Tim Mosso and Brian Govberg return to Thursday morning with a Geneva-themed discussion of leading luxury watch brands. Today’s watches are built exclusively by watchmakers located in the city of canton of Geneva. Dress watches, sports watches, major brands, and independent horology are represented as we share our favorites with Watchbox’s global audience of watch collectors.
Brian’s selections include major names in the luxury watch marketplace. Leading the line is the Rolex Yacht-Master with the Oysterflex strap-bracelet. Launched in 2015, the Yacht-Master 116655 incorporates Rolex’s rubber strap, a rose gold case, and the Yacht-Master family’s first ceramic bezel insert.
F.P. Journe builds both Brian’s personal Chronometre a Resonance and today’s Octa Reserve de March from Watchbox’s inventory. This 38m rose gold automatic includes a power reserve complication and the discontinued brass Octa caliber 1300 from pre-2004 Journe production. Finally, Brian names the Patek Philippe World Time Moon 5575 as his favorite watch on today’s program. This white gold limited edition of 1,300 pieces was the standout model during Patek’s 2014 175th anniversary celebration.
Tim’s choices are further from the mainstream than Brian’s but reflect his passion for undiscovered value. The Laurent Ferrier Galet Traveller Cloisonne Enamel is 41mm of white gold fire. This travel time automatic includes a lavishly finished caliber 230 with a three-day power reserve, double-direct impulse “natural” escapement, and a fired enamel dial depicting the North and South Atlantic geographies. Tim names the Laurent Ferrier as his favorite watch of the day.
A Vacheron Constantin Medicus Skeleton Chronograph offers rarity and hand-craftsmanship at the highest level. The 37mm platinum limited edition of 30 pieces includes a hand skeletonized and engraved Lemania chronograph movement that begins life almost identical to that in an Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch.
Finally, Tim showcases a Chopard L.U. Chopard Regulator from the Quattro series. This 39.5mm limited edition of 250 pieces in rose gold includes both Geneva Hallmark finishing and a COSC Swiss chronometer certification. For additional technical interest, this multi-complication includes a power reserve indicator, a second time zone, and guilloche dial cut on a rose lathe.

I love to see Brians watches! Its so interesting to see a well worn luxury time piece, adds so much more character. That Journe is a beauty.
Tim is always fun to listen to and that is a lovely collection
"Big, beautiful bevels." Alliteration is strong with this one.
An impeccable selection of incredible timepieces. Well done guys!
Love Brian’s Resonance and the Reserve de Marche (and I usually prefer Platinum FPJs.). And that might be my favorite PP World Time too. As for the VC, the hand-engraved, open-worked movement is next level cool and, as Tim said at the end, just dense enough to obscure your wrist hairs, which when visible through a movement to me means it was over-skeletonized.
Just love the high quality watch talk you and Brian bring to the table Tim.
Thanks for that.
BTW, today I'm with Brian the Patek Philippe World Time Moon 5575 is probably the coolest worldtime version ever😍
Best,
Amintas
I love how you had a variety of brands for this episode. Great show Tim and Brian! Every time I see that Laurent Ferrier I smile even bigger with that 3D world dial. Such a artistic marvel so I agree you choice Tim! 😍
Tim always gets excited about the extra power reserve the reserve de march doesnt cater for.
Superb presentation of grail watches. Thank You both for the history lesson and thoughts. Stay healthy and safe. VC. Amazing wrist Art.
keep it up with masks, even if there are haters in the comments. i have no problem whatsoever understanding what you guys are saying.
excited for the show, will watch now
The Yamazaki in the back: one of the world's finest whiskys!
Guys, I understand that you’re a business but I sometimes feel you always find positive things to say about your stock when you clearly either dislike or wouldn’t recommend or buy the piece. It’s ok to qualify your opinion with “it’s not for me” and then give your honest opinion.
nah
This show should have been called “The Ex Wives” episode, considering how great the watches look initially, but later on how expensive it would be to fix and the shattered dreams left afterwards.
Double H H It would be interesting if Tim and Brian would mention repair costs and turn around times on watches like Journe and Lange. The initial costs don’t impress me. The collector’s willingness to pay for upkeep, wait for the timepiece , and have the discipline / patience to deal with these folks does impress me.
Nice asymmetrical design on the Journe face.
Great looking pieces
Except the Vacheron 🤮
@@apegrasshoplizard haha
Great video, I would have liked it more if you included the prices of the watches featured.
Hello. love your content. Could you do a review of the sector dial JLC. I think it might be a limited edition. Blue hands. awesome looking piece! want to buy one but can't find any on chrono24 or other favorite sites.
Great gig again chaps! wot wot!
Looks like Brian's strap is being scuffed by something on the case at the 12 position.
How many times did Brian interrupt?
Good review.
Brian . Good comments about legibility when it comes to skeleton dials.
Idk, I just can never get behind engraved skeleton dials like that. There's just something about them that makes them look cheap to me. Maybe I've seen too many cheap, Chinese specials with skeleton dials and crappy engravings that it's kind of ruined the whole motif to me.
Different..... 🥃

What's with the mask hate on here? There are many reasons for wearing masks right now (regardless if you believe they work or not), one I can think of is, if it's a government/state mandate and you own/operate a business and do not abide by the laws/regulations in place and one of your employees contracts CV19 (possibly death ensues or spreads to others where death ensues) then your ass and your business are at risk legally, really the ramifications could be severe.
Just an idea, but could Tim wear a different watch that you guys are selling every episode? It’s so important to see the wrist presence. Kinda of sick of seeing the Sinn. Sorry!! Maybe it’s a paid advertisement. Tim, your are best at what you do!
Brian, what are you wearing today? "A mask".
A nice collection of watches. But sorry guys, that Chopard is just ugly and very dated looking, that’s why it’s underrated. Out of all of them, for me there are two winners...the Patek and the LF you both chose as your favorites.
It is borderline ridiculous to see you wearing masks and listening to your muffled discussion !!!
If it is for the purpose not to spread the virus then you should wear the surgery cloves aswell... as exchanging watches.
The watches are cool and good talk about them.
Looking forward to sept.1 Rolex releases... happy days to you !
If you constantly wash your hands there is no real need for gloves, and even if you do wear gloves you still need to constantly wash your hands. Masks on the other hand there is no substitute for if you want to be within reasonable proximity of others.
ABC123 mouth vapour can easily carry 8 meters. Has been proven in experiment.
Mouths work for containing mouth droplets to infected people.
They're doing it to protect the other people in the studio and the office as they've said 100 times to morons like you. Maybe get a hearing aide because I didn't have a single issue understanding anything that was said.
@@watchesandcaps2566 Thank you for explaining so quite honestly to your fellow moron like yourself... I will continue to watch this with my hearing aid turned up in high volume, still sounding muffled though.
Cheer up and remember always to wear a face mask in public areas.
@austin rosin second time to act on my freedom of speech...
Looking forward to sept. 1st
Sub. no date blue in SS ?!?
The Rolex Yachtmaster (and any modern Rolex) is pedestrian in this company.
Masks... Seriously
A cinema with your stupid masks and you pass the watches from hand to hand!
Soap and water?
You're a class A moron. It's clearly for the other people in the studio and the office.
@austin rosin
You poor moron who believes everything the propaganda media say.
Submissive clown.
Be careful, but your useless and ridiculous mask.
@@watchesandcaps2566
The other people in the studio!
How many meters?
You are completely subject to fear of the media.
Poor sheep.
Masks are almost as ridiculous as the sunglasses. Which, let’s face it, Tim wears for one of two reasons; either to hide his bald patch at the front or to try and make his cuboid shaped noggin appear more spherical 🤷🏻♂️
You seem like a very nice person
Why the hate? Did Tim smash your wife or something?
Nice work again boys. The slower pace with fewer pieces is a refreshing change of pace. That Yachtmaster caught my eye, best looking one I've seen. All that black seems to balance out the gold really well.
You're a loser.
@@mikejones-dx8bx Don't start Mikey. We all know those rumours about you being phisted with Deep Sea Sea Dweller are true!
Man you guys are really going in on the team. Ferocious I mean. I know times are hard, but chillax fellas. Sheesh.
What are you talking about?
