Dear TGV, I actually just finished a road-trip that "happened" to stop over Titisee and Gütenbach for a few days with my wife :) We visited the museum and showroom on Wednesday afternoon accompanied by one of the Hanhart watchmakers , saw the new Preventor HD12 sample and decided to buy it, but unfortunately no completed watch was available. Moved by our eagerness, the watchmaker told me that he would make one before our departure back home on Friday. He especially assembled it on Thursday and on Friday morning, we spent a marvelous moment with Simon Hall and the Hanhart team while taking ownership of my new watch! What a precious memory, that I have associated to the superb watch I have worn for two days now! Since there is a lot more context and details for it, I sent you the full story by email with pictures. Thanks a lot for this superb collaboration!
So sorry I missed this comment, a truly a wonderful story and testament to how great they are. Thank you so so much for sharing that. I will share this with my family too. I hope you enjoy the new watch, my very best to you and your wife. Onwards and ever upwards my friend! TGV
You know--I believed that I wouldn't be thinking of buying another watch again, not for a very long time...but the black dial Preventor HD12 has absolutely changed my mind! So genuinely GORGEOUS. ❤
Absolutely, this is why we really pushed to get it as affordable as possible, it's so important for the future, few understand this unfortunately and only think of short term profits, but Hanhart seem to get it. They deserve to be first choice ahead of all the great brands you mention IMO. 🙏😎 Thank you, onwards and upwards! Best regards, TGV
@@theurbangentry I like the legibility of the piece, the cathedral hands, the style of the numeric markers and of course the dimensions and specifications. However I am thorn between the blue and the black dials. Somehow the black looks more Germanic though.
Sinn watches at $1k doesn't have tegimented steel though, you have to go up to around $1500 and up to get those pieces. This watch has their own implementation of steel hardening technology for cheaper.
“This watch, that watch” has to be the best analytical no BS watch channel now. Britt Pierce and Adrian (Bark and Jack) both entertaining and seem to be very impartial with great perspectives. With the military heritage I wonder if Watches of Espionage would be interested as well?
I had the absolute pleasure of visiting Hanhart earlier this year. I purchased a 42mm reverse panda for my large wrist. The watch is fantastic, but the experience was unforgettable. Walking through the facility, having the watchmaker grab an uncased movement and loupe to explain to me the inner workings of the crono and flyback. I feel like I received the value of the watch again in the time they spent with me. Great brand, great people.
What was the process like organizing or planning that visit? Do you just show up and get a tour? I'd love to visit and buy a watch there in person some time in the next year.
Oh my goodness! I think you guys have just made the best, all round, every day watch! It's absolutely gorgeous! Totally cool, with history and quality that can't be denied! Wow! Pure Class!
Ordered one - this watch finally hits on all cylinders for me. Always wanted a German made watch since that’s my heritage, also wanted something that qualifies for every day wear, has a hint of luxury but is not ostentatious, something respectable, practical but also something that has a design language that harkens back to what makes the German perspective on quality so valuable. Germans are practical people and often times dislike outward displays of opulent wealth, it’s sort of considered to be rude and classless. This watch really exemplifies that mindset, it gives you everything you need and nothing you don’t but the artistic value of the numerals, hands and case are not lost. Pretty great to see a UA-cam personality collaborate with a watch company like hanhart and deliver proper value. This will be a profitable result for hanhart and that makes me happy for a good German brand doing things the right way!
I’ll say it, TGV got me into the passion of timepieces when I was in college. Other watchtubers are clearly more known, but none contribute more to the passion we all share.
I’d disagree - I think the Urban Gentry and TGV are arguably the most well known of all watch UA-camrs. Been around longest, most subscribers, I’ve heard loads of others refer to the UG as an early inspiration for starting their own channel or getting them into certain watches. I think the popularity among UA-camrs of the 36mm Explorer and the JDM Seiko Sarbs can definitely be accredited to TGV, and I’ve heard the like of MWC and Jody JOMW say as much.
He's responsible for at least 4 of my watch purchases. The SKX way back when i discovered mechanical watches, the Squale 1521, the "Mighty Flighty" and a square G-Shock. Unfortunately this one will not be on the list as i'm saving for a NOMOS.
Very sharp looking watch. Until now, none of the Hanhart offerings really drew me in, but I think this one may change that! Thanks for featuring this one, T. Hope you've been doing well.
You've come up with a classic and dare I say it...even better looking watch than the ones that have come previously! From watch enthusiast to watch designer! You've hit the ball clean out of the park ! Sticking to what works and having it made...superb !!!
Send it to Peter Kotsa. He has had hands on experience with the brand, his reviews are honest since he is independent and his videography is exceptional!
Just One More Watch in Australia, Jody is one of the GOATs of watch reviews in my opinion. Fantastic looking watch TGV, well done to you and Hanhart! ❤
I believe he has a brand new- Erebus. Not selling watches but having a microbrand… does that exclude him? Would be interesting to see his review- nice chap and has some moaning for every watch and that is good feedback… there are watches I like for their imperfections- it makes mine look socially acceptable 😂
Gotta say TGV you got me into watches about a year ago! I listen to you on my long drives during work while I traverse the Midwest. Just bought my first automatic, the new Zelos Thresher GMT. Thanks for always posting the best watch content 🙌🏼🔥🙏🏼
The two finest watch content creators on YT are undoubtedly TGV and This Watch That Watch. Send this fantastic watch to Mike. Mikes level of insight, originality and eloquence is only matched by TGV and vis versa.
Hi TGV , I have a 417 that I bought as a result of watching your channel a couple of years ago and it’s my favourite watch , much admired by complete strangers from time to time . Very excited about this new one and will order one when I have the spare cash . Keep up the good work, All the best , Chris Gilling .
Brilliant! Thanks for the history lesson on Hanhart. The watches look brilliant and beautiful. Now one is on my bucket list. BTW, thanks to you, this Summer I made it goal to visit the north end of Roosevelt Island to see and photograph the lighthouse tower. I'm born and raised in NYC, but never bothered to visit all the iconic locations while living there. I moved in the early 1990's. Never been to Roosevelt Island, until I returned to NYC in 2014 for Xmas. I ventured to the Southern point of the new park. No Cornell campus then. A decade later after the passing of my mother, I returned again to NYC. Both times, I visited the NYC landmarks that I took for granted in my early years. On my last day, I took the ferry from the East River to disembark at Roosevelt Island, and trekked the idyllic island. But I forgot to take a selfie wrist check with my watch du jour. An AddiesDive 39mm GADA on a Jubilee bracelet with a Grand Seiko-esque light blue wind-driven snow patterned dial. :-) I used to be able to indulge my champagne taste in the past, but now must tend to my acquisitions on a beer budget. Chapeau!
Looking at this video, I see that you took a lot of care with editing and music. I also see that your videos have gradually grown more interesting to me. I appreciate your time to make this for us.
TGV, this episode is just one more of the legendary moments in your journey! This new watch is a serious competitor for some heavy hitters! Hanhart has some epic history in watch making and builds fantastic watches...but to collab with them (again) on this: bravo fratello! You've done it again! I can already picture the fun to be had swapping around straps...field watch par excellence. The tech in the steel...now thats something special not often seen elsewhere. As always you've done it right. Pure class. O&U.
Discovered this beauty a few days ago, didn’t know it was a TGV collab. Already decided it’s got a place in my box with both the bracelet and a bund strap to boot. Bravo!
Purchased a few weeks ago & received it this week. I was torn between the black or blue dial, ultimatley going with blue. Been on the wrist for 3 days now and absoluteley love it! Fantastci everyday tool watch, bravo Hanhart & TGV!
No kidding,…I found myself drooling while looking at this watch. This beautiful watch has all of the little things the Murph was missing. Dare I say, perfection? ❤
Hi TGV, I suggest to ask Andrew Morgan to review the watch. Very experienced and (seemingly) unbiased reviewer with lots of knowledge. I am saving up for a Hanhart flyback, love the brand and most of their models. Was a little surprised to hear you, as a respected unbiased reviewer, actually advertising this watch. But very fair of you to ask us for good reviewers. Real class, highly respect you for that. Hope to see this watch being reviewed soon!
TGV I bought the reissue 417 ES 1954 39mm when it launched. Absolutely love it! To say I’m a Steve McQueen fan is a little understated. I’ve got a ‘68 GT390 Mustang along with the Steve McQueen Edition Triumph plus a few more bits of paraphernalia. In my past life I was a heat treatment tradesman, associated also with metallurgy & engineering with the Australian Defence Industry. I can attest to the 1200 Vickers being able to cope pretty bloody well with abuse!💪🏼 I really like this new model from Hanhart & definitely one I’ll consider!👍🏼😎
AMAZING! Me as “still” part of the younger generation, would love to introduce Hanhart to a different audience! I’d never tought in my life I would be drawn into these kind of watches, but since I’ve got to know so much more about watches and herritage, it would only be an honour!🙏💯 Keep up the good work bro!🔥
I’d like to nominate Russell at the mad watch collector. You inspired me to watch his channel. I enjoy his take on watches. And the way he presents them. I have one of his Mad Hacker watches by Radcliffe. Along with the Islander Urban Gentry Rangemaster watches. And I enjoy them very much. I think I’d like the Hanhart Preventor Watch.
It's one thing to be a witness to history: it's quite another thing to be a part of history (and, better-still, to live to tell), and it's clear you've managed it right here, with a clearly wonderful Hanhart. Great story of its creation, and while I have no idea how I'll see one in-person at the moment, I'm confident of its success. Keep on keeping-on, Tristano!
Another vote for "This Watch, That Watch." Mike gives the most thought-provoking commentary on watches you'll find. Like your channel, I learn something new in every video.
Yeah.... I'm going to end up with one of these. This really is what I've wanted for a couple years. Every bit of it is spot on. There have been some that have been close, but not quite. Well done.
The $1000 price point is grail watch territory for me and at the range my hopes of ever getting an Explorer are void. But this! OMG, I absolutely love it and it's something I could realistic save up for. Gratzi!
Despite being what people would call "Successfull",I have a pretty heavy diagnosed ADHD, so I have to keep a smartwatch to vibrate full force and beep on my wrist with my todo list, but I just love mechanical watches, I bought many and probably many more to come, wear them whenever I can, your my favorite channel, true independent journalist. Thanks for everything!
Me too, bought a slim smart band on my right wrist. People ask me why I am wearing two watches, I tell them I am not, as one is a watch and the other is a digital assistant.
What a cracking watch. I have a 417ES 39mm, it's a total beauty. Hadn't entertained the idea of another model but this collaboration is stellar. The blue dial on bracelet is gonna be a showstopper.
Congratulations, tgv, on participating in another collaboration. It’s always great to see that you have continued to mature with your taste and become a part of brands that will go on for generations. You are making a mark for watch, collectors, and enthusiast alike, and I could not be more glad. Wonderful, this is wonderful!
I'd recommend Peter Kotsa but he'll probably do a review anyway being a German watch maker fan. I have a few Hanhart's just got the Fly Navy but I love the denim blue dial on this new edition.
I've been searching for a German everyday watch for a while, and with the 556 going up in price (+ lacking tegimented steel) I thought I might have to wait a while but this looks fantastic! Those dimensions (and thickness) are perfect! I'm imagining it with a gray alcantara strap....bravo!
I blame you. Just preordered one with blue dial. Should be in next year. Thank You. Something to look forward for in 2025. Looks like you did a great job. The German watch makers are doing a better job than many of the Swiss makers in my opinion. Should be a great daily wear.
I can't remember ever seeing a watch that appeals to me more, TGV. A minimalist by nature, it far exceeds (for me anyway) the Explorer, Ranger and Murph for beautiful, simple purity of design, functionality and . . . well . . . just that special something that we can never put into words. It must be even more amazing in the flesh. Congratulations on your design genius!
A great looking watch, and now very high on 'next watch to buy' list. I've had my eye on a few Hanhart's, and this is certainly up there. Congrats on the collaboration and the outcome TGV. Love it.
I'd love to see Relative Time take a look at this watch TGV, he has an analytical approach I like. The watch looks great to me although I think I am more smitten by the Pioneer.
I'd love to see a white dial version of this... not that I need the temptation! Those numerals are special. Brave Beaters reviews are always a good watch and the guy Andrej (thinks that's how his name is spelt) has a good eye for design.
Congratulations on this fantastic collaboration. Regrettably my trip to Munich was canceled this summer. Hanhart was on my radar. Specifically the Moby Dick. With the addition of this model continues to be. Hoping for a Canadian AD at some point, but that won’t stop me from taking the plunge.
Watches like this make me smile. I don't know why we chase that Rolex dream (I'm over that brand)...I currently wear a Longines from 1970s. Square, cost very little. Stunning silver dial... also my G shock.. I've realised that there are great watches out there which don't break the bank and give us just as much joy as any rolex or omega etc...
Also big Sinn 556A vibes. Looks good. A few thoughts: - I love the 10.5mm thickness. - From pics and videos, the crown looks a little too large, although maybe if doesn’t appear that way in person. - Very interested to see how the watch’s shock resistance/ability to withstand falls onto hard services plays out over time. - I like the red tip on the seconds hand. - The watch looks SUPER gothic, especially on the bund strap - Is the “Hanhart” engraved on the buckle? I couldn’t tell clearly from the video. Congrats. Looks great from the video.
I know this is VERY dumb, but I love when a watch states where it is from on its dial. Ex: "Made in Japan" "Swiss Made".Unfortunately this does not have it and I know some Hanharts have "Made in Germany". :-(
Brilliant! And yes! Since it’s not limited, I’m going to endeavor to get this little beauty into my collection. The poor Murph didn’t stand a chance. A great watch, but it didn’t stand a chance against the Hanhart… Bravo!
Probably going to buy one, the design is great. It is funny how time mellows us all out though. Around 9:15 ish in the video you made a comment to the effect of - an individual on “the wrong side” wore a watch made by this brand, however, “it is still a great achievement for the brand”. - A Nazi wore this… I know the word hasa become something of a joke today due to western liberals calling everyone Nazis these days, but it was a group of individuals fighting for a horrific cause. Now it can apparently be celebrated by brands as an advertisement for their products. TGV, I know you don’t mean it as this way, you’re a great guy as far as I can tell. Just making a stupid observation on how time changes perspective and softens us all to the horrors of the past.
What a great collab, resulting in a gem of a watch. Love the classic style with the cathedral hands. Have had my eye on the Hamilton Murph for years, especially since they launched the smaller version, but was never 100% sure, so never got myself one. I wanted to stop buying extra watches, but you’re making it very difficult for me. Great job, TGV and Hanhart.
Tristano, this, my good man, is MASTERFUL! Your honesty and candidness is refreshing regarding this not being a review since it is biased, but one must admit that the watch looks phenomenal. I have never fallen for the Explorer’s wiley charm. I adore my RangeMaster that you did with Long Island Watch and this looks like a more vintage, high end, historically and horologically cultured version. Bravo! Very, very well done. On my shortest of short lists. I haven’t bought a piece since I got my SkyDweller nearly a year ago. This may tempt me, my friend. Onward and upward! Be well, my friend!
Teddy Sells watches now. He only really cares about watches he sells. And they all have "positive" reviews. He's not exactly an independent reviewer anymore
I bought their recently reintroduced flyback chrono, and even obtained a small discount on what is not an expensive watch. Great company making excellent watches. You've given the game away TGV!!
Peter kosta will just bang on about the lack of on-the-fly micro adjustment. Had to unsubscribe as he mentions this in almost every review -- great videography though.
Me too, unfortunately it was a tough one. Too big and everyone complains, and too small, the same happens. However, being so thin, it makes it wear so comfortably. I'm seriously considering selling my Explorer again 😅🙏. But if this is successful, who knows, 36mm one day maybe? I only wish I could make more Lorier Safari at this point. Thank you, Best regards, TGV
Sorry, I will double check everything, we have had issues with UA-cam all week. Bear with us, I am sure it will be with all the hard work, enjoy! Best regards, TGV
Perfect start to my Saturday morning…learned so much from you. Your highly articulate videos set the bar so high that other watch videos ‘pale’ in comparison. Thank you as always.
So the Murph is going to be my first Swiss watch. When I was looking I did come across this model and I did like it. In the end I liked the ETA movement more, but these are both beautiful and well designed. Great job!
Absolutely love it! Alas, it was released mere weeks after I purchased my beloved cream dial Preventor 9 so I don't foresee the HD12 in my future. But you know what they say, never say never! :)
Thank God it's not another limited edition. Bravo TGV. Congratulations. I could see this one making it into my collection sooner then later

You know--I believed that I wouldn't be thinking of buying another watch again, not for a very long time...but the black dial Preventor HD12 has absolutely changed my mind! So genuinely GORGEOUS. ❤
At $1k there are incredibly tough German watches like this one, Sinn, Circula and Damasko. Bulletproof pieces!
Absolutely, this is why we really pushed to get it as affordable as possible, it's so important for the future, few understand this unfortunately and only think of short term profits, but Hanhart seem to get it. They deserve to be first choice ahead of all the great brands you mention IMO. 🙏😎

I’d never tought in my life I would be drawn into these kind of watches, but since I’ve got to know so much more about watches and herritage, it would only be an honour!🙏💯
Keep up the good work bro!🔥
I would like to nominate the Mad Watch Collector and Adrian Barker.
Oh please, not the Mad Watch Collector! He’s nauseatingly over the top with his “mad” schtick.
Adrian works for Rolex
Yes, Russ (MWC) loves a military inspired watch. He would be perfect for a review
@@jimv.6631 I find him funny and he doesn't really pull any punches with all the joviality.
I’d like to nominate Russell at the mad watch collector. You inspired me to watch his channel. I enjoy his take on watches. And the way he presents them. I have one of his Mad Hacker watches by Radcliffe. Along with the Islander Urban Gentry Rangemaster watches. And I enjoy them very much. I think I’d like the Hanhart Preventor Watch.
It's one thing to be a witness to history: it's quite another thing to be a part of history (and, better-still, to live to tell), and it's clear you've managed it right here, with a clearly wonderful Hanhart. Great story of its creation, and while I have no idea how I'll see one in-person at the moment, I'm confident of its success. Keep on keeping-on, Tristano!
Friday night with a TGV drop, nothing can beat this. Onwards and upwards!
Here's to you my friend! 😎🥂
Thank you,
Best regards,
TGV
Another vote for "This Watch, That Watch." Mike gives the most thought-provoking commentary on watches you'll find. Like your channel, I learn something new in every video.
The Endurance comes in Pink?! Hell yes. Better get one.
Send it to Ash at The Chap's Guide! That's right up his alley.
I love that guy!
@@jasonsmith1375 Me as well, TGV, Chap's Guide and and Gentleman's Gazette got me through COVID.
Yeah.... I'm going to end up with one of these. This really is what I've wanted for a couple years. Every bit of it is spot on. There have been some that have been close, but not quite. Well done.
Looks really stunning! I'll go for the black one.
This is literally the first real video I found on this watch I've been looking for DAYS!
The $1000 price point is grail watch territory for me and at the range my hopes of ever getting an Explorer are void. But this! OMG, I absolutely love it and it's something I could realistic save up for. Gratzi!
One of my FAV brands, TGV! What a Collaboration- Thank you for this video, keep them coming :)
Despite being what people would call "Successfull",I have a pretty heavy diagnosed ADHD, so I have to keep a smartwatch to vibrate full force and beep on my wrist with my todo list, but I just love mechanical watches, I bought many and probably many more to come, wear them whenever I can, your my favorite channel, true independent journalist. Thanks for everything!
Me too, bought a slim smart band on my right wrist. People ask me why I am wearing two watches, I tell them I am not, as one is a watch and the other is a digital assistant.
Fantastic story and editing. Such a pleasure.
I nominate You’re Terrific!
What a cracking watch. I have a 417ES 39mm, it's a total beauty. Hadn't entertained the idea of another model but this collaboration is stellar. The blue dial on bracelet is gonna be a showstopper.
Congratulations, tgv, on participating in another collaboration. It’s always great to see that you have continued to mature with your taste and become a part of brands that will go on for generations. You are making a mark for watch, collectors, and enthusiast alike, and I could not be more glad. Wonderful, this is wonderful!
Such a classic beauty. A lovely simple time piece. Amazing work.
I'd recommend Peter Kotsa but he'll probably do a review anyway being a German watch maker fan. I have a few Hanhart's just got the Fly Navy but I love the denim blue dial on this new edition.
I get mine tomorrow! Can’t wait!! Thanks for the enlightenment. 😎
How do you like it so far?
Hanhart needs a boutique in NY. The watches are fantastic.
I've been searching for a German everyday watch for a while, and with the 556 going up in price (+ lacking tegimented steel) I thought I might have to wait a while but this looks fantastic! Those dimensions (and thickness) are perfect!
I'm imagining it with a gray alcantara strap....bravo!
The dimensions bring tears of joy to a baby-wristed enthusiast like me. Cool watch TGV!
So happy to hear that, thank you!
Best regards,
TGV
Fantastic!! It is basic and beautiful. Well done TGV & Hanhart🎖
Love all these new vids TGV you never fail to impress with your knowledge of watches kudos
Thank you, you are very kind to say.
Best regards,
TGV
Incredible video, old friend. Love it. Cheers to you and Hanhart.
Two great independent channels... Caseback Watches and ID Guy
I blame you. Just preordered one with blue dial. Should be in next year. Thank You. Something to look forward for in 2025. Looks like you did a great job. The German watch makers are doing a better job than many of the Swiss makers in my opinion. Should be a great daily wear.
This Hanhart looks 👌 phenomenal it looks feild ready and a true no date Selita. Its on the short list now. Congrats on helping design It
I can't remember ever seeing a watch that appeals to me more, TGV. A minimalist by nature, it far exceeds (for me anyway) the Explorer, Ranger and Murph for beautiful, simple purity of design, functionality and . . . well . . . just that special something that we can never put into words. It must be even more amazing in the flesh. Congratulations on your design genius!
Mad Watch Collector would be all over this!
A great looking watch, and now very high on 'next watch to buy' list. I've had my eye on a few Hanhart's, and this is certainly up there. Congrats on the collaboration and the outcome TGV. Love it.
Thank you, TGV, for extending my long night before sleeping, to watch the newest upload, just before I go to sleep! Horologic Addict😅
I love it, enjoy and may you dream of fine German watchmaking!
Thank you and best regards,
TGV
Congrats on the collaboration the Hugo bit really made me smile that is one stunning watch.
I'd love to see Relative Time take a look at this watch TGV, he has an analytical approach I like. The watch looks great to me although I think I am more smitten by the Pioneer.
As always you do your subject more than justice. Thank you! Hanhart makes exceptional watches.
I'd love to see a white dial version of this... not that I need the temptation! Those numerals are special.
Brave Beaters reviews are always a good watch and the guy Andrej (thinks that's how his name is spelt) has a good eye for design.
Interesting name, sounds about right for this watch!
I will check them out.
Thank you,
Best regards,
TGV
Love it, my favorite watch channel by far!
Is there a particular reason why "Made in Germany' doesnt feature on the dial?
What an exquisite video that showcases a truly classy watch. Thanks for bringing Hanhart to the attention of the world!
Gettin a tan, in the sun, life baby that's livin
Congratulations on this fantastic collaboration. Regrettably my trip to Munich was canceled this summer. Hanhart was on my radar. Specifically the Moby Dick. With the addition of this model continues to be. Hoping for a Canadian AD at some point, but that won’t stop me from taking the plunge.
I wouldn't mind having one
Watches like this make me smile. I don't know why we chase that Rolex dream (I'm over that brand)...I currently wear a Longines from 1970s. Square, cost very little. Stunning silver dial... also my G shock.. I've realised that there are great watches out there which don't break the bank and give us just as much joy as any rolex or omega etc...
Also big Sinn 556A vibes. Looks good.
A few thoughts:
- I love the 10.5mm thickness.
- From pics and videos, the crown looks a little too large, although maybe if doesn’t appear that way in person.
- Very interested to see how the watch’s shock resistance/ability to withstand falls onto hard services plays out over time.
- I like the red tip on the seconds hand.
- The watch looks SUPER gothic, especially on the bund strap
- Is the “Hanhart” engraved on the buckle? I couldn’t tell clearly from the video.
Congrats. Looks great from the video.
Always enjoy the scenery in all your videos! Thanks, and have a great weekend TGV!
Thank you as always my friend!
Have a great one too 🥂😎
Best regards
TGV
Any plans on making this available in 36mm in the future? Would be the perfectttt classic sized/unisex watch!
Well done, love the clasp design!!
I know this is VERY dumb, but I love when a watch states where it is from on its dial. Ex: "Made in Japan" "Swiss Made".Unfortunately this does not have it and I know some Hanharts have "Made in Germany". :-(
Not dumb at all, I adore that too.
Thank you,
Best regards,
TGV
Why is on the case back not sufficient? 🤔
Brilliant! And yes! Since it’s not limited, I’m going to endeavor to get this little beauty into my collection. The poor Murph didn’t stand a chance. A great watch, but it didn’t stand a chance against the Hanhart… Bravo!
Probably going to buy one, the design is great. It is funny how time mellows us all out though. Around 9:15 ish in the video you made a comment to the effect of - an individual on “the wrong side” wore a watch made by this brand, however, “it is still a great achievement for the brand”. - A Nazi wore this… I know the word hasa become something of a joke today due to western liberals calling everyone Nazis these days, but it was a group of individuals fighting for a horrific cause. Now it can apparently be celebrated by brands as an advertisement for their products. TGV, I know you don’t mean it as this way, you’re a great guy as far as I can tell. Just making a stupid observation on how time changes perspective and softens us all to the horrors of the past.
What a great collab, resulting in a gem of a watch. Love the classic style with the cathedral hands. Have had my eye on the Hamilton Murph for years, especially since they launched the smaller version, but was never 100% sure, so never got myself one. I wanted to stop buying extra watches, but you’re making it very difficult for me. Great job, TGV and Hanhart.
Blue Dial? (Vote 👍)
Very cool watch and brand. TGV always has such a unique perspective on watches and collecting in general. This channel is the GOAT!
The Mad Watch Collector! I would love to see Russel review this cracking watch, well done sir!
Tristano, this, my good man, is MASTERFUL! Your honesty and candidness is refreshing regarding this not being a review since it is biased, but one must admit that the watch looks phenomenal. I have never fallen for the Explorer’s wiley charm. I adore my RangeMaster that you did with Long Island Watch and this looks like a more vintage, high end, historically and horologically cultured version. Bravo! Very, very well done. On my shortest of short lists. I haven’t bought a piece since I got my SkyDweller nearly a year ago. This may tempt me, my friend. Onward and upward! Be well, my friend!
I think Teddy Baldassarre would do a creditable review of this watch.
He sells watches, I think that was the specific disqualifier for an unbiased review.
He would want it to be smaller, 39mm is to big for him.
Teddy Sells watches now. He only really cares about watches he sells. And they all have "positive" reviews. He's not exactly an independent reviewer anymore
@@sparkyblazeup1 Teddy is nothing but a salesman. His reviews are never subjective. I would think this would be obvious but I guess not
I bought their recently reintroduced flyback chrono, and even obtained a small discount on what is not an expensive watch. Great company making excellent watches. You've given the game away TGV!!
Peter Kotsa and Brave Beaters
Not familiar with them, thank you!
I will certainly check them out.
Best regards,
TGV
Peter kosta will just bang on about the lack of on-the-fly micro adjustment. Had to unsubscribe as he mentions this in almost every review -- great videography though.
Love the design, but really wish it was even a bit smaller
Me too, unfortunately it was a tough one. Too big and everyone complains, and too small, the same happens. However, being so thin, it makes it wear so comfortably. I'm seriously considering selling my Explorer again 😅🙏. But if this is successful, who knows, 36mm one day maybe?
I only wish I could make more Lorier Safari at this point.
Thank you,
Best regards,
TGV
Well done production TGV! Your videos are always informative and well designed. This one is not exception. 🎉
1 minute 0 views, fell off
Sorry, I will double check everything, we have had issues with UA-cam all week.
Bear with us, I am sure it will be with all the hard work, enjoy!
Best regards,
TGV
@@theurbangentryhahaha bro took it seriously. Just a meme TGV, ask Hugo 🦖
This watch rocks! Appreciate the time and effort you and the hanhart team put into this
Perfect start to my Saturday morning…learned so much from you. Your highly articulate videos set the bar so high that other watch videos ‘pale’ in comparison. Thank you as always.
So the Murph is going to be my first Swiss watch. When I was looking I did come across this model and I did like it. In the end I liked the ETA movement more, but these are both beautiful and well designed. Great job!
Nice looking watch from an underrated brand. And great to include a quick release function on the bracelet, more watch manufacturers should do that.
Absolutely love it! Alas, it was released mere weeks after I purchased my beloved cream dial Preventor 9 so I don't foresee the HD12 in my future. But you know what they say, never say never! :)
