Great line “IWC made these for the RAF, that’s all you need to know”😂.
I just bought my first expensive watch Omega Speedmaster Hesalite. My God its a beautiful piece and everything feels premium.
One of the greatest (may be top 3) watches ever made!
Enjoy! Addictive (and expensive) hobby.
Yes me too.
i,m getting mine at the end of this year Soo excited but the reduced
Congrats. I got mine this year, too. Great watch, but the bracelet leaves a lot to be desired. Too light and an arm hair terror. Switched to a tan perforated leather racing strap. Enjoy your new watch.
The feel and sound of a Reverso clicking into place; the sight of the Zenith Defy second hand zooming round in a second and the precision of the A Lange & Sohne chronograph pushers.
I would include the JLC reverso on this list as a watch that needs to be experienced, particularly the duoface and tribute references, the watchmaker's watchmaker. Yes, I'd also happily sit in a room with this list of watches and talk shop with you Andrew.
personally I think the speedmaster is aesthetically perfect. it's a timeless design that has looked great for 65 years, that in itself is amazing
It just looks so well put together and professional in person.
You were on point with every piece you mentioned. As a Paneristi, I’m pleasantly impressed that you included a PAM in your segment. Keep it up!
Panerai was my gateway into luxury watches. Once I crossed it, there’s no going back.
Fully agree with the Panerai! Small correction, each of us is a Panerista, all together we are Paneristi, the Italian plural ;-)
@@thomaswitthuhn3449 Aahhh… I learned something today! Thanks 😊
I am so glad that you included the VC. I absolutely love that piece and have experienced it a few times.
Fifty years ago, for my tenth birthday, I received my much desired gift - a mechanical watch. Two years later, an LCD digital. My dad told me there were watches that wound themselves just by swinging your arms as you walked, and I was astounded. So, yes - I'd love to experience all of these icons in person please.
Took me a few years in the hobby before getting a Speedy. 6 months ago I bought a new (the latest version) sapphire sandwich on the bracelet. Als bought the fabric strap and deployant while I was at the boutique. I am not merely “experiencing” it. It has become my daily driver. My other watches are getting less and less wrist time. All summer, I rotated different natos. Once fall got here, it’s back on the bracelet. It really ticks so many boxes. Heritage, timeless and gorgeous design, sporty and dressy at the same time (depending on the bracelet or strap), and very well made. I’m smitten.
Love my speedy. Get more beautiful everyday ;). I would add a JLC on your list (reverso) or Cartier. Of the one you present here: Vacheron is the most beautiful one. Such a classic. Pure elegance.
A couple of days ago I visited the Omega museum in Switzerland, I also visited the store, I'm thinking about Moonwatch. One way or another, it is an icon in the watch world
They get a lot of flak for being jewelers now, but Cartier definitely deserves a spot. It has the history and the look.
At first, I wasn't enamored by the look of the JLC Reverso. I steadily fell in love with it. Turning the case and hearing it click is so satisfying. It's an elegant watch.
I love this approach. Not every watch needs to be owned, but there's something about getting a moment with some models in person that can be genuinely enlightening. For years, I wondered what the big deal was with Daytonas. Then I got to try one on and it all immediately made sense. The balance on-wrist is perfect, and the case and bracelet design fit a wrist like nothing else I've ever worn. Despite the weight, it seems to almost disappear whenever you're not looking straight at it. Is that quality worth five-figures? (Un)fortunately that's a question I'll never have to answer.
I never understood people saying the moonwatch is a plain looking watch, it stood out to me when I saw it in goldsmiths
1. Speedmaster Pro cal. 321/1861/3861
2. Speedmaster 125th cal. 1041
3. Vacheron ultra thin cal. 1003
4. Sturmanskie cal. P31659
5. Omega CK 2292 HS/8 cal. 30T2CS
Omega just makes such good watches.
What an absolute masterclass in watches.
This video, sir, is not just a YT video - it's a theatrical performance worthy of a thundering applause
I would love to come and talk about a collection of watches, what a lovely way to spend an afternoon ⌚️🥂🇬🇧
Beautiful video. The macros of the Saxonia are silly beautiful. And of course, great commentary. Well done.
This is an amazing video and I’m so happy you’ve released something so special to watch. I need to see it 2/3 times just to enjoy that amazing dialogue
The corne de vache is the most stunning Watch i have ever held. It is so charismatic and just simply flawless. A watch - and price - to die for
This is SUCH a great video on many levels. But most of all the script. Really interesting and amusing commentary, perfectly delivered over lovely watch photography. The choices themselves will always be subjective But the rationale is sound, and (fwiw) agree with the majority of them. Great job.
I actually had a slight issue with the script for the Navitimer when he said "...and kill you to death" around 9:35. I found "to death" to be superfluous.
@@chiz9906 not every joke will land for every listener.
@@chiz9906 I have a feeling it was superfluous on purpose. 😁
I'd love to come. I love these watches. Have one of them and planning to buy another this month.
Loved this video, what a great selection and yes I would definitely come along to see a nice collection such as this and have a chat……hopefully in Scotland👍
I think I agree in most of those....except I would think a Reverso is a must for an enthusiast. And for Patek, I personally think it has to be a dress complication rather than the Nautilus. I feel like I would have personally snuck in a Zenith Chronomaster for the Heuer
100%
After a long time watching Tier 1 level stuff in this segment. Absolutely masterclass👍 Even though only a fraction of people can manage to get their hands on these watches but the your magic lies in the fact that for the brief moment we all are owning these pieces, imagining them on our wrists.
Love this video, and your approach to talking about the experience of a watch. And what a tease - if you bring your show on the road, I hope you come to Toronto. I'd be there.
I have exactly the same Speedmaster you have here. It’s a pure joy and absolutely love it. The dimensions are pure perfection since it’s face lift although it looks pretty much exactly the same as it did back in 60’s. A timeless classic that’s super cool without the douche bag Rolex problem. Mine is always within 1 second a day and I enjoy winding it up 👌🏼
Douchebag Rolex problem? Query douchebag omega problem?
The omega speedmaster manual wind display back moonwatch is absolutely beautiful. It wasn’t on my radar but the moment I saw it I knew I had to have it.
Perfectly listed! But I would add a Jaeger Lecoultre Reverso and an AP Royal Oak ... But I really enjoyed this video, keep it up! 👋👋
The Speedmaster Pro is the only watch design that I’ve never tired of in the thirty years since I first discovered them. It still excites me when I see one on someone else’s arm out in the wild. Even if I’m wearing mine at the time.
I own 30 or so collectible watches. This includes some rare speedsters and my basic Moon Watch gets worn 10x more than any of the others. There is a perfection in it's modesty.
Glad I have all of this in my collection 😂
Another presentation that’s a joy to the eyes and ears. (Personally I’d replace the number 2 selection with a Jaeger LeCoultre Reverso tribute to 1931)
Loved this video! Yes, I would definitely love to try these and many more watches.
Very interesting showcase: to see and discuss in person would be extremely interesting. So hard to get the true on-wrist experience through a screen- no matter how good the presentation! Thanks as always for the great content!
Well that's a 10 watch collection to get the juices flowing! And yes I'd love to be in a room listening to the discussion of why "that" shouldn't be in and why "this" should.
Love this channels videos!!
Cartier Santos is a "must" as well. Regarding Rolex, maybe a date just with the iconic Cyclops date window I believe reflects better the brand.
I want to hear more about that exciting paper clip/paper thickness conference. I laughed out loud. You kept the same tone in delivery. Hilarious. 😂 Great video. I might be sold on the Omega. Love the black dial.
WoW what a collection it would be 🤩 yeah having them in a room and chatting about watches would be absolute bonkers 👌
Good list!
I would add these five watches:
1- Rolex Submariner
2- Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Duoface
3- Audemars Piguet Royal Oak
4- Rolex Daytona
5- Ressence Type 3
I’d love to be able to try all those masterpieces and discuss it with you! Great idea!
Amazing video like all the others! I also think that vintage pieces from one, if not all, of these brands could/should be experienced! They did it different back in the days.. worse.. but a lot of soul. Keep up the good content!
I have a Snowflake and Carrera Calibre 16. Both are fine selections for this list and I'm very happy with both. I wore my Tag to a car show this morning.
Absolute GOLD video!!! Finally a list I can 100% agree with. Thank you for doing the shopping for me. I would love to know how much the lot would cost? You are so funny and entertaining. “Paper clip seminar” lol. IWC comment, lol!! The VC has to be my favorite. Absolutely STUNNING
YES! I would come to see These watches and chat with you..
Great video. I completely agree with you.
I’d definitely would chat about all those pieces with you sir. I tried on the moonwatch and loved it since
Tag Heuer Monaco. First automatic chronograph, just need a few more grand to get one!
Loved this video! I am fairly new to this obsession, but my tastes are right there with the watches presented here. I’m trying to get my first Vacheron! So many to choose from! A Lange and Sohne is next too!
Great video! My alternative to the Saxonia would be the Breguet Classique 5157 for another variation on that classic simplicity. Would love to join for a chat and give the opinion of a medical student too deep in debt to afford any of these pieces 😂
Love my Speedys . .
A great video. Nice to see one of these videos again.
Another excellent vid from the talking hands! Loved the selection. And it was a nice touch to put the lange next to the gs at the end…😏
Ever since I read about the "Original Moon Watch" a couple years ago, I have lusted after it every time I see it. And I know that one day I will bite the bullet and make a new home for one. Hell, I already bought a bike that cost me almost $6000, who cares it cost me almost as much as my current car did? Great video!
Excellent video! Could not be better.
Absolutely....it would be part of the amazing experience.. enjoying the company and the watches.
Great selection brother, well done!!!
Another great video guys and I agree with this list!
Yes, I would join you guys for a chat about these, & other, watches. Nice video.
I laughed aloud several times during this excellent presentation. Thank you!
Я не знаю английский язык . Но благодаря современным технологиям смог открыть для себя англоязычный ютуб .
Это конечно здорово )))
И вот , что хочу вам сказать - это лучшее видео из всех про часы которые я видел !
Лайк обязательно !
Absolutely brilliant video!! The VC is stunning. I have to agree with 7 of those pieces. Just tell me where to meet you!!!
Wow! Just added the VC Historiques Cornes De Vache to my grail list. Stunning!
Haha I love your figures of speech! So colorful! Great watches, thank you
Love the great watch content
Before you even said the words Armstrong and Aldrin I was saying it! We where exactly on the same page with the Speedmaster, you really need to look at it through another pair of eyes to really understand this amazing timepiece!
I would definitely go to chat with you about watches! Love ya! The watch I think everyone should try is the Longines Spirit it’s so beautiful 😍 my favorite piece in my collection.
The Panerai seems perfect.
Thanks for your amazing camera work.
It must be very capable equipment and operator to capture the details in the video.
No doubt I would go!! Best content on YT
Now that’s a collection! 👌
Gorgeous video. Amazing script. Captivating watches. Beautifully done.
great list, fun to see those beauties!. Im sure if you had to make it a top 15 instead of top 10, that perhaps the easily affordable Bulova Spaceview might have been added as well as something not so affordable by Breguet, Bovet and Girrard Perregaux.
Man the writing of these videos is absolutely unmatched. (Insert paper clip joke here😂)….the video is just the icing on the proverbial watch cake! Simply brilliant
I just got my first Carrera and I'm happy to see it here :)
I would most definitely love to come and see them! P.S. A great video ... thanks!
Great video. If you got those watches in a room, I’d definitely come along for a chat and a try.
The OMEGA Speedmaster was my first watch as and AF pilot! Fond memories!
This is an absolute great selection of watches! Would be a great joy to see all these in reality, feel them, compare them and talk about their characters and uniqueness...
Wow I mean just wow. The way you spoke about the A Lange Söhne was the best pitch I've ever heard
Yes yes and yes, I would absolutely come to try on these watches
Yes. Yes I will come and chat about those watches - that would be awesome!!!
It will be impossible to please everyone but I think this is a great selection. I’d change a few though. The oyster perpetual is a little dull and I’d leave it out. The 5711 I’ve tried on and was so underwhelmed. I’m so glad you didn’t include the Royal Oak either. I’d have the Cartier tank or JLC reverso there and the GMT master II pepsi on a jubilee bracelet there as well
Chatting watches is wonderful and to do so with the best watches and the most knowledgable people would be a privilege
well done on the list
I absolutely love the narration!!!!! 😂
Would be there in a heartbeat, sir!
Bravo 🎉Great list & the rationals 🎉🎉🎉
Loved this! I would suggest a Black Bay 58 as well within this list. If you do put all of these watches in a room and send an invite to talk about them, you bet I'll see you there.
I have a sapphire sandwich and whenever people ask me how much it costs and are then surprised and ask why spend so much, my answer is always some variant of “NASA issued these watches to the guys they sent to the moon and it played a critical role in the crew of Apollo XIII getting home safely (the anniversary editions of those watches were always my favorites aside from the Apollo XVII one wherein the patch is the dial)” such a great conversation piece among my zoomed colleagues.
That VC is just stunning
“The seminar was fascinating”…😂😂 great line
Amazing videography
Yes please. I’d love to come and visit 👍
Enjoyed the video! Hilarious!!!
I’m a space enthusiast and obviously a watch enthusiast so I’ve had many speedmasters. I’ve always owned one since I became serious. Now I don’t own any. They’re awesome but I found myself fatigued wearing them. I lost that loving feeling and they were pricey space memorabilia. I do agree you have to experience and or own one during your watch collecting experience. I’ve owned seven of the ten brands mentioned, some the same watch in the video. My prize piece is a Lange but the 1815 three hander in rose gold. No VC or Patek. Can’t afford those. I would love to try a Nautilus but wouldn’t want to own one (probably). A suggestion you ask? A Cartier Santos. That’s an icon steeped with history and if you get the right size for your wrist, it’s an incredible add to the collection.
Loved this video; you had me thinking I absolutely need a Navitimer to actually work things out… at least for a bit. Keep up the good work.
Rolex? Omega. Beautiful!
Interesting choosing the Carrera over the Monaco. I’m surprised to see a Heuer in here at all, pleasantly, but the Monaco is the star of Heuer’s catalog, past and present, in my eyes. Also, I don’t begrudge the Panerai for being simple; I do, however, feel slightly insulted at a $5,200 price tag for a watch with no seconds hand (and charging $500 to get one). I’ve handled and tried on many Panerai watches and while they’re undoubtedly well made, their charms are simply lost on me. No offense to the Paneristi out there, everyone’s different, but they’re just not for me at their current sizing and pricing.
Agree, all great pieces. However, the Moonwatch is a must.
