Marshall does a great job of keeping his channel enjoyable – after all, you can only watch so many 50-minute videos of full watch services, they’re largely the same to the layman. You need a backstory, and he gets that balance (pun intended) right.
I’m not appreciating – with the exception of the CW Compressor – my watches for anything other than the visual appearance
I’m largely the other way, usually can’t see half the things that aesthetes talk about (hence buying a yellow moonswatch…), but can lose hours in something like the satisfying mechanical click of the chrono button on a Speedy, the way the hand resets, the rattliness of a well-worn 50 year old jubilee bracelet, or that almost musical sound a movement makes when beating in a small steel case with a plain caseback.
