This is a Greek style

Pocket watches got a really
neat history in this country.

Pocket watches basically
started in Europe,

notoriously inaccurate.

By, like, the 1600s, they had
pretty accurate clocks

to regulate them,

but watches,
on the other hand,

they couldn't have a pendulum,

all these different mechanisms

run on time,

the technology, and basically,

around the 1850s, machine tools

began to get
really inexpensive

Industrial Revolution thing.

So here in the States, uh,

little watch companies
started popping up everywhere.

And plain and simple, we had
the best watches in the world.

Our watches were so much better
than, like, European watches,

congress passed a law

saying you had to put the
origin of the watch

Cy Young is probably one of

wasn't his name, actually.

He came into baseball and they
gave him the nickname "Cyclone"

that they said he was
throwing a cyclone.

to Cy.

Cy Young ended his career
with 511 wins,

for most wins by a pitcher.

Whether you've sipped
a fine cabernet

during your bougie trip
to Napa Valley

or just kept it simple with
a good ole post‐work bottle

of Two‐Buck Chuck,

most of us have a relationship
with wine.

But the process of making
a vino truly special

is more than just
fermenting grapes.

It really is a science.

So what's behind it all?

Well, for one, oxygen.

It's as crucial
to wine production

as it is to human life.

When O2 mixes with alcohol,

it produces vinegar,

which means you need
just the right amount.

A little bit can bring out
some really great flavors,

but too much and you got
yourself salad dressing.

[buzzer]

Then there's aging.

Once a wine is fermented
and bottled, it's stored,

and you don't want to drink it
until it fully matures.

Some wines need more time
than others

to hit that perfect
sweet spot.

Hence the phrase,
"ages like a fine wine."

[swanky music]

As it ages, it changes color.

Its aroma morphs.

It becomes smoother
to the taste.

the drinking.

it was about 10 years later
they realized,

"Man, we really need
to get in the market

"of selling stuff
for people to ride

when they're on these bikes."

So, like, 1912,
they started with the jerseys,

and then, you know, helmets
and just so on and so forth.

Something like this, I mean,

it was more
of a practical thing.

If you went to work every day
on your motorcycle,

that was your only
form of transportation,

you couldn't just call out
sick every time it rained.

They had this coating

Has this thing
ever even been used?

‐ I believe so.
If you look inside,

a little bit of soiling.

[intriguing music]

‐ Okay.
‐ You gotta realize, man,

that when
they made these things,

you had to be able
to jump off your bike

on the side of the road
and throw this on really quick.

So that's why it's got, like,
the long zipper and, you know,

the accessory belt,
and then you could actually

cinch those up,
and they'd go around your boots

so air wouldn't flow or rain
wouldn't flow up your legs.

It was an incredible
13th‐century invention

that helped heat houses.

Okay, it would have a "dog"
coming off the back of it.

That's what they called it,
anyway‐‐

basically just an iron bar
that came down with a leg‐‐

and then you would
have another one next to it.

So you put your logs on
the fireplace in it,

which made
the logs burn hotter,

because oxygen
could get underneath them,

and then the dog would be
attached to the andiron,

and that would get really,
really hot.

But since it was sticking
outside the fireplace,

it would heat
the room better

because 99% of the heat
in a fireplace

just goes
straight up the chimney.
