Talking Watches: With Don McLean

Since the stratospheric success of “American Pie,” McLean has had a few more hits, such as “Vincent,” and “Driedel,” and he continues to tour the world performing today. A few decades ago, McLean discovered a love of watches and began to build his collection, buying his first watch while on tour in London around 1990, a gold-plated Rolex that he used to lull his baby daughter to sleep. Later, he added to his collection, which now ranges from elegant Patek Philippe Calatravas to sporty Rolexes to a more robust Chopard “Mille Miglia” chronograph. He likes picking up watches from his local dealer in Palm Desert, California, as well as scouring pawn shops for unexpected finds. No matter where the hunt takes him, he’s always sure to be a wearing a watch on stage while he performs. So, without further ado, this is Talking Watches with Don McLean.
