The J.Rogan experience. The difference between a $500 watch and a $5,000 watch and a $50,000 watch and a $500,000 watch is just further and further into the details. That one watch that was good for 400 years, that's bananas. Yeah. And there's other ones like that. I have a hard time with that. Yeah. I'm having a hard time with that. Crazy math machines. I love the crazy math machines. There's watches that play chimes. There's watches that where you hit a button and like a thing like dances, like a cuckoo clock, there's like all kinds of crazy shit people do. That's ridiculous. Yeah. There's a genre of porno watches. Have you seen the porno watches? Where it's literally you hit a button and people like start banging. In front of you? Like on the... Yeah. No, on the watch dial. On the watch dial. Yeah, no, no. Like a mechanical animatronic couple starts fucking on the dial. Oh, well that's ridiculous. It's kind of hilarious. That's ridiculous. It's a very rare genre of watches and they're very, very expensive. Very hard to Google that. What's that one I saw this one guy had one that was like a dome and inside his own it's a planet. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's called a Jacob Astronomia. And so anybody who wears that, like you got to be some kind of... They're a million dollars. You got to be some kind of pimp. To have a planetarium on your forearm. So do you remember Jacob the jeweler? That's him. This is us. This is the universe. You're one of those and have people look at you without... You're being a little crazy. So the Astronomy... It's like a fishbowl you put on your fucking wrist. It's the weirdest thing ever. And it's designed to... There it is. So that's the mechanism that rotates around the fishbowl. And it's got something called... The thing that's flipping about is called a tourbillon and that is the time regulating mechanism and the mainspring which keeps it wound. And then as you can see the actual clock itself rotates and stays vertical. And then you've got this earth thing and then you've got this big diamond that spin around. And it's a huge thing you wear on your wrist. It's probably 48 or 49 millimeters and it's like putting a fishbowl on your wrist. Because it's got a big glass like case over it. That is so crazy. So that's what one looks like in person. That is so crazy. Look at it. That's a million dollars. Oh so this one he's showing is the roulette wheel one. No it's got a roulette wheel in it that actually works. You wind it up and it sends a ball and you actually can play roulette on the watch. It's called the Astronomia Casino. Yeah. Batshit right? Imagine you lose your house from... This one's an animated one. It's an oil derrick that pumps. So when they spin it, like I'm sure he'll show it, but look yeah the oil derrick. So did somebody design this because they owned an oil company? I'm certain that that is what happened. They had it made? Yeah. Oh my god that's amazing. Yeah. How much you think it cost to make that? It's probably a million dollars. Of course it is. It's gross too. I wouldn't even want to touch it. No it's not. You don't want to wear something like that. No it's like... What are you talking about? Why are you getting it? That's crazy. I don't know why I wouldn't get it, but like if you... I don't know why you'd get it. You'd have to really appreciate the art of it. Look at what the fuck is going on there. Oh it's a moon man floating. It's cool. Moon man. It doesn't work. Moon man is floating. I mean you know there's another company called MB&F which is not as kind of dumb for lack of a better word. It's less, just a little less flashy and it looks like a fucking rocketeer Trekkie space communicator but it's all mechanical. It's called MB&F and they come out... People are doing some real creative shit, Joe. Oh they really are. That's the kind of shit that made Dan Kaczynski move to the woods and become a unibomber. He knew where all this is going. People can't leave anything alone. They have to innovate on everything. Well it's kind of okay isn't it? Oh it's really okay. Look it makes our life way more interesting. There's worse things than innovating in a mechanical timepiece. Oh no it's amazing. So this is MB&F. This is where those two domes sort of spin around. They make a couple different crazy ones. Oh my god that's beautiful. So they have these sort of real spacey kind of alien device type watches. I mean they're very expensive but they're very... That is so gorgeous. That's 40G's. Let me see that again. That is so pretty. The one with the four is really crazy too. What is that? Yeah so you can see on the left is the hour and the right is the minute. That's like a scale. An old timey scale at grandpa's house. This is my jam. That's the space jam right there. What is that? It's just crazy fucking watchmaking dude. What is that? Yeah it's space machines. Where? Back that up. The one... What is that? What the fuck? So that one, the bottom left... You better have a phone if you want to know the time. Yeah this shit ain't for telling the time bro. This is for telling everybody that you run shit. That is the craziest thing to have on your body. Right? You got a house on your body. So in this one, this one the entire clock moves around the diamonds. Course it does. Yeah why wouldn't it? Why wouldn't it? Of course it does. Spin bitch. I mean you know it's all real crazy. The round one is very cool. That was the concentric one. As the clock... Look at that. It looks like a UFO. That one on the right hand side that you just had Jamie. What is that? This? No no no the blue one. Sorry. Blue one that you just had? Yeah. So that's concentric rings. What is that? The rings are concentric. So you see the line on the bottom. So it's 552 is the time there. Or 452 excuse me 452. What is the center? Is that a squirrel? In the center is the tourbillon. That's the mechanism that powers it. There's other watches. Have you ever heard of an HYT watch? No. HYT watches are fucking nuts because they're powered by bellows and liquid. So they tell the time... Yeah give me one where you can see some of the liquid. How do you know so much? I had to study this shit. Wait no that's not a good picture Jamie. Why are you talking about that? Stop. That thing's dope as fuck. No no bottom left. I want to show the liquid specifically. So that one right there. That. Yeah we did this on the right thing. So the liquid fills up and moves around the face as the time goes. And these bellows move. So you see the bellows in the middle there? It's pumping the liquid around the fucking clock face. I feel like you've shown this to me before. Maybe. That one seemed familiar when I saw it. Yeah yeah the liquid ones. So those are like 40, 50, 60 thousand dollars. It starts getting real crazy. The liquid shit. That's amazing. That's such crazy balling. That skull one. 72 G's. That skull one's pretty goddamn dope. Axl Rose is sponsored by this company. Of course he is. If I was an angry rock and roll guy. Not saying that Axl is but you know you got angry style. That's a perfect thing. Right? Yep. I mean you wouldn't recommend it to James Taylor. In my mind. Like you know what I'm saying? Some people couldn't like. Takes a certain type. Yeah. But if you wanted to get into some really next level weirdness that's a good way to do it. What is that? What's that box? What is that? It's a PS2 wrist drive scuba pro. That's a dive computer. Oh fuck. It's a scuba diving computer. Oh yeah that one right there is the FBNF legacy machine perpetual. So this round one right. One to the right Jamie. Diving makes me feel the same as reverse Alex Honnold. That's what diving makes me feel the same. I'm like get up get up. This one does the same shit as the first one I showed you. It counts the date and stuff for like 400 years. But it just does it in a prettier crazier way. Oh my god that's so beautiful. Yeah. See this is what I'm fascinated by. That somebody and some group of people obviously it's not like one wizard. And they're doing it at multiple companies all around the world. And they're innovating and they're competing with each other to make cooler and weirder shit. Yeah. And all this stuff is like I guess it's a watch but it's way more than just a watch. Like that thing up. Sorry Jamie. That's that one that was that weird spaceship one that was yeah the one right there right there right there. That one. Like space communicator watch. That is so crazy. Yeah. That thing. Yeah. That's not really a watch. This one's cool. It's mechanical but it's it's but you read it from the side like that. It's very very space communicator. Yeah it's cool. It's something different. It's something what it's like. It's like the night. It's like that singer DLS right. They take this old the old way and they evolve the old way as far as they can. So these watches have this amazing materials like really interesting alloys they make for stuff. They a lot of these companies make their own alloys which is really interesting. Look at this thing. So cool man. What is that? It's like a it looks like what we thought a spaceship was going to look like in the 1950s. Yeah. And it's a watch. Yeah. Doesn't that kind of look so. Like movie The Rocketeer. It reminds me of The Rocketeer's rocket. Yes. Yes. Yes. So it's totally like. Yeah. Oh my god. Like you know how Elon's only seen space balls like this dude's only seen The Rocketeer. Oh my god that's so beautiful. Yeah. So this shit's incredible dude and if you most people will think you're a weirdo for wearing it but if you wore something like this to like a watch nerds gathering. Oh my god. They'll think you're the king of the universe you walk in selling this. I'm going to a watch nerd gathering after this. Are you really? There's a grand Seiko party. They announced the new watch. Oh. Is it the Godzilla watch? The Godzilla watch. Which I don't really like car watch co-brands. I think the connection is obvious enough you don't need to shove it in my face. But I'm still going to go to the party. It's a car watch co-brand. Godzilla is the Nissan GTR. Right. Not the movie monster. So it's a cross branding with the Nissan GTR and the grand Seiko. I got confused. I thought it was like an anniversary thing for Godzilla. I think it's the Nissan GTR. Oh so that Godzilla. That Godzilla. Oh well it looks dope. It does look dope. Oh wait it might actually be the movie Godzilla. 65th anniversary. Maybe it is this fucking 65th anniversary. They came out with a Nissan GTR watch like months ago so maybe I just got confused. Oh no no no no you did. I remember the GTR watch was like a chronograph. Yeah. It was like a bunch of different little yeah. That's what I get for not doing my homework. I guess it is the movie monster anniversary. My bad. Like it's like a dinosaur skin. Yeah the leather skin. Yeah see that one GTR 50th that was like a couple months ago so sorry. Their manufacturing. Their finish quality is amazing. Let me see that Godzilla thing again. Did you do the thing I told you about the reflections on the back of the hands? Not yet. So grand Seiko. I believe it. Their finishing on the back of the hands is as good as the finishing on the front of the hands and if you reflect a light certainly certain ways you can get it to reflect on the dial it's really cool. That thing looks wicked. Yeah. It's a really nice watch. Well they have really pretty design. Whoever is designing their stuff it's very that's a weird thing about like watches or anything that someone makes it's like what what appeals to the eye like that that TGT studios clock see that thing right. This thing. Like that's awesome. Yeah it's something it appeals to the eye. It's a piece of art that also tells you the time but there's something about it like the way it's shaped the way it's formed. Yeah. It makes you want to look at it. It's interesting. Well the really the very best watches. Yeah. You just stare at them sometimes. Yeah. Like your watch I love you. Is your spring drive. Yeah. Yeah. So the spring drive with the super smooth hands. I'm pretending I'm diving. You don't need to wear a B diving to wear a dive watch. Diving bro I got a dive. You never know. Shit hits the fan. I want a waterproof watch. No you just get you get your shit wet all the time probably right between the tanks and the sweating and the washing your hands and whatever. It's definitely gonna get wet occasionally. Yeah. I mean it's a dive watch isn't for people who dive it's for people who just get their hands wet. Tell that to a diver they want to piss in your mouth right now. Fuck you bro. I'm a diver. I'm a diver. I'm a diver. I'm a diver. I'm a diver. I'm a diver. I'm a diver. I'm a diver. I'm a diver. I'm a diver. I'm a diver. I'm a diver. I'm a diver. I'm a diver. I'm a diver. I'm a diver.
