I just cannot stress enough how entertaining your content is

Way to go guys it feels like you are really enjoying what you do
The Calatrava is the only Patek I like, but I would have gone for the Vacheron Fiftysix instead. All the heritage at less than half the price.
The 56 finishing is closer to a Rolex than a Patek though. Patrimony traditionnelle is the real answer. However, these days I'm no longer into watch investment. I bought two homes, one in Malibu and the other in California, spent a total of $24 million, and the return on investment is crazy-far better than collecting watches for me.
How did you grow your money to $24m, I'm impressed, I have a lump sum i don"t want to leave it in the bank, whats your cash flow like?
I have a financial advisor (trader) she grows my liquid assets, and I reinvest the weekly payouts back into real estate.
Great move, please can you share her with me, or maybe her name so I could search for her online, thanks

Night Birch fanboy here. Can't wait for the Spring Drive version to order one.

I'd swap the Saxonia moonphase for the Ultra Thin, picked the Longines Master Collection Chronograph instead of the normal moonphase and the Explorer 1 instead of the Submariner.

Andrew and Tom, such lovely repartie and script - brilliant , and a helpful video
I'd definetly add one of the new electrostatic Accutrons. They are still first gen tech with all that brings with it (servicing only in Japan, ginormous size dictated by the movement being made up of technology never thought possible at the size, strict (though arguably innovative) power management, ...) but they look truly amazing and if we consider Spring Drive the next step in the evolution after Mechanical and Quartz, I'd argue that electrostatic is the step after that. The silky smooth sweep (I have yet to see one next to a Spring Drive but as it stands I could be convinced that it is, as unbelievable as that might be, slightly smoother than the already amazing tech by Grand Seiko), the electrostatic turbines generating power via movement, that electrostatic motor, all put on display with no attempt to hide it are pure poetry. It is nerdy, but in the best way, not just pushing the envelope of what was thought technologically possible, but also celebrating it. The second they get one even close to wearable for my tiny wrists, I will fork over the cash.
Also, hard to say whether this still constitues your definition of Luxury in the watch space, but maybe a Junghans Max Bill, just for being, as far as I am aware, the only watch currently in production that doesn't just talk about being "minimalistic" and "bauhaus-inspired" but has actual credentials dating back to that art school/innovation factory/never ending party. Minimalism is often adopted, both by new up-and-comers and established players, but most just ape it without understanding the minutiae. The Max Bill, in my humble opinion, does this better than anyone else, most likely simply due to the architect and namesake behind it.
You, sir, have excellent taste.
Only pushback is the size of the watch for this 1st generation. I own a 214 and am waiting for an improved design / size.
Tudor

I have both the 2022 models, the seamaster 300 black on rubber strap and sub date. I cant say which I like more. They both compete for wrist time. Omega is more fun and dial is something to look at, Rolex has a bit more elegant look. Omega is extremly accurate, rolex just really solidly made with great strap. Every one has its own advantages. I really loved the first watch in the video, the Longines, lovely dial and amazing price.
Accuracy is overrated. My most accurate watch is a Mido Commander 1959 Chronometer. I have set it 8 days ago and still shows the same time as the reference.
I would take any JLC or A. Lange over a PP now.
I generally have no problem with any of your choices, but for JLC I would have picked a Master Control model, not the Polaris. Also, I would have selected Panerai above Tag Heuer. Aside from that, great picks!
Tag Monaco is a total shocker.
Completely agree - what a classy watch the JLC Master Control is! Even the JLC Reverso (Duoface or otherwise) would have been a better choice, imo.
@@petrolhead007 I have tried the Polaris on in store and I think it would pleasantly surprise you. It is way better than it looks in photos. The Control and Duoface are awesome as well. Dressier though.

I love my Pagani - all four of them…..
They are incredibly good for the price range. Love my „Royal Oak“
You forgot the omega Aqua terra. Lovely.
Owww.... that Calatrava. So much elegance, so much understatement. Great list!
I must be one of the only people who don’t like rolex … even the famous submarina… I went for the Seamaster 300
How can you not have the Santos in this list, but a Tag Monaco?! That’s truly egregious from you guys…

Congrats dude
Monaco!!!!! Yes, Indeed! This Brietling- just pretty overall.
When will Omega get rid of the awful Helium escape valve? I don’t know how they would come up with it in the first place. It totally ruins their watches.
Grand Seiko has been up and coming for a long while now. Grand Seiko can no keep making the mistakes and ride on this narrative given some of their shortcomings in the brand. Fix those bracelets and give us a proper extension for example. You are no longer young and upcoming now that you are middle-aged!
Actually, I've just bought a GS white birch as I've been eyeing that dial for over a year now, but yes the Night birch does bring about a different character. Thought the JLC master control deserves the place over the Polaris, though both are nice.
Will your wife come back on and do one for women? I usually just shop the smaller end of mens watches. But I'd love an opinion for womens watches specifically.
Zenith Defy EL PRIMERO 21 should be at top of this list
Rolex for the common man. Omega for the gentleman.
I'll probably get some ire here, but - as much as I like clean design and minimalism - the Calatrava did age, and not that great.
Movado Museum is so similar, even has the same proportions - and pulls of the look well, because if you do minimalism wrong it ends up simplistic and flat.
How about a "Top Ten" watches from companies that no longer exist? Or no longer exist in their original form?
What about a review of companies which don’t exist as well?
Universal Geneva comes to mind

I love JLC and I'm no fanboy of Rolex, but by god the Submariner without a date window works so much better than the Polaris with that mismatched white date windown on a black/anthracite dial and cream indexes. Sometimes less truly is more. Just a comment on the watches shown not the brands as a whole, before the flame wars commence.
I really love watches thanks for this awesome video
Not to wear when you are in Holland! Otherwise you will lose it. I recommend a casio or a Vostok.
Although the JLC Polaris is lovely, I'd say if you were to buy just one JLC it'd have to be the Reverso.
My dream watch is a genuine Heuer Monaco, not the TAG version.
What about hublot and Audemars Piguet?
Jlc reverso? Agree on the Calatrava but need crown guards for me. 😉
I would add the Tudor black bay GMT to this list. Beautiful watch that has history, is made for those who love travelling(like me), and comes at a good starting price.
Good choice. Wearing mines on a jubilee bracelet. Worth every penny
Please, stop pushing the Tudor to TOP watch brands. I can understand that with an almost unlimited budget for advertisement ("influencers" included) and BIG brother behind them, the watches are gaining popularity - especially when you can buy them. But do they belong to TOP brands? Definitely not.
@@TomasLonga nooo don’t tell people the truth lmaoo
I love my Tudor. But it is NOT a luxury watch. It is a tool watch, set for a particular purpose. Rolex is a luxury brand. So is Patek, AP, Vacheron, Lange, ad nauseam. But Tudor is a real watch for dealing with real situations. It is not a luxurious experience to buy or wear one. And that is a damn good thing.
Longines is luxury and Tudor is not? 🤯
If I were rich, my 3 watch collection would be Rolex Explorer, Tag Heuer Monaco, Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean
Who asked you?
Santos should of made to the list IMO 🤷
Omega uffffffff 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Longines? Mama Sawtch wants no competition with Omega. They can write "heritage" or "master" as they like; but a good vintage Longines or Omega is far more refined.

Love this channel
Panerai Ulysses nardin please
not disputing the prestige status, but i would rather leave patek off the list. i would have made a second list where patek ap and vc were all on the same list as they are widely viewed as the holy trinity brands that are always in the same conversation. maybe put a cartier santos, or some breguet, zenith, or a panerai. also i love longine but its maybe below these brands so i would have that switched out as well.
A dream list! Though I would include cartier santos in place of the tag, and either master thin / reverso in place of the polaris.
O man all beautiful pieces why are we in this stupid hobby!
How do you define luxary watches? Do you not consider F. P. Journe and Phillip Dufour to be luxary enough? Besides JLC reverso is way more popular as well as historically significant than other JLCs. Similarly, bulgari octo finissimo and zenith defy series are absolute technological masterpieces. Talking about Patek Phillip, their perpetual calendars have nothing comparable.
Your list can be qualified as as luxury watches that you can wear everyday. Then I completely agree with it.
Guys! You're doing a great job 👏😊.
Please 🙏 do me and as well others a favor, and kindly add in your description a list of the watches you discussed.
It will be helpful should one want to do more research online and/or find it in your store.
Keep up the good job 👍😊
Thanks
Can you make a similar video for women?
I swear the happiness I feel when #nkuwan uploads a video is beyond!!!!
Tudor BB58 should have been in Tags spot
Am i suppose to sell my AP and Tudor?
NO. You have exceptional taste. 👏
Jaeger lecoultre the best.

My favourite thing about this list is that there’s not a Tudor to be seen. Just as it should be 👍🏻 #alliswell #blandbay
AP , Cartier , Vacheron Constantin , Girard Perregaux 🤔
I'm a huge fan of the Longines Master Collection L2.893.4.09.6 . Looks stylish, only 2250€.

no love for a cartier santos?
MARINMASTER 300
You had me until Tag Heuer. The only one you had to pull out the real watch from Heuer to make work. That should have been a red flag.
Yep, I agree, I think about a lot of them, actually own the Omega, but unless I win the lottery, thinking about them is all I will be doing at the prices they command!
I'd swap out the Breitling for a Cartier Santos
Unpopular opinion: This is a great list but it is very meh. Every option shown is so traditional. truly wished it comprised more contemporary designs and chronometry innovations that better appeal to the current gen and have potential to become the APs, Rolex and Pateks of the future. From zenith chronomaster/defy to bulgari finissimo/chrono gmt and even armin strom's resonance, pf tonda skeleton.. And there is so much more in between. I recognize there will always be nostalgia for heritage but that shouldn't solely drive the narrative for the next gen of collectors and trailblazing watchmakers.. pls teach us to spot greatness when we see it
I know this is blasphemy and call me crazy, but I'd take a Lange over a Patek all day every day. Except for the Tiffany Nautilus of course.
No blasphemy but good taste and common sense. Lange is superior in art and craftsmanship
I really love the omega aqua terra for some reason... but i still think rolex is the daddy of them all
Agree. I have several of the "standards" on this list and I am frequently drawn to the Aqua Terra, which will probably be my next watch. It is just so subtle and elegant. My most recent addition was the new Seamaster 300, which is a perfect sort of "timeless" (pun intended) design. But I could have just as happily added an Aqua Terra. I love some of the high contrast colors that just pop off the face of the Aqua Terri.

Cool
Disappointed with tom's JLC choice
Thank God that GS is not spring drive. Spring Drive is not horological advance. It’s a quartz technology essentially and nothing more. GS just focus on Manual and Automatic movements. Quit playing around with toys.
You literally have no idea what you're saying wow! Next you'll say it has a battery?
@@demurgetroid Spring Drive is much much worse than battery watch. I have more respect for Orient Bambino, at least it has a soul instead of IC. If you don’t know what an IC is…look it up!!!

Why isn’t this video ‘Top 10 Rolexes for Men?’
3:52 Walter White approved this choice
Nice list!
For JLC, I think the Polaris Memovox would've been awesome.
For A. Lange Sohne, I think some version of the Lange 1 with its iconic layout would've been a better choice.
And finally, some brands I'm sad to see didn't make the list: Zenith, Breguet, and Blancpain.
The Cartier Tank definitely belongs into the top 10. Absolutely iconic!
Reverso > Tank
Given that Watchfinder is owned by Richemont, it is hard to believe they did not add it.
I'm from Mars. We have no dive watches there because we have no water, so I really don't get the Submariner. Also the moon phase watches seem really dumb - I would get it if you were expats living on Mars and wanted to know what your old moon was doing... but if you're still living there on Earth, can't you just look up into the sky??
Longines - good choice. Moon phase nice, but my suggestion is the 1946 Chrono. A lovely "retro" dial, and the case is beautifully finished/polished.
It is very "handsome", as they'd probably say in the late 40's.
The Monaco is certainly worthy of your choice. Again lovely looking, beautifully finished. (The Seiko "Monaco" from the early 70's is also a really nice chrono. NOT in the "luxury" category, but a very, very good watch.) I wore mine from 1975 every day until 1978, when it was replaced by another (totally different) watch.
Saw a Blancpain Fifty Fathoms in the flesh the other day. Gotta say, that is one beautiful watch. Dare I say it...the prettiest dive watch of them all.
It is really something special.
I’ve been saying this to everyone. Blancpain 50F is the diver’s watch you wanna get if you want to stand out in the Rolex crowd.

Get yur eyes tested
It’s probably boring but I just really like the simplicity of the Rolex perpetual oyster. White dial. Simple. Elegant. Subtle.
A watch, any watch, is by difinition a boring thing.
Yep boring 😃 now that omega mmmmmm
@@safarit678 almost as boring as a person who can't spell...
lots of boring watches then...
@@robertlock6041 so I mistyped. Why the personal attack? Did you invent watches?
And I assume you insinuate I'm exciting 😎
Like that JLC and the Monaco are here. The Rolex should have been the Day-Date. Fifty-Fathoms or Odysseus could have replaced the Submariner or even the BB58 really. Not that the Sub isn't a better watch than the 58, but it just seems pointless at this point. I wish Breguet, Glashütte and F. P. Journe would have made the list. Also Zenith instead of Breitling. Too many "celebrities"
Took one of the Omegas from you guys earlier this year, love, love, love it! Grey dial, looks great when im in a suit or scraggy jeans... stunning 🙂
I wish the Seamaster would lose that He valve. Nobody needs it - not even divers.
1815 chrono. Black dial. The end.
I'm not from Mars but from a nearby planet in the unfashionable end of the western spiral arm of the Galaxy and have to agree with Tom's list. So many great watches but so few wrists. It's great to see the Longines Moon phase there, it's quite an understated watch that looks great in the flesh. I could mention a few others from the brand that might also fit but I won't bore you more than I already have. There were a couple of other surprises in the list as well. A JLC that wasn't a Reverso but the cracking Polaris and the Calatrava and not the usual ones from PP. The only other surprise was that the Submariner was the classic no date version. Well done Tom.

Who asked you?
I'd add the Vacheron Constantin Overseas, especially if Andrew and Tom intend to travel😁☘
To be honest, that moonphase longines looks cheap, because of the dial patterns. I really don't like it. the blue dial looks nice tho
What about the Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch????
In no particular order:
1. Omega Speedmaster
2. Rolex GMT or Datejust
3. Patek Philippe Calatrava
4. Jaeger Le Coultre Reverso
5. A. Lange & Sohne Datograph
6. Grand Seiko Spring Drive Snowflake
7. Cartier Tank or Santos
8. Vacheron Constantin Overseas
9. Audemars Royal Oak
10. Breguet Classique
I own only the Speedmaster and don't have an interest in the majority of them. But they are icons nonetheless.

Longines could do better but I suspect they're kept on a tight leash by Swatch Group so as not to upset the Omega brand position, Their recent Ultra-Chron diver reissue is amazing value for the money. A wide range here which in some case only just makes it to luxury in the accepted sense, but if funds are low a Seiko 5 is a luxury. I'd have included something from Cartier with their resurgence in sales and the JLC should have been a Reverso.

They aren't allowed to compete with Omega. Frankly I think Swatch would benefit a bit if they allowed Longines to flex their muscle more.
I love Omega's use of helium bubbles in their promo. Smart👍
