    A crossover of watches and video games on a popular watch channel? This just keeps getting better and better!

  • @grevevonmonokel2511
    @grevevonmonokel2511 Год назад +32

    The watch in the game is pretty much an exact representation of the Lum-Tec Super Combat B2, and at first i thought the on in the show was a MSTR official tlou watch, but the lack of crownguards indicate that it is a unique piece for the show.

      Plus the three-hand dial with the 'small seconds' sub-dial on the show would imply that the sub-dial for the show is likely a 24 hour display.

    (i haven’t watched the whole video by the time i’m writing this)
    joel’s watch breaks the SAME time sarah dies. time quite literally stops for him in that moment and it’s why the grief and pain is still so fresh to him even 20 years later. he touches his watch every time he thinks of his first daughter. the watch does not only signify his birthday and a present from his daughter, but it can also be a metaphor for the pause/stop of societal progress due to that same day being outbreak day.

    Played both TLOU 1&2 so many times. Absolutely brilliant storyline which is both heartbreaking and exciting at the same time. The fact they turned a video game in to a TV show goes to show how great the story really was.

  • @TheTrueHasenfeffer
    @TheTrueHasenfeffer Год назад +6

    What I loved about how they showed how emotionally attached Joel was to that watch in game. At the very end, where Ellie confronts Joel about the Fireflies, Joel talked about finally again having things worth fighting for, Joel reflexively grips the watch with his right hand, running his thumb over the crystal. I'm sure Troy Baker did it very deliberately, but it points back to his daughter , and how much Ellie has come to mean to him. I thought it was a great detail and tells everyone what we already know. Watches can be an emotional touchstone linked to our past. My favorites are for me.

It should be). Looking forward to more of these. Thanks!

    I've heard that you know that you're a watch collector if you have found yourself staring at your watch dial and realize that you never actually noticed what time it is.
    I would humbly add that you know that you're a watch collector if you are watching a TV show or movie and the only thing that you can think about is "wait, what's that on the actor's wrist?" 😁

  • @khronokraze
    @khronokraze Год назад +7

    They actually made that watch for the game.. limited edition and I'm sure it's now more expensive than one would want to pay for one on 2nd hand market.
    There is a Lum-Tec Super Combat B2 that is closest looking to Joel's watch.
    Otherwise, a completely fictional watch which is more for just the story than for the true watch fan.
    I thought it was funny the watchmaker said it needed a spring to fix. The only thing that could remotely be a spring in that quartz movement is maybe the battery cell contacts.. sometimes they are spring like in their tension.. but, it's not what a watchmaker would call a "spring". Just should have said it needs a new battery.. which may have been equally funny Joel was either too cheap or lazy to replace a battery.

    • @edrader

    @garethsigrist8714 Год назад +9

    Absolutely loved this video Jenni! I’m a huge Last of Us fan and in fact it was playing and falling in love with that original game back in 2013 which helped get me back into watches as a 27 year old adult after a few years of not wearing a watch at all in my late teens/early twenties.
    Given the significance of Joel’s watch in the game I started to wonder what sort of watch it was and if I could get one. I started learning about things called “field watches” and “nato straps” and sub seconds dials 😂 I ended up buying a Timex Expedition which looked kind of like the watch in the game to my novice eyes and I’ve been falling deeper down the watch enthusiast rabbit hole ever since 😂
    The current favourite watch in my collection is my Oris Big Crown ProPilot which leans a bit more towards Flieger rather than field watch but it does have a coin edge bezel somewhat reminiscent of the watch in the game so the connection to TLoU is definitely there.

  • @davidhouston8017
    @davidhouston8017 Год назад +16

    Jenni, Am I missing something?! It appears that Joel’s TV watch has a sub seconds hand AND a central seconds hand 🤷‍♂️

    • @roymorrison6713
      @roymorrison6713 Год назад +3

      Indeed. Makes me think that the circle at 6 O’clock is something other than a small seconds indicator, also the lugs are thin and resemble a dress with more than any field military watch.

    Joel's watch in both games is a Lum Tec Super Combat B2. Literally identical, right down to the numerals and the small seconds. The show however is a random no-name watch made to vaguely resemble the game's watch.

  • @caomhan84

    That case looks like the same one Timex uses on their 40mm quartz watches (Snoopy, etc). It looks like the exact same one, from lugs to crown. The dial, though, is something I've never seen before.

  • @alphacause

    Jenni,
    I love the idea of using a TV series or movies to introduce those, who previously were not familiar with the history of watches, to the world of horology, while also showing those who are watch enthusiasts the role that their beloved watches play in imbuing characters with distinct and subtle visual style. I think the role of watches in media would be an interesting series of videos for you to produce. The most logical place to start would be to show the evolution of watches through the many decades of 007 movies, as no character on the big or small screen has elevated the prestige of luxury watches more than James Bond.

  • @KwanLowe
    @KwanLowe Год назад

    Yay. I enjoy it when two of my fan spaces collide: watches and post-apocalyptic games/series. This was posted before the last episode where the metaphor is pointed out directly by Tommy: "...life has stopped for you...". Have you ever looked at other films where the watch is allergory or metaphor for time stopping? The trope where the second hand slows to an almost stop to show where time slows down, or a watch used to mark time until death, or watch as heart.

  • @mywatch...
    @mywatch... Год назад

    Did anyone noticed that watchmaker says: "its a spring", in a quartz watch. Although Im aware that, there are tiny springs in a quartz watch that connect movement to the back case, I think that the watch wold still work without one. Hence my nerdy comment that it should be a nice winding mechanical movement, more pleasing to the eye and the show, and also, more valuable and meaningful...

    MSTR made the watch for the PlayStation store with a seiko quartz movement that is now being sold on eBay for $6000 😂 its a very close representation except in the game the bezel is coin while the one made by MSTR and worn on the show has a smooth bezel.
    I found an extremely similar one made by Invicta vintage 37071 with a white dial sold on jomashop on sale for $49.99 retail $595
    Or just buy an Etsy one for $70 🤣
    Other watches that has a similar look are:
    Fortis classic second automatic $2195
    Mont Blanc 1858 small second special edition €3220
    Idc big pilot heritage watch 48 €15,200
    Patek Philippe calatrava pilot travel time 42,000 Swiss francs
    Archimede large 45mm pilots watch €940
    I’m going to get the invicta cuz I like the white dial better and not because I’m cheap and I don’t feel like spending more than $50 on a prop watch 🤣

  • @rangerone007
    @rangerone007 Год назад

    Hi, interesting vid as im about to make one of these watches.
    Id just like to say that Fliegers werent the first watches worn on the wrist. Soldiers wore pocket watches on their wrists first, then converted womens watches, 'wristlet watches' into their own by soldering lugs onto the sides and modifying the dials during world war 1. 'Flieger' is german for pilot and these were worn much later on during world war 2.
    Also another point is this watch has a smaller seconds dial right? then why has it got a central 'ticking' seconds hand aswell?
    I think the smaller one is a dummy printed dial. not actually working.
    Coin edge. was invented by Borgel. hence the common name for them is Borgel watches,. very common in later world war 1 watches. Nothing to do with diving im afraid. Diver watches do have notched bezels so they can be turned easily
    but not coin edges. its just for decoration mainly, the early Elgin A11s also had this type of case & it does unscrew, so it helps. but thats the only use for it.
    Great vid tho and please dont take my comments to be patronising. im a prop watch maker for films myself. worked on quite a few now with my military homage watches. Im making this one due to the fact that hardly anyone else has got it right.
    So thanks for this, it covered all i needed to know about the watch used in the series.

    10:36 not sure the sub dial is for seconds like you’d expect it to be as you can clearly see a seconds hand moving round the main dial. Don’t often see a watch with two set of seconds hands outside of chronographs, which clearly this watch isn’t. 13:09 watch the show, or play the game- both Joel’s brother AND Joel served in the military.
