    The JLC “no dead time” on the minute repeater, is a mechanism that allows the watch to chime hours and minutes without a gap when the quarter hour chime is not needed, such as 14:09. Great video, more of the duo please!

    Love the video. Ming Watches are amazing. They've been going for a while, they were founded by photographer Ming Thein. Secondly, I love that you picked the Chronomaster Sport, such an amazing release from Zenith. I just think it looks way better than the Daytona. In addition to that both the Breitling Premier Heritage Chrono and the Black Bay Chrono are beautiful. The Breitling is just as beautiful as they get, it has that Vacheron or PP Chrono look to it and the BB Chrono is just like Mark mentioned, it's going to be Tudor's Daytona, only that it looks better than the Daytona. Onto the astronomically high priced JLC Reverso, what a beautiful pice that one. Just incredible, super complex but elegant. Next is the Patek 5236-P. This one is just understated luxury at its fines. Such an amazing complication as it is an annual calendar and make it look so simple, almost Calatrava-esque is just amazing. And last, bit not least the Naoya Hida watch. They make incredibly beautiful watches. If you like that one, you should check Kurono watches. They are another microbrand from Japan, and they make beautiful watches.

    Don’t know if anyone’s mentioned it yet, but the dead time avoidance function is for the minute repeater. If for example the time it 10:10, the minute repeater would chime 10 times for the hours, then instantly chime 10 times for the minutes. Most minute repeaters would have a space of “dead time” where the 15 minute double chime would normally fit in, but would not chime before the 15 minute mark. I hope that clears it up, purely convenience for those that get bored with their minute repeaters between hours and minutes between X:00 and X:14

    Hi TGV! You will be pleased to know that your channel helped inspire me to purchase my first semi-luxury watch and the only one I have ever paid more than $50 for: a Citizen Promaster GMT diver, which wasn't quite what I was looking for but was VERY close. I absolutely love it. Thanks!

  • @Ballacha
    @Ballacha 3 роки тому +18

    "dead time avoidance" refers to a function in the minute repeater. in your typical minute repeaters, a time like "3:01" would sound like "bong bong bong, silence, ding". the "silence" is from quater chime not chiming because "3:01" is less than 15 minutes past 3 o'clock. this big brain reverso gets rid of the awkward quater chime silence when you operate the minute repeater when the minute hand is between 0 minute and 15 minute of every hour.

  • @coleseitz4666
    @coleseitz4666 3 роки тому +1

    The dead time avoidance system stops the long pauses that can happen with minute repeaters for certain times. This makes it more enjoyable to listen to, and also stops accidental breakage of the movement in restarting the system prematurely.

    Ill be honest, ive been subbed to urban gentry since the beginning, but i kind of fell off the wagon a year or so ago. These collaborations are a breath of fresh air and i love how two have dichotomous reasons to come to the same final results. Its almost annoying watching watch videos like this from other people because they always wind up being sycophants to either luxury or uber value; while completely bashing the other. The only other watch channel i think can do this appreciation for watches as watches, while respecting horology while at the same time appreciating great value pieces the everyman can enjoy is teddy. Id really think a cool collab with him about serious discussions would be super cool too. But as it stands these videos are great; i had them on as background noise for a few hours and my wife wound up listening in and enjoying you guys as well. And... shes definitely not a watch person! So good job guys, this is great and refreshing content and reinvigorated my enjoyment of the channel. Cheers!

    • @JgHaverty

      Yes. Buy the watch you fall in love with. I too have bought one I never thought I would - until I saw it "across the room" 🙂

    I do agree…White Dial divers are awesome. The Islander MONSTER on Marc’s left arm will be arriving here today! I saw it, and had to own it. The white and blue mix is really gorgeous together.
