Sand is heated until it melts thus becoming glass. Sand is made from ground up rocks. However steel is also made from rocks 🪨 in the form of iron ore. We don’t call steel a rock, just as we don’t call glass a rock. Loved that purple hand story and the Seiko navigation story. Toms face 😮
So glad you cleared that whole "how to find North" using a watch thing up. LOL I'm not sure what if anything militaries do in 2023 (ET call home... on your SAT phone?) but when I did my RCAF Land Survival Course back in the mid 80s, we were in fact, required to show that we could navigate using our wrist watch. Back then of course we also used paper maps, Jeppesen computers (round slide-rule-like device similar to the one a downed aviator might find on a Breitling Navitimer), and could add, subtract, divide and multiply using our heads- all skills unheard of in the modern day ;)
Displaying aptitude and intelligence in modern education is considered to be a passive aggressive hate crime towards those without intellectual privilege.
The moser is stunning! Having absolutely nothing on the dial in the way of logo,text etc really works...absolutely stunning! Seiko really have been killingbit recently, jist a shame the peices have just gone stratospheric which means many are out of peoples budget 😢 really is a shame...
H Moser is my favorite in this list. The bracelt is one of the most amazing ones i have seen. Especially the high polished version on the green dial model.
Agreed. Moser's Streamliner was already a dream watch for me. Now they've made the case a bit smaller (39mm), added a beautiful fumé enamel dial, and a micro rotor! It's like they read my mind because those are all things I would have answered if some asked me how they could make the Streamliner even better. Now if only I could afford one...
I have been learning about watches and have enjoyed your channel content. In my learning I have found the ‘IWC Schaffhausen’ Portofino Complete Calendar (IW359001) to my liking. Are they a good watch?
Murakami did innumerable projects with/for Louis Vuitton for many years, so it's expected that he would design watches for Hublot, an LVMH subsidiary. This is not the first one, by the way. Murakami is the ego of Japanese contemporary art. Aida Makoto is the id. I like Murakami's work, but I cannot imagine who would buy this Hublot. Maybe the same people who will buy the upcoming Kusama-designed Hublot. (I have no idea if that collaboration will happen, but I wouldn't be surprised.)
Murakami is that classic artist that was cool decades ago and then becomes mainstream with brands seeking to tap into the cool without realising its only cool in the eyes of people that aren't.. similar to hirst, haring...etc But it is a good concept, looks good, well executed, and will sell well to ostentatious rich dudes with low cultural capital. Expect on plenty of sports stars, in Vegas, and in the club.
The Oris 75 is gorgeous, love the color scheme. I've got the same design in 65 and it's a very comfortable daily, but I've payed 1000€ for the 65 and I don't believe that the 75 worths $4100, even so it would be "exclusive".
I want a Landmaster GMT. Point the hour hand at the sun, rotate the bezel so the GMT hand points to North and boom, done. Plus then you can quickly check for calibration as the GMT hand slowly moves from the N
@@pompeylad1977 Even “solid” glass still flows. Therefore it’s a liquid. If you look at really old buildings you’ll see the glass at the base is thicker than at the top
F.Constantin hasn't got any credit for their engineering innovations and new attractive designs as well as a great value prop, its not my thing but they deserve kudos. Love the new Moser too🎉
If two of your buddies ran up and one said “come on there is a formula 1 car over there” and the other said “come on there is a Vauxhall over this way with a formula 1 engine in it!” …. Which buddy do you go with?
I really don't think that EUR 30k is excessive for that Moritz Grossmann, for what one gets. Certainly not compared to a similarly priced Patek Philippe.
That is the most attractive FC watch that I have seen. Funny how Tom knows that something is not right in the way that the compass method is being described with regard to the Seiko.
The Philippe Dufour has managed something amazing. Thousands of Euros have been spent to make something look cheap. It's achieved the amazing result that you have to wear it inverted to hide the dial. Glory at the calibre, but get the time from your phone.
Feu isn't a difficult french word to pronounce. As a watch connoisseur, you're bounde to have to use these french terms. And Brits have adopted many french words historically. Dont understand what's missing.
I don't think FC is overstepping with the highlife perpetual tourbillion. Their perpetual calendars and tourbillions are celebrated for their price-points and they only made 35, so hardly a financial risk of ruin.
You are great reviewers but please dont you ever do that flashing images during the Mathey,Tissot,Massena shoot.It was unbelievably uncomfortable.Do not do that again,you naughty boys,otherwise you will see me elsewhere.
Yeah and bojangles’s fried chicken looks awful if you are comparing it to key lime pie…. You’re looking at it like YOU would wear a WATCH and that just isn’t the point
Sand is definitely not rock. Glass isn't a great material for a watch case. And sapphire isn't much good either. And that Hublot! There should be a prison just for Hublot designers, and wearers?
The M. Grossman is calling to me. The price, however, would ring in my ear like the needle across a vinyl record 😵💫
Big fan of the M.Grossmann tefnut. That's classic in every sense of the word.
"Grey is of course my favourite colour and reminds me of MANY of the thoughts I have during the times I am alone." You guys are brilliant!
That british "That's decent" after the huge monologue. I'm still crying 😂

The H Moser bracelet, reminds of the ebel sport, and classic waves
That's a bit harsh?
I really love that Omega, that’s a bit of me that, wish it weren’t so big though, sub 40mm would be great.
The Seiko at the end is brilliant too.

Mosers are pure class. Wow!
They massacred the Full Strike, one of my favourite LUC Chopard models. 😮💨 Meanwhile, the Moritz Grossman is really lovely.
That Oris is painfully retro and beautiful
The Omega and Seiko appealed to me the most. =)
Same here mate.
"2400 pounds!" "that's decent" I love this channel
I was completely mesmerized by the M Grossman until the price took my breath away! WOW I was NOT expecting that!
Same here 👍🏻
That Oris piece is beautiful but would prefer the bracelet not to be two tone
You finally talked about Moritz Grossmann. Thank you.
I love is when Tom says "fetching"!

"uhh, can I try it on?" [10:08] I nearly fell out of my chair laughing. Such a legendary response.
Philippe Dufour is famous for his phallic pieces, but all done with class!
You have to bisect the angle between the hour hand and a 12 o'clock position. Not between hour and minute hands.
The Omega Seamaster looks like a design that has come to the end of the road. Not much more that can be done to it, let alone renew it.
I'd have been happiest with the Frederique Constant quartz

The Hublot Smiling Flower should be called The Abysmal.
The Moser is incredibly handsome! Really smooth design!
Great watches and review. Not all to my taste but whatever floats your boat! As for glass, it’s a liquid not a stone.
Glass is a solid, molten glass is a liquid.

Maybe (probably) it's the numerals, but my first association with the Oris was Spongebob Squarepants.
Glass does not have a crystalline structure. Therefore, it’s really a fluid and not a rock.
Love the Grossman by the way.
If two of your buddies ran up and one said “come on there is a formula 1 car over there” and the other said “come on there is a Vauxhall over this way with a formula 1 engine in it!” …. Which buddy do you go with?
That Moser is just beautiful
I was already a bit fan of their Streamliner, but with that one it's like they read my mind on ways they could make it even better.
there is a stone named adventurine. but they named it after the glass because it looks just like it.
It seems to me that watch companies just think of a random high number and then charge it!
I really don't think that EUR 30k is excessive for that Moritz Grossmann, for what one gets. Certainly not compared to a similarly priced Patek Philippe.
'Thats decent' - awesome.
"Purple's going to be the new green..." LOL
"That decent." Legendary ending to the incredibly easy to use, Seiko compass watch section.
Well, I quite like the background music…H. Moser for me😉
OMG I have done the silvering on the clocks I sold during the Pandemic, although doing this on a watch is more refined than "Horology Hulk" will do.
10:52 Pfft I got an aventurine dial with a big date and moon phase for $150 so I’m afraid I’ll have to pass Mr Dufour
That is the most attractive FC watch that I have seen. Funny how Tom knows that something is not right in the way that the compass method is being described with regard to the Seiko.
H.Moser is awesome!!!!!!!
7:00 The Hublot glass flower watch you can keep. And I will keep the £273K that I do not have to buy it.
My God … the H. Moser is stunningly beautiful
Lol the seiko description 😂
H moser: DAMN
Hublot: WTF
What about the new Longines conquest Chrono?
No mention of the micro-rotor tourbillon from Horage (Autark Tourbillon) ;)
Glass is actually a stone by def.....oh...
"A buttload of sapphire coming out the wazoo there" You gotta start a rap career after that
Impressed that you know of "Quadrophenia"👍
I hope nobody tries to navigate according to Andrew's instruction.
The Philippe Dufour has managed something amazing. Thousands of Euros have been spent to make something look cheap. It's achieved the amazing result that you have to wear it inverted to hide the dial. Glory at the calibre, but get the time from your phone.
Chopard is very interesting 👍
H moser , enamel? On a sport watch? Brittle
I love the Frederic constant
As bad as it would be to eat sapphire I think it would be worse coming out the wazoo.

2x lighter? Is that the same as half the weight?
Hmmm a Tudor BB or the 75 what a dilemma 😂
What countries can I legally marry that Oris"Seventy-five"? A very beautiful watch.
You are great reviewers but please dont you ever do that flashing images during the Mathey,Tissot,Massena shoot.It was unbelievably uncomfortable.Do not do that again,you naughty boys,otherwise you will see me elsewhere.
Glass is definitely a stone by definition.
Glass is actually a stone by definition… So. Yeah.
how about CW The Twelve?
Did the Longines Heritage come before the Grossman?
slowly freeze to death while trying to figure out which way is north 💀
Omega..2X lighter?? Does that mean it's half the weight that it would have been if it had been made of something else?
The Hublot is very nice (sorry Nico Leonard!)
The Moser looks like a Nautilus got left out on the dash of your car in high Summer.
Review Haofa please :)
Next time will carry a compass
Glass is actually a stone.

No Longines Legend Diver 39mm?
There's no such thing as "two times lighter"!
Did you know that glass by definition is in fact a stone?
That Moser is ruined by the small seconds circle. Why ruin a beautiful dial like that?
Tom cracks me up ..... 🤣
Love to hear you say of the Hublot "I'd wear it!" multiple times, each with less certainty than the last.
Are there any beautiful MEN's Quartz Watches.
Christie’s, the good one… you obviously don’t follow the auctions much, paddle 1013
That Freddy Croissant is well bum, in the Nathan Barley sense, natch. Just needs a really big number 5.
Boring.
