Tim Mosso (Watchbox) on how he became YouTube’s king of watch reviews.

By his own reckoning, Tim Mosso has reviewed some 6 or 7000 watches, many of them on Watchbox’s YouTube channel. The combination of experience, deep product knowledge and a comprehensive understanding of how watches are made, bought and sold makes Tim Mosso someone to listen to, especially if you’re looking to buy a watch. We find out just how Tim goes about reviewing a watch, even if it’s not one he personally likes (spoiler, it’s either like a sailor or a lawyer). We also get Tim’s take on what he thinks makes a bad (or a good) watch, the most overlooked element of watch design (lugs!), what’s trending, and which brands are milking those trends too much. We also talk about why watches leaning heavily into nostalgia need to pay attention to car design, and if the hype is ever justified. This interview is a little longer than usual, but it’s all thriller no filler.
