I’m a grey haired old man and I spotted a retro Casio calculator watch from 30 yards at the gas station today. It’s like time stood still and I was in another dimension.
Brilliant. I collect gas stations. I can spot one a mile away. It's a problem I have.
Interesting how we can see something that isn't there. You wrote "...from 30 yards at the gas station...". I initially read "...from 30 years ago at the gas station...".
LOL
@@CURVEDGLASS123😂
Me too. Couldn’t resist buying the gallon of oil just to get the free Casio that came with it. Wouldn’t be so bad except I don’t even own a car…
This was a hilarious but very true. I actually gave up an actual addiction and it has allowed me to own the watches that I had been wanting for a very long time and now have an amazing collection. Coming up on 3 and a half years of sobriety in April 🙏🏻 I appreciate this video TGV!!!
Stay strong my friend! 🙏🙏 that is awesome and thank you.
Best regards,
TGV
I work as a therapist, just letting you know, first session is free for watch enthusiast only!
😂😂😂😂😂
But you must bring you collection to talk about it!
That's how you people get us...
You sir are a saint
The rapist ?
Perfect timing, I keep telling myself I'm going to consolidate - who needs this many watches - just stick to a few favorites - buy a 4 watch box and call it a day. Told my wife this morning I'm done, but I've talked myself out of it by lunch time...
I told myself I'm not a collector... N now I have 10... N still looking for the next numeral watch, square watches with concentric dials, pilot watches, etc... 😅
My girl is still divided between my watch problem and Rubik cube’s collection. Well at least I don’t smell like women perfume when I’m back from work
😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂, love uour humour I'm the same
Same here..😂😂😂
When satire is not satire 😂
Never a truer word said in jest, jumps to mind.
I’m glad you committed all the way through and this wasn’t just an intro. Bravo 👏
😔 I notice watches on people walking by like a dog spots a squirrel. I too have a problem. 😔
As long as you don't bite or hump any strangers, you should be all good.
Insert “Girl, same.” Meme here.
😂😂😂😂 , very good , I hear you , I feel your pain .... I'm the exact same ..class
Is that wrong? It is weird? I say NO
Today, I laid my Hamilton railroad grade pocket watch into the coffin of my best friend. His last name was Hamilton and he had admired the old watch. I regret not just giving it to him years ago for him to enjoy. I truly think I would have gotten more joy from him getting the joy from it.
What a lovely thing to have done for your best friend....
You will always remember ❤️
yeah now he's dead the watch is useless to him now
@@raoulmoat6762 oh, you're such a nice person indeed
The Humor, The Truth, The Love. 🤣
I think this is the greatest RUclips video of all time. Change my mind.
😂😂💯💯💯
They journey doesnt end till the clock stops ticking!
Well put!
But I have a G-Shock!
Solar powered 😏😏
🤣🤣@@jtpalooki7757
Grand Seiko: “Hold my spring drive”
This is quite possibly the best, funniest video you’ve ever made. Well done, sir!
😂😂😂 Tristano, you have outdone yourself! This has to be your funniest video to date. Thank you!
totally agree with you
Ditto!
yes, this is absolutely Hilarious,!
Outstanding work! Scripting, acting, humour, cinematography.... nailed it 👍
Bravo TGV! Admitting you have a problem is the first step! I'm Alex and I have a watch addiction.
I don't have an addiction, I'm a functional watch enthusiast. 😆
I'm also Alex and I have a watch collection.
Watches Rock ! Lost my first marriage over them 🎉🎉
I knew I had a problem when I found myself closing the bedroom door behind me, and staring into my watch box after aligning them all. Staring, and staring... so beautiful....
lmao! I thought I was the only weirdo who does this :)
@erajasadi7667 ... in the morning, I then check who's been mechanically misbehaving overnight and which one I'll take out for the day... :)
I first realized I had a problem when my girlfriend told me, "But why do you have so many watches, they all look the same?"
Ha ha same here mate
The only answer to this is “Why does she have so many make up stuff all of them have same stuff in them or jewellery most of them look same too.” I said this and she broke up with me :(
Too real 😂
That’s a classic. Watch blindness. It’s curable though. 😎
The girlfriend is the problem.
One of my favorite videos you’ve ever made! It made me go to my watch box and throw on my 1980’s Tag Heuer 1000 full lume. The addiction continues….
Awesome piece I also have a Transitional period Tag Heuer Night diver 989 113 thin case "Monnin" with a few other Heuer diver and love it
The perfect video to watch on slow Saturday afternoon with my coffee and a new watch on my wrist.
I don't think of watch collecting as an addiction.
I think of it as a hobby ⌚
Collecting airguns is my other good hobby.
I’m a lume addict, and Marc is my number one dealer.
Kinky...but I won't shame you friend.
@@Peanutdenver I appreciate that
This video is like when a hard hitting documentary starts like a comedy. In the end, I too accepted the Inconvenient Truth
The calculator watch got me hooked when I learned you could enter 58008 and show your buddy upside down! 🤣
Absolutely side-splittingly brilliant satire, Tristano! I laughed more times than I can count watching this. You've earned yourself a spot on the Mt. Rushmore of watch comedy. Bravo!
Ditto
Brilliant video and scarily relatable. When I came home with a Tudor Heritage Black Bay smiling at my wrist my wife said I’ve not seen you smile in 10 years. That was my 10 year wedding anniversary present to myself!!! 😂
I've just shared this FANTASTIC video with all my watch enthusiast working colleagues.
Thanks TUG!!!
We all love your content!!!!
This made me cry. I feel less alone now. Thank you TGV for being so strong and admitting what most could not
I've been a watch addict for nearly 10 years myself. Interestingly enough, this year, I've been able to stop. I have yet to buy a watch this year and have no intention of doing so. I have the money to spend, too. It's funny how that is, at least for me. Keep posting, my friend. You're a great asset to the watch community.
It's only March 21st, let's talk in December, just before Christmas.
Sadly I thought that too, but it'll grab you again from out of nowhere, you wait and see.
This is total clickbait, and I am HERE FOR IT! TGV never misses, but this is top form. Bravo!
My wife always made fun of me, and I have "only" 4
low budget watches under 100 Euro each. Now she is so in love with her small sporty Casio with step tracker! 🙂
I made the mistake of watching this video with my wife who let out a long sigh and said “that is totally you.”
@@tacticaltruth8118 Get divorced and the world is yours ...Why suffer all your life? Better single and happy, and no one put pressure on you or you need to hide your passion from non-enthusiastic people in life...Life is too short to compromise mate...
This is pure gold! I went to a restaurant in Nice, France and everyone there was dancing and having fun while all I did was look at all the watches they were wearing. I even dream about watches. I have too many. Every room in my house has something related to watches in it. I even quit my job so I can have more time for watches. It sure is a problem and I will definitely be contacting Hugo. Thank you TGV for bringing awareness to this matter and providing the necessary steps for those of us that need the help.
Telling time with class is important. So I collect watches, nah ! 😂😂😎
It's funny bc it's true.
Great video TGV
Hahaha! I do not know what I love more: The production value or just plain ole Hugo. Epic. Thanks, TGV.
Love Hugo!
The misaligned chapter ring insures that it is a genuine Seiko.
He called it a splendid madness, his addiction to horology. Truly, a masterstroke of passion.
TGV, you are so brave to come forward with your story! You inspire me to confront my inner demons and seek help for my addiction too. Thank you kind sir!!
You obviously have no sense of humor
Hands down
The greatest piece of Horological Cinematography in 2024🎉❤
I collect vintage watches. It is a hobby which requires (or it should) a long term strategy. At the moment I am the not understood genius in my family with my watch collection. But soon I will have an influential ally : my daughter. She is only two and a half, though...:)
Thanks for sharing. Was quite surprised to see you post this video!
It’s true Watch addiction could affect your personal life and other things but I told my self I have 5 Watches TGV and I called it a day..
1. Breitling Navitimer B01
2. Omega Prestige Deville
3. Breitling Chronomat Frecce Tri Colori Valjoux 7750
4. Anddddd Jaeger LeCoulter Ultra master Thin Moon phase✌🏼
And lastly my Atmos Clock😁
That it is for me to enjoy for life and Cherish forever ✌🏼
Ciao

You can’t put a price on time
Hugo the thesaurus smart 😂dinosaur 🦖🦖🦖🦖🦖🦖🦖lololhis hook really 😅hard to watch but hilarious true you my friend are a timepiece addict 😅😅😅⌚⌚⌚⌚⌚⌚⌚^^^and about the movement 😅😅don't get my started then the crying 😂😂😂bro you are the man said paul McCartney 😅😅great collection of awesome watches tag Huer chronograph n omega speedmaster hugo can fixit 😅😅😅😅seriously lololo😊happy Easter
Great storytelling. Nice ideal and wonderfully produced. Fantastic watch BTW.
I started collecting watches 30 years ago, it just started completely harmless with just one chronograph watch.
Today, it is a total mess with 70 + watches! 😲
And to make it even worse: I learned to become a watchmaker, have a small workshop, and now I am able to service and repair 'the mess' all by myself! 😱
😆😅🤣😂
The t-rex with glasses 😂. Great video and good cautionary tale. My husband and I bought our first nice watch each and we definitely have a rule that we’re not allowed to buy another one for a long time until we really figure out our preferences.
This video doesn't make any sense, such a thing cannot exist "watch addiction" keep looking at people's wrist 😅😅😅 I think this channel thought making a vide like this may get them high numbers 😅😅😅 but it's very very stupid idea. This guy is not real a made up story 😅
You've crossed into a new dimension where the intros ARE the videos.
OK OK you got me! I put this video off thinking it would be a click-bait-unsubscribe deal. Sorry for being so wrong. Actually quite funny. Thanks.
its my father his fault he put me on this stuff and now i am hooked yes i am a addict for live always telling myself this is the last time just one more hit its hard
I was confidently managing... Then the idea, that I could retire quartz watches when the batteries ran down. Thus creating watch box vacancies. I'm now debating the diabolical logic of such a policy.
😂 this video is gonna turn in to a classic for watch lovers ! aaamaziing TGV you made me start my saturday very well!
My friend has this problem, he's probably reading this comment!
He's still in the denial stage of his addiction. With God's help and the support of a good therapist he'll finally be free of his demons and find salvation 🙏 Praise be to the baby Casio, God Tier 😉
acknowledging that you have a problem is the first step towards recovery. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Well done and great video.
oh my gosh guys, this is heartbreaking! just goes to show that someone can seem on top of the world, but behind the mask is a world of chaos and suffering. you're in my prayers. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
this is extraordinarily good work TGV.
we can all relate to these emotions 🤓
Folk are laughing, but I actually think this is quite a serious problem for a lot of people. The things you have said are true. i’m spending more money on watches than I ever spent on prostitutes
Can't wait to watch this! Thanks, TGV. Hope you have a fantastic weekend and St Patrick's Day! Onward and upward, my friend!
T.G.V my friend, did you hear the latest news???
Omega has just released a new Speedometer Professional… with a white dial 😱
This is my favorite video you have ever done 🤣
damn I wanted the black carrera so bad as soon as I saw it but cant justify spending 6k on TH although I am seriously thinking on getting the speedmaster white dial😂
Good evening TGV, what a cineastic masterpiece! 👍👍👍And sure, Hugo can fix it😄😄😉Have a great evening! Best regards!
haha, thank you Heiko! Have a great evening too! Chin chin my friend 😎🥂
T.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣grand Seiko being better than Swiss watches is a serious question though
The answer lies in the parallel, is Lexus better than the German cars?
The more you know... PSA brought to you by TGV 😜
I told you all not to get into watches, but did anybody listen?
This needs to be expanded into a Netflix documentary. I foresee an Oscar.
😂seriously!!!!?????i can relate to the internet back n fourth exhange of opinions n likes dislikes 😅soo true 😊
Brilliant my friend you hit the nail on it head.
I have an OP and a Datejust.. But I still bought an Explorer 1 for no other reason other than it was available. Please help me
absolutely great video which definitely speaks for me and everyone who has this addiction..thank you for all the amazing content 🙌
I think I'm up to about 170 now! 😬 And i started collecting only recently in Fall 2018. 🙄
I haven’t seen a watch related video this entertaining since .. I can’t remember 😂 brilliant stuff !
I feel your pain...I know what you're talking about...you're not alone✌🏻💯😂
This has got to be one of your best videos. Great job and great fun!
Holy shit T.G.V.❤.you are creative......make.a whole movie.Horology
i love this not so serious videos, thank you!
I'm still in my watch infancy & you got me into this mess TGV but I forgive you.
This is absolutely ingenious TGV!!! 👏🙏🤣 Your knowledge, appreciation, passion and production is unmatched on RUclips!!! 🙏
I’d rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy 😂
Thanks and as always Best Regards!
I'm way too stoned to understand what this is. Are you ok, TGV?
Too stoned even for the dinosaur doctor?
Watch yourself.
I have to wait till my wife goes out to watch your vids, I judge men with smart watches.
I love your sense of humour, priceless. I share your illness, and I'm proud to be able to function in a digital world with an analogue addiction. Thank you for your work.
Hilarious and painfully true! Do you get a free watch with the lobotomy?
The TH “Glassbox”. Yes! Sadly will not be my last purchase. .
Solar radio controlled is all I'm interested in these days. I don't know what went wrong with me.
Omgosh the onlyfans reference made almost choke badly on my apple pie. 🥧
If seiko had fixed those alignment issues 😂⌚⌚⌚🦖💭💭💭💭😅😂^^😊
Hugo will have to buy a lot of fava beans and a some nice chianti !
Pure class
I keep looking AT my doctors date just green Roman numerals
Oscars season. And the award for best dramatic performance by a male goes to…
I know I have a problem. I can stop any time. I just don't want to.
The Watchers have been around since Biblical Times…..
Almost believable until Mr Hugo showed up😅😅
Jeff McMahon is starting to look quite in control of things. This TGV is on another level 😅
simply put-your channel is the greatest!!!!!
Collecting mechanical and automatic watches is something I’ve just got into the past couple of years. I have probably 20 different gshocks and many seiko’s , luminox , Bulova’s and Casio’s but they are All quartz and know I don’t care for quartz movement or digital watches like the gshocks at all. I gave all my watches to my son he likes the quartz and digital watches. Now I just buy and wear mechanical and automatic watches. It actually makes me feel good to hear the ticking and see the second hand sweep across instead of the annoying jerking movement of a quartz. I have an addiction for mechanical and automatic watches preferably military field watches and divers. It hasn’t gone over big with the wife because mechanical and automatics are considerably more expensive than quartz. The Rolex explorer I purchased cost more than all the watches that I gave to my son. I tried to tell my wife that that Rolex is probably one of the cheapest Rolex you can buy . That didn’t go over at all lol. My watch collection in the past probably 3 years has grown to about 12 watches and sadly I’m not allowed to purchase any more or else lol . I just saw a Marathon GSAR automatic for I believe in the $1800 dollar range and I thought that was a reasonable price for a well built automatic watch but my wife doesn’t feel the same lol. Guess she’s going to get mad and I’m going to find what or else means😳lol. Hope you have a blessed day . 👍🏻👍🏻
This has to be one of, if not the best, video you've put out 😂 I love it thank you for making this!
Really entertaining, congratulations! Keep up the great work! Thank you for posting.
“Better than an Omega Speedmaster…”
How DARE you!
“… automatic “
That’s fair
🤣🤣🤣👏👏👏
Thank you,
Best regards,
TGV
Great satire and definitely a new way to introduce your latest watch desire. TGV you are a great actor, maybe you can be put up for an Oscar for leading man in a satirical short video. Carry On and be cool.
