less flex) in the watch world??
I agree. BUT c’mon, you know my channel is about these brands lol
Why zero love for Vacheron?!
I’ve heard that the puzzle Rolex was made for autism awareness. If so I think that’s great. Personally I think it’s ugly but it’s for a great cause.
IWC's lumpy, late and expensive integrated bandwagon Ingenier😮

The 5260 is so beautiful to my eyes. I think the design would befit a lady's watch, though. And the price ...
That puzzle rolex could be for autism. Idk though.
I dunno, If a Chronograph isn't able to show me any numbers, well that's beyond stupid. If you like it, good for you.
YM titanium is genius. Makes sense to have a lightweight sailing watch for the actions a sailor does on deck.
AP... *smh* spiderman wtf? Joke of a watch making a joke of the brand.
very good.. umm.. I find myself agreeing.
Rolex Day date with puzzles is for autism awareness no?
Second.
first

SuBscribe!! NOT SuScribe!!!
Face on a dial is a joke. Who wants to watch old mans face all day.
