Although I don't really like much of what Hodinkee puts out, I have been a constant fan of their talking watches series. Some interesting watches with interesting stories.

 

Man...Mario Andretti is a deep sleeper. Who gets their watch stolen off their wrist while asleep?

 

Love these stuff. I don't like what hodinkee has become, but these talking watches are perfect.

 

Loved this ... Lehigh Valley boy here. Mario was great. What a collection!

 

I’m going to guess alcohol was involved somehow.

 

I’ve never been but the kid did his study abroad in Rio and Salvador. His mother and I were on pins and needles the whole time. His whole cohort got robbed, he lost his camera at the Jesus Statue, several were mugged in the beach in Rio. One does not fall asleep on the beach.

 

I would say it's not as outlandish as you might think. You've never been asleep in a strange place in a slightly less than sober state? Would be pretty easy to snatch a watch off your wrist in that situation.

Now whether it's wise to wear an expensive watch doing that is another matter...

 

Hey, thanks for this - isn't he just such a nice guy? Smiles all the time... what a role model.

 

Very good video. Nice guy. Talking watches is typically enjoyable.

 

Thoroughly enjoyed the video! Mario Andretti is a legend. Now I wonder what his 3646 "Andretti" will go for at auction.

 

One of the best videos of TW so far. Quite a character Mr. Andretti and what a collection!

 

Let’s not kill him off just yet!

 

loved this!!

Time to get my Andretti serviced and back on the wrist
