Just finished watching Nico’s latest watch ranking video on Youtube. He had an interesting take on FP Journe based on some events which happened when Francois was out with a group of high end watch collectors.

Basically, some shit went down and if this becomes public knowledge it could take down the watch brand.

Anyone know what this is about?

    I got the impression its to do with inappropriate behavior, and/or could be to do with some financial fraud (considering he was the only one to publicly come out and support onlywatch) Nico might be a complete tool however he is one of the most viewed watch ‘influencers’ and his views and comments have the ability to shape perception and secondary market.

    After reading these comments I didn’t realize how many people dislike Niko. Shitting on Hublot all the time and saying RM is class is kinda contradictory right? I’m kinda new to all this

    Yeah, i only watch him for some laughs for a long while now. There’s no educational aspect in his videos. And quite often he’s more cringe than fun, too. Those tier lists he does couldn’t be further away from reality, and they’re getting worse every year. Only accurate category is the Hublot one 🤣

    Even the ending of yesterday’s video, placing rolex higher this year cause they bought bucherer, was the perfect proof of him ranking all those watchmakers for all sort of other reasons BUT the quality of their watches!!! Like, why the fk should i care how big or strong of a brand rolex is? Does that mean they will produce better watches for lower, more accurate prices now cause of it or something? They’re still average luxury at stupidly inflated prices IF you can even find one to buy!!! That should place them at most in the ‘would buy’ category!

    Also, he doesnt rank jacob and co cause they produce art, not watches, but goes on to rank jaquet droz, which is pretty much in the same boat 🤣 And not to mention all the huge names renowned for their high quility placed meh or bellow! The guy’s delusional if he really thinks he’s a watch expert, lmfao!

    Ummmm …. I don’t see people running to off load their Volkswagens and Porsches. Some people have trouble separating the art from the artist…. I collect the art. Hodl 🤣
