I Sold My Tudor To Buy A Tissot? - Their Best Mechanical Chronograph EVER: The Janeiro 37mm Returns!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 сен 2024
- Today is perhaps my most important unboxing of the year, featuring a re-buy almost a decade in the making, of the best Tissot ever produced. But what makes this watch so unique and important? In this video I share an exciting reveal and exploration of a chronograph that was decades ahead of recent trends in watch design, marketing, size, and horological significance. Not only that, it honors a legacy that helped lay the foundation for the most iconic watch of all time-the Omega Speedmaster. Join me for a quintessentially Urban Gentry episode featuring an unboxing of the Tissot Janeiro COSC certified, manual wind chronograph (ref. Z199) that is essential viewing for Tissot fans, Omega diehards, chronograph lovers, and true watch enthusiasts. What do you think about the watches in this video? Please share in the comments.

You know Tudor is to Rolex as Tissot is to Omega. It was Omegas baby sister brand back in the 40s 50d and 60s..ironic eh?
GENIUS observation. Thank you, pinned in your honour.
Best regards,
TGV
I had no idea about that connection, very interesting Curtis
Omega bought Tissot in the 30s to use their patend etc.
Tanks…love your videos,.. watch as many as I can…I learn a lot as well..the Vintage world is so cool and different from the new stuff..my favorite is my 55’ Omega Constellation 18K bumper Auto
Very true.The tissot and omega bumper movements is a good example.
Omg this is a perfect illustration of how your channel has evolved TGV. We're back to the old OG part time YouTubing and primary interest in watches but we've also changed a lot after our time away from the Janeiro. We've become so much more refined. When I see this watch, I remember you battling your health yet working hard to both collect watches and help us all become better versions of ourselves. That still inspires me today. Congratulations T!
🙌🙌🙌🙏🙏🙏 Thank you so much,
Best regards,
TGV
That dial is FANTASTIC. Love busy watches and the color combination really pops.
Still remember those days you were making coffee with the Janeiro and SARB033 and Squale 1521 50 Atmos was hanging around. Time flies but classics remain. 😊
Such a pleasure to watch. Production values just keep getting better and better. Your channel is the Bugatti of horology.
My, my my…once again, you manage to slip in more than a minor history lesson (hella thought-provoking, too - I was nodding my head more than a little), *then* make your big reveal, which I love, and truly agree was worth letting go of the Tudor for. One *very* minor quibble would be your take on the usefulness of the Telemeter scale: from an outdoorsperson's perspective, it can come in handy when dealing with an impromptu, incoming thunderstorm: gauging distance and direction. (On the cheaper end, this is why I love my 90s-era Seiko 7T32-9000 chronograph, which also nails that vintage-chrono vibe surprisingly well. Great presentation, once again!
I remember this Tissot. I also remember those early videos. You've come a long way. And you've been able to keep everything as genuine as those first videos. Great vid as always.
Being a Tissot enthusiast for many years (my first nice watch was also a PRS 200) I really enjoyed this video. Congratulations for the new acquisition! This timepiece is amazing!
I bought a Janero because of TGV! A beautiful watch,stunning.
I don't know how you could ever sell it!
You have such an amazing story telling , I love the fact you incorporate history. What a great looking watch these are the Tissot I like , gold gilt on a black dial reminds me of my Tudor BB, what a fantastic combination and the onion crown to me makes winding a watch easier and again reminds me of my 1916 trench watch, and to finish off a lovely piece the strap is made for that dial great combo, will have a look at the company who made the strap. The Tudor was a good sacrifice esp with you having the Rolex day date
I remember that one. I think I left a bitter comment on the video in which you announced you’ve sold it! 😂
What a beauty! Looks way better than the Tudor that left the building like Elvis!
Got my first Swiss watch last year and it was the Tissot Visodate the pre Powermatic 80 model a nice addition to my modest collection.
Yet again, TGV plucks a delicious peach from the horological tree!
Superb content and presentation! The passion and dedication that goes into these videos (documentaries) is outstanding!
Tissot are making some gorgeous chronographs lately. I especially like the 1973 Heritage (white dial, rally strap). Not quite as classy as the Janiero, but I love its smart sporty aesthetic.
Tissot's back catalogue really is something - I'd be willing to pay a premium for some reissues that don't use plastic movements, maybe they'll do a true-to-size version of their 70s chrono soon?
Now I learned GHW is Geoffrey Hugh Walford. Careful what you put out on the interwebs, people can find out everything. Great episode!
What a stunning chronograph! I'd trade a Date-Day for that one anytime! Also, well done in working the phrase "sine qua non" so seemlessly into your commentary! P. G. Wodehouse would be proud!
My first acquisition of 2024 - TGV’s collaboration with Squale 60th anniversary #37/100 & in the honeymoon phase 🎉❤. That feeling you show us when looking down at your watch and speak Italian… that’s how I feel about my new piece! Thank you TGV!
Wow! Indubbiamente uno dei tuoi migliori video, semplicemente un capolavoro! Comprendo e condivido pienamente la scelta di sacrificare il Tudor, questo Tissot è un importante un pezzo di storia che dà infinito piacere da mettere al polso!
I’m glad you didn’t get rid of your Tudor Submariner, that is the epitome of tool watch. Also, I’ve been dying for you to make a new video on how you make coffee 😂
Like the before pictures way more than the newer ones. They r way more CLASS.
Selling a Tudor for a Tissot…You’re insane TGV and I Love it!!!!! 😅😂
That is a wonderful dial. Definitely a worthy trade. Especially when considering the rarity and the Rolex day-date in your collection (I don't pine after a lot of Rolexes, but I'd happily add that linen dial to my collection).
Another fantastic video TGV. Loved the historical content too. Can’t wait for you to revisit Panerai for the follow up 🤞🏼
I still own my Janeiro, which I've bought after watching your video about it :) Love it and would never sell it.
Great to see you back in the comments again, I hope you have been well, thank you.
Best regards,
TGV
It's such a fascinating watch its so you and anyone that has been watching you for years thinks yeah sounds about right. Great history lesson as always see you next time.
The way you edit and film is top notch!
Tissot also being my first mechanical watch, so the brand gets a lot of love from me. A very cool watch, possibly the best Tissot.
👏👏👏 Love hearing it, thank you.
Best regards,
TGV
Hey Tristano,
In my books, this is a inspired trade. The Tissot has quite a bit of character and I truly believe it matches your personality and interests.
Also, I don't think your Bialetti Moka pot video is cringe 😅 It's a honest video about a passion of yours. Plus you learn by doing!
Btw, I was drinking a cup of Lavazza Oro while watching your video., but I brewed it in my french press 😬
O&U! Take care!
Lovely - and you’ve given me a great idea for a new strap for my Dan Henry 1939 :)
Another Friday evening with TGV...it's a thing folks!
The futurist painting of the cockpit is by Tullio Crali. Italian painter.
Well spotted, are you a fan of his too?
Thank you,
Best regards,
TGV
I loved watching this review. Been wondering about Tissot in general as I read so much negatives about it these days. I have an old Tissot Seamaster from 1965, never serviced and still works fine! Got it from my father and I wonder about the status of this brand back then. Perhaps there is much more to find out?
Another really interesting and informative video. 👌
Brilliant content as ever. Thank you. CM.
Happy birthday!
I haven't bought a watch in 2 years, and I just bought the Longines Heritage Classic Black Sector dial.
I just have to get the bracelet adjusted so I can let the honeymoon begin!
It takes the tiniest of screw drivers 😅
Thank you my friend. That Longines is pure class!!!! Congrats A spoiler alert for the next video, I got this one for the Janeiro:
holbensfinewatchbands.com/collections/metal/products/forstner-komfit-jb-wide-straight-ends-stainless-steel-mesh-watch-bracelet
I have never spent that much on a bracelet so I am going to be very critical. Stay tuned. If might be just the ticket for your Longines?
Best regards,
TGV
My first non-digital watch was also a Tissot quartz chrono.
Excellent video...I feel that I have just watched a movie, with some watch information. I'm glad that you like your Tissot, for the second time.
Looks like a reconciliation between TGV and Tissot is inbound 😊
Great review as always! Nice reference to that first video!😊
I love that you love this watch. ❤
Best enthusiast channel.
And I thought it was going to be a review of the brand new 40 mm Tissot pr516 chronograph 😢
Maybe the visual on your channel got me excited 😮
Well, I was considering ii, but as the latter half of this video demonstrates, without the original 33.3s, there would not have been any PR516 or even the Omega Speedy, another reason why I decided to cover this one instead, a far more important era and part of that story that everyone tends to ignore. thank you and enjoy!
Best regards,
TGV
@@theurbangentry Thanks TGV, I have followed your channel from day one. I have Also bought watches after your reviews, much to my Wife’s dismay. Keep up the great work ,and looking forward to an exciting 2024.
I need the time machine.. I want back to 90s..
That is the most beautiful chronograph I’ve ever seen!! 🤌🏿
I must be an original gentry, because it really doesn’t feel like that long ago that you bought this the first time.
Wow, full circle! I remember how in Love you were with it the first time and I
was surprised when it left.
Good episode
I find this dial hard to read. But then all I need is the time and date in a less cluttered format
Move the vid, which (again) is about so much more than watches. Just wonder how a pilot could have been able to read / use all the little numbers and hands (all in the same ‘weak’ colour) in a vibrating cockpit.
Well if the Tissot Janeiro is so great then why isn't there a Tissot Fevereiro then, huh? HUH?
I rest my case.
I have the new Tissot PR516 in my shopping cart and trying to sell a watch before I buy. One of my two Seiko Solar Speedtimers has to go!
These are so much more than “watch videos”. They are mini documentaries, and I truly appreciate them. What a great job sir. Cheers 🍻
I think you are quickly becoming my favourite watch RUclipsr. Every watch has a story and you carry that message perfectly.
My goodness TGV selling your Tudor to buy a tissot. That’s got to be the greatest power move I’ve ever seen. You’re a mad man I tell you. Cheers😎
Nothing wrong with a higher end Tissot. Im a solid fan of Tissot and Seiko both for good quality at a good price and the fact that my wife wont kill me for buying a new watch in their price points. I go buy a Tudor, Omega or NOMOS for 5-7k USD, im sleeping on the couch for a year.
Fascinating story. Thank you for shedding some light on this rather unknown (to me at least) watch. BTW thanks to you I am also going to get a new Spoleto strap for my watch collection! Do you partner with them? 😉
I much prefer the Tissot Janiero over the Tudor. I'm weary of the conservative styling of Tudor. The Janiero is a breath of fresh air after the Tudor blandness. It's bursting with detail and intricacy. Love it.
That's how you know TGV is a true watch enthusiast. Not affected by branding. Unlike some tasteless self proclaimed watch enthusiast who from brags about how much they are into watches but all they are willing to buy is from the R brand 😂
Whats wrong with that buddy? Unless ur a logo fanboy!
The Janeiro returns!!!! Hallelujah. I remember when you sold it. I said to myself that you would rebuy it. Alas here we are. Fantastic. I bought a 1969 Speedy in Paris with my wife. Then foolishly I decided I would rather have other watches more and sold it. Recently I bought another Speedy and feel like I am home once again. A very pleasant turn of events. Congratulations.
Take care,
Michael
No!! you sold your AP dress watch that you received as a present which you said you won’t sell and then bought tissot. What a snake move!
Congratulations, you've discovered that people are free to change their mind.
What AP dress watch? There was no AP in this video, did you confuse this with a different video or channel perhaps?
Enjoy the free content! 😀
Best regards,
TGV
This was such a great part of your collection!! I'm so glad it's back!!
Thank you!!!!
Best regards,
TGV
This guy is pure quality, every facet about him. Love this channel. Thanks for the upload and for teaching me about a new watch!
I really enjoy watches that stray from the usual suspects. Choices like this reflect the personality of the collector, and give the collection personality.
Every time I see a Meades clip I immediately want to go back and rewatch the whole series.
Taylorism - Fordism - Futurism - Fascism. All disturbingly closely linked.
Fab video and a great watch. More power to your elbow!
VERY true, close indeed. He is one of my heroes. I got his autobiography for xmas in fact.
His observations are so profound and clever, you can rewatch them a million times and still learn something new. Thank you and I'm glad to have you in the good Gentry!
Best regards,
TGV
Oh, I do love Hugo ❤ Now I’ve watched the whole video, fantastic TGV
That Tissot would look right at home on the wrist of Indiana Jones in the Club Obo Wan scene from Temple of Doom. What a nice piece and that strap fits it so well. Congrats!
Pure class 1930s aesthetics and another reminder of how tasteful and observing Dan Henry is with his 1939 Chronograph hommage. Without any doubt a very exciting and special genre but given the delicacy and expense for servicing also a challenging one. But hey, no Janeiro equals no Speedy? Count me in!
I can fully understand this. Excellent choice. Loved the video. 😎
Thank you my friend,
Best regards,
TGV
The quality of your video's is truly outstanding. Right at the very top of youtube entertainment. Top job. Thanks for all the hard work. John
Every watch you review is covered in such stunning detail and production value that it’s simply an honor to watch and learn from. Thanks TGV
Nice if you like overdone black and gilt..and reissued watches.
Indeed, especially the one that did it before anyone else by 30 years, crazy how ahead of its time this was.
Thank you,
Best regards,
TGV
Every now and then I will remember this tissot janeiro watch, and that TGV had it, and wonder how it ever left the collection. But seeing it back now has me feeling nostalgic. This is amazing. Well done.
Im assuming it cost MUCH more than the first time. I have also repurchased watches at VASTLY higher prices. It is not about the money. It’s about the passion. The feelings of euphoria. The return to glory.
I will never forget my Nona making me a coffee in her Bialetti in her apartment in Florence. I was 16 and it was, to this day, my fondest memory of her.
I started my channel last week and being a British-Italian myself, I honestly didn't know you were here. Jesus. What have I missed? :(
Hi TGV!
And back it is! I remember the old videos featuring this model. Congrats.
Let’s see how long it is going to stay this time… 😉
Best regards,
Claus
Sorry to see the Tudor Date-Day go... but I believe you made the right choice... I forgot you also had the Rolex Day-Date. Great video again bro. Thank you.
Congrats on your reunion with the lovely Janeiro. I always liked this one from way back when you showed it on your channel. Really wanted one too after seeing your video. I found one on eBay. But, got snipe outbidded in the final seconds as the auction was ending. Oh well..
Another captivating video TGV. Thoroughly entertaining and educational. Cheers sir.
I got a BB58 on the bracelet as s bonus from work this year. There is absolutely no way I would sell it! It's every bit as fine as my Rolexes.
Great choice! And, good lord, I need to up my game on video production….what a marvellous meander through history.
Exquisite TGV! You just inspired me to finally pull the trigger on the new PRS516. Have the 2023 Telemeter white dial-which you also inspired me to strap on. While not the Balboa, gorgeous nonetheless. Cheers! Onwards and Upwards!
A Tissot PRS 526 was my first swiss watch in 2010. Its funny that then, I knew I was getting a generic ETA2824 movement, but now they are becoming harder to comeby movements.
This was a very enjoyable video. I love the aesthetics of aviation in the 1930's. During the pandemic Porco Rosso became my most watched film.
Tissot couturier T035.614.11.031.00
Beast of a watch with super clean and legible display. Day date complication on a chrono. Only missing a minute track, but hey, who needs to time anything to the exact second anyway?
😁😁😁
It is indeed a very versatile and advanced mechanical chronograph watch for it's time. The "frustrating" thing about mechanical chronograph movements is that a quartz chronograph movement surpasses them both in terms of performance and functionality. As one who have been studying chronograph movements' functionality, I can say with full confidence that no chronograph movement be it mechanical or quartz will ever surpass the good old and reliable workhorse chronograph for pilots Seiko 7-T-92. OCFO. The frustration kicks in when you find out that the perfect chronograph for pilots of all times costs 150 bucks. Now I know that you own a Seiko chronograph for pilots equipped with a Seiko 7-T-62 movement that you call the Flighty, but it is inferior by far to the 7-T-92. I can defend my statement if you want me to..
I have 3 Tissots in my Collection, the PRX Powermatic 80 with blue Dial, than the PRX Chrono also blue and last but not least the Seastar Professional 600 with tourquoise Dial. I love them all very much. You get soo much Quality for the Money you pay, can them highly recommend. And am very satisfied with those watches.
Another work of art from TGV - not my kind of watch but as always a world class video (I would most certainly even watch you talking about dishwashers or whatever). FYI as a proud French, Laguiole is in the “Massif Central” region of France - how come you pronounce Laguiole so well by the way? Even in France half say it wrongly.
Very nice indeed! One of your prettiest purchases so far. And I’m glad it’s the Tudor Prince that you sold and not the much nicer (IMHO 🤷♂️) Submariner instead. Congratulazioni 😁
WOW! This watch face could have easily been used in the opening credits of the last original ST-Universe's series "Star Trek Enterprise", with its "vintage in the future" drawings and images, because it it is a perfect fit for a future's past!
BRAVISSIMO!
Amazing video and lovely watch! Sad to see the Tudor go but that's just the way things are.
Can I ask you something TGV? Where do you buy your pre-owned watches? I've been looking for a Date-Day Two Tone for a while now...
Basically unmatched video production, as always. Materialism, luxury brand consumerism, loquatiousness be darned. Darned?
Man, that "How To Make Better Coffee..." is awesome! Blackstrap Molasses though is an acquired taste. BTW, it's not faux patina in there--just gilt style dial.
Love the video TGV and congrats! I have to say I am looking forward to watching your mustache slowly growing out like your grandfather’s 🥸 (start buying some wax). Ha!
Love my Tissot seastar 1000 quartz black ceramic bezel ,which I bought in 2014 . I know certain parts are not made in Switzerland but non the less a well made great looking watch.
🍾 for this watch, great documentary also about this Tissot.
Nice looking watch but I prefer the actual version, specially the white version. It’s more balanced and has no date.
I have no problem with Tissot « new » direction at all, they know the market status and we not, right ?
97% people on earth are not like you. They want buying a good looking new watches with modern tech.
It is not a criticism of you who are in this 3%. You are just not interesting for watch manufacturers, they have to sell new watches to survive.
Maybe I’m wrong or not 😊
It really is a subjective thing horological collection. The Tissot is not my cup of tea at all. If anything I would have sold the gold Rolex DD and used the additional funds to buy more than the Tissot. But by all means enjoy your new watch TGV! Moreover, a geat video as always sir! Innovative, informative, classy! Very well done!
Great vid! Didn't expect a Tudor for a Tissot, but after watching this, I kinda get it.
Your twin should get some more screen time (hopefully), he adds a lot contextually, albeit quietly. Does he have a name?
To the last quarter of the vid, no person is ever bad for living in a certain country.
I believe that with what's going on right now, people may forget this.

What an amazing video!
Being from Rio my self I was always wondering why this Tissot is called Janeiro!
Thanks a lot!
Unfortunately the watch is too small for me, but I just purchased the new Tissot with Pulsometer bezel!
What an amazing video, part horology, part aviation history, one rarely gets this on most channels, high production values. And an amazing watch. Tissot and Swiss Made meant nothing to me as a boy. Had I known, I’d have bypassed my Pulsar Kinetic and gone straight for an automatic or windup. Thanks for the education.
funny because my only staying chronograph is indeed a vintage Tissot chrono from 1946, with the original ''321'' in rose gold😌👌
Dude, i freaking love your channel. Was really bummed when you left the Philly area. You'll always be my homey though. ;) Keep up the excellent work.
I do remember this the first time round. I like the recent reissue with similar looks though it's a much bigger watch with thankfully no plastic bits. Which is also true of the 1938 COSC chronometer reissue a watch I couldn't resist buying as soon I I saw that 2824 inside. The PRX may have been the best cash cow for Tissot for years but far from the best watch.
Great video! Wonderful watch. Tissot are an interesting brand. The replaceable newer movements might be a sad thing to hear about, but, we are watch enthusiasts, so predominantly we like the design of watches. Replacing movements is no deterrent from enjoying a beautiful watch, as servicing is hidden away from us anyway, we don't look over the shoulder of a stooped watchmaker tinkering away, very often it gets shipped out and then shipped back. I digress, what I mean to write is I don't see replacing entire movements becoming the norm. Many brands make movements that require skilled servicing, they have vested interests in maintaining the stream of skilled workers to fit this criteria. I believe brands like Tissot are great entries for new enthusiasts as they have strong marketing appeal for newer generations.
However, if one decides on buying Casios, Seiko's, Citizens, G-Shocks, then they are buying such an enormously good value for money watch, that the motive to buy another watch to create a collection should be purely for design, for fun, and for themselves and the merit of appealing to ones lifestyle. Bit of a waffle, but I don't think SWATCH are the sign of the end times, I hope at least. Big fan! Love the independent reviews.
This Tissot is beautiful, I also have a limited edition Tissot Navigator Worldtimer Z197 36mm watch from the 90s, these 90s reissues are really beautiful.
I don't mind Tissot. Rich history and solid watches. Don't like the Powermatic 80 though... This is such a beautiful watch! I like it when things come full circle. The past has much beauty if we are willing to look beyond the failings of yesteryear.
Any fan of the channel KNEW that Tudor Sub wasn't going anywhere, especially since you have the Rolex day date....
