I have to admit you are the most entertaining watch aficionado/expert that exists on this planet. Your wealth of knowledge and your use of humor is fantastic!
That Speedmaster is rather impressive. Something new! But how JLC connect the movement with the carriage mechanism only at certain times - there are even numerals marked in red on the dial to indicate when not to touch it - is also quite something.
"Does the crown pull out more times than a bad Catholic" is possibly your best line ever. I assume that you bathe in preservatives to produce daily content without ever getting stale. Love your work!
You should follow this up with a non - Swiss watch video, that way you can talk abouf the Grand Seiko Kodo Contstant Force Tourbillon SLGT003 and the A. Lange & Sohne 1815 or Zeitwork
I would have liked to see VC, Breguet, ALS GP, UN, Zenith on the list instead of IWC, Omega, Breitling Tudor and Rolex. The title is TOP brands after all.
“Pulling out more times than a bad Catholic” man that made me lol on the drive to work. I love your witty lines and dry humour, it works so well in this format!
Thank you for the honest and accurate opening rant on Patek. It’s a great brand with great watches but c’mon… the bro hype & prices are ridiculous. And the AP “Code” jabs were fantastic 🙌🏻
Really looking forward to the video on your ceramic frog collection! That pick n mix Patek movement is insane, not to mention the Omega, but my favourite is the Cartier
Awesome video...one of your very best yet Andrew...each timepiece a grail and verbally delivered with the deft agility of a Robin Williams comedic evening's entertainment! Great stuff!
Breathlessly fabulous presentation, with more subtly-hilarious side-references than the dots on the radar screen in *99 Luftballons* . But, let's get super-obscure here: speaking of music, was that quip at 19:50 a reference to Haircut One Hundred? (Oh, the watches? The crazy Speedy repeater, of course.)
Hmmm, what a choice - the chiming Omega Speedster, or a house!!!!! One to live in, the other to do what a mobile 'phone, or a G-Shock, can do! Nice watch, great engineering, but seriously!!!!
More amazing than Darth Mauls light saver going in both directions…..Pulls out more times than a bad catholic. Genius writing😂😂 love the Channel, well done.
Yachtmaster 2 is more complicated than the skydweller tho. Programmable mechanical memory, programmable 10 minute countdown timer, ring command bezel. Both a flyback and flyforward chronograph with vertical clutch, colomn wheel
Did I miss the discussion of the GS Kodo Constant Force Tourbillon SLGT003? I must have missed it, certainly you wouldn’t have left that watch out of this video.
To me, the notion of “The Best” watches does not have to lie necessarily in the number of complications. A simply deployed timekeeping-only function in an agreeable case with fine finishing could achieve “The Best” status for me. Great video! I wish my pocketbook would accommodate the purchase of a few of these. Happy 2024!
I'm definitely no watchmaker, nor horological expert, but it's hard for me to believe their is anything more impressive than that JLC. Am I missing anything, or is it just that insane?
Grand Seiko attracts a small number of loyals who want to get distinguished . I bet , the brand can never go bigger , just be a dwarf . Look detailly in Grand Seiko , I see all is in perfection . Even the surfaces hiden behind also get perfected . This trait had attracted a lot of grumpy guys who tend to find small faults to blame . But at first glance , Grand Seiko provides no appeals . Like L.U. Chopard brand with most time spending to produce watches with highest quality . But all looks unappealing . Wristwatch is nowadays not a sole wristwatch , its main function has changed to being jewellery . If I want a wristwatch to get precise timing , quartz is far most suitable .
@@aljoubert8749 Japanese products are all in highest quality . But ... bland ( or worst , ugly like most Lexus cars ) .

Honestly, the writing and delivery is top tier stuff. Genuinely entertaining, well done!
Thank you!
But the thumbnails now are top tear youtube handbook type :D
“Pulling out more times than a bad catholic” 😂😂😂 that got me
That was the one!!!
😂😂😂😂
I’m still laughing!
Yep 😂
i don't get it 😢
I have to admit you are the most entertaining watch aficionado/expert that exists on this planet. Your wealth of knowledge and your use of humor is fantastic!
Andrew! The term is overused, but you continue to AMAZE me with your humor, your clarity, and your depth of knowledge. Thank you!
Thanks 😊
"Dart Mauls light sabre in both directions" I could not agree more, what a comparison, I vividly remember that scene and my amazement.
Truly the Jeremy Clarkson of watch reviewers with these hilarious comparisons 😂
Love the Newey reference !!! Always enjoy the humor and content - thank you
That Speedmaster is rather impressive. Something new! But how JLC connect the movement with the carriage mechanism only at certain times - there are even numerals marked in red on the dial to indicate when not to touch it - is also quite something.
That Cartier is crazy
The first 3 watches are insane marvels.
Andrew, one of your best. I was thoroughly entertained. Thanks.
"Does the crown pull out more times than a bad Catholic" is possibly your best line ever. I assume that you bathe in preservatives to produce daily content without ever getting stale. Love your work!
Going to need confession, my son 😢😮😂❤
I like mechanical watches but the reason I watch your videos is purely down to your witty writing. It's quite a Mastery! ❤
Can we have a part 2 that covers the likes of VC and Lange as well?
You should follow this up with a non - Swiss watch video, that way you can talk abouf the Grand Seiko Kodo Contstant Force Tourbillon SLGT003 and the A. Lange & Sohne 1815 or Zeitwork
Can you do a most popular or most iconic watch from each top brand?
For Tag Heuer I would have chosen the Monaco V4 Tourbillion which runs circles around the Carrera Tourbillion and is far more expensive to buy.
Absolutely talented writing and my entire weekend is now entertained and learned
For me, the JLC and the Cartier ones are stunning.
Jlc for me
Cartier is a groundbreaker
Skydweller is underrated
Breitlings effort says everything about the brand.
Pateks and AP to chunky
I would have liked to see VC, Breguet, ALS GP, UN, Zenith on the list instead of IWC, Omega, Breitling Tudor and Rolex. The title is TOP brands after all.
Might be your best script so far. Brilliant. As for the watches - great selection of utter madness.
OMEGA making absolute legend watches that rose gold Speedmaster looks amazing 400k budget watch
Your writing is officially the best thing about being a watch nerd. Bravo! 😂🙏
Spectacular.
I'm talking about your script. It's just spectacular. A pure joy to listen to your content, Andrew, THANK YOU 😊
“Pulling out more times than a bad Catholic” man that made me lol on the drive to work. I love your witty lines and dry humour, it works so well in this format!
Great video, effortless explanation of sidereal time was much appreciated
The Sky dweller is gorgeous, but in mint green it is beautiful.
I pretty much agree. There would be an interesting video for the affordable realm: Best Seiko, best Casio, best Timex...not best value, just best.
13:33 Douglas Adams? Wasn't expecting a Hitchhiker's Guide reference today! *_checks whereabouts of towel_*
Sky Dweller. What a watch! Blue SS Jubilee. GOAT.
Mental.......effing mental. Enjoyed every minute of this one.
Skydweller gets my vote.
Thank you Andrew! I always watch your videos with a lot of joy. You bring fun to the hobby, and of course a lot of priceless information.
Thanks, really appreciated
“There’s not been so much confidence in an idea since Stockton Rush reached the end of the toilet paper” …… I take my hat off to you sir.
That joke made me implode
The PP at the start is beyond bonkers amazing!
Epic video, like the watches mentioned! Thank u AM it is great to have u on YT.
Thank you!
Thank you for the honest and accurate opening rant on Patek. It’s a great brand with great watches but c’mon… the bro hype & prices are ridiculous. And the AP “Code” jabs were fantastic 🙌🏻
Good Cartier hitchhikers guide to the galaxy and Star Wars reference keep em coming😅
Really looking forward to the video on your ceramic frog collection! That pick n mix Patek movement is insane, not to mention the Omega, but my favourite is the Cartier
Blue is my favorite color. Great color of blue on the merch
The Tag Heuer Carrera Caliber 02 Chronograph GMT is pretty perfect in my opinion.
Andrew slaying with the writing
I like the Breguet Marine Royale Alarm.
I don't know about 'Best Watches' but that narrative had me in stitches 😂
The line about the pay by the cup pick and mix got me to subscribe 😂
Awesome video...one of your very best yet Andrew...each timepiece a grail and verbally delivered with the deft agility of a Robin Williams comedic evening's entertainment! Great stuff!
Thank you!
Very entertaining, thank you!
“Since Stockton Rush reached the end of the toilet paper” OMG that’s cold but hilarious.
The JLC is mind blowing.
I liked the Douglas Adam’s reference: “like a brick doesn’t”
The writing here is just next level, bravo.
It's trying too hard.
Very interesting and entertaining 👍🏻
Mann. That was poetry. Also a bucket list 😅
Liked the Douglas Adams Hitchhikers guide ref (In much the same way as bricks don't).
Breathlessly fabulous presentation, with more subtly-hilarious side-references than the dots on the radar screen in *99 Luftballons* . But, let's get super-obscure here: speaking of music, was that quip at 19:50 a reference to Haircut One Hundred? (Oh, the watches? The crazy Speedy repeater, of course.)
Thank you, but 'fraid not 😞
@AndrewMorganWatches Didn't think so, just had to ask. 😀
Top Watch Brands But No Vacheron Constantin? A Lange&Sohne? Breguet?
Dammit, now I want a stroopwafel
Stroopwafel is not if, but when
Loved the Terry Pratchett quote at 13:35
Douglas Adams
You are a master in word scrambling,movie references and knowledge! You are the pinnacle of youtube watch geeks ❤
That reverso still makes my head spin
Tudor offers the random jumping-date GMT complication. Such a complex function that no other watchmaker has been able to duplicate.
🤣
Tag heuer v4 - especially my platinum v4
Love your humor. Keep it up👍🏻👍🏻😂
Great vid! ‘Making the complex simple ‘ is a true art, and for once, Rolex did that amazingly well with the Sky Dweller
LOL "Does the crown pull out more times than a bad Catholic?" I cant haha
Can you do a "personal favorite from each brand" video next? Maybe a podcast colab?
More of this please!
Repeating the Tag intro in the Breitling intro was very British announcer of you.
20:40 😂 he says in a royal blue hoodie, I wonder which team in Scotland Andrew likes 🇬🇧
Awesome video!!!!
The JLC is absolutely beautiful.
Hall of fame video sir. A little early in the year for your year’s best video but on the bright side you can take the rest of the year off. Well done!
😄 Thank you!
In America, we would say you knocked it out of the park. 😊
.
Surely adding that Tudor to this titled video and along side the other watches, was just for humour value.
I’d take the JLC - so cool.
Just great !!!!
Hmmm, what a choice - the chiming Omega Speedster, or a house!!!!! One to live in, the other to do what a mobile 'phone, or a G-Shock, can do! Nice watch, great engineering, but seriously!!!!
You should make one video for more in expensive watches
Love this video. Entertaining and informative.
Would love to have a Vacheron comparison as well.
Look forward to seeing the next one.
More amazing than Darth Mauls light saver going in both directions…..Pulls out more times than a bad catholic. Genius writing😂😂 love the Channel, well done.
I wonder what's your best watch from Vacheron Constantin and Richard Mille?
all that money for the Patek, and they can't even spell Movement right? I'm getting a Hublot
Yachtmaster 2 is more complicated than the skydweller tho. Programmable mechanical memory, programmable 10 minute countdown timer, ring command bezel. Both a flyback and flyforward chronograph with vertical clutch, colomn wheel
The problem with the Yachtmaster 2 is it's uglier than Rosie O'Donnell........
@@TheSlowoldman Agree, except maybe that black one: Custom Black Dial PVD/DLC Coated 116680
Thanks!
Thank you very much!
I could excuse the fact that you didn't put in a bit for the triple split, but I don't understand why the GS Kodo wasn't on the list.
Great! Cheers!
‘Hanging there like bricks don’t.’
Nice Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy reference there.
Anyway, move along…..
This sort of educational/informative content with beautiful visuals is what brought me to the Watchfinder originally. Great video Andrew!

Nice HHGTTG reference.
That Cartier was the most interesting
Wonderful,Andrew. But… “obverse”, not “inverse”. But still a terrific exposition of inventive similes and inspired metaphors.
Oh no... don't mess with the Speedmaster. With a Daniels Co-axial, it's PERFECTION. Leave it alone.
Great video as usual. 😂😂😂 I’ve saved up £31 and can’t wait to buy myself a watch or a 50g packet of rolling tobacco.
Watching this while i'm trying to set something on a cheap Casio, failing miserably... i wonder what i could destroy on these high-end ones!
Style points for correct pronunciation of 'cerebrospinal'.
"Omega wanted this thing to be more nuts than when Nutty the nuthatch nutted into a jar of nutty butter." Brilliant 😂
I'm definitely no watchmaker, nor horological expert, but it's hard for me to believe their is anything more impressive than that JLC. Am I missing anything, or is it just that insane?
Just inconceivable that the Grand Seiko Constant Force Tourbillion isn't included but a pretender like Tag Huer is in. Shocking
Because Grand Seiko is like Lexus compared to these real luxury brands..... minus TH😂
