The Rolex Effect

from Antiques Roadshow Detours Hosted by GBH

Viewed over 20 million times, the two most popular videos on the YouTube page for GBH’s Antiques Roadshow were posted years apart but are remarkably similar: both feature appraisals of Rolex watches. Why do these timepieces capture the public in a way unlike any other object featured on the show? And what is it like to be the unexpected star of a “viral” video? Join DETOURS host Adam Monahan as he dives deep into the world of vintage watch collecting, both online and off. Watch the Rolex appraisals and more at www.wgbh.org/detours.
