      I'm sick of hearing this single brain cell logic......"without this......../we wouldn't have had this......."
      Making things is not built on a house of cards, just because one watch was/wasn't a success DOES NOT mean all the other lineage from said watch would not have happened.
      It's the same as saying, if your mother didn't sleep with an un-anthropomorphicsized Thomas the Tank Engine look-a-like you would not have existed.
      Of course you would existed, you simply would not have been so pug ugly.
      I bet the Misses shuts her eyes when you come.

    A little surprised the original trench watch didn't make your list. Seeing that it was adapted to wear on the wrist versus the pocket while timing attacks from the trenches in WWI. That adaptation opened the door for all other wristwatches. Great list Russell!

    I have to say, I really like your show but there were two major blunders in this one: 1. The GS Snowflake (owner here) is very accurate indeed but not 10 seconds a year. That would be the 9F Quartz. The Snowflake 9R is accurate to 15 sec a month (but it's better than that) and 2. A. Lange & Söhne shows the craftsmanship of Swiss watchmaking? The Swiss would wish they could come close to the craftsmanship of that sublime German brand (I'm living near to Glashütte, where they are built).
    Otherwise, great show, as always. ;)
    Edit: Just seen the amendment in the pinned comment. Phew... Credibility restored :D

  • @brunocraighero2460
    @brunocraighero2460 3 місяці тому +3

    Probably you have to include the Jaeger-LeCoutre Reverso to the list, a design so iconic, maybe even more than the tank!
    Then a calculator watch, like the Casio Data bank instead the first resin. We are not talking about news, we are talking about iconic -and copied- designs! Resin is not iconic, it's just a way to cut down the prices.
    Oh, and you have to include Swatch, the iconic design of them it's recognizable everywhere.
    Thanks for the list Russ!

    Great choices! I definitely prefer your list.
    In defence of the Moon Watch's 50m rating - that's an Omega 50m, which is very different to other brands.
    Omega very explicitly says on its website that even a 30m rating from them means that you can wear the watch at 30m depth for extended periods of time with vigorous arm movements without limitation.
    Gotta love that confidence in their product. I've swam with my Moonwatch many times with zero issues.

    @balthazarbeutelwolf9097 3 місяці тому

    One missing from the list is the PP Calatrava from 1928. Yes, pricey, but pretty much all modern dress watches derive from that. There is the standard fieldwatch look, which has no representative on the list, but probably also no true original it would be based on - I take Citizen's eco-derive fieldwatch as a rep of the class, as that also covers the solar watch thing, and Citizen nailed that. Another influential military spec one is the type-b flieger from WW2; not just often copied, but a really well-thought-through design when the minutes of the hour are your main concern; originally made by several companies, I'd go for Laco or Stowa. On the technology side, I'd put in the Junghans Mega, the first radio-controlled watch.

    The picture of the lange that you showed is of the Lange 1 and not the datograph. It's selling the datograph a little short, however I think the Lange 1 is also very lovely. The datograph is a perpetual calendar with a chronograph function. Which is pretty rare, and very impressive. Also they are German watchmakers.

But definitely Grand Seiko HAS to be there, sure doesn't have brand cache of Rolex or AP but from technology and art perspective its one of the greatest watches ever made!
