Big shoutout to ‪@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR‬, ‪@IñigoSalaverria‬, ‪@TheDubaiExpat‬ , ‪@PeterKotsa‬, ‪@Monochrome-watches‬, ‪@KristianHaagen‬  and all the rest I met at the launch of Hanharts new watch (pictured, plus a view on their classic movement from the original 417es. )

Viewers - I'll have a video up in a few days talking about Hanhart & The real Steve Mcqueen watch.

Hi all,

I hit 200.000 subscribers thanks to all of you and your amazing support. As per tradition, that means it's Q&A time - Post your questions here and I'll start putting together a Q&A.

All the Best and thank you again

Mike

Hi guys,

I did a podcast together with the guys over at Time 2 Calibrate. Check out our chat here:

(and then come back here and tell me what you think) 


All the best 
Mike

Time for a Q&A everybody. 150.000 subscribers. You know the drill. Questions go here.

Cheers

Time for a Q&A everybody. It's been 4 months and I've flown past the 100.000 subscribers. You know the drill. Questions go here.

Cheers

Here I am at Watches & Wonders 2025. I thought I'd upload something I found absolutely fascinating.

I just passed by the Studio Underdog showcase to have a chat with the people of there (silly comments, I'm expecting you). 

What you're seeing is a picture of ONE Original Underdog watch. And.

A San Martin copy (with a dive bezel - top mid). 
A Proxima copy. 
A Hideous monstrosity of a watch with eastern arabic numerals and a tachymeter scale copy (of the pink lemonade) 
Several other copies/homages of Underdog watches. 

Some were downright awful. 

Some were on the surface well put together (albeit with quartz movements and other shortcuts) but most of all. 

None were original. 

This will be an upcoming video.

I have so many thoughts. Interested to hear yours.

100.000 subscribers!

Wow. Have to admit that I'm just a little bit proud. I don't know what I ever expected when I started this channel. It was just a thing I did for fun and didn't ever really have a plan.

It turns out that a lot of people out there enjoy listening to me overthink things and babble on despite me being just another nerd and not an expert in any way. 

Thanks so much to all of you. It's hugely appreciated. To this day I read all comments. I love that you support me and give me praise. I also really appreciate when you call me out in those instances where I, as a non-expert, get something wrong, have a weird take or just come across a little to forceful. Your support and interaction makes my videos better as they force me to do better for you guys.

Where to from here? No clue. This is still very much a hobby and not a full time job. I suspect it will continue to stay that way. I like the independence it allows for.

Now. I'll let you in on a little secret. Back when I started this channel I actually had an idea of having two channels. One about my watch hobby and one a little more about what I do for work. I actually launched both but I quickly tabled the second channel simply because scripting, filming and editing were new to me and took WAY too much time to manage for two channels. 

But you know what? The second channel is up now. I have no expectation that you should subscribe to it. It's about  completely different things, but I'm letting you know it's out there.

So. Shameless plug
The channel is Work. Unusual: https://www.youtube.com/@work.unusual

The first video is about "what consultants actually do." https://youtu.be/fGyVZ8iJoFw?si=P3GHr...


In two weeks a video will be up about "Why it's so hard to get a salary increase in corporate"

And two weeks after that "What's it like working for people like Elon Musk"

Check it out or don't. It's entirely up to you.

Most importantly. Stick around here and I'll do my very best to keep making watch videos that are worth your time.

All the best

Mike

It's almost 2025, so why not have a Q&A. You know the drill. Shoot me some questions and I will do my best to give my perspective. The video will be up first thing in the new year.

Cheers

We're almost through the year and I want to know. What do you think were the best and worst watch releases of 2024?

Let me know what were your top 5 best and top 5 worst releases of 2024.

ALMOST 50.000 Subs. Hopefully I'm not jinxing it, but as per tradition a milestone = a Q&A. So submit your questions here and I'll get right down to putting together the Q&A.

Thanks for all the Support

Mike 😀
