  • Welcome to the brand new Urban Gentry war room in New York City! It's been a work in progress post-move, and I'm so excited to share it with you! Join me for a tour inside my new studio where it all happens, from watch designing to shooting cool new content for UA-cam, and the occasional but always thrilling visit from our very own Hollywood A-lister-slash-luxury watch connoisseur HRH Hugo Mountbatten. In this video I share my new setup, including the watches I currently have in rotation, tech gear I use to make my videos, art and movies that both inspire and feature in many of my videos, and special horological and historical gifts I've received from you, the good Gentry out there. I also share some cool watch related art and vintage ads, and discuss watches from Omega, Patek, Rolex, Bulova, Accutron, Seiko, and Universal Geneve, which is not only my #wristwatchcheck for the day but also a watch I reviewed last year that quickly became a favorite in heavy rotation. Check the links below for a video of the Universal Geneve White Shadow unboxing and items in this video. What do you think about the new War Room? Let me know in the comments!

    Love it TGV! One thing we did working from home is buy a door seal kit with a bottom U shaped seal. These kits are cheap and removable so fine for apts. and block more than half the sound when the door is closed! As you may know anywhere you can see light travels through sound has a free path also. Cheers!

    Probably one of my favourite UA-cam channels, but I'm confused with the hatred given to replica watches, how do you justify a replica chair?

  • @AET2433
    @AET2433 21 день тому +1

    Another extremely enjoyable watch. Excellent to see Cobra get a mention and had no idea he wore the Heuer 1000. I only recently saw that Keanu Reeves wears the black version in Point Break and then obviously Leonardo Di Caprio the gold in Wolf of Wall Street. It really is an iconic movie watch. Already looking forward to the next video.

    Fantastic new war room, Tristano! I love the little Art Deco touches around the place. I would have the entire house Art Deco if I could, but then I would be divorced soon after. Oh, the sacrifices one must make! I look forward to many new videos from the new TGV HQ!

    Tgv, it's Tony. Been a long time since I commented. Came back home and, with the UK time, I always watched your vids the following day. Didn't comment since it always seemed to be early morning over there so you won't see. Taking a gamble and hoping you will see this though. I did it. First I thought it will be the navi. Then I knew it's the Cartier Santos. Thought it might be black lacquer but I tried the green medium and was just smitten. I couldn't have done this without you. Well remember you and the gentry whenever I check the time. Some dreams really do come true. Love the new war room and excited to see this new era of the Urban gentry. O&u!
