War Room Desk Tour - A Behind The Scenes Look At My Work Space - Inside The Urban Gentry

  • Every gentleman should have a part of the home to call their own. Many have "man caves", games rooms or even an automotive workshop perhaps. Whatever form and function this space takes, what is important it should be a fun place where you can go to focus on the things you love. For the last two years my space has affectionately become known as "the war room". It is where I work, study, film vlogs and get creative. To ensure inspiration is sparked, I have filled it with many items I collect and hold dear to my heart. In this episode I talk about my many collections, from movies to watches and unveil a newest addition to my King & Country die cast collection.

      I like to read books on things like this in a hierarchical way. First, a historical book up to the 20th Century, when the wristwatch was (invented,) then one about basic clock or watch construction, then back to the modern history of things (the 20th Century and the future of horology) then whatever fancy's you- specifics, modding, collecting, appraising, specific brands, etc. Cheers

    I have been following your channel for a while and I just want you to know that watching your videos have inspired & motivated me in an immense way. Not only have I learned more about various subjects as horology, style, etiquette & exercise; but I became more productive as well.
    My favorite is your 10 Motivation Life-Hacks Video, I often use this when I feel lazy, and this inspires me to get up and get stuff done. By far my favorite youtube channel!

    • @theurbangentry

      I like Jedidiah's idea. Why not do your top 5 with the caveat to also include 3 more that came close and are worth mentioning. With this... you will have some room to include close contenders that you can't really decide.

    Hi TGV,
    Great video. Interesting to see the layout of your office. I agree it should be place where you have items that reflect your personality and tastes and inspire you as much as surrounding yourself with resources pertaining to work. Whether one works from home or in the workplace of an organisation. Particularly when one considers how much time is spent in the office these days - they have literally become second homes.
    Funny, I have that exact same samurai armour in my office.

    Yes please do a collection review of your movies. Of course the main topic of these watches but it's always nice to talk about other gentry subjects. Would very much like to know your experience when you lived in Barcelona, Firenze and London and all of the other places you visited, since I love travelling.
    Great episode Tristano, keep up the good work!

  • @getoffmylawn8986

    I'm glad you did this video, for two reasons: First, I've always wondered what the stories are behind so much of your goodies I keep catching glimpses of, and second, when you're not reviewing gorgeous, high end watches, my impending divorce and bankruptcy is put off for a little longer. Wife doesn't get the watch addiction!

  • @orion2280
    @orion2280 7 років тому

    Thanks for the quick tour TVG. I have recently become enamored with the Grandfather Clocks at my local clock shop, but most are 8,000 or more. I have seen quite a few vintage wall clocks on ebay though that are affordable. even some with beautiful moon phase on clock face. unfortunately i know nothing about these clocks. so question would be is it possible to see a video showcasing some of these type of wall clocks and what to look for.Just another thing to add to your list i know lol.

  • @CCJ879
    @CCJ879 7 років тому +1

    Hey! Ive heard that its bad to have watches so near the computer, is that true? Cus I always thought the magnetic field generated would mess with the accuracy, so I always ensured my watches are at least some distance away.

  • @EddyWoon
    @EddyWoon 7 років тому +1

    Love your collection of scaled models, especially the tanks. I went through a phase of building the 1:350 battleship kits but didn't have room for a big glass cabinet to display them. So... they sat on my shelf aggressively harvesting dust. Removing dust off the decks of battleships is so much more painful than that of an aircraft carrier.
    It will be great to have your review of your DVD collection too.
