    MIDO here in the USA is a hidden gem. I’m surprised I do not see them in more wrists around the office and work. This collection iteration is truly exquisite, elegant and yet very masculine.

    This level of content is astounding. Teddy, you continue to provide an elevated experience that is frankly too good for the platform on which you deliver. You give each watch, each brand, an honest critique and a respectful one. You treat your videos with a certain air of sophistication and elegance, while still making them democratic and accessible to all. It is no wonder that brands want to work with you, both the big and the smaller. Your channel really is something special and it is fitting to see you getting your due. Keep it up!

    For me Mido and Certina are both underrated. I have now over 1 year the Ocean Starr GMT... it's a awesome watch.
    Great video.

    The blue/red Ocean Star GMT was my first automatic watch I bought last year. It is such an underrated watch and so well built. I still find myself staring at it when I have it on because it is so eye catching and it keeps great time.

    My first Swiss made automatic Watch was a Mido Commander II and ever since I’ve had an unchallenged love for the brand. What he says is true, here in Mexico Mido is one of those status brands watch enthusiasts and non enthusiasts recognize. My grandfather had a gold Commander, my mom has a ladies version of it with a TINY automatic, hacking and hand winding movement (size of a quarter) and I have my own in stainless steel. It is a brand that transcends generations. I now own a Limited Edition Baroncelli with a BLUED hand. Truly an outstanding brand, so thank you Teddy.

  • @InGratitudeIam

    A well-done interview showcasing the Mido brand, Teddy. I particularly liked how you diplomatically touched on the size issue a few times. My first love is vintage watches and the CEO is right that, unbelievably, Mido was at the forefront of watch technology in the 1930s by a long shot. Ironically, those same 1930s, 1940s Multiforts were much smaller than today. Mido would probably benefit from having some smaller case size options in their Multifort collection. Thanks for raising the issue.

  • @zhicaofang2354
    @zhicaofang2354 Год назад +8

    I love my Mido Ocean Star. One of the best options for dive watch around $1,000 and probably the best diver's extension and bracelet for the price range. Their value-for-price has always been stunning. Two things I do want from them: more offerings on chronograph designs, and smaller dial options at 39-41mm for Ocean Star and Multifort Chronometer 1.

    Thanks for the interesting interview with the Mido CEO. Your reviews introduced me to the brand which is now one of my favorites! Already have an Ocean Star Titanium and Multifort; the Ocean Star GMT (blue or blue/red) is on the wish list. Also, thanks to this video, I became aware of the Commander Big Date “Day of the Dead” LE, and was able to grab one online.

  • @hugohernandez3651

    I have a vintage 71 Speedmaster-- which was my grail watch forever. I love my Mido Oceanstar so much that it makes it to my wrist a lot even though I have my speedmaster. :-) The Mido slide adjustment on the clasp is, hands-down, my favorite clasp/bracelet of all time. I'm always googling trying to find an aftermarket version of that clasp that could go on my speedy!

    Another amazing video Teddy! I bought the Ocean Star GMT (black/orange model) because of your video review of it. Mido is such an underrated brand in my opinion. Really want to add the Ocean Star Tribute to my collection as well. The only issue I have with my OSGMT is the lume. It dies really quickly, especially on the hands, which is where it's most important.

  • @Genegenedtb
    @Genegenedtb Год назад +38

    that Ocean Star GMT is just spectacular !!! I'd love one but I can't deal with 44mm. If Mido ever makes this in 39mm I'd be all over it.. great interview Teddy.

    • @777soul56
      @777soul56 Год назад +2

      I bought the limited offering ocean star gmt from hodinkee and it has the same proportions as the ocean star tribute with a 40.5 mm case maybe 1 mm thicker. It wears like a dream. It is more comfortable then the seiko spb143 63mas. Also the case is all finely brushed. If you can manage 40mm diver then I highly suggest it. I hope they stick to this formula and include an all brushed bracelet.

    • @Minntality
      @Minntality Год назад +1

      Ugh, couldn't agree more. Love the Ocean Star GMT but would love to see it in iterated between 39mm - 42mm. I love that they keep the count-up dive bezel on their GMT. Wish more brands would do this.

    I really like a lot of Mido's watches. The few I've seen in-person really look great. Going through their website, they give off-some "fashion brand" vibes due to the sheer number of variations and some of the color combos/designs. But they have some real solid picks in there!

    I own an ocean star tribute, which I absolutely love!! A bit on the smaller side for my wrist. Well anything below 42 starts to get a little bit smaller than I like. I I bought mine knowing very little about the brand only that they were under the SWatch group and that in Central America they had a huge Market. Just not the USA . So I took a shot just to have something a little bit different and man oh man what a fantastic watch. At some point I will definitely purchase a second one.

    I saw one of your videos talking about taking the time to research to really find what watch you want instead of impulsive buying. I did that and landed on Mido, found out they had a rich history and I’ve read nothing but praise for them. So I ended up purchasing the Commander ii chronometer, pretty interesting that they make some of the most precise chronometers in the industry.

    @777soul56 Год назад +2

    Hi this message is for Franz. I hope you read this comment. You (Mido) made a limited edition for hodinkee. That is an ocean star tribute gmt. Maybe you are planning regular production for these 40.5mm gmt? I believe this size gmt will be absolutely successful in North America. Especially enjoy the all finely brushed case and hope for a matching brushed bracelet! Also one critical area that many reviewers on RUclips point out is the ocean star as a diver needs more applications of lume. The hodinkee version seems like it has more lume but even still needs more. You have to compete with Seiko Prospex divers that has the industry standards for lume applications. I believe you could easily charge $100 more retail for stronger lume applications. I believe it will help to sell more units as weak lume on a diver can make a collector choose another option instead of the Ocean Star. I hope you as CEO read this message as a fan of Mido and can vouch for the quality especially of the case finishing is on par with Omega. A all brushed OS tribute GMT is special. I love the old Mido font as well how comfortable it is for 7¼ inch wrist. Thank you!

The symmetrical layout with the big date at 12 with thar perfectly proportioned rounded square face is stunning. An understated piece that has 80hrs of power, innovation with their anti-shock spring and anti-magnetic set up. A super cool outlier nailing it for design and packed with reliability. The quintessential understated heritage brand.

    I purchased a Mido Ocean Star GMT from an authorized dealer in Florence, Italy this spring. The watch is beautiful and I wore it proudly for several weeks after the purchase. I loved it then...not so much at the moment. The hour hand started running slow and would be several hours or more behind as the day progressed. The second and GMT hands remained faithful. I contacted Swatch Service in the USA and sent the watch in since it was under warranty. The watch was serviced but came back with the same issue. I had to send it back in again several months ago and I'm still waiting for it to be returned. The jury is out as to whether or not it will be serviced properly. At this point, the watch has been in service much longer than it was ever on my wrist. I am losing confidence in the watch and the brand at this point. YMMV

    Hey Teddy. Can you do a review on the Mido Multifort TV Big Date. It looks so cool but I need your expert review and opinion!😊

    No retailer in the UK seems to stock them and you can't buy directly from their website?I have wanted a Multifort for a while now but without success.

    Bruce - who cares what we think and how much it cost! Within seconds of your video starting it was obvious that you were smitten with it. Just a great video, because without realising it, you reminded us what it is all about! Thank you!
