Far too kind! I’m entirely happy with where I’m at anyway . Currently a super supportive and appreciative group of viewers and I suspect that starts to change when things get bigger
Let’s give Wristwatch Revival a shout out here. He’s top tear when it comes to watch repair. His videos are not only a joy to watch, but I have learned so much and keep learning every video.
Hey joe! Remember when you told borealis they “underestimate your influence in the community” when they declined sending you a free watch in their dm’s? One of my favorite bits of content from you. Cheers!
@@ichris2011 perhaps you missed all the news surrounding Borealis and their “free watch” scandal. I must say, my influence was a tad underestimated indeed. Glad you enjoyed! Cheers 🍻 😁👍
@@Daud76 He's cool too. He makes me want to get into watch repair and restoration. Recently, He made a wall clock with Mayan numbers that I'm planning on trying myself.
@@SomeGuyNamedTex I do not think I have seen that video. What makes me like The Nekkid Watchmaker is his humour and a real family man. Very down to earth and humble.
You're my go-to guy for obscure digital watches. What a great video my dude, lots of good channels. There's this video of a channel named Posy called "Segmented Displays", I'm 110% sure you'll enjoy it. It's an absolute masterclass in digital displays
There's some big names in there. Thank you for the shoutout, certainly unexpected, but definitely appreciated. Categorising channels into groups was a cool touch too.
Red dead restoration is also a good watch restoration channel. I love that it's silent and you can just enjoy seeing the process of restoring beautiful timepieces.
Absolutely never thought I would have been on this list! Many of your choices here I did not know of either. I find your channel fascinating. The level of detail and knowledge you have is exemplary coupled with some very good editing. Even this video has a hint of honour with the hitchhikers guide snippets running through.
@@IlluminatingWatches thank you. Yes the Willard was a real story teller. I have another similar with a Seiko lost in a tank engine! Or making my dream Pogue from parts and aftermarket visuals. I am soon attempting a video on my digital watch collection when I figure out the best way to present them to camera as I think it’s 30+ now
Great video idea, I actually have a similar one in the works that’s on the back burner thanks to me getting distracted by my latest addition to the watch box (more on that later 😅) keep up the great work, looking forward to seeing more from you 👍
I started with Ben's Watch Club and then moved to the affordable+humour categories. Thanks for the history and design tips, I'll surely check them out! And find a good job, because I'd like a Seiko Alpinist...and some nice small date diver...and a bronze piece...and a lume beast...and some dress piece...and a buttload of straps and some bracelets.
@@IlluminatingWatches Thanks, I've already got a Timex Weekender chrono, a solar square G-shock, a sparkling Vostok and a Tisell Fauxplorer, so I have everything a bloke needs, now only to get my life in order so I know how much I can spend on stuff I don't need...
Your channel is one of the very best of this group. You asked us to mention channels you didn't. I can only think of one: the magnificent gshock highfashion, hosted by... an anonymous person. EDIT: I forgot! WATCHES TV! The title is all-caps, like that. Marc André Deschoux, the host, is a real Swiss high-horology insider. Gorgeous high-end watches galore, interviews with movers & shakers. Good stuff.
That is so kind of you thanks. Ah yes I love G-SHOCK high street fashion - totally forgot to mention them! I don’t know watches TV. I will check them out.
I think there is a room for the Just the watch channel, Dave is doing a wonderful job presenting affordable watches and also I would highlight the Brave beaters channel andPeter Kotsa, where the design elements are in focus, giving a more unique perspective to watches
I really like carnagewatches, very cinematic and uses some good macro shots to get close to the watch, love his walkarounds at the end of every review too
Some new channels to check out nice one Gordon! I always watch your videos as soon as they are available usually. That TickSweep channel is pretty chilled quite new though so more to come!!! 😂😅
HELLO FRIEND IN TIME AND MERRY CHRISTMAS ! . I DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT YOU FOR A LONG TIME . I WISH YOU A GOOD ENTRY TO THE NEW YEAR, AND I STILL FIND YOUR CHANNEL VERY INTERESTING, AS WELL ENTERTAINING . ALL THE BEST AND A STRONG HUG. TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF ! 🎅❄️😊👍🏻🙋🏻♂️✨🌲❄️🎅
love how you put them as trading cards! Ah man... I cant believe someone actually googled it LOL... I love that you have Wes's Watch room and Simucom Reviews that also reviews some interesting pieces. You missed the absolute gem that is Aviv from My Affordable watch Collection as well! All of them do superb work.
Just a shout out for a small watch channel Tomas Watch Reviews. He's a nice, down to earth guy from Lithuania, who's focused on budget watches. Also, Budget Watch Reviews - Citizen fan boy (as he calls himself) from the UK. He's one of rare people who often buys and reviews Chinese ultra-budget watches, so we don't have to.
This is a great starting point for people who want to know more about watches! I religiously watch Just One More Watch, Random Rob, TGV and WatchGringa. And recently I have gotten into The Watch Idiot's videos! Much love from Germany
The Time Teller is a pretentious watch snob. You turned me onto a lot of new (To me) watch channels to check out. The only watch channel I watch religiously is Just One More Watch and Ben's Watch Club. And I'm now into your channel after watching the history of Indian watches.
Whoops I thought you said timeless watch channel. He has a different take to others - at least he’s different! Really glad I’ve given you some new leads
Time Teller is the only watch channel I've asked UA-cam to stop recommending to me. Pretentious, campy (in a bad way), and a little bit disingenuous (especially around pushing his vintage watch business).
Lester William Polsfuss approved! By the way, Horace Walpole once told me he pronounced Teddy's last name as Baldassarr&. But who knows? He was such a snob!
Great list of channels!! Glad to see you had WatchChris and Elizabeth Grant on there Here are few suggestions… 1) Watch mechanics: Chronoglide Watchmakers. 2) Smart watches: Flossy Carter. 3) Fitness watches: Desfit. 4) Affordable watches: Just the Watch. 5) Ashley Tee. Small channel but her watch sensibilities are great. Hope it gets bigger. 6) About effing time
Yes indeed. He was so kind to shout me out early on and has such innovative video ideas. Been focusing on other priorities I think. These UA-cam videos take a lot of time - especially if you add in proper videos rather than my slideshow mode!
Fantastic video! I found myself pausing it multiple times and opening new tabs wondering (again) if I should google "blue waffle"... but also checking out quite a few new channels, namely Killing Time w Norman and Pete McConvill. Love your editing and graphics, and the use of HHGTG clips 🤣
Thanks man! Norman is a cool dude. Pete was previously called not so obvious watch reviews , so you may have seen that. I love to shoehorn in a theme !
Lots of additional channel suggestions in the comments so check them out if you want to explore further. For watch channel owners , feel free to drop your channel name down there too if you think it’s relevant .
Your channel falls in highly underrated category. For the amount of effort you put in your videos you deserve at least a million subs.
Far too kind! I’m entirely happy with where I’m at anyway . Currently a super supportive and appreciative group of viewers and I suspect that starts to change when things get bigger

Most recommended channel from the video that I didn’t watch so clearly I need to!
*tier, not tear
@@RockandrollNegro thank you
Great selection! Thanks for including me in there my friend! Up the humour that’s what I say!!;)
Love your recent video. I'm thinking TGV might be a bit jealous. Getting to ride the Delorean and KITT. Even seeing the Jurassic Park SUV.
Amen!
Appreciate the shout out! Wasn’t expecting that at all. Nice surprise. Nicely presented!! I like how you broke it down in categories.
Never in doubt !

You've missed Red Dead Restoration. No talking, just subtitled and well edited watch repair.
Ah I haven’t watched them - watch restoration definitely something I need to get into more.
His stuff so so well made and what is so good is that he is just a hobbyist watchmaker like myself.
Agreed. But my restoration go to place usually is The Nekkid Watchmaker.

There's some big names in there. Thank you for the shoutout, certainly unexpected, but definitely appreciated.
Categorising channels into groups was a cool touch too.
You were my first shout out ever when I was watch reactions. Of course you are in there!
…and yes I misspelt Tudor on your page. D’oh!
This was a great idea for a video. Well done and very much appreciate the shout out. Thank you!
No other channel combines a trip to harrow/Uxbridge and watches - you had to be included !
I subscribe to nearly all those channels! Great to see the smaller channel friends mentioned too. Great collective presentation!
Urban Gentry has to be given huge credit here. He likely inspired so many other channels to start.
Yes sir. Right here. He deserves a lot of credit.
Oh totally . A huge inspiration for my channel obviously!
Lol, is Tristano el Douché still around?
Great video and summary of all the channels you mentioned! Thanks for the shoutout!!
Of course! I watch most of your videos
@@IlluminatingWatches I really appreciate that! Means a lot!
Watch Lab did a good video about you...
@@syndicatedsatellite7288 Really when?
@@TheTownWatch 2 years ago...
Red dead restoration is also a good watch restoration channel. I love that it's silent and you can just enjoy seeing the process of restoring beautiful timepieces.
Yes lots of people mentioned them - I clearly need to watch more!
I hear the Time Bombardier offers an eclectic mix of vintage rarities, unobtanium rolexes and humble casios... 😅😅😅 keep up the good work dude 👍👍👍
Absolutely! Enjoy your channel! Thanks man - appreciate it.
Absolutely never thought I would have been on this list!

Thankyou! More videos on this the merrier. Always interesting to see the picks of other people!
I never knew there were so many channels, I recognise five or six of those. Nice idea with the 'Hitchhiker's guide' connection 👍
And there’s many more! It’s a big old universe!

@@vaclav_fejt that’s the spirit! Ha ha!
Wristwatch revival maybe should've been added for the repair channel section. He's got a good following and an overall great presenter.
You are second person who has said that. I didn’t know them! Definitely need to look
Oh yeah, I got hooked on WR. I find him soothing (Not in a weird way) and very informative and easy to watch.
@@IlluminatingWatches make it three about that channel. He's watchmaking ASMR
@@TheDonCucaracho clearly need to add into my rotation of channels!!
💯 agree here. There definitely IS something soothing about Marshall and his channel, presents and speaks so well, and he clearly loves what he does.

Watching at 2am and not sure where I am but did you mention Wei Koh of Revolution Watches? Awesome watching content
Ha ha well glad you are watching. I didn’t actually - but a few people have said so I clearly need to check out!
One lane you missed are the watch modders. Some of the repair or review channels do it now and again but there are a few dedicated such as Lume Shot.
You are absolutely right. Yes it’s a whole genre I’ve totally missed.
I think there is a room for the Just the watch channel, Dave is doing a wonderful job presenting affordable watches and also I would highlight the Brave beaters channel andPeter Kotsa, where the design elements are in focus, giving a more unique perspective to watches
Very nice additions. I do watch brave beaters who is great but the others are not ones I have frequented.
Just the Watch and Peter Kotsa are great review channels.
I really like carnagewatches, very cinematic and uses some good macro shots to get close to the watch, love his walkarounds at the end of every review too
Never watched! I’ll have to take a look
Loved this! What a great list of amazing watch UA-camrs (yourself included!) 👏👏👏👏
It’s a huge group - obviously many more than I’ve included here!
Never seen a review about watch channels. Interesting!
To be fair teddy Baldassarre and Andrew Morgan from watchfinder did some lists recently! Thanks for taking a look!

Watch Geek rocks -- the go to for Casio module tutorials (and unbridled enthusiasm with his spinnaker Piccard gen 1 review!)
Ah yes - I do actually subscribe but for some reason haven’t watched loads. I loved his history of the g-shock
Did I miss Casio Mogul Greg Anderson and Just The Watch?
Oh, and Marshall at Wristwatch Revival!
