We were fortunate enough to make the acquaintance of Jay Leno and he invited us to visit him at his famous garage in Burbank California. He also kindly allowed us to make this video with him.
Special video: Jay Leno talks about watches and shows us his famous garage
The garage is everything that a motorhead could every wish for. Almost every kind of mechanical machine of any description, from steam engines to cars with aeroplane engines, from American muscle cars to the motorcycles, to exotic cars from Italy, England, Germany, France. He even has an actual working tank with a working cannon. He told us that he is licensed to have the gun as well as the live ammunition. He has been seen in LA driving around in the tank. And yes, when I was there, it was parked under a shed between the two huge garages (more like aircraft hangars) which house his motor vehicles.
In this video, he talks about his new love for watches, and he wears his A. Lange & Söhne Datograph Perpetual Calendar in platinum during the afternoon where he hosted me. I spent the best part of the afternoon being shown around his garage, stopping for him to talk about the pieces which caught my eye and which I thought may be of interest to you.

I hope you enjoyed this video, which I had great fun making. It was a very special and immense pleasure to meet Jay. He is a true collector and enthusiast. A wonderful guy to hang out with.
