I don’t know the guy, but there is something kind of hollow about it…
…the story is basically ‘rich well connected guy discovers watches, immediately uses connections to buy some ultra rare watches’. Combine that with the fact that I’ve seen him on the Hodinkee comments being condescending about other people choices (i saw a comment where someone said they found Daniels deigns to be too old fashioned, and he responded something along the lines of ‘well maybe stick with Breitling’), and there is something I just don’t really like
How could a collection ever be complete without a Dufour and a Daniels?
These pieces are almost impossible to acquire. It's demoralizing. How do we cope? Todd Levin got it so right so early. Huge congrats to him. Credit @levinartgroup1 on Instagram. ...
😉😜👌😊
Actually, wait ...just ridiculous! "PG-65!" No one should see it without a prior warning!
If no collection is complete without a Dufour or Daniels
Then 99.99999% of watch collections are incomplete. A collection is complete when the collector is completely satisfied… which is usually never 😂
The never ending desire
I think about this subject everyday. Am i complete or should i go on with collecting? My core is done, but one watch is missing. I must get it to be complete. After i go on, because it never stops. I am satisfied, but i just needed more watches.
Good morning, dear Weems!
You describe our "suffering" (luxury problems! 😉) as watch collectors very well. Perhaps sometimes we should ask ourselves if this unquenchable thirst doesn't come from somewhere else and this manic watch collecting is just a kind of … substitute gratific...
Do you mean
Do you mean we collect because there is something missing from our lives and hearts and we try to fill that hole with watches? But the problem is that hole could never be filled with materialistic objects and so we are never satisfied. A deeper issue that...
Yes, I think that collecting things
like we do - in a very passionate and sometimes also … manic way - might mean that we perhaps miss something. Of course that doesn't have to apply to everyone. But I think you have to be aware of that and should at least be careful. For me, this "hobby" (...
Me too me too!!!
I remember when these things could be acquired. Especially the Simplicities. I had folders stuffed with high-res pics on my hard drive and would go to sleep dreaming of a small WG Simplicity with that Metalem dial. Good times. I just had the one teeny-tin...
: )
I had a baby, a mortgage, and no way on earth to spend any significant money on a watch. Now that I do have a few dollars, the prices are insane. Just my luck!
Yes mr todd Levin has a spectacular collection
Some of the best independents Thanks for showing Julian
Owning a George Daniels when before nothing was there
It is remarkable. The story behind of his collection is interesting. It all began with the Citizen of his father. I guess Levin is a one of his kind. I guess it is a matter of time he wil collect as many watches as he can. Maybe this could be a peace, a m...
Me simple recipe.
I don't have to own everything. I can look at all these wonderful pieces of art like at pictures in a museum and enjoy it from a distance. That makes life a lot more relaxed. Best Thomas
If there really are collectors that say they don't consider price or value when buying watches that cost the equivalent of a luxury car...
...then they are deluding both themselves and anyone who will listen. Price and value are some of the many variables we all consider when acquiring or disposing of any asset/liability.

Interesting
I've watched him on several Watch Youtuber's live streams and he seems like a respectful and humble guy. I guess it's all relative.
Simple, in this price range a collection is complete with..
a Greubel Forsey, time only (no tourbillon for budget purposes) with 100 mt water resistance so you can wear it anyitme, anywhere.
