Every time I see a Moritz Grossmann, I appreciate them more and more. Something clear jewels and purpled hands that really draws me in. Clean simple, while offering still incredible detail.
I've had a Fortis Cosmonaut Chronograph Alarm from 2001, I'm basically dropping by ever youtube video that actually mention Fortis, which is not that many at all :D
I might not have Invicta on my buy list… but I also wouldn’t buy every Rolex. Which is to say there is a difference between buying invicta v. Buying one of “those” invictas. Whatever my watch bros buy, I hope they wear it in good health, even if I don’t have the stones to tell them it looks better on their wrist.
I just got a Zodiac Sea Chron a month ago and it has surpassed all expectations i had. The case thickness measures a little large but really doesnt feel like it on the wrist. I will be looking at getting a Zodiac super sea wolf in the future.
Very interesting video Teddy. I really enjoy the historical references which provide a line of sight from todays mechanical watch brands into our past.
Seiko can pound sand. :) They obviously don't care much about QC these days. Given their movements are on all sorts of microbrands that CAN line up indexes, I don't see why anyone would want to pay their elevated prices for watches they obviously don't care about.
I question the 'cooler' aspect. There are plenty of cool looking watches on the market these days. They certainly have history but today's Seiko is not yesterday's, so to speak. Maybe it has something to do with production being in China vs Japan for their lesser models. I do have the Arnie on my list but it will likely be the only Seiko branded watch from them that I'd buy. In the sub $1000 range they have some good offerings, but mineral crystal abounds along with poor QC. Anything above $1000 and I'd rathe buy a Squale, Hamilton, or some other brand in that range. @@cardinalj
Great video! I'm always eager to hear new stories about watch brands with great heritage, but I think that wrist watch fan after all could be hiding even behind Casio or Invicta watch of course 😀
My Hanhart is one of the few watches I get comments on. I've had it for quite a while, and I find I love it more and more every time I put it on. You won't regret it.
Post on the fragrance page. I just got into niche fragrances and loved your channel and the blind reactions. It's been a year!!! binged all your videos already.Please keep up the high quality content.
Kudos to Teddy and he's team! So many times these types of videos are self serving. They present you with a brand, then advertise their website where such products can be purchased. None of the brands mentioned in this video are listed for sale on Teddy's page. He's giving you (us) opinions without trying to shove a "buy now" now our throats.
Nobody ever talks about were Steve McQueen got the hanhart 417. It’s not a-tale going to tell here . The vulcain cricket was worn during the 1954 climb by the Italians to the top of K2, this is the greatest achievement in mountaineering history, until the mountain was climbed again during winter in 2021 .
Teddy please do a video on Hajime Asaoka's - Kurono Tokyo. Very renowned watchmaker known for exclusive one of a kind watches who’s introduced a ‘design’ line of watches. Be interested to hear your thoughts on Hajime and the Kurono brand Thanks, Tom
That’s not true about Hublot with respect but 100% true of MVMT!😂😂 Just because my man @Nico loves to trash Hublot(they sell lots of watches) doesn’t mean that Hublot (pronounced …(Oob-low) doesn’t make watches that serious(“deep”) horology enthusiasts own and want to own. Your gonna get plenty of jokes @ a meet up because of @Nico! It also depends on the model!
I like the Vulcain. I like the look, it's history and it's function. The alarm is actually very useful as a reminder to eat, or a time to leave etc... What do you think of the watch and it's $5K price point?
@@rowaystarco Imo, if you have the money to get a VC, then you also have the money to get a PP or a AP, but the former is not as hyped and less popular compared to both PP and AP. So the fact that you chose VC over the two means you aren't buying into the hype and also spent time thinking about what kind of watch you really want.
@@rowaystarco If someone is ready to put 30k + on a watch that they love and a watch that looks like a Orient dress watch to the untrained eye, that person is deeply in to watches.
I absolutely love this series! It's fun when someone asks about a watch I have on and I provide a brief history/description. I like introducing people to horology.
I'd like to have that she boss 🤣. Vulcain , as it reads 'The watch for presidents' is greatly underrated although it's a very good brand. Trying to make a selection of swiss watches is hard: you missed Tissot, Certina, Longines, Breguet, Oris IWC, VC, JLC just to name a few...
Would love a video of what watch or watches the winner of the shopping spree won. I know for myself was very fun to dream and quite stressful to pick out favorites! Let's all live vicariously through the lucky winner!
I think some of these go against the exact premise you stated in the begining. Ressence? Vulcain? They have one watch that just comes in a few differing colors? I think Ressence is the definition of a startup. Tutima, I had never heard of them but at least they have numerous offerings. Grossman? Maybe if you run in circles where they can typically drop $40k+ on a watch. The Hanhart, Fortis, Zodiac picks I can get behind. History, multiple models, not in a large number of stores and must be sought out and still relatively affordable.
Consider starting with "What's on your wrist?" as your intro, especially if it highlights a watch that represents the theme of your video? It's a fun and engaging way to get viewers excited about watches.
Zodiac still hasn’t gotten its QC under control yet. I bought a Super Seawolf two weeks ago. The STP movement quit after 1 week. I wound it, hacked it to set the time and it would not start up again. Between that, the gritty winding, and the dial defects I found (dimples in the enamel), I would caution anyone looking to purchase one.
I'm still seeing a lot of stories like this. I love Zodiac's design style, and I've been wanting to pick up a Seawolf for ages, but I've seen too many bad experiences to feel comfortable buying one at the moment.
Teddy sir, i have long said that alrhough i love watches i could NEVER buy a premium watch to myself........no no i would NEVER do that. however, i have no problem AT ALL in gifting premium watches to other people. Part of that purpose is in showing the person how valuable their own time is to themselves.......a Rolex for example thanks V
Exactly on point. People who wear these brands care what they are wearing, not what other people think what you are wearing.
Every time I see a Moritz Grossmann, I appreciate them more and more. Something clear jewels and purpled hands that really draws me in. Clean simple, while offering still incredible detail.

My dady bought one NKUWAN and he loves it. It had been there for over 10 years when he went out with it.
I have been lusting for a Vulcain Cricket for years. 10k more Teddy!!! Congratz in advance. Well deserved 1M sub.
Great picks Teddy! And another great topic to cover. You never run out of ideas for great video productions!
Fortis and their space watches speak to my watch collector & nerdiness tendencies. I love the Amadee-20
Secret grails for me would be the OMEGA Marstimer and the Clive Cussler edition DOXA😊
Invicta is the real class act for high end watch collectors.
I know you mean it sarcastic but my invicta pro diver is a joy and for this budget even very accurate. I wear it right now to be honest 😊
I might not have Invicta on my buy list… but I also wouldn’t buy every Rolex. Which is to say there is a difference between buying invicta v. Buying one of “those” invictas. Whatever my watch bros buy, I hope they wear it in good health, even if I don’t have the stones to tell them it looks better on their wrist.
😂😂😂
The 1953 is actually pretty nice. I put mine on a oysterflex clone band.
That’s just flat out false, no real watch collectors would be seen wearing an Invicta, real watch enthusiasts wear Fossil, only posers wear invicta.
always an education with your videos teddy. Amazing stuff !
Can’t wait to see you hit 1M Teddy, keep up the great work.
Great video, Teddy. My mind immediately went to Doxa but it looks like it was covered in a previous video.
Teddy keep doing what you doing , we really enjoy your podcast and it is the best of allllll others
These are brands you truly wear for yourself, something that reflects curated taste. Great video.
Been eyeing the Hanhart 417 for a while - it’s a proper piece of history 👍
I love Ressence! My Grail watch and lucky to own one for several years now.
lucky you! I have still both kidneys though!
I just got a Zodiac Sea Chron a month ago and it has surpassed all expectations i had. The case thickness measures a little large but really doesnt feel like it on the wrist. I will be looking at getting a Zodiac super sea wolf in the future.
Moritz Grossman watch reference? Incredible dial!
It should be for $50,000!!
Outstanding video. You hit the nail on the head. The only brand I may have added is Sinn. Really enjoy your videos…!
Very interesting video Teddy. I really enjoy the historical references which provide a line of sight from todays mechanical watch brands into our past.
I think some vanguard microbrands like Christopher Ward, Zelos, and Brew definitely give enthusiast vibes, as well
Not sure I’d include Christopher Ward as they are fairly mainstream getting close to fashion.
Certainly Zelos. Farer is another I have been admiring, their colorful dials are great.
I would also include Chronoswiss!
4:20 My lord that Vulcain is absolutely beautiful in that color. I never knew about this one, but it immediately spoke to me
dope video I have always loved the obscure lesser known brands
A few brands that come to mind are Sinn , Damasko, Dornblueth and Sohn, a Seiko automatic and any vintage piece
Dornblueth and Sohn, yes please.
Seiko can pound sand. :) They obviously don't care much about QC these days. Given their movements are on all sorts of microbrands that CAN line up indexes, I don't see why anyone would want to pay their elevated prices for watches they obviously don't care about.
@@JF-lt5zcI would say because Seiko is cooler and they will be around longer than the other micro brands.

Fortis is a classic! We had a cuckoo fortis when i was a kid, excellent clock. You got me interested in tutima.
Thanks for helping develop my watch addiction.
Hope to see you soon at your new store near the Breitlings.
I didn’t know about Vulcain until just now! Gotta be one of my top new fav design languages in a brand.
Great video! I'm always eager to hear new stories about watch brands with great heritage, but I think that wrist watch fan after all could be hiding even behind Casio or Invicta watch of course 😀
Love the videos. How about one best rectangular and/or square dials? Thank you!
That Grossman was beautiful. Thanks for the content!
Vulcain Fortis n Zodiac fantastic…about the last two just Perfect!!!!!💪👏👍❤️❤️
Coming up one one milly, Teddy!!! Been here since 200k subscribers!
One of these days I'm getting a Hanhart...
so what?
My Hanhart is one of the few watches I get comments on. I've had it for quite a while, and I find I love it more and more every time I put it on. You won't regret it.
Me, too.
Yeah, the 39mm 417 ES chronographs of the past few years are reeaaaally attractive, so is the 40mm Mk I monopusher.

I bought a Tutima FX UTC 22 years ago graduating high school, sadly it got lost but just was able to replace it! I always wanted one of the 798’s.
I love the look of Fortis & Tutima

I was going to suggest Certina, but awareness of the brand in North America seems to be growing.
Yes!!!!!! Fortis also invented the first automatic watch, water resistant watches, and first and only mechanical chronograph alarm watch.
Nope. First automatic was Perrelet.
@@Nudel-nc1cpfirst automatic wrist watch. Look it up. There’s plenty of information on John Harwood and Fortis.
Zodiac is my favorite brand right now. High priced, historical and awesome. Love my Olympos.
Love this one Teddy. Great work. I would add Ulysse Nardin. If I see one of those in the wild, I know I’ve found a fellow watch nerd. 🤓
Thanks Teddy!
love my tutima military pilot with lemania movement
Another great video Teddy thx. By the way is it a Marathon GSAR on your wrist 😎

For most of these watch brands you'll need a detective to even find an AD nearby where you live.
Great video! The Cricket is beautiful. Where would you put O&W on the list? I find myself drawn to the function and aesthetics.
While I don't know any dead giveaways for watch enthusiasts, I do know you won't walk out a watch meet alive if you wear Hublot or an MVMT to it.
That’s not true about Hublot with respect but 100% true of MVMT!😂😂

I think Cuervo y Sobrinos should be up there, a very unique brand and has a very interesting history!
All dat AMZWATCH watches sssssoooooooo gorgeous！
Tutima is cool. Wish they were a tad more affordable. I really like the Saxon One series.
Hi Teddy, have you done video on Union Glashutte? Could you please share your opinion on it if you haven't?
id love to see you cover the Sinn financial district watches... largely under the radar but quite interesting from Sinn
A very interesting and enjoyable video.
Teddy doing Teddy things!
adore my Novonaut First Edition 🥳🤠
Good video teddy moritz crosman is expensive watch how mutch cost?💯👍
In the high-end segment I would say Vacheron Constantin and Breguet are dead giveaways. I truly respect people wearing those brands. Bravo
but quite known brands though, especially Vacheron.

Hey Teddy, what is your opinion about MIDO watches? Thanks :)
cool frames, bro . what model is this ?
My first watch was given brand citizen 70s Today i wear seiko kinetic gmt must say Bravissimo
good choices. I probably would have added Sinn to the list.

Besides watches for space, Fortis was originally known as the first manufacturer of an automatic movement.
Not true.
