This is a recap of the video "Talking Watches" featuring no other than Joe Bues from Hodinkee. In this episode, he talks with NASCAR racing driver Mario Andretti at his home in Pennsylvania. Andretti, a long-time watch collector, shares his passion for timepieces. Given the heavy sponsorship in motorsport, he likely received many watches for free during his racing career.
Watch collectors come from various backgrounds, including tennis players, racing drivers, and presenters. Remarkably, collecting has become a significant business, despite the watch industry reportedly struggling with revenue growth. It seems the vintage market is taking precedence on collectors' wish lists as time goes by.
