I have to say that having just found your channel, I need you to generate a huge amount of extra content immediately please. Intelligent, engaging, informative and, arguably most importantly, entertaining, your insight and knowledge in what you talk about is very welcome indeed. Keep ‘em coming and we shall definitely keep watching.
Justin, this is my favourite chat from you to date! Great passion, story and knowledge, these 4 watches have helped broaden my 2023 aspirations. I’ve been a Tadao Ando fan since young, and was blessed to meet Ando in his Church of Light, So a culmination of my fav Architect, Octo Finissmo and in Titanium is mind-blowing. Continue these addition updates please.
Daniel!! Incredibly kind Sir! Geneva Watch Days itself didn’t have anything that caught my eye aside from maybe the reduced case Debethune PPC and MB&F …the blue ceramic AP stole the show for sure - proper F U money. The reduced size Pelagos was 🔥…what caught your eye?
Looking at the huge amount of books on your shelves I would love a video on which books you think people should grab if they want to learn more about a brand or maybe just a rundown on the books you have and which you are most happy with.
You’ve saved the heavy hitters for this one! Great three-piece Blümlein combo-and a very special plus one indeed! I can’t wait for further installments!!! 👏🏽
Just discovered your channel and excited to see where it goes. Love the style of the video’s and the two watch collection series. Really great content 👏🙏🥃
I appreciate you giving credit to Mr Günter Blümlein. A true legend in the industry. We're in the hoppy because of our love of watches. But watches exist only because of people who created them and people who needed and or just wanted to wear them. In a sense, a story of a watch is inseparable from that of a person. And that is what gives it sentimental value.
Ahhh mate! That’s a blast from the past. You know what, that was the Grand. Only very subtly larger, but noticeable. To me, the 38.5 is absolute perfection. “The” modern day classic. I also notice the platinum has now been removed from the Lange website. Anyway! Huge thanks for the kind support 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Hey Wisam! Thanks for the kind words. It’s a Laurent Ferrier for me ..the blue origin. I will certainly share that when it’s in. I can’t comment on Armin S as I’ve not handle any - but always loved LW. Great people, cracking case designs and lots of fun! Keep me posted 👊🏼👊🏼
Beautiful eclectic collection that surpasses most everything on CZcams. Another two watch pick from my collection would be the Rolex 1680 Red Sub and the Patek 5227J but your Vacheron 1921 would easily replace the Patek . I really learn a lot from your videos!
So much potential to this channel Justin, i really enjoyed this post and you have great presence on camera, keep doing what you’re doing, the subscribers will arrive in due course! Goodluck!
I like the storytelling. Collecting is an ongoing journey. The story goes back to the past, through the present and into the future. You mentioned your granddad's Constellation which started it all in the 1st part. Then you showed the present collection. So for me, it'd be interesting to have a glimpse into the future of your collection. But feel free to go back and tell an interesting story of any of the pieces, even if they're gone.
Couldn’t agree more Petro! All about the memories and connecting stories. I’m not sure what the future holds, but for sure it will be led by the heart! 👊🏼
I've been watching you (by far...) for some time now, loved the first part of the "collection", can admit the same for the 2nd one, but ffs (for fun sake!) just tell me who is "praying" behind that camera/tripod, i'm dieing to hear his prayer.... or a part at least! Just kidding. Great watches, great straps (oh yes!), full soul narrative. Kudos, be well, enjoy whatever you love mate.
Love the theme and the unexpected Finissimo twist. I own the Skeleton Black ceramic and have also tried other finissimos. Maybe you can do a model comparison ? Eduard Meylan said once in an interview, there are too many. I say rightfully so. Imho they are all so different just because of the Material mix. How did they manage to keep the same dimension with Gold, Ti, Steel and ceramic and carbon….
[2nd comment] Just because you have "feel"/"eye" others don't, plus you seem to know were to find them, weird, unique designed pieces, such as the Louis Vuitton you showed a couple of months ago, is the route for what to come next. In my opinion at least... Thanks once more, keep up the great work, cheers. Forgot to tell you how marvelous your "BulgAndo" is! Clasp not though...😏 PS Your "empty" space doesn't help with the sound at all. Fear not the mic too. PS2 Don't have to say "opinions are like a$$holes, every one has one", do I?😜Excuse my sense of humor, won't change in my 50's, some Aussie friends call me a "larrikin" for a reason i guess...!
@justin, fantastic video. As you were asking Edouard Meylan about the source of inspiration, you shall find your answer here: czcams.com/video/ayCL4wrfoI0/video.html. Keep up the good work.

Agreed 100%.
@Justin: Pls keep up the fantastic work; the watch enthusiasts and the watch world in general needs you & ppl like you.

You’re a man who has impeccable taste. I would like you’re opinions on Geneva watch days releases and just general watch news.

Thanks Yates! Yup - for sure! It’s become somewhat of an obsession.
The octo finisimo in a smaller size would be so so so good. It looks amazing already, but it looks huge on even the biggest wrists.
You’ve saved the heavy hitters for this one! Great three-piece Blümlein combo-and a very special plus one indeed! I can’t wait for further installments!!! 👏🏽
🤣🤣✌🏽
First thing I thought when I saw the bracelet too. Looks like the streamlined (or vice versa)
Incredible, The 3705 and the Lange 1 are a genuine grail 2 watch collection.
Thanks Marcus. After many, many years of deliberation - I think you’re right.
Never seen this channel before. Wishing you lots of success!
Just discovered your channel and excited to see where it goes. Love the style of the video’s and the two watch collection series. Really great content 👏🙏🥃
Some JLC would be nice.
Class work, surely best in the business
Love your videos and enthusiasm. All of your content is top notch and I can`t wait for the next one.

Great content! Love the collection too. Could happily watch multiple videos a week.
A deep dive into the octo in your style
First saw your Lange 1 when you featured it on Hodinkee... I never get bored seeing that watch.

The Steve Backshaw of watches.
Wow. Wonderful timepieces. Beautiful collection. I’m envious. Next? I’m curious about Armin Strom and Linde Werdelin.

I dig this one
Excellent collection. My favourite of the bunch has to be the IWC.
Thanks Josh! Which IWC?? :)
@@justin_hast Sorry! The ceramic chronograph.
Production estimates of the 3705 ranges between 900 and 1,200.
My 2 watch is a tutor Pelagos LHD and a Bvlgari octo roma with the blue dial

Great video as always, keep it up!
👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼
Another great episode
Canaletto!
🙏🏽
Another amazing video, loved hearing you on witchfinder but the audio is not the best. Have you considered in investing in more audio equipment?
Agreed! Looking to upgrade asap! ✌🏽
Justin, lovely watches but it would be interesting to have more detail on the movements
Another great video brother 👏
👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼
Hi Justin, what's the strap brand for your Lange? It has a nice color and is very well made.
Thanks to Watchfinders, I'm now hooked on your channel.
Thanks Vernon! Appreciate it! More to come soon! 👊🏼👊🏼
Great video. I’d love to see how it came about that IWC came about to use JLC calibers. Was it through Günther Blümlein and his connection to JLC?
Love the watch collection! Where did your straps come from.
Hey Ron! All from Molquin! Thanks for the comment 👊🏼
love it mate
Will there be a part 3? Well done!
So did you sell your "sketch" edition of the Octo and get this Tadao??? Grail Octo right here, man!!!
I can't see the bed in the reflection of the lamp.
🤣

Just because you have "feel"/"eye" others don't, plus you seem to know were to find them, weird, unique designed pieces, such as the Louis Vuitton you showed a couple of months ago, is the route for what to come next. In my opinion at least...

Your collection?!!
@@russellseah2347 🤣🤣🤣 very kind mate! Yeah - the Tadao is entirely unlinked - just a new pick up. 👊🏼
The Octo Finissimo is so underrated in my personal opinion in comparison to all the hype out there for the same few models and brands.
@@russellseah2347 couldn’t agree more
Still live with your parents?
Unfortunately not mate 🤣 - was chucked out many years ago 👊🏼
Hideous collection
Thank you 🙏🏽
don’t listen to them, 99.9% thinks its amazing!
@@victorting7280 If he doesn't want input don't put on CZcams lol
@@victorting7280 ✌🏽
@@eagles4757 absolutely right. Always open to feedback. Appreciate it 👊🏼
The iwc chrono is stunning, after 20 years of buying watches I've settled with iwc.
