Okay, so today, I’m gonna talk about my little adventure with the “James May Watch” thing. You know, I’m a big fan of watches, not those super fancy ones, but the cool, practical ones that just work well and look good on your wrist. Anyway, I stumbled upon this whole James May watch collection thing and got curious. I mean, the guy’s known for his, shall we say, “unique” taste, so I figured his watch collection must be interesting.
Started Digging Around
First off, I did what any normal person would do – I started googling. Typed in “James May watch collection” and bam! A ton of stuff popped up. Apparently, this dude’s got like 14 watches. That’s a lot of watches! I saw some names I recognized, like Rolex and IWC, but also some I didn’t, like Rado. It was a mixed bag, just like I expected.
Diving Deeper
Next, I went through some forums and articles. I found out that knowing the right time is pretty important to him, there was even an interview about it. It makes sense, time is important, but the way he talked about it was kinda cool. There’s this quote, “Knowing the right time is unbelievably empowering,” which I thought was neat.
Sifting Through the Noise
Then there was a bunch of other stuff, like where to watch his shows. I already knew about that, I mean, who doesn’t? You can use the App, or website, or even Smart TV. You just need to sign up for it. So, that wasn’t really helpful for my watch hunt. I also read about some other guy, Jeremy, who apparently wears an Omega Seamaster or IWC pilot watch all the time. That’s cool and all, but not what I was looking for.
Putting It All Together
So, after a few hours of this, here’s what I gathered: James May has a bunch of watches, some fancy, some not so much. He thinks knowing the time is important, which is obvious but also kinda profound when you think about it. And people really like to talk about what watches these guys wear, for some reason.
My Takeaway
Honestly, the whole thing was more interesting than I thought it would be. It’s not just about the watches themselves, but also about why people like them, and how they fit into someone’s life. I mean, I’m not gonna go out and buy 14 watches or anything, but it made me appreciate my own watch a bit more. It’s just a simple thing, tells the time, but it’s always there, on my wrist, keeping me on track.
Anyway, that’s my little journey into the world of James May’s watches. It was a fun way to spend an afternoon, and I learned a thing or two. Maybe I’ll check out some of those Rado watches, see what they’re all about.
