Just want to really emphasise this is a very well made video. Teddy (and his team) took the time to have a shot for nearly every thing he discussed, which was often a different watch. Filming watches is hard so let's recognise this amazing effort and brilliant video-making. We saw 26 minutes but believe me when I say this must have taken 30+ hours to film and edit.
You are a DEALER, Teddy, NOT a reviewer; you ARE not because you CANNOT BE one, because that requires a minimum of objectivity, WHICH requires absencence of conflict of interest, WHICH you pretend not to understand much about. It makes it a disgusting thing, ethically, what you are involved in.
@@kaisoerfjord6794 I believe you are too hard on Teddy. I have learned a lot about watches from him--such as the watch terms mentioned in this video. I understand he is a dealer. He is taking the high road of educating the customer rather than the lower road of using high-pressure sales techniques. Why would he invest the time, expense and effort to make these videos if he didn't feel it was in his enlightened self-interest? I notice he brings together other watch experts and often discusses watch brands he doesn't sell. As with any source, we evaluate him and his information. In my opinion, he rates high marks as a source and his information is not only truthful but helpful to those like myself who want to learn more about watches.

Probably going to have to watch this again. Even at 26 min; it is short and to the point, thank you for that!!! But a TON of information. Just purchased my first of many watches from you last week. Feel like I have falling down a rabbit hole of new fun!!!
I wish I could give this video 3 thumbs up. I've wanted to learn watch terminology for a long time, and this video goes above and beyond to explain it. Thank you Teddy. Well done sir.

Welcome to the hobby! I'm a few months in and I found an older (June 2018) video Teddy did titled "Stop buying so many affordable watches" really helpful. His theme was the tempation to buy a number of watches in what is called the "affordable" range can get in the way of saving up for a more expensive watch you may really want that costs more. For me, that is the hardest part - the balance between "scratching the itch" and holding out for the more expensive watch you may really want. The terms "affordable" and "expensive" are, of course, subjective and only relevant in terms of your budget, etc. What matters is getting what you enjoy.

Great job putting together a comprehensive watch terminology video. You covered a lot of ground in 26 minutes and I think the pacing was great. One note about the tachymeter scale on a chronograph that many do not realize - it is useful for things other than determining the speed of a moving object. Another great use for it is in estimating how long a repetitive task will take. Say you work in manufacturing and the job of one worker is to assemble a specific part onto a widget. You want to know how many of these the person can do in an hour. If you use the chronograph to time how long it takes the person to assemble the part onto one widget, then the tachymeter scale will tell you how many they will do in an hour. With this information you can now estimate how many the worker would be able to do in an 8 hour shift. You could also estimate how long it would take them to do a certain number of them if the job was to deliver a specific quantity.

@@garyboyle695 even cheaper watches can make a chronometer grade movement all breitling does to the movement is decorate it and finish it slightly better but you already get the same movement in the Hamilton along with finishing that's near breitling level and also the Hamilton looks better so all your paying $3,200 extra for is the breitling name and the other things I listed above however most breitlings are good value for money especially compared to rolex but some breitlings like this one aren't worth it 😎👍

Great comprehensive video. A couple of things I noticed that could also be here: some watches have a 4th hand showing the week of the year. There’s a 1-52 scale usually at the outer edge of the dial. Also the numerals, hour markers, logo etc. can be either printed or applied. Most watches are also have luminova applied to their hands and/or markers.
Great Edu! I learned more. Two additional terms for future consideration are types of Luminescence on hands/numbers… and the unique Temperature complication on Ball Watch Roadmaster TMT with Celsius / Fahrenheit scales.

What an incredible resource. Nicely done. The only thing I can think of to add would have been defining what makes a 'chronometer' (COSC) and 'regulating' a watch and how that is measured typically in +/- 'spd'.
Thanks for the very informative video especially on those movement finishes! I'd appreciated if you can do a video on straps, bracelet, clasps and buckles types/terms and their differences, I just don't really understand when people start talking about endmill, solid end links, push-button deployant, tang buckle etc....

Very clear and thorough presentation. Thanks for going through these basic terms. You talk pretty fast, but still accurate and very useful. Having your explanation accompanied by video is exceedingly valuable.
Great video. I'm a watchmaker, and the only thing I could think to add was that we generally call the case of the watch (the part with the lugs that holds everything) the middle case. I don't know why. I mean, you could say the bezel is the upper and caseback is the lower, so the big chunk with the lugs is the middle. Usually when we refer to a case, we're talking about all 3 parts together.
Hey Teddy, thank you so much for such an insightful video 🤩🤩 I was wondering if you could make another one describing different types of watches and maybe their histories such as diver, pilot and etc.
The speed at which you talk has improved dramatically from some of your older videos where you're talking like a rap god.

I didn’t know beforehand but I needed to see this video. As always thanks for the great content!
Great comprehensive video. A couple of things I noticed that could also be here: some watches have a 4th hand showing the week of the year. There’s a 1-52 scale usually at the outer edge of the dial. Also the numerals, hour markers, logo etc. can be either printed or applied. Most watches are also have luminova applied to their hands and/or markers.
I appreciate a lot for this video Teddy. This is a very useful and easy to understand!!!!. A time well invested.
Wow!! Great content.. sure learned quite a bit... Thanks for your presentation.
Very educational!
The Lange repeater sounds absolutely delightful!
Excellent primer! Thanks for catching us up!
Great Edu! I learned more. Two additional terms for future consideration are types of Luminescence on hands/numbers… and the unique Temperature complication on Ball Watch Roadmaster TMT with Celsius / Fahrenheit scales.
Very informative and useful, you cover all the bases a watch aficionado needs to know and be aware of - well done, excellent presentation.
You are a DEALER, Teddy, NOT a reviewer; you ARE not because you CANNOT BE one, because that requires a minimum of objectivity, WHICH requires absencence of conflict of interest, WHICH you pretend not to understand much about. It makes it a disgusting thing, ethically, what you are involved in.
What an incredible resource. Nicely done. The only thing I can think of to add would have been defining what makes a 'chronometer' (COSC) and 'regulating' a watch and how that is measured typically in +/- 'spd'.
Great video, thanks for taking the time and energy to educate us newbie watch people….
Thank you. The detail is amazing. I am new to this, but I am hooked.
I would like to add that tachymeter is quite useful when you estimate production or other capacities. E.g. 15 second cycle time means 250 cycles/hour.
Great vid. Especially on watch movement mechanics. Been looking for a good vid on this for a while.
This video is awesome. Very informative, beautiful watches , great narration! Thank you.
I never knew about the minute repeater with the chimes and bells. 😍
Thanks so much Teddy - great content - loved the French terms - most were new to me
Thanks for the very informative video especially on those movement finishes!
I'd appreciated if you can do a video on straps, bracelet, clasps and buckles types/terms and their differences, I just don't really understand when people start talking about endmill, solid end links, push-button deployant, tang buckle etc....

Great information, thank you! Just getting started in learning more about watches with a desire to get into collecting / re-selling as a hobby.
A nice video, and on my birthday! Love your content Teddy!... Keep up the good work
Thank you for your videos. I’ve had a starting interest in watches for the last year, but your videos have turned me into a watch-fanatic. You just makes it so fun and open for someone who’s just getting into watches!

Thank you Teddy, very helpful video to fill in the gaps!
I like the watch I got from MAMACOO. That rubber strap combo looks really cool! Been wearing it since last year and love every minute of it.
Fantastic! Thanks for putting this together. It was very informative.
Very clear and thorough presentation. Thanks for going through these basic terms. You talk pretty fast, but still accurate and very useful. Having your explanation accompanied by video is exceedingly valuable.
Very strong video here Teddy and I learned some good stuff even though I am an enthusiast!
Well done!
Great that you’ve taken the time to educate on the basics .
I love revisiting this video on occasion!
Great video. I'm a watchmaker, and the only thing I could think to add was that we generally call the case of the watch (the part with the lugs that holds everything) the middle case. I don't know why. I mean, you could say the bezel is the upper and caseback is the lower, so the big chunk with the lugs is the middle. Usually when we refer to a case, we're talking about all 3 parts together.
Hey Teddy, thank you so much for such an insightful video 🤩🤩 I was wondering if you could make another one describing different types of watches and maybe their histories such as diver, pilot and etc.
Another great video ! Thanks Teddy. I'm new to the collector level of watch world and truly needed this info 😊👍
There are so many gorgeous watches in this video.
Badass video. Not too long got the point accross evertime. Watched it from start to finish good job Teddy and CREW
