My 2022 State Of The Watch Collection: Seiko, Rolex, G-shock, Omega, Accutron, Tudor, Squale & More

- Опубликовано: 6 фев 2025
- It's that time of year again for my annual State of the Collection (SOTC) update! In this final video for 2022, I share my current watch collection, discuss my favorite watches, why I love them so much, which pieces have stayed, and thoughts on how my perceptions and wearing habits have changed over this year. However, this SOTC is a little different from my videos in previous years. The number of watches I've had the honor and pleasure of co-designing continues to grow-almost into an entire watch collection of its own-so this year, for the first time I've decided to focus on the watches I've purchased myself and a few watches I've received as special occasion gifts from my loved ones. Why do these watches continue to be my "keepers" and which watches are potentially on the chopping block? How many strapmonster watches and tooltastic pieces remain in my collection? Join me for another classic Gentry episode and please share your current SOTC in the comments below!

"Gremlins Two the New Bunch" was a freaking art film. If you haven't seen it, be sure to. Hugo has always had impeccable taste.
YESSSSS, I visited the location (Clamp tower) in my "no more Rolex" video this year.
Thank you and so right, a wonderful sequel.
Best regards,
TGV
I thought Hugo would be into classic genre Godzilla movies ... ahhh the classics.
@@karlsenula9495 Maybe he's a bit too Nouveau Rex to appreciate the older classics. Either that or Godzilla is just way too much monster for him to handle.
@@skipinkoreaable ... lol 👍👍👍
I cannot imagine a better watch collection. Five stars plus. Brilliant work. You are the very best. Sublime choice combined with such great knowledge. Well done you.
16:39 "I'm talking about the Picard, decent Enterprise not the disastrous modern incarnations." You sir, are a man of impeccable taste and refinement.
I love the diversity of your collection, no snob vibes at all and I appreciate that. As an average collector they can't afford the more upscale stuff it is nice to see someone that appreciates it on all levels! #salute
I just got started getting into watches this year and your channel is a big reason why. Thank you for making me feel like I don't have to buy expensive or famous watches to be a true watch fan. I am still figuring out what I like and that seems to change fairly regularly. Keep up the awesome videos, I appreciate it!
Merry Christmas - Happy New Year,
I love your end of the year collection videos. They just fill the heart with watch joy and holiday spirit. Now, time to rewatch this one a couple more times while I play some Diablo.
Merry Christmas! Have an ace 2023! :)
Pure class, TGV!
Honestly, I had forgotten how much I enjoyed watching your video content at the end of a long day. It's stress relieving, informative and keeps my passion for watches and horology burning strong (not that it needs pursueding too much).
I look forward to your future content.
Cheers, James 🤓
Love your your Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman also
He's on the Eames it seems
So happy that the SOTC section is here with us)! Thanks for sharing, and have a great week ahead, Sir TGV!
Happy Holidays! Love your design on the Safari.
The one I'd been waiting for... and I wasn't disappointed. Compliments of the season to TGV and all who enjoy his videos.
I just watched this video after a good year and a half or two without checking your work. I'm happy to say it is worth watching you again. That's all for now. Cheers TGV.
So much variety and a very unique collection. The natural flow of placing down and progressing to the next watch made it look like art. That backdrop and all the watches on top could be a wallpaper.
Keep the Fortis! I remember years ago when you first reviewed it. I know how passionate you are about it and how important of a watch it is.
You're absolutely the best watch enthusiast on RUclips. I absolutely love the fact that you GENUINELY seem to enjoy your $20 Casios just as much as I'm sure you enjoy your $10000+ watches. You're a real ally to someone like me that is new to the hobby but would much like to get more into. Thank you, and have a wonderful new year!!!
OMG the Vintage Omega and especially the vintage AP , wow. Just the Best
👆👆Wow That's Definitely Good
I really appreciate you all for my subscribers for the love you guys have shown to me and for that I've decided to randomly select few of you to grab👆👆
The strap on the Seamaster is my favorite pairing. It works so, so well.
NICE! And I for one appreciated the honesty of the macros showing flaws. Thats the reality of vintage!
Daim, I love your war room. One of THE best watch channels out there. I'm so glad I subbed a year ago and haven't been disappointed.
If we could name , watch channel of the year . Wouldn’t be this one, because this one is best watch Chanel in history and therefore we should give the Urban Gentry award to the best watch channel of the year. A lot of love ❤ to all of you and to you Gentleman .
You need a CWC SBS dive watch, best timepiece ever made. Mine's a '94 and only loses about 3secs per year. Phenomenal.
👆👆Wow That's Definitely Good
I really appreciate you all for my subscribers for the love you guys have shown to me and for that I've decided to randomly select few of you to grab
From luxury like the blue/gold Sub to rich history like your AP and Seamaster, to cheap enthusiast sweet hearts like the WRs, then microbrands like Dan Henry, and all the quirky ones in between. Truly the collection of someone who just loves watches. Always so inspiring to see your SOTC TGV. Thank you from a viewer who didn't know he loved watches so much until the genuine brilliance of your channel. Much love, and happy holidays to you and yours!
Hugo tem razão 🤣🤣🤣
TGV, mais uma vez um vídeo primoroso.
Forte abraço aqui do Brasil 🇧🇷
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! This is my first Christmas as a watch-guy, so thank you for the education!
👆👆Wow That's Definitely Good

Finally, it's that time of the year again! I really looked forward to this.

Omg, that gold day-date is to die for! What a piece!
Great collection. Varied. That’s the hallmark of a collection. Divers, dress watches and classic lower priced models. This guy is true fan of timekeepers.
Your interest in puppetry adds to your well-rounded character and I appreciate it fully :)
Your STOC is now part of my festive calendar. Amazing collection. Wishing you a happy and healthy Christmas and New Year
👆👆Wow That's Definitely Good

You were the first RUclipsr who got me into watches and the knowledge about different models. Love the intro!
The best collection on RUclips, period! Congratulations to you on all your achievements.
Thank you John, you are very kind. Have a wonderful holiday season.
Best regards,
TGV

All the best to you and yours for 2023. Great show keep it coming.
That Cartier Santos have me salivating and to top it off the Bulova Accutron old version warm my heart. Great SOTC video. Looking forward to 2023.
Kinda strange how seeing other people's collections evokes gitty feeling, seeing how collections evolve and change. Not to mention just staring at gorgeous timepieces just seems to give me happiness. Little things in life I guess haha
It's been a pleasure following your channel this year TGV, you're my go-to for all things horology. Here's to an awesome 2023! 👌
I love how you show off how you're a real person with hobbies other than watches. You don't really see that on other channels
I always love a good State of Collection video. It is nice to watch someone just chat about their watches and why they enjoy them and what makes them special. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year ,TGV!
Since I’ve been home sick from work since Thursday this is exactly what I needed. Thanks for the video TGV and have a good Christmas!
Stupenda collezione. Stile e classe..
Solo che sento la mancanza di uno speedmaster...qualsiasi referenza!
Buone feste!!❤️
TGV, I discovered your channel in the early days of the pandemic. It was a positive development in a dark time. Thanks for producing such insightful videos. Best of the season to you.
You were so instrumental in my decision to start collecting watching. So stylish and a gentleman you are. I'm so glad your health has held out this year. I'll be keeping you and your wife in my prayers. Ciao Bene
Great video and very informative as always. I am looking to add a new watch to my collection, sort of a treat to mark being able to walk unaided again. This has given me many options to consider. Have an amazing Christmas. All my best.
Had to add that Ricoh, oh my, that is gorgeous.
Dave, what a wonderful surprise and honor! So great to hear from you sir. I hope this finds you and your family well. Have a great Christmas my friend. Next time I am in the Uk it would be great to have an event and meet you.
Best regards,
TGV
@@theurbangentry now that would be awesome. I am always watching, loving your content.
What a collection,,,,watching from France ; definitely the best watches channel on internet.
Cheers TGV, I bought a citizen nighthawk (blue angels version as I am from San Francisco and every year we would go to Fleet Week where the Blue Angels and other pilots fly overhead), and I love it. I admit I was not fond of the strap that the watch came on, but after putting on a ribbed nato I love it. Actually looks and feels like one of my best watches!
My dear TGV, I cannot possibly understand how could you even consider selling the FORTIS!!! It is the coolest of the bunch in my humble opinion. Thanks for all the good work, advice and inspiration. Kudos to good old Hugo. Happy Christmas and God bless
👆👆Wow That's Definitely Good
I really appreciate you all for my subscribers for the love you guys have shown to me and for that I've decided to randomly select few of you to grab👆👆
Loved the "Conformist" poster!
Good to know a watch afficionado also knows his cinema!
My favorite time of the year to check in on TGV. Merry Christmas and a Happy New year TGV and friends!
That AP is my favorite of your collection. Absolutely chuffed.
👆👆Wow That's Definitely Good

What a great collection! From $20 to $20k...merry Christmas to you and your entire family, TGV! God bless!
I love your collection.
I watched all of your videos. I mean really 'all' one by one.
so already knew what you have before watching this video.
It feels like a journey with you haha
Always a great day when TGV uploads! Great collection and Happy Holidays!
🙌🙌🙌 Thank you for such loyal and kind support my friend, it never goes unnoticed. All the very best to you and our family this holiday season.
See you in 2023!
Best regards,
TGV
Tristano you are my point of reference and inspiration as person first of all, watches, style, way of life, humility and courtesy. I would love to meet you in person. In the meantime, I wish you and your family a peaceful Christmas, along with all the friends on the channel. A big hug from Italy, you are always welcome. Many blessings to you ❤
Thank you so much my friend, lei é troppo gentile! I would love to have event in Italy one day. I was actually planning to move back, but then Covid happened. I had to change my plans, but I will be back, I miss Italy so much. I practice my Italian everyday and it's just a matter of time. It would be great to meet you too. Until then, chin chin 🥂😎 Buon Natale!
Best regards,
TGV
@@theurbangentry I would love that! If you organize anything, I’ll do whatever it takes to be there. I also practice English every day, are two wonderful languages, but Italian is more difficult :) Non ti preoccupare, even if you can’t be there, I’m sure you carry Italy in your heart! Un grande abbraccio, with every good wish!
I love your attention to detail TGV. You've helped me appreciate watches on a much more thoughtful level.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, you are a treasure to this space.
Long live TGV !!! ⌚️🕰⏱️
That was fun and interesting as well! Love your interest in accutron. Tuning fork technology is I think wonderful. Thanks for this video!
Glad to see Dan Henry mentioned. I Love my watch! All thanks to you!

Happy Holidays to you and yours TGV! I’m so glad to have found your channel this year. One of my favorites in all of RUclips.
I've been a fan of the channel since 2016, but I actually discovered Holbens straps by chance through an eBay store. For the money you can't beat their quality. I've got at least 5 of their straps on different watches throughout my collection, different lug widths, colors, patterns, they're always great. Happy holidays TGV!
Thank you for Sharing. By looking at your watch collection, You really are a true watch enthusiast
Hi TGV.! I remember back when you were reviewing the SARB017 Alpinist, probably around 45 thousand subscribers back then, I'm not sure, i must have watched evey video you ever did on that watch 😂👍.. It was going to be my first mechanical watch.. (I went with the SARW019 instead) you've come a long way since then! Good job! Great collection! Here's to a good 23' to you and your family! Thanks much for starting me on a fun hobby!
Thank you for a great 2022. Wishing you and the Urban Gentry continued success in 2023!
Pristine collection, showing the difference between an horology enthusiast and a watch nerd. :D Thank you for spoiling us with awesome quality content in 2022 too and looking forward to see the big hits coming up next year! Happy Holidays TGV, cheers!
👆👆Wow That's Definitely Good
I really appreciate you all for my subscribers for the love you guys have shown to me and for that I've decided to randomly select few of you to grab👆👆
My impression of your watches collection/style tastes are; lots of 80s love, watches from movies, meets Art Deco and vintage. I hope you add some more Omegas soon, that ck859 is perfect for the collection…
Thanks for taking the time out to post another video at this busy time of year, may I take this opportunity to wish you and your family a very happy Christmas, also thank you for brightening our days through out the year past. Keep up the good work and as for the 'enterprising' tree decorations they were blockbusters!
Literally been waiting all year for this!
Still, after six years, STILL love this channel. Happy holidays guvnah!
🙌🙌🙌
The makes it all worth it, thank you!
Best regards,
TGV
Fantastic trip TGV, I too went to Italy 🇮🇹 after 25 years and super emotional 🙏
Funny how time flies….eh! I can’t wait to c “The state of the collection 2023”. I love your X-Mas only AP dress watch.
Please don’t get rid of your fortis I love that one. I bought the squale gmt in black from Marc from watching your vids and truly enjoy them but I love seeing that fortis happy holidays
The 80% olive martini kept me watching from the start lol another great TGV video as always! Cheers!
Outstanding and fun collection!!! Really feel as if you’ve developed a connection with each of them and only buy and keep those you truly enjoy.
Have a Merry Christmas. The collection is pure class and you handled Hugo like a true gentleman.
That tree is boss level! When I saw the puzzle box I had a mini panic attack 😅😅😅
There is NOTHING better than watching Urban Gentry after a long, festive day with the family 🥂🥂
Great to see you still have Federico's Pepsi GMT. So nice to have mementos of a good friend.
I would love a 12h Navitimer. I once owned a Fortis watch with 24h setup and I could just not get used to it, as I switch watches quite often. I was never able to read the time by just glancing at the hands. I always had to read the numerals too.
My favorite video of the year! I had a blast learning more and more from your videos this year! Happy holidays!
An excellent wrap for the year. Cheers to 2022 - it was a vast improvement over the prior two years! Thanks for the many uplifting, educational, and enjoyable episodes this year, TGV. My friday routine wouldn't be the same without ya!
Been wearing the same EXP II for the last 6 months straight- you got me to oversee my safe Kings with this video.
Merry Xmas everyone.
The quality of TGV's videos always surprises me. What a talent.
Awesome intro, awesome christmas tree decorations... oh and some decent watches. See you next year!
Thank you for another years worth of videos, cheers!
Stunning collection of superb timepieces. I adore that Breitling, and the Hemel also.
That Limited space edition ISS Fortis is a true beauty . It's the kind of watch that if I would have seen it as a child, would have solidified a path I wanted to go down in life. It is unfortunate to hear you're contemplating moving on from it.
Thanks for that TGV. Seasons greetings to you. Wishing you and Hugo a merry Christmas.
Thank you, same to you! Merry Christmas!
Best regards,
TGV
Have a old Zodiac Aerospace Jet that is a 24 hr dial. Fun watch and definitely makes you look at the watch a bit longer in the afternoon to get the time.
Rad watch. Is it the black dial?
@@Orko99900 Cream dial. I love the black dial for sure
A handsome collection that is not only diverse, but thoughtfully curated. Definitely some aspirational pieces here for novice collectors like myself, and others I’m sure. Merry Christmas and all the best in the new year, TGV. Onwards and upwards!
What a great collection. Congrats! I hope you have a Merry Christmas & happy holidays. All the best to you for 2023!
Once again a excellent video!
That is a very well curated collection, pure class.
The story behind each piece makes them special.
See you in the new year!
Such a humble yet invaluable collection its refreshing to see
Humble? It’s stacked with Rolex you banger.
@@Hereward47 You're not getting my point.
What a great channel, what a great guy to have discovered.
Merry Christmas and the happiest of New Years,
I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again, king of the intros. Merry Christmas TGV and all.
TGV, your collection is superb, but the Xmas tree decorations are over the top. Grandissimo!!! Ciao
Love it ! I wish you the best for this 2023; and thank you for your videos...Happiness for your Family too in this holidays.
TGV, thanks so much for your outstanding content this past year. I have been entertained, educated and motivated to look at watch collecting on a more serious level, but still keeping it fun and exciting. Thanks again for a great 2022 and cheers to 2023!
So many watches, so little time! Wonderful collection TGV!
I love where the collection has evolved to! I have to say, having been watching The Urban Gentry since the early days, I would guess that if you sell that lovely Fortis Cosmonaute, you will regret it in the future, and being such a rare watch it won't be that easy to find another like it... Happy holidays, Tristano!
Always a treat TGV. Merry Christmas
your collection is wonderful! please don't let go of your FORTIS COSMO!! just a personal favorite and always good to see it ! THANK YOU for your great channel... every episode is so interesting. MERRY CHRISTMAS
Been waiting for this one! Have a wonderful Christmas and prosperous New Year! Cheers sir!
Thank you Steve, the same to you, all the very best to you and your family.
Onwards and upwards for 2023!
TGV
