Forget IWC, Rolex, Tudor, Watches & Wonders: The Hottest Brand Of 2023 IMO + Depthmaster Unboxing

  • Опубликовано: 16 апр 2023
  • In today's video I share my thoughts on new releases from Rolex, Tudor, IWC, and Watches and Wonders, and why most of them don't interest me. I discuss how I truly stay interested in watches and collecting them, despite the vapid clickbait hype, exploitative market, and social media being ruined by watch dealers. We then take a look at which watch brand is doing it right in 2023, and most importantly, what makes them so hot compared to everyone else. I also share an unboxing and mini review of a truly remarkable watch, which happens to be the best automatic affordable $1000 alternative to Panerai, from a Swiss heritage brand. Join me for another essential Urban Gentry video to find out why the Nivada Grenchen Depthmaster is so special and what I got wrong about their F77 watch. What do you think about Nivada Grenchen watches? Please share in the comments.

    I really appreciate your approach to having the watch in hand first before you make a video. So many channels talk about watches they know nothing about. The recent Timex Q 3 time zone chronograph was a prime example where channels got confused about which hour hand is tied to the 24 subdial.

    @anthonystevens8683 Год назад +1

    Nice one TGV, at last not yet another persons perspective on a hand full of watches released over the last week or so that arguably in some cases are for hype. That Depthmaster looks fantastic and shouldn't require the sale of a major organ or two just to get onto a wait list. It's great to continue to see a real independent review of our little wrist time telling (or is that measuring?) machines either mechanical or powered by a box of sparks. This is why I continue to subscribe to the channel. Great work.

    Thank you for turning the Watches & Wonders hype upside down with this review. It is refreshing and very informative. I will say for W&W this year that Tudor over all has the most intriguing pieces for my tastes. That 54 and the BB 36 varieties really caught my attention. The 1908 from Rolex is an eye catcher as well. Shout to the Qualita Oro! One of my favorite coffees as well. Best always, TGV.

Keep up the cool work.

    Great video as always. It has been funny seeing a whole host of channels who were recently releasing videos bashing Rolex and saying how they won't buy another one falling over themselves to lick the boot now there a few new releases that most of us have no chance of experiencing even if we have the means.
    You along with a few other channels are excellent on lesser known brands. I most likely would not have looked into either Squale or Fortis both of whom do not really advertise at all and aren't readily available at mainstream outlets in the UK without seeing them here.
    Now a very happy owner of a Y1545 and an F41.

    Lorier and Jack Mason, in my opinion, are looking to have the best microbrand releases this year. Lorier already crushed it with the updates to their models and are making the Hydra a traveler’s GMT with the Miyota 9075 and now have the Astra which is a beautiful dressy sports watch. Jack Mason has turned a complete 180 with the
    Strat-O-Timer and now the release of the Hydrotimer. The quality and that new clasp is a game changer and I can’t wait to get my hands on the gilt Hydrotimer. I think imma go broke this year with all these fantastic releases!

    TGV you make the absolute most of the resources you have, including your "studio." I agree with taking a break from huge trade shows and concentrating instead on what you do best: buying fascinating, historically important watches and reviewing them with your inimitable style. Everyone takes a pause to reconsider from time to time, and we like this channel (if I can be so bold to speak for others) because of those reviews and conversations, not so much the trade show action.
    I'd like to see you and Marc do a video just about the various books you two have about watches. That would be educational and hilarious: he can cover the technical and engineering side and so forth. Truth to tell, I really enjoy the way you leaf through your beautiful book collection during the reviews.
    Carry on with courage, fortitude and tenacity! The other day, a young girl in a supermarket parking lot saw that sticker and asked her mother what a "tensity" was and I said: "Ten-a-city sweetie. It means something like "determination" if you know that word. One day I hope you also learn that it's a 16th century transliteration from the Latin!" and her mom laughed. Anyway, I have that sticker in the rear window of my car, but now I think it's time for a coffee mug...I wonder where that idea came from? lol.
    P.S. ---> There are various emulators for Windows 95, including one that runs in the browser! I haven't tried them but it might be worth a shot!

    So glad you did the lightest of touches on Watches and Wonders, I try ever so hard to avoid its boredom inducing impact. The NG watch that has really impressed me is the Chronomaster, lovely looking watch. Personally, I am starting to go down the independent watchmaker rabbit hole. Having a watch that is vastly different from anyone else really does appeal. But this works in the branded field also. I would take a Squale or Hemel or Panerai every day over something bland and common.

    Great Video again. Thanks for your great statements. And I appreciate that you didn't went to W&W only to show us what everybody showed us about watches we can't effort and brands who don't give a thing about us.
    Btw. I would love to point you on a german watch brand you propably never heared of but you should: Lehmann. Located near Schramberg of Junghans. If you got time someday check his watches, especially his masterpiece movements.
    They produce everything by their own. Cases, Movements, Dials and even the Hands.
    They even producing their own machines for the watch manufacturing. (The family owned before and still owns a company to produce high precise machines for watchproducers).

    Good vid TGV, always love the pure honesty. It is refreshing to see you owning a Panerai... It's still a controversial watch, but classy. O/U 🥃🥃🥃

    After seeing this video yet again, I've ended up buying a Depthmaster. I have a Radiomir so I get the 'Baby Panerai' reference. Thanks for your excellent reviews!

    Farer has had my attention for a while now, but their recent release of the Lander IV in 36mm is hard to pass up. I also love what Zenith is doing. The Defy Revival Shadow in 37mm looks amazing. I bought their 38mm Chronomaster last year though, so sadly I can’t justify another one 😅 yet…

    I think I may have thought of a piece that meets the DepthMaster specs and beats the price…..but first-
    How refreshing! TGV, you have been original and inspirational from the beginning. I still remember when you first dropped that coffee video. In fact, I purchased a Bialetti Mocha Express for my mother due to that video. She had wanted a better way to make good coffee, and she still uses it to this day! You have come a incredibly long way, but are still rooted in originality and have an honest interest in helping your fellow man.
    I would like to commend you on not falling into the trap of talking about W&W. Thank you. I too was uninspired by this years onslaught of samey-samey…..I do have to say, I think Rolex are moving Tudor into the traditional level that the professional model Rolex occupied and Rolex is moving into a higher level (PP,AP,VC) type space. THE FOLLOWING IS JUST CONJECTURE BUT INTERESTING….I was speaking to my AD….there is rumor in the very innermost circles that Patek has been acquired by Rolex. Both are privately owned. No one would necessarily have to make it known. Notice how the Cellini is gone. Notice how there are now see through casebacks on several Rolex models. LOOK AT THE COIN EDGE BEZEL that is very Calatrava-sequel on the “new” 1908. Both of these are things that Rolex said it wasn’t interested in. Now I have no clue to the validity of such a suggestion…..BUT YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST and I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised. Would be sad for Patek to be absorbed. That would be earth shattering.
    The Big Block wasn’t a 3,6,9 dial was it? If I remember correctly it was 6,9,12 with date at 3. Or is that the Tiger. If you really want an accessible BigBlock look at a brand Marc has just recently started carrying. I think you will find the LeJour Lemans to be shockingly good. I love mine. It is thick though.
    Now the DepthMaster…..what a incredibly cool piece. They are already nearly sold out it would seem. The PacMan dial is incredibly original and quite fun. I think, possibly, perhaps, just maybe I remembered a piece that might actually beat it though as a 1000m, HV equipped, Swiss watch that beat the DepthMaster. It isn’t a homage, it is completely original, and extremely few people are aware it exists due to the brands “Rolex homage” watch reputation. Enter the Steinhart Triton 1000 IN TITANIUM!!
    Excellent work my friend! Thanks so much for being traditional, original, and creative all at the same time. You are THE diamond in the rough. Superb. Be well, my friend. Onward and upward!

    Definitely not my cup of tea. But the brand, oh boy, pure class! I'll probably gift myself a Nivada chronomaster after I passed the watchmaking school. Excellent video as usual TGV!🔥

    I just acquired a Carl F. Bucherer scuba tech and I love it. Granted it’s more in price but regardless it’s a tank and it fits my 8 inch wrist. Hope you present it some day.

    Funny I was just checking out the Nivada Grenchen Super Antarctic 32026A because my father went to Antartica in the 50s on that Navel exploration that this watch is commemorating. I am very interested in this watch because he just passed I wanted to commemorate him with this watch, and such a cool micro brand with all their offerings. A Very cool dive watch you’re reviewing as well. Thanks for the dive into Nivada Grenchen !!

    Tiberian sun was amazing. They came out with renegade afterwards which was like a rts with first person mechanisms. It was actually pretty cool but I’m pretty sure the learning curve was too steep

    I definitely saw the nod to the Tudor black bay that looks so much like the TGV Squale collab that came out prior to watches and wonders. Real evidence of style and taste being ahead of it’s time.

    Talking about 1000m dive watches, one of the most interesting piece is the Baume & Mercier Capeland S XXL. It was a fail when it came out and B&M discontinued it quickly. Now there is a cult around it.

  • @patrickbernier650

    Great video as ever. Edox is also offering a great 1000m diver with their Neptunian. It’s a Swiss brand with a great history that is always under the radar. Would love to see of of their offering getting the TGV treatment. I recently got their COSC certified Hydro-sub and it’s a stunner for the price.

    I would have to agree with some of the previous comments, a Baume & Mercier Riviera review would be great! It has to be one of my favorite watches of all time, and one I wish to own one day. TGV, I would definitely like your review of Eberhard and CO, since it is one of the most popular brands in Italy 🇮🇹 !! I love my Traversetolo!!

    As of late I am developing ennui regarding all the watches being introduced and offered. My tastes have become rather simplified: simple tool watches, no date, under a $1000. Your appreciation of micro brands and their offering mirror my tastes as well. Then G-Shock introduces the MR-G (MRGB5000) and offers it at $4000 - a G-Shock, you have got to be kidding! Your videos TGV are enlightening and a breath of fresh air in the watch collecting community. Keep inspired and carry on. All the best -

    I am not an expert as yourself concerning watches & your other interesting pursuits; which is why I like seeing your videos to continue learning new things... I like your take on alternatives to the "big boys" as there is no reason why one can have a quality watch without going to the poorhouse as a result...😊...In this video, you described yourself as being the sum of a varied, complicated world view - a perfect mindset for the rest of the video, separating the wheat from the chaff...
    i. e., the "big boys" are not the "end all" & it is good they know they have competition....otherwise, why do they have the yearly shows as you described? Because they know competitors are nipping at their heels & people such as yourself are explaining the nuances & explaining there are fresh alternatives out there...😊
    On the lighter side, you are bloody brilliant! 😂 Not only did you take on the "evil martinis" & barely lived as well as severely punishing the "harbinger of time", you decided to complicate things by quaffing "Sudden Death!" 😂 Talk about the "hair of the dog!"😂
