It’s vulgar to talk about money, but I bought it for five. 😂
Never change TGV. Great collection of watches.
Best time of the year is when this video comes out.
I love seeing these from both knife and watch channels. Interesting to see them evolve over the years.
TGV, you are simply under-appreciated! That intro was hilarious and you always bring such great quality and enthusiasm to your videos. I heartily thank you for bringing consistent watch enthusiast content that is completely devoid of snobbery.
Thank you so much Jesse, that means the world to me.
Best regards,
TGV
Your annually SOTC videos just are my favourites!
I got into watches 3-4 years ago by watching your videos. How you talk about timepieces no matter what price point is simply aspiring.
The symbioses of pure aesthetic and history in watches is amazing.
I recently also started to care more about my edc. So I began wearing my grandfathers signet ring, carrying a lovely little pocketknife he gifted me as well and appreciate the value of a nice fountain pen.
And although I'm still 20, I love wearing a nice suit on the weekends.
Thank you TGV for guiding me into this hole hobby and for your role model as a real gentleman.
Best regards from southern Germany,
Lukas
I can’t be the only one who actually said “no!” Aloud when he said he sold the spitfire omega
awwwww
Adam Donnelly - You were not!! 😆
Ha ha! Me too! 😱
Dude my jaw dropped lmao
Yeah, I had to rewind it to make sure I heard that one correctly..
I only began my collection this year!
Bought a Seiko 5 back in March, bought the mirror dw5600bbma shortly after (currently am wearing it on 20mm JaysAndKays adapters and Armilla NATO-completely in love), my dad passed down his gorgeous Nivada Grenchen to me, I then sold my Seiko 5, bought a Casio a700w from the new vintage line, a couple straps and accessories later, and now I am planning to buy the new Lorier Hydra II in the future.
Thank you TGV for putting out your videos that have been a part of giving me such love for the hobby!
"come on darling it's moi!" hahahahaha! gimme my glass of Chardonnet quoi! OMG i'm dying...
@@Rontheactuary i don't talk to drunk people who can't make the effort to watch a video they comment on.
Was waiting for this one! Spent the last few days watching the old videos in anticipation. Perhaps my favourite TGV video series, alongside the EDC ones
My SOTC is just the one watch now! This channel is what got me into watches more and more a few years ago and inspired me to spend my budget in the very best way possible for my first proper watch! As soon as I bought it my brothers took my Orients and Seiko 5s but I’ve got my piece now :D thanks TGV 💪🏽
Loving watching these vids! I’m twelve and you have got me into this hobby. Thank you so much. The intros get better every single time...
Regards,
Alex
Absolutely no better way to be intoduced to the watch community. Always positive, always inclusive, with respect for time pieces of price, any movement, quartz or mechanical. Welcome.
Love the current collection, TGV. Thanks for sharing. Your in-video arguments with yourself are priceless. I think we've all been there.
Watches have always caught my eyes for the longest now. Seeing your love for watches me inspires me to start a watch collection in the future.
Hands down, favorite watch channel, Gentlemanly channel, TGV. Purchased my 1st automatic, SEIKO SRP637k1 aka Shrouded Monster/Baby Tuna and I am hooked on autos. Still love my quartzes, G-Shock's, Tag Hueuer Aquaracer & Pre-Tag Professional 1000, but there is something majestic about automatics. RESPECT!
TGV, your intros get funnier and funnier, so entertaining! I'm rocking my mission impossible Casio watching this right now. Cheers!
Wooooo! Haven’t even seen the video yet but I’ve been looking forward to this!
I hit the like button because I don't want Hugo turning up at my doorstep. 😆
When you uploaded your collection video last year I was sitting in the jungle in Costa Rica. I waited 3 hours for it to load on what little connection I had. Now that I’m back in England sitting on the sofa you know I’m going to watch instantly. 😂
@Matt B Thank you, I try to travel as much as I can. Life’s too short for the mundane (unless there’s a global pandemic) :)
@@user-bo5ff8sx5p Well, a pandemic is a good time to be in the jungle :)
@@varanid9 Any time is a good time to be in the jungle man haha
Super video. Awesome collection. I’m jealous.I’m always in awe of how you cherish a $300 watch as much as a $10,000 watch.A true lover of watches. You got your full mogo back. Thanks TGV. SEIKO IS KING !!!
That is what I love about you and your channel. Having the Rolex on the table right near the Casio. Lots of information and no pretention!
Stunning collection matey ! A GMT is what’s missing in my collection for sure!!! I’ll surely get get one in for review soon and like the rest of the reviews I do...... I’ll probably buy that!!!! Have a great weekend! MWC
That Fortis chronograph caught my eye the most - a true space watch. Wonderful collection TGV! Also, great intro as always!
Out of all watch channels I like yours much a lot. Just shows what watch collecting should be and not being a snob about expensive time pieces that just sits there without giving you any joy or being used. TGV keep the good work going and your knowledge of watches and history behind it is just amazing. Hugo is such a class rexy shame he scares the crap out of girls.
Stunning collection TGV. So cool to see the Casio to AP range 👌. Very inspirational.
Looking forward to the next Seiko mod as well as the next upload!
Regards,
Koen
The variety of watches you have is just amazing. True watch enthusiast. And best intro so far keep it up.
This intro is better than a Halloween movie. My wife and I watched the intro several times. You are an artist.
Regards from Switzerland.
Been watching your videos for too long without thanking you, I have always liked watches but have learnt so much more since finding your channel.
I’m not in a position to own such a collection as yours, just a 15 year old Seiko Kinetic and an orange Edifice but I did stretch to a Scurfa Bell Diver One this year. My first automatic and chuffed to bits with it.
All the best to you!
SOTC:
Rolex sea dweller 50th anniversary black dial
Omega Speedmaster
Omega vintage sea master
Tab Heuer F1
Stowa Marine classic ( what ever came of your Stowa marine? )
Seiko 5 sports
Casio F-91w
My grandfather’s vintage timex, which is worth maybe $50 but is more valuable to me than my Rolex.
Great video as usual. “Long time fan, first time caller!” I appreciate the historical background you provide for your timepieces. I love many of your past and present choices, unfortunately I can’t warm up to the smaller watches (anything under 40mm), though many look so great. My collection is affordable, but appealing to me:
- Tudor HBB red bezel,; Tag Heuer Formula1, Aquaracer, Aquaracer chrono, 1000, ; Hamilton Scuba, LL Bean Automatic field watch; Tissot Seastar, PRC, Visodate; Glysine Combat Sub; Seiko 007, 5, s26 50; Citizen chronograph eco drive; Steinhart GMT, Ocean One Vintage;. Saving for the new Rolex Submariner, no date. Cheers!
This is the only channel i activated the bell. This moment of joy when i see a notification is unparallel.
Great collection TGV. It's so funny to see Hugo promoting the channel when you two bicker all the time lol. The true Dynamic Duo here.
LOL!!!! Cory, you are so right.
Thank you Cory, I almost spat out my drink,
Best regards,
TGV
Thanks to watching way too many of your videos this summer I added the Seiko SARB017, SARB035, and the Orient Classic to my collection LOL! I must say everything you said about those watches is true. So much value and quality. The funny thing is now I've gotten used to 38.5mm. My 40 and 42mm cases feel so much larger now. Thanks for the recommendations. Take care!
Glad to hear back from you, and Hugo. Keep up the good work👍👌❤️
I love these intros! So well put together and thought out!
Not been following you long. Love your enthusiasm and love for all things horological. The videos are great. Freshly inspired my love of watches.
Cheers and keep up the brilliant work
Been waiting for this! Can’t wait to watch! Cheers sir!
Najbardziej zrównoważona i gustownie dobrana kolekcja zegarków z pośród wszystkich youtuberów.
I don't know why but it's so much fun to look at other people's collection. Awesome video TGV!!
Here’s mine, newest to oldest:
Seiko SARB035;
Squale 1545 GMT;
Marathon Navigator;
Casio G-Shock Mudman;
Casio Pathfinder (titanium);
TAG Heuer 2000 auto blue dial;
Citizen Thunderbirds Navihawk;
Timex Snoopy (1970s; my first watch).
I love them all for different reasons!
Was working out of town when I got the notice this video was up. Had to wait until today to watch it. Worth the wait :)
Ahhh, wonderful. I have something to do this evening whilst sipping my bourbon! Excited to hear your thoughts and moves over the last year!
Selling my Polar 216570, and replacing it with BB58, gilt dial. Took me a long time to get over the "but I own a Rolex!" mentality, but the extra $$ in the difference AND having a watch I genuinely love in the BB58 will help. I keep thinking about how in the end, the only one that cares about my watches is me, that any perceived "status" is all in my head, and if I can be a little more financially healthy AND have a great watch...why not do it! Thanks for the 2020 update TGV, always a pleasure watching the channel
TGV, I have been waiting for this video for awhile! Congrats on your stunning collection, and stay safe in Philly!
Can't tell you how much I look forward to your state of the collection videos. Just watched the video with some Fortnum & Mason Royal Blend tea. It doesn't get any better than this.
Thank you so much, you have exquisite taste in tea btw.
Keep being awesome my friend.
Best regards,
TGV
Hell yeah. Was looking forward to this one. Gonna save this for tonight. Excited. Cheers brother!
Thank you for another great video! I actually just finished the three part SOTC you did a few years ago for the second time! :)
I was just wondering when I could sit down and enjoy TGV’s state of the Collection! Cheers 🥂
Thanks for sharing. I enjoy all the stories about each watch!
That intro put a smile on my face! Nice job going that extra mile! Love it! I like Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra, Rolex Explorer, Grand Seiko (SBGA427) sōkō. One day I'll get one of those! Today I wear Seiko Cocktail Time Skydiving, Kronaby Carat in gold w/ Steel Timex Expansion Band, Casio A700WM-7A w/ Archer Rubber Strap. Timex Digital (T78587) in silver was my first ever watch so it has a special place in my heart. I wear it on any strap.
That casio beep is a unique tone. Is it just me?. Always makes me smile to hear it.
Merry Christmas, my friend! All the best! I loved the decoration. I spent my childhood in Japan in the 80s, so the references are vivid! Thank you.
A Stowa marine 36mm has made it to my collection. Thanks to your review. Ever since I saw the video I have fallen in love with that watch.
I'm just a high school senior and also an anti-capitalist (no shame if you do buy luxury watches, it's just not going to be my thing) , so I probably won't be expanding my collection in any foreseeable future that much! But I get a lot of joy from the five watches I own! :)
1. Seiko SNK809: My first automatic, I love it and wear it to work usually
2. Casio A500WA: this looks a bit like the classic A168, but it has a worldtime feature! I use it often for timing tests for school and I love the world time feature.
3. Seiko Quartz Gold Dress Watch V700 8A10: this was my dad's watch, I love it and use it as a dress watch for orchestra concerts and other dress up events usually
4. Vostok Amphibia (classic turquoise with the diver dude) I got this for Christmas, wonderful piece of history and Soviet ingenuity, don't wear it a lot but it's a quirky little watch!
5. Seagull 1963 Pilot Chronograph this is my favorite and most worn watch now! I love it's history with it's swan neck movement based off of the swiss venus movement, and it's use by PRC pilots. My most beautiful watch with that champaign dial, and I sometimes use the chronograph feature as a date function and let a minute pass each day of the month! I love watches and their history, but I see it's material limitation as a luxury product, so I am only going to pursue maybe a vintage Soviet Pobeda watch or another Seiko. I appreciate these videos as your interstellar video got me into watches after watching that movie and googling that watch! I appreciate your odd humor and wealth of information and passion found here. Thank you and have a good day :)

Nicely diversified collection, awesome!
I’m delighted to see the Casios in your collection - fantastic variety of pieces. The Casio DW-290 as been a very popular showcase video on my small channel.
My favorite time of year!! Love the collection TGV😎😎
That intro was EPIC. I haven't even watched the whole video yet but you get a thumbs up for the intro. Stay classy UG!
Love to see the SOTC! I've downsized from 18 watches down to around 6. They are: Cartier Tank, Citizen (radio controlled analogue watch), Citizen Promaster Tough, Bulova Curv, G Shock GW-B5600 and a G Shock MTG-M900. Finally very happy with my collection and don't think I need anything else!
Another wonderful video! your channel is my favorite on RUclips. Always interesting and informative!
I bought the golden Casio AQ 230 this year and I absolutely love it. It looks great and I have received a lot of compliments both from men and women. Being in my early twenties I think it was the perfect choice for something affordable yet good looking.
I also have a black Leijona dress watch with black lether, I love to wear it with a black suit.
I got a black/blue digital Casio watch for my military service and these days I mostly wear it in the gym.
The PVD Ripley watch is outstanding, waiting for the review, it's so 80's ! Good luck to your new project TGV, keep walking!!
Hi TGV
“That’s the whole problem with these watches, you want to buy them all and then a lot of them is sitting in the box, not getting worn”...
Yup, know exactly what you mean, and my collection is less than a quarter of yours.
The good thing is that you tend to get more picky with your choices as you learn about watches. Still, there’s room for “mistakes”. And that’s a good thing really - life’s not supposed to be perfect 😆
What a stunning collection. Always looking forward to your state of the collection, probably the most varied and original on RUclips. Cheap watches, expensive watches, crazy watches, conformed watches, but there’s always a point. Love it.
What I have in my sight for the coming year is a Yema bronze GMT and a Stowa Marine.
Nice vid mate, keep up the good work👍
When Hugo comes for a visit 😂😂😂😂 Great to have an update on your collection. The Yema is such a stunning piece, glad you brought this brand to our attention. Best regards!
I like your collection because it's quite different from what you would expect! Your taste is very unique and personal which I deeply admire and think everyone should have
Nice family you have assembled there ! I just added a Dan Henry 1939 brown dial chronograph to mine because of your turning me on to him. Thanks, and keep up the great videos.
This gets my vote for the best intro in an Urban Gentry video! Superb!
JLC is the only watch maker that can make super thin movements, of which they have supplied such movements to high end watchmakers. TGB the rich diversity of your collection truly reflects your personality of simplicity, class and inclusiveness that characterises a true gentry.
The intro was gold! 👏🏼 Lovely work haha
That intro was absolute gold! Encore!!!
Intro so nailed it! Great production.
love your collection thanks for sharing!
Love this video!!!! Thanks to you, I’ve found Yema!!! I love them! If it was me with the Bronze you’ve got your eye on, the burgundy bezel would really stand out for your collection! Love the new gold Omega too! Stunning. My collection this year has added the Rolex Explorer, Chris Ward C60 GMT, Gerlach Kosmonauta and Axios Flagship 40 Victory. I so love this hobby and I absolutely love your channel!
My collection changed as well. Last year I had a town hall clock from the xviii century, which I stole from my local town hall. This year, I sold that clock and, because no one was on the streets during the pandemic, I was able to expand my collection when I stole 3 clocks from the xix century from my neighboring towns. Can't wait for 2021, I got my eye on some very exquisite Austrian clocks from the xix and xx century pre ww1 clocks which survived to this day, it is gonna be amazing my friend
How do you get them down from the clock towers without any lift equipment?
TUG was my inspiration for getting into watch collecting. I’m a new collector in high school, but he has taught me to appreciate the sentimental value of a good ol automatic watch. Too bad the rest of my generation is leaning towards more modern smart watches, but to each his own.
Another great video - thanks! My current collection consists of Laco Fliegers Palermo and Augsburg (Ø42 mm), Laco Berlin 40, Certina DS Podium, Orient Diver and a Glycine Combat Sub GL0042 (as recommended by you, sir). Will finally acquire a Sinn U1 next month (long term ambition) - looking forward to its arrival. Keep up the excellent work!
Masterful. The intro but more so the collection. Bravo.
My state of the collection:
My first automatic watch: seiko 5 snk809
My first pilot watch: seiko flightmaster sna411
My first dress watch: vintage Longines cal.490
My beater watch: Casio F-91W on a nato strap
And my latest add to my collection: Seiko 5 SNKL41 (I wanted a white dial watch) which I’m going to put on a leather strap to make it a little more dressy.
Love your videos and your personality! You got me into watches and I thank you for this!
Tanti saluti da Firenze e da piazzale Michelangelo!
You're missing a Grand Seiko ;)
It's crazy how similar we are, as you and Teddy B got me into watches on another level. I've gone from Casio G-Shocks and F91s (two) to gmwb5000 then Tudor BB Steel and Rolex Z Blue Milgauss, have my 18k 1960s Gerald Genta Universal Geneve Polerouter Date, and everything coming and going in between.
Cheers, dude.
As someone who is just getting into watches, I'm really enamoured with the Seiko 5 SPRE74 and whilst I'm not sure if the 71/72 will suit me better, knowing I've made a decision based on what I like and how well thought of Seiko are, I know I won't regret whichever one I get.
I started a few months ago.
So far:
Casio Duro MDV 106 on a leather strap - love it to bits.
Casio Royale AE1200 on SS - Fantastic everyday
Casio GShock GA-700.
Casio MW600 (I think)
Used to have a BMW quartz chronograph which was more expensive than all these combined, sold it off
I actually rewatched your 2019 state of the collection randomly this morning before work. I came home to another seiko 5 I ordered just for kicks. Copped the mission impossible casio after your video on it, and waiting for my stowa flieger to arrive in a couple weeks😎. Ever heard of the Baltic Aquascape? Looks really cool imo !
I am honored, especially coming from a Prussian ;-)
Congrats in advance for your latest acquisitions, you are in for some serious fun. As for Baltic, I have seen them beautiful watches. Hopefully I will find time to cover them in 2021, thank you for reminding my my friend.
Best regards,
TGV
I am just in the process of deciding wether to get the BALTIC bronze with blue o black dial ... it’s been weeks and I just can’t decide !!
"Humble Prussian" a contradiction in terms if I ever heard one
The blue dial in your Squale is just beautiful!
What a collection that every Urban Gentleman would be proud of. They're all great but my top three are,
Fortis
Squale
Casio Databank.
I love the pvd over the Ripley!! It looks so much more wearable.
Tristano, love your videos! You make me want to own just about every watch you talk about...
I always love a good SOTC video and I just ordered the black gilt Lorier Neptune III today!
Love these intros! Would love to see videos of vintage Seikos from 60/70s some day
I was shocked when you said you were going to sell your skx, luckily you came to your senses. I just bought a skx013 two weeks ago, I absolutely love it!
Great video!
My small collection - Sinn 556A, Rolex Ceramic Sub date, 36mm Rolex OP white dial, Casioak (because of your review) G shock GMD8800.
Thanks for the inspiration & Hugo
Collection circa 2020: Breitling B1 from 2005; Damasko da36; Bremont U2 custom dial with my fighter squadron livery; marathon GSAR; omega speedster .005 hesalite moon watch; and the latest is the Seiko King samurai.... Looking at a Rolex explorer, but that will have to wait. Love the reviews and all of the talk. Videos are amazingly shot.
My collection last year consists of a Citizen chronograph and a Apple watch. I recently purchase the Seiko 5kx with the green dial, gorgeous watch. Get even more into the hobby and at the same time, I found your channel which is such an inspiration and enjoyment to watch you express your passion and knowledge. A Casio A158W just arrived also and the Flighty is on its way, can't wait to get it on the wrist :D
Casio F91, 5600 with a JK bullbars, Bulova Spaceview, Fortis, Flighty, SKX, Squale 30......a best of the best, a real icons of 20th century on the wrist....really nice collection TGV
Nice video
Ciao
I love the intro TGV, I’m a complete 80s fanboy. Good health to you buddy 👌🏻
Best intro ever!
7:57 that gold Seiko looks amazing!
1. I still can’t believe you sold that blue navitimer.
2. Love the Dan Henry stops you from scooping up another speedy!
3. My god, the Ripley!!!!!!
I was wearing my Casio and when the alarm went off in the video I thought to my self "I'm quite sure I didn't set an alarm" followed by me trying to stop it to no avail. Got me good.
Awesome collection. This video reminded me that I also have a Seiko Ripley and I need to get the bracelet sized. My collection this year expanded to a Gold Seiko Turtle that i returned because the chapter ring misalignment. A few weeks ago I bought a DW5600 to my cycling.
Hilarious intro with Hugo. Keep up the good work.
You have a wonderful collection of beautiful time pieces. I've just started over the last 4 years and have accumulated the following: 3 Rolex watches (sub, SS datejust, two tone datejust), Tudor Blackbay red, Omega Seamaster 300m black dial, Breitling Avenger blue dial, Seiko skx 009, Glycine combat sub and a Hamilton below zero all stainless steel. I still have my eyes on other watches, this is a disease of which i don't want a cure.
Such a fun, eclectic collection. Your channel got me started collecting watches. My small collection consists of a quartz Seiko Chronograph, Seiko SKX 007, 009, Tissot Visodate on mesh, Hamilton Khaki King, Breitling Colt 41 in a beautiful blue and a Rolex OP 36 white.
