Oh by the way: I often tune into Mayer’s IGTV show, Current Mood, and chronicle the watch he’s wearing. And when we’re talking million-dollar timepieces, what’s a few hundred thousand between friends? I will be conservative in estimating a price range for the watch, but will default to assuming that John owns some superb examples that fall at the high end of the identified price range. Additionally, they’re likely more valuable just because they were owned by John Mayer. Note at the outset that many of John’s pieces are close to one-of-a-kind, and thus hard to value. Let’s try to estimate the current value of th watches he shows during Talking Watches 2 and see how much Mayer collection is worth.
In other words, he’s bought and held on to many of these pieces for years and seen their values rise, sometimes significantly. Mayer mentions at the beginning of Talking Watches 2 that if he tried to purchase all of these watches today it’d be “prohibitively expensive”. His Rolex Daytona collection is likely second to none, and the other vintage and concept pieces he shows off tell the tale of a man deep into it in every way. Sure, he discussed the IWC Big Pilot once in between, but that just wasn’t quite the same.įor this second Talking Watches, Mayer brought out some heavy hitters.
They finally released a follow up, Talking Watches 2 with John Mayer, and it’s just as good. Its first Talking Watches featuring John Mayer, from 2013, has probably gotten more people into watches than any other piece of content on the internet. Say what you want, but sometimes Hodinkee just gets it right.
