Hi, I'm a medical physicist by profession. I just wanted to clarify that although a watch's movement may be resistant to the magnetic field of an MRI machine (1.5 T or 15000 Gauss), that does not mean you can wear your watch during an MRI exam. The case itself is often made of stainless steel or some alloy that is susceptible to magnetism and it is very dangerous to bring into an MRI room. There are also MRI machines with fields stronger than 1.5T (3T is common), so your watch isn't necessarily safe around all MRI machines regardless. Although Teddy has never suggested that you can wear your watch during an MRI, some may get the wrong impression.
Mate i think we all know to not wear anything into an MRI machine especially since the doctors and techs triple check us to make sure we have no metal on LOL
Yes, Bulova and Frederique Constant are both owned by Citizen. So now this group can boast having the two most accurate quartz movements plus the only automatic movement that has a 40hz beat rate and most accurate one at that.
My grandfather wore Citizen so I bought two Citizen watches when starting out- one in 2007 when I worked in Tokyo and another when starting a new job in 2014 in Chicago. My in-laws bought me a Frederique Constant as my wedding gift in 2013. I have vivid memories of walking into a store in Bombay and the FC Carree really stood out to me. It's now over 11 years since that day and we lost my MIL a few years ago but that watch reminds me of the affection my in laws have always shown me. My wife then bought me an IWC Portofino when I took a job in Switzerland. I have a small but well used collection and all my watches marked key milestones in my life. Watching this video brought back the memories. Thanks for sharing.
❤ Agree about Frederique Constant! Citizen also owns Swiss movement maker La Joux-Perret. I assume this helps with FC developing in house calibers either directly or indirectly.
Proud owner of a Citizen CC3001 and GShock 56BB. It feels so good to see Citizen acknowledge while knowing this channel mostlikely isn't dealing with Citizen watches. Solar technology have advanced that indoor light can charge the watch and capacitor has very long duration along with watch power optimization. If there is something more, it will be nicer to introduce satellite wave being the fastest in the world today in getting time as not every location is able to receive radio wave from those stations. I really like Citizen in their continue persue of low maintenance, reliable and precise timekeeper which is basic of a time watch.
Thanks, it brilliantly showcases how traditional watchmaking continues to evolve with modern innovations. From Citizen's solar quartz advancements to Omega's master chronometer standards, the insights are captivating. Sinn's engineering feats and IWC's unique materials further highlight the industry's diversity. Looking forward to more explorations of these groundbreaking brands
I picked up my Citizen Pro-Master Land for $300 in Japan a few months ago and I still love it. Not only does it have Eco-Drive and hardened titanium but the push-button quick-adjust clasp is outstanding. I’ve always heard Japan saves their best models for themselves and now I believe it.
Hundred percent agree on Frederique Constant - an in-house perpetual calendar for less than $10k! The Citizen group brands (Citizen, Bulova, Frederique Constant, Arnold & Son) and their movement manufacturing arm La Joux-Perret are super underrated. Another great video Teddy!
Super interesting, Citizen and FC really blew my mind. FP Journe would also deserve a mention for his movements, although his watches are not in the accessible category.
@@benjamingruen6820 the last 5 years or so theyve had some great releases/rereleases. Big fan of their master collection. The new zulu titanium. Big fan of what they have been doing. Feel like they are consistently slept. But yea not super innovative which is why i just said they deserve a shout out
Love my Frederique Constant. Nothing as complex as what was presented here, but is my absolute favorite dress watch. Beautiful piece and good value for money, in my opinion.
Specht & Sohne offer a homage to Cartier's Santos model, going back to 1904, that uses a Citizen 'auto' movement with a date window at 6 O'Clock that sells for $125 in a gold plated model. The steel model is only $95.
Picked up a AMZWATCH's watch as my first watch last month and I’m absolutely in love with it. Perfect size, looks elegant, very comfortable. Now my only problem is holding off from buying more watches so quickly!
Great vid Teddy. You checked all the boxes people should be aware of it seems. I didn't know IWC put such efforts into innovation. Never been interested in the brand as to value for $, your vid peaked my interest.
Personally I think there are 2 swiss brands with great caliber and complications underestimated: 1. Frederique constant 2. Maurice lacroix I love Omega and IWC too, but everyone knows these great brands.
Agreed, Teddy definitely missed the Ball, both literally in missing that brand, and figuratively by missing bulova and other brands that fly further under the radar even with excellent watches.
I think the point here is that he is mentioning brands that are inovating recently. He mentions that in the beginning, so i think thats why he hasnt mentioned brands that pioneered long ago (sorry if bulova has been implementing new tech recently and i have missed it, i dont follow it very closely)
What an excellent video. I’ve learned a lot after watching this. Your videos are next level Teddy. You are brilliant at what you do. Keep up the amazing work and the fantastic videos. I really enjoyed this video.
I have an FC 270 Moon phase. And it is one or two days out of phase with the moon because the battery died I am dreading how to figure out how to get it recalibrated with the Moon. Any help would be appreciated
got my 39mm with the white dial on the 3-link "Bader" bracelet watch on MAMACOO 3 weeks ago and am loving it to pieces. Absolute fantastic watch that wears super comfortable on my 6.75 inch wrist. Chose the 3-link over the 5-link bracelet for the toolless quick adjustment. Way more comfortable than my Longines Hydroconquest 41 mm.
Such a great topic Teddy, thanks for the video. Another good topic would sort of a history lesson on which brands first came up first with certain innovations.
I completely agree on FC, the one I would add to this list is Baume and Mercier. The big power reserve at a very competitive price, especially compared to similar brands like Oris.
@@danielpintoalmeida7461 Highly recommend. I would look for a used one. About half the price as new. Older ones have 50m WW. Newer, 100m. I like the dial better on the Std. World Time best, but prefer the Highlife case much more.
My first 2 watches as a young adult were citizens. 15 watches and 20 yrs later they still are great to wear. Great everyday watches for most occassions
I have the Frederique Constant Hybrid and its been a great talking point because it looks like a normal time piece but with a smart watch heart that is connected to my Phone .
Hi Teddy, thanks for the inspiration. You put Citizen AT watches and Frederique Constant Manufacture Worldtimer and Perpetual Calendar on my "watch list" ....
Sinn is a brand I have not bought yet… I live in Hawaii, in the ocean every day, not deep dive, but always at the beach. Any recommendation out of the Sinn watches for daily/constant exposure to salt water, and day to day impact (surf, breaks, constant motion, etc.)?
Brilliant. My vote would go to Sinn for the oil and gas filled dials. Though IWC’s work is amazing, its complications distract my eyes/brain. Thanks (as always) for covering a wide range of price points. I especially enjoyed the Omega.
Glad you chose IWC to be a part of the five most innovative watch brands in the 21st century. I had the opportunity and pleasure of trying on the Eternal Calendar at Watches & Wonders. It’s an amazing timepiece!
I bought the first iteration of the FC Slimline Monolithic model about two years ago. Within three weeks of receiving the watch, I noticed accuracy issues and problems with the crown, including difficulties in winding and setting the date. I sent it back to the manufacture for a full inspection and possible repairs. A year later, after they installed a new movement and conducted multiple failed internal inspections, FC customer service informed me they couldn’t resolve the issue. They offered to replace the watch with a different model, but it took an additional four months of follow-ups before I finally received the replacement. Long story short..excruciating experience.
Been a citizen fan since I was young because it was the first "nice" watch my parents bought me. Super reliable and very interesting tech in their own brand and their subrands like bulova and Frederique. Plus citizens dedication to accuracy is really nice to see, their quartz tech is a step above others
Excellent info in this video,Thank You. I dropped out of watch collecting when year after year the market was blah, including the bloated Rolex pricing when much better watches were available for less.👍👋
Yes thank you for putting Citizen first. I love that brand. I own two citizen watches and I love them so much. But they always get overshadowed by other affordable watch brands like Seiko and Casio.
I’ve had my citizen Skyhawk for about 9 years now. Absolutely love it. It’s cool seeing how it will automatically sync to my local time after not wearing it for several days.
Teddy, you are the King of Watch Content. No other creator can see your skills, presentation, depth of knowledge or level of likability. Well done, sir.
This is an excellent video. Informative, interesting and I always enjoy a nod to the unsung hero. And I agree with your point about omega. They not only recognised the brilliance of the co axial escapement (unlike Patek Philippe who rejected Daniels more than once) but made it a mainstay features in their widely distributed watches for all to enjoy not just the rich and wealthy. Also I can confirm the website is excellent with really good well written informative articles I’d encourage everyone to have a look. Well done and thank you
Another great video from my favourite watch channel - more of the same please! I've had 2 Citizen Eco-power watches, one dated from the early days (I purchased in 1997) and a more recent world time AT which has the atomic clock feature you mentioned. It's absolutely bomb-proof, has traveled with me through Africa, Asia and Europe, never been serviced but still performing as per day one that I owned it. It also has some useful clever features - if you press both pushers simultaneously it switches the 2 time zones - great for regular travelers.
Citizen make most functional timepieces which are functional and esthetically pleasing as well. Casio is other great Japanese brand which is champion in making functional and practical watches, but Citizen elevates it's game by designing the watches which can be worn casually and formally, with their eco drive technology. Good informative video by Teddy. And hats off to Japanese horoligst.

Don't think the crystal can handle smashy bang bang, for sure.
@@datta55 You would be shocked at some of the stories I've heard. Buy an MRI tech a beer one day and listen to all the craziness they see
No wonder Rolex discontinued the Milgauss!
@@datta55 Regrettably, "we all" do not, in fact, know this :/
(I know this, you know this, lots of people do not know this and need to be told).
Frederique Constant kills it with its calibers and pricepoint. Finnaly someone talks about their 40hz movement.
I've been saying for a while that Frederique Constant are producing some amazing watches recently, their worldtimer especially is stunning
And so is their Moon Phase watch.
The sweep of the FC-810 seconds hand is simply glorious
FC are amazing
Citizen, bulova, and FC have been knocking it out of the park lately. Even every longines release is good
Yes, Bulova and Frederique Constant are both owned by Citizen. So now this group can boast having the two most accurate quartz movements plus the only automatic movement that has a 40hz beat rate and most accurate one at that.
Loving the frequency of new quality content, thanks Teddy!

Bought my brother a Frederique Constant slimline watch for his wedding (quartz because he's not a watch guy). He loved it! The brand is under-rated.
Just got that piece and I’m really satisfied with the purchase as well!!!
Good to see Frederique Constant get some recognition!
Frederique Constant is severely underrated! I love their world timer.
Great video! I've always loved Citizen's Eco-Drive but I had no Idea that Citizen owned FC! Thanks for sharing.
That’s exactly what I thought. I was shocked to hear that. With such a big company behind FC, I would actually consider buying one.
Nice mention of Citizen, well deserved.
❤ Agree about Frederique Constant! Citizen also owns Swiss movement maker La Joux-Perret. I assume this helps with FC developing in house calibers either directly or indirectly.

I have a Citizen eco-drive in titanium for like 10 years with perpetual calendar which I love, rock solid still looks like new 🙌🏻

Awesome video Teddy. I learned a lot. More please.
Longines should get a shout out for just killing it lately
Killing it yes, but innovating? Not so much.
I just got a 41mm longines hc and I love it. Wearing daily. Who knows how long the honeymoon phase will last.
@@benjamingruen6820 the last 5 years or so theyve had some great releases/rereleases. Big fan of their master collection. The new zulu titanium. Big fan of what they have been doing.

Love my Citizen, FC Highlife and Alpinar4 watches.
Great vid Teddy. You checked all the boxes people should be aware of it seems. I didn't know IWC put such efforts into innovation. Never been interested in the brand as to value for $, your vid peaked my interest.
Their lack of value to money in their general product lines seems to be one of the most ignored topics in all the YT mentions of IWC I swear
Personally I think there are 2 swiss brands with great caliber and complications underestimated:
1. Frederique constant
2. Maurice lacroix
I love Omega and IWC too, but everyone knows these great brands.
Bulova? First electronic watch, first electrostatic movement, precisionist movement, first curved chronograph…
Owned by citizen group
True, but so is FC; and Bulova introduced most of their innovations before Citizen purchased them.
Agreed, Teddy definitely missed the Ball, both literally in missing that brand, and figuratively by missing bulova and other brands that fly further under the radar even with excellent watches.

Thank you for making high quality videos!Love AMZWATCH ’s watches
This is top notch content and delivery! You do a great job of educating us! Keep up the great work!
Incredible Teddy, always fascinating ! Thanks for sharing
I hope frederique constant never catches on with watch collectors i want one some day haha
Likewise! Let the mouthbreathers keep trading dull Rolexes.
Loved this episode! Would love to see more like it!
Such an enjoyable, informative and quick-fire gathering. Well done Teddy👍
This was fun. Thank you!
KILLER info! Only problem is now there are more watches I want thanks to knowing these tidbits!
As always the most thoughtful , well researched & eloquent watch channel around , keep AMZWATCH coming !
Excellent subject well covered, please do another. Maybe for the more attainable end.
What an excellent video. I’ve learned a lot after watching this. Your videos are next level Teddy. You are brilliant at what you do. Keep up the amazing work and the fantastic videos. I really enjoyed this video.
One of those videos that reiterates why you are 1 mil sub and more worthy. Good job Teddy.
Accutron!!!! Electro static movement, arguably the craziest/coolest innovation since the original Bulova tuning fork or Seiko spring drive.
I have an FC 270 Moon phase. And it is one or two days out of phase with the moon because the battery died I am dreading how to figure out how to get it recalibrated with the Moon. Any help would be appreciated

Great video! Can you do a high end luxury version of this
FC world timer is probably the watch I would grab from that brand. Very attractive piece in my opinion.
Thanks, great video!
Loved this one!
Have the FC High Life World Time and love it!
I’m interested in buying one too. What’s your review? Can’t find enough content about the watch
@@danielpintoalmeida7461 Highly recommend. I would look for a used one. About half the price as new. Older ones have 50m WW. Newer, 100m. I like the dial better on the Std. World Time best, but prefer the Highlife case much more.
Very nice content! I think Ball has a couple innovations I have not seen before such as their tide indicator watch.
Great Video Teddy! I really love your content!❤ The watch brands and watches you featured are incredible!😮 I want to see more of these.
My first 2 watches as a young adult were citizens. 15 watches and 20 yrs later they still are great to wear. Great everyday watches for most occassions
That FC bit rate blew my mind away!!!
I own a Classic, love it ☺️
I have the Frederique Constant Hybrid and its been a great talking point because it looks like a normal time piece but with a smart watch heart that is connected to my Phone .
Does it still work with the app? Mine hasn't connected for a few years now. Wondering if the Bluetooth module's battery has died.
@@zachfein5255 Yes all good with connection .
Have you kept the code for the APP connection as it might need a reboot .
Hi Teddy, thanks for the inspiration. You put Citizen AT watches and Frederique Constant Manufacture Worldtimer and Perpetual Calendar on my "watch list" ....
Mana yang lebih bagus bro Tissot Prx Powermatic or Quart ? Saya Bingung untuk memilihnya! mohon Pencerahannya Terima Kasih #KeepHealtyForYou

Excellent Video - Can you do one on Annual / Full Calendars?
Meanwhile Patek released the Cubitus

What do you think about MIDO multifort tv big date watch ?
Is it better than Tissot prx ?
Is it priceless for reselling ?

Seiko spring drive should be on this list
teddy you know anything about Shinola wacthes??? found them when I was looking for a bike lol
I’ve had my citizen Skyhawk for about 9 years now. Absolutely love it. It’s cool seeing how it will automatically sync to my local time after not wearing it for several days.
I had no idea about FC. I mean I knew they were out there, but that movement is INSANE! Thanks for teaching us something new today!
Please do part 2, I love this video
Love it Teddy!
It is videos like these that make your channel a pleasure.
Awesome video. IWC really does make some awesome pieces
The Seiko “Captain America “ edition 🇺🇸…. I can see Cap himself rocking this while smashing Hydra heads!
Great video, Teddy! ‘Would have loved to have a segment about Rado’s amazing use of ceramics and other scratch resistant materials.
Very pleased to see Citizen getting credit where credit is due! Great video, Teddy!
Great content Teddy.
My watch collection started with the citizen black eagle. Still kicking it after almost 20 years.
Teddy, you are the King of Watch Content. No other creator can see your skills, presentation, depth of knowledge or level of likability. Well done, sir.
Hi Teddy could you do a video on movements ( watches ) dealing with power reserves, obviously the alternative would be quarts ...thanks Simon
This is an excellent video.
Informative, interesting and I always enjoy a nod to the unsung hero.
And I agree with your point about omega. They not only recognised the brilliance of the co axial escapement (unlike Patek Philippe who rejected Daniels more than once) but made it a mainstay features in their widely distributed watches for all to enjoy not just the rich and wealthy.
Also I can confirm the website is excellent with really good well written informative articles I’d encourage everyone to have a look.

Formex should be in this list.
Shock resistant essence, bezel swappable diver, microadjust deployant clasp and all for a brand most people can afford.
