House Of Craft: Ronny Chieng On The Many Rabbit Holes Of Watch Enthusiasm
In partnership with UBS, we hosted a get-together and series of talks in New York City called “House of Craft.” The event featured a who’s who of watch-world luminaries, including industry legend Jean-Claude Biver, actor Keegan Allen, author Alton Brown, AP CEO of the Americas Ginny Wright, actor Daniel Dae Kim, journalist Jay Fielden, independent watchmaker Simon Brette, actor and comedian Ronny Chieng, dealer and collector Alessandro Fanciulli, auction specialist Geoff Hess, and menswear designer Todd Snyder.
This week, we’re back with another amazing chat from the UBS House of Craft featuring none other than the comedian, actor, and Talking Watches alum Ronny Chieng. Joining Ben on the stage in front of a live audience, Ronny digs into his father’s appreciation for vintage Omegas (and what it took to get them all running), special Seikos, wearing watches while performing live as a stand-up comedian, and his love of the lefty GMT-Master II from Rolex. It’s a fun and varied chat that traces Ronny’s love for a wide range of watches and ends with a very fun Q&A with the audience – we hope you love it.
