    Andrew, Tom, thanks for having me on for a chat. It was great to finally connect after years of admiring your work and I hope we can do it again in the future. By the way, nice work with the Cleveland backdrop with the microphone haha!

    This is so awesome! Teddy sells watches, Watchfinder sells watches, they both make UA-cam content they compete for viewers on, yet this is genius level collaboration. Watchfinder videos with Andrew and Tom are epic voice over stuff that has the English twist that honestly no other content/retailer can touch, no question. Yet, Teddy is that enthusiast from Good old rust belt Cleveland USA that has class, good taste, and is a real deal enthusiast. It’s like an AC Shelby Cobra but in watch content world. Please do this again. I will be happy to support and buy product from both these sources.

    Good guy Teddy coming on your show is so awesome! Really great hearing more about his back story. Thanks for the great episode.

  • @seattlegrrlie
    @seattlegrrlie 2 роки тому +12

    UA-cam and that ability to see a watch on different wrists, get opinions from different people, see it side-by-side to similar watches really changes the game. Teddy has done a great job of elevating that space to showcase options at different price points and style and value. Others are chasing

    I can listen to the banter between Andrew and Tom all day, but these collabs and interviews are fascinating as well, largely due to the great questions you guys come up with.

  • @suavewolf1994
    @suavewolf1994 2 роки тому +30

    Loved it! Teddy was my first watch channel that helped fuel my interest in watches. I really hope for more collabs and that the guests continue to come back.

    These episodes have to be my favorites. Not only because to get to chat with other youtubers but you get to listen and learn about them on a more personal level. For example, the story about Teddy's Grandfather and his watch was fantastic. Please keep going with these episodes, they are fantastic!

    @dmarti47 2 роки тому +2

    Great conversation, guys! It felt so short, I wished it went on for longer (podcast idea?). W&Co, TB and TGV have paved the way for many of the newer, honest, and serious watch content creators.

  • @RobinsWatchJourney

    Teddy was one of the biggest influences on me when I was getting into the watch hobby and I still enjoy and learn from his videos. Thanks for having him on the channel.

  • @brianmason744
    @brianmason744 2 роки тому +14

    I loved this interview. Teddy is always on point. He’s positive and very intelligent; I can tell by his answers. I am not the measurer of intelligence;however, he uses love and positivity to get a point across and that’s the highest order of understanding.

  • @tone-b
    @tone-b 2 роки тому +9

    Absolutely made up that my two favourite watch channels have joined up. Teddy you legend, the need to make a trip over the pond to the UK is a must. Andy and Tom keep up the great and insightful work with touch of banter this world needs.

  • @MarcoCarag
    @MarcoCarag 2 роки тому +3

    This is a great interview - thank you! I think it's very admirable how Teddy gets excited just off of others' excitement. I feel that's a rare quality; many folks, myself included, don't get fired up by what others get fired up about, or it can be very one way - and that can severely limit our ability to connect.
    So cheers to Teddy for being such an admirable personality in the hobby.

  • @thetruebatman4632
    @thetruebatman4632 2 роки тому +9

    “If you ever want to know if someone is a watch enthusiast, ask them for a watch and they’ll give you five….” LOL nailed it and nailed Teddy. Awesome video.

    OMG what a great video. To have both groups, Teddy and WAtchfinder together has been great. I follow both of you and both of you have been instrumental in my watch buying decisions. The video about the Tudor Black Bay 58 done by Watchfinder a couple of years ago....bamm...Tudor BB58 OG style. The video Teddy did about Grand Seiko a few months back....bamm Grand Seiko White Birch more recently. Both of you have such a unique and down to earth take on watches and I cant get enough. Thank you both, this has been a real treat listening and watching this video today. Watches are a real passion to a lot of people including myself and I can see the passion you both share in the industry. And just like any industry it has its good and bad aspects. I like the fact that you keep it positive which is why I always look forward to new content from both channels. There are other content makers out there who are not always as positive...

    I love Teddy's comment on how to he keeps his enthusiasm on this hobby alive.
    I watch Aaron Terrence Hughes's videos on fragrances and he always gives so much effort in making his comments objective, because crafts like perfumery (much like watches) are very subjective. He always compliments fragrances for its technical aspects even though he mentions that he would not wear it himself. This sort of objectivity I found to be along the same line as Teddy's comment on this video.
    Very insightful and very interesting. Much love to Teddy and the Watchfinder team! Great video, as always!

    I owe it to Teddy for getting me started with watches. I stumbled upon his channel and was amazed by his eloquence and volubility with describing even simple and attainable pieces. I have watched every video since, bought several watches based on his recommendation, and now I enjoy this hobby so much I wake up thinking about it every day. Thank you!

    Love the collaboration videos.
    Controversial opinion: Teddy's early days were HEAVILY influenced by TGV - whether he would admit it or not, his collection was pretty much the exact pieces TGV would discuss in his videos.
    For all the controversy surrounding him, some of it well deserved, TGV has had a significant influence on the watch-buying public.

    The watch community, particularly the watch UA-camrs who sell watches, collaborating is amazing!
    I bought a Marathon Navi from Marc at Long Island Watch and plan on buying an Islander from him. Then supporting Teddy (and by then Teddy + Courtney).
    Keeping an eye on Watchfinder and maybe Nico at Pride & Pinion if he has a truly affordable option.
    I don’t want a zillion watches but definitely a few

  • @huib1965
    @huib1965 2 роки тому +2

    I love your videos and admire the craftsmanship of these high-end watches. When I go to a store, however, to see them in person (Rolex, Grand Seiko, Omega etc. ) I am so underwhelmed. The dial on the video is seen much better but in real person everything is so tiny, the finishing is nice but seeing it in real person it just doesn’t ring a bell. I really do like them, but I think something about them says it is not for me.

  • @anthonystevens8683

    You won't know just how correct Wilhelm Schmid is until you browse the selection of vintage Audemars Piguet and Vacheron Constantin dress watches for $5,000-10,000. Avoiding the hype watches is the best way to find some great vintage gems.

  • @thenutcracker2921
    @thenutcracker2921 2 роки тому

    Great show. Having Teddy on was fantastic but what’s funny is after it was over and the thumbnail for the episode came up I completely forgot the tagline of discussing Rolex and MoonSwatch. I thought to myself “wait, I don’t remember them talking about either” so I went back through the transcript and found one passing mention each with no actual discussion. I assume you meant to get into the topics and already had the thumbnail finished but the conversation just led elsewhere. Personally I don’t need to here any more about either ATM but did find the no show funny.
