What do you think of Ed Sheeran's watch collection?
Unless you’ve been living under a rock (or in North Korea, I suppose), you’ll have heard of Hodinkee, the online company that’s become more synonymous with contemporary watch culture than any other.
A regular fixture from Hodinkee is the Talking Watches video format, wherein wealthy and sexy individuals show off their dream-inducing watch collections. The most recent edition of Talking Watches sees none other than master musician/watch fiend John Mayer interviewing superstar Ed Sheeran about his obscenely cool timepieces and it did not disappoint. From his first, $100 Toy Watch (which is worth more to Sheeran than the rest of his collection combined), to his custom-made ‘Divide’ Tudor, the world’s favorite ginger bard has a wild and wonderful spread that’s as strangely like-able as the Brit himself.
If you’re into expensive stuff, he’s got you. Weird pieces? Check. Take a look yourself. Just do it in private because you will definitely become aroused.
I write a fun weekly newsletter on watches called Watch Bites. www.getwatchbites.com I analyze watch news, market trends, breakdowns, and deals. One email a week, read in 4 minutes or less.
I've known of Hoodwinkee for a few years now.
People with lots of money have some beautiful watches.
But aroused? Nope x a million.
Nope…it’s hyper rich people talking about exclusive watches that regular rich people won’t even be able to touch, not to mention just plain regular people.
These are exactly the kind of watches I would collect if I had faux you money.

It spouts the theory that richer you get, the more tacky your tastes become.
I can honestly say I did not like any of them, mayge bar the G-Shock but not keen on yellow. Some superbly made no doubt, but nothing for me there. But it does pose the question if you had more money than sense what would you buy.

You've definitely got a point there! But, you know, sometimes it's like watching a sci-fi movie - even though we may never get to fly a spaceship, we can still marvel at the technology and the passion behind it.

A sickening collection of geriatric billionaire watches which nobody normal will ever want or be able to afford. Nope.
You should get the sentence you wrote copyrighted before some actual "geriatric billionaire watch" company steals it for their slogan.
I would like to see Ed's collection because I'm interested in anyone's watch collection. But I would much rather see yours or that guy's that has the Timex museum in his house.
The Battle is on Guyssss!!!
