Every time I see a Moritz Grossmann, I appreciate them more and more. Something clear jewels and purpled hands that really draws me in. Clean simple, while offering still incredible detail.
I might not have Invicta on my buy list… but I also wouldn’t buy every Rolex. Which is to say there is a difference between buying invicta v. Buying one of “those” invictas. Whatever my watch bros buy, I hope they wear it in good health, even if I don’t have the stones to tell them it looks better on their wrist.
I just got a Zodiac Sea Chron a month ago and it has surpassed all expectations i had. The case thickness measures a little large but really doesnt feel like it on the wrist. I will be looking at getting a Zodiac super sea wolf in the future.
Seiko can pound sand. :) They obviously don't care much about QC these days. Given their movements are on all sorts of microbrands that CAN line up indexes, I don't see why anyone would want to pay their elevated prices for watches they obviously don't care about.
I question the 'cooler' aspect. There are plenty of cool looking watches on the market these days. They certainly have history but today's Seiko is not yesterday's, so to speak. Maybe it has something to do with production being in China vs Japan for their lesser models. I do have the Arnie on my list but it will likely be the only Seiko branded watch from them that I'd buy. In the sub $1000 range they have some good offerings, but mineral crystal abounds along with poor QC. Anything above $1000 and I'd rathe buy a Squale, Hamilton, or some other brand in that range. @@cardinalj
Very interesting video Teddy. I really enjoy the historical references which provide a line of sight from todays mechanical watch brands into our past.
I've had a Fortis Cosmonaut Chronograph Alarm from 2001, I'm basically dropping by ever youtube video that actually mention Fortis, which is not that many at all :D
Nobody ever talks about were Steve McQueen got the hanhart 417. It’s not a-tale going to tell here . The vulcain cricket was worn during the 1954 climb by the Italians to the top of K2, this is the greatest achievement in mountaineering history, until the mountain was climbed again during winter in 2021 .
My Hanhart is one of the few watches I get comments on. I've had it for quite a while, and I find I love it more and more every time I put it on. You won't regret it.
Teddy sir, i have long said that alrhough i love watches i could NEVER buy a premium watch to myself........no no i would NEVER do that. however, i have no problem AT ALL in gifting premium watches to other people. Part of that purpose is in showing the person how valuable their own time is to themselves.......a Rolex for example thanks V
I like the Vulcain. I like the look, it's history and it's function. The alarm is actually very useful as a reminder to eat, or a time to leave etc... What do you think of the watch and it's $5K price point?
Post on the fragrance page. I just got into niche fragrances and loved your channel and the blind reactions. It's been a year!!! binged all your videos already.Please keep up the high quality content.
Great video! I'm always eager to hear new stories about watch brands with great heritage, but I think that wrist watch fan after all could be hiding even behind Casio or Invicta watch of course 😀
Teddy please do a video on Hajime Asaoka's - Kurono Tokyo. Very renowned watchmaker known for exclusive one of a kind watches who’s introduced a ‘design’ line of watches. Be interested to hear your thoughts on Hajime and the Kurono brand Thanks, Tom
I think some of these go against the exact premise you stated in the begining. Ressence? Vulcain? They have one watch that just comes in a few differing colors? I think Ressence is the definition of a startup. Tutima, I had never heard of them but at least they have numerous offerings. Grossman? Maybe if you run in circles where they can typically drop $40k+ on a watch. The Hanhart, Fortis, Zodiac picks I can get behind. History, multiple models, not in a large number of stores and must be sought out and still relatively affordable.
Kudos to Teddy and he's team! So many times these types of videos are self serving. They present you with a brand, then advertise their website where such products can be purchased. None of the brands mentioned in this video are listed for sale on Teddy's page. He's giving you (us) opinions without trying to shove a "buy now" now our throats.
I'd like to have that she boss 🤣. Vulcain , as it reads 'The watch for presidents' is greatly underrated although it's a very good brand. Trying to make a selection of swiss watches is hard: you missed Tissot, Certina, Longines, Breguet, Oris IWC, VC, JLC just to name a few...
Consider starting with "What's on your wrist?" as your intro, especially if it highlights a watch that represents the theme of your video? It's a fun and engaging way to get viewers excited about watches.
That’s not true about Hublot with respect but 100% true of MVMT!😂😂 Just because my man @Nico loves to trash Hublot(they sell lots of watches) doesn’t mean that Hublot (pronounced …(Oob-low) doesn’t make watches that serious(“deep”) horology enthusiasts own and want to own. Your gonna get plenty of jokes @ a meet up because of @Nico! It also depends on the model!
Would love a video of what watch or watches the winner of the shopping spree won. I know for myself was very fun to dream and quite stressful to pick out favorites! Let's all live vicariously through the lucky winner!
Zodiac still hasn’t gotten its QC under control yet. I bought a Super Seawolf two weeks ago. The STP movement quit after 1 week. I wound it, hacked it to set the time and it would not start up again. Between that, the gritty winding, and the dial defects I found (dimples in the enamel), I would caution anyone looking to purchase one.
I'm still seeing a lot of stories like this. I love Zodiac's design style, and I've been wanting to pick up a Seawolf for ages, but I've seen too many bad experiences to feel comfortable buying one at the moment.
@@rowaystarco Imo, if you have the money to get a VC, then you also have the money to get a PP or a AP, but the former is not as hyped and less popular compared to both PP and AP. So the fact that you chose VC over the two means you aren't buying into the hype and also spent time thinking about what kind of watch you really want.
@@rowaystarco If someone is ready to put 30k + on a watch that they love and a watch that looks like a Orient dress watch to the untrained eye, that person is deeply in to watches.
I absolutely love this series! It's fun when someone asks about a watch I have on and I provide a brief history/description. I like introducing people to horology.
Exactly on point. People who wear these brands care what they are wearing, not what other people think what you are wearing.
Every time I see a Moritz Grossmann, I appreciate them more and more. Something clear jewels and purpled hands that really draws me in. Clean simple, while offering still incredible detail.
I have been lusting for a Vulcain Cricket for years. 10k more Teddy!!! Congratz in advance. Well deserved 1M sub.
Invicta is the real class act for high end watch collectors.
I know you mean it sarcastic but my invicta pro diver is a joy and for this budget even very accurate. I wear it right now to be honest 😊
I might not have Invicta on my buy list… but I also wouldn’t buy every Rolex. Which is to say there is a difference between buying invicta v. Buying one of “those” invictas. Whatever my watch bros buy, I hope they wear it in good health, even if I don’t have the stones to tell them it looks better on their wrist.
😂😂😂
The 1953 is actually pretty nice. I put mine on a oysterflex clone band.
That’s just flat out false, no real watch collectors would be seen wearing an Invicta, real watch enthusiasts wear Fossil, only posers wear invicta.
I love Ressence! My Grail watch and lucky to own one for several years now.
lucky you! I have still both kidneys though!
Can’t wait to see you hit 1M Teddy, keep up the great work.
I just got a Zodiac Sea Chron a month ago and it has surpassed all expectations i had. The case thickness measures a little large but really doesnt feel like it on the wrist. I will be looking at getting a Zodiac super sea wolf in the future.
Fortis and their space watches speak to my watch collector & nerdiness tendencies. I love the Amadee-20
Secret grails for me would be the OMEGA Marstimer and the Clive Cussler edition DOXA😊
always an education with your videos teddy. Amazing stuff !
Great video, Teddy. My mind immediately went to Doxa but it looks like it was covered in a previous video.
These are brands you truly wear for yourself, something that reflects curated taste. Great video.
Great picks Teddy! And another great topic to cover. You never run out of ideas for great video productions!
I think some vanguard microbrands like Christopher Ward, Zelos, and Brew definitely give enthusiast vibes, as well
Not sure I’d include Christopher Ward as they are fairly mainstream getting close to fashion.
Certainly Zelos. Farer is another I have been admiring, their colorful dials are great.
I would also include Chronoswiss!
Been eyeing the Hanhart 417 for a while - it’s a proper piece of history 👍
Yes!!!!!! Fortis also invented the first automatic watch, water resistant watches, and first and only mechanical chronograph alarm watch.
Nope. First automatic was Perrelet.
A few brands that come to mind are Sinn , Damasko, Dornblueth and Sohn, a Seiko automatic and any vintage piece
Dornblueth and Sohn, yes please.
Seiko can pound sand. :) They obviously don't care much about QC these days. Given their movements are on all sorts of microbrands that CAN line up indexes, I don't see why anyone would want to pay their elevated prices for watches they obviously don't care about.
@@JF-lt5zcI would say because Seiko is cooler and they will be around longer than the other micro brands.

It should be for $50,000!!

4:20 My lord that Vulcain is absolutely beautiful in that color. I never knew about this one, but it immediately spoke to me
My dady bought one NKUWAN and he loves it. It had been there for over 10 years when he went out with it.
Outstanding video. You hit the nail on the head. The only brand I may have added is Sinn. Really enjoy your videos…!
Love the videos. How about one best rectangular and/or square dials? Thank you!
Thanks for helping develop my watch addiction.
Hope to see you soon at your new store near the Breitlings.
Vulcain Fortis n Zodiac fantastic…about the last two just Perfect!!!!!💪👏👍❤️❤️
All good brands. Hanhart & Tutima are underrated
I bought a Tutima FX UTC 22 years ago graduating high school, sadly it got lost but just was able to replace it! I always wanted one of the 798’s.
Zodiac is my favorite brand right now. High priced, historical and awesome. Love my Olympos.
One of these days I'm getting a Hanhart...
so what?
My Hanhart is one of the few watches I get comments on. I've had it for quite a while, and I find I love it more and more every time I put it on. You won't regret it.
Me, too.
Yeah, the 39mm 417 ES chronographs of the past few years are reeaaaally attractive, so is the 40mm Mk I monopusher.
dope video I have always loved the obscure lesser known brands
Thanks a lot for the video. It would be great if you could offer some of the watches from your store.
Fortis is a classic! We had a cuckoo fortis when i was a kid, excellent clock. You got me interested in tutima.
Teddy sir, i have long said that alrhough i love watches i could NEVER buy a premium watch to myself........no no
i would NEVER do that.

I agree Sinn could be on the list. Along with Christopher Ward, Zelos and Damascus.
Great video! The Cricket is beautiful. Where would you put O&W on the list? I find myself drawn to the function and aesthetics.
Coming up one one milly, Teddy!!! Been here since 200k subscribers!
Another great video Teddy thx. By the way is it a Marathon GSAR on your wrist 😎
I like the Vulcain. I like the look, it's history and it's function. The alarm is actually very useful as a reminder to eat, or a time to leave etc... What do you think of the watch and it's $5K price point?
I didn’t know about Vulcain until just now! Gotta be one of my top new fav design languages in a brand.
That Grossman was beautiful. Thanks for the content!

Hi Teddy, have you done video on Union Glashutte? Could you please share your opinion on it if you haven't?
I love the look of Fortis & Tutima
Thanks, Teddy. I’m curious what led to JLC’s exclusion here? Didn’t see it in prior videos, I’m afraid.
Is that a Marathon GSAR on your wrist or am I just happy to see you? My 2005 sample is my daily.

My first watch was given brand citizen 70s Today i wear seiko kinetic gmt must say Bravissimo
I was going to suggest Certina, but awareness of the brand in North America seems to be growing.
H Moser, Lange, Glassutte Original, Nomos and Sinn should be on the list .
Casio. You know why? Because you can never have just one of them.
Hey Teddy, what is your opinion about MIDO watches? Thanks :)
This video was a humbling experience
cool frames, bro . what model is this ?
Good video teddy moritz crosman is expensive watch how mutch cost?💯👍
Tutima is cool. Wish they were a tad more affordable. I really like the Saxon One series.

What watch are you wearing in this video? Is it a Marathon GSAR?
Thanks Teddy!
id love to see you cover the Sinn financial district watches... largely under the radar but quite interesting from Sinn
I think Cuervo y Sobrinos should be up there, a very unique brand and has a very interesting history!
So close to a million subs Teddy
What about Lang & Heyne :). IMO some of the greatest watches out there at any price.
I'd like to have that she boss 🤣.
Vulcain , as it reads 'The watch for presidents' is greatly underrated although it's a very good brand.

Great video, what about ZRC?
A very interesting and enjoyable video.
Love this one Teddy. Great work. I would add Ulysse Nardin. If I see one of those in the wild, I know I’ve found a fellow watch nerd. 🤓
Hi all . The secret is build a watches to sale
But , sometime it's art, and must to pay !

Thank you Teddy !
What are your thoughts on YEMA watches?
Bremont
Is that Tutima 798 a Porsche Design? I see so many brands using the Porsche design, I was wondering if anybody knows where it was originally used.
Consider starting with "What's on your wrist?" as your intro, especially if it highlights a watch that represents the theme of your video? It's a fun and engaging way to get viewers excited about watches.
Could you make a video on some small second hand watches plz
good choices. I probably would have added Sinn to the list.
While I don't know any dead giveaways for watch enthusiasts, I do know you won't walk out a watch meet alive if you wear Hublot or an MVMT to it.

F91-W. You know you want it!
pls make a review on the new tissot pr516 chronograph!!
Eterna also seems like one of those brands to me.
Some brands I did not know
Damasko, Stowa, Sinn
Is that Fortis chronograph hand stuttering
You should try hmt watch

I almost bought one a couple months ago. Glad I didnt. Thanks for the heads up!
