- Germany is an incredible country of rich culture, amazing industrial strength, an unmistakable history of design innovation, and an amazing attention to detail to anything they make. It is precisely for these reasons, among many others that makes them a tour de force when it comes to making some of the best watches from affordable to ultra luxury. Often overlooked by the mainstream watch buying public, Germany is a super power horologically. In today's WWT (Wrist Watch Talk) episode I discuss 5 of my personal favourites from the many fantastic brands I love and explain why I will always have a German made watch in my collection.

I do not use the messaging system on RUclips, Facebook or Instagram, thank you.
the list starts at
Not only do I learn a lot about watches from this channel, but also a lot more about art, culture, music, history and design. This inspires me to appreciate things that I encounter on a deeper level and gives me the curiosity to look further. Thank you for your videos!
For anyone looking for a great German tool watch, Damasko should not be overlooked. Their technology is on par with Sinn plus they make many of their components in-house. Love your videos!
TGV,
Thank you very much for the kind words about Germany Sir!
hi tgv, i really enjoyed this episode of wwt. i'm new to horology and i've been learning it through videos, i always find it really interesting when you to talk about history of watches and your enthusiasm when you talk about it is to me really refreshing and to me i think this what sets you apart from other youtubers. we really appreciate the great content and hope more and more to come. thanks
As someone relatively new watch collecting, your videos have been an invaluable resource. Just ordered a Stowa Antea Klassik 41 this morning and cannot wait to wear it. Keep up the good work...cheers!
I am from Hong Kong. Love this video! Love Germany watches and tools. Owning Sinn U1 and Sinn EZM7.
Interesting video - I really like these historical/educational videos. Keep 'em coming. Interesting choices for your top 5 too. Was a bit surprised A Lange & Sohne or Glashutte Original didn't make it. I have a German made watch but the design and style is decidedly not Germanic (in my opinion) that would be my Alexander Shorokhoff. Ciao, John.
Thank you TGV!
Great selection of German brands. I find German brands has stronger character and style than the Swiss brands. You can almost tell each brand by the design and style of the watches they produced. Great video and keep it up! Thanks!
Great video! Educational too! Just curious where can I go to see that list you were looking of quality tests Sinn perform on their watches?
First off, what a gracious giveaway Lad!
I really love these videoes TGV. A great video with an amazing enthusiasm. I am from Norway, but currently visiting Germany. Strongly considuring a Junghans Max Bill with the quarts movment. Cant help feeling that I sould go with the Automatic verson.
Next monday, my lovely Zeppelin LZ129 Hindenburg 7060-1 will arrive. And it will be modded with love.
I swear you're reading my mind. I've been looking for a comprehensive list everywhere! Great as always.
I really like these shows ! 30 mns of pleasure and really interesting information. I need a Stowa flieger now ;-)
I have really enjoyed your videos more and more Sir. Very well done. It is easy to find 'the standard' video for product reviews and history. Cars have them, firearms have them, and you sir are becoming the standard for watch videos. I have recently discovered the German watching making swarm of amazing time pieces. I started watching your videos only to learn you have had many of my own watches. First Omega in Space, check, black bay 36, check. I have a couple of hamiltons and even a Chris Ward. However your review of the Sinn 104 had captivated me. I also really appreciate your passion for history and WW2 war fighting hardware. The F4U Corsair is probably my all time most favorite aircraft ever made. Such beauty and focus of purpose. You keep up the good work sir. I purchased my first German watch (a Junkers 150 Hugo Junkers special) because of the Bauhaus video you did. I am pleased and pained by how much money your channel has cost me :) Anyway, keep up the wonderful videos and stay true to your style and let your personality show.
brilliant video as always tgv. so glad I found your page and Facebook group. best regards, Tom.
I'd like to see a duel between Sinn and Damasko. Both do great aviation watches that are hard as nails and really innovative.
