I bought my brother a Hamilton Khaki Field from Teddy’s online store. A week after purchasing got a call from someone on his team checking in to see how the watch was treating us and making sure everything was good. Class act and amazing customer service. I know this store will be huge success. Congrats!
This kind of thing goes very far, humbled by their great service.
i wish i had a brother like you
Granted how much you paid for the watch vs its material cost, labor, commissions etc. The amount of profit they made from you, a tiny sales follow up call is the least they can do.
Couldn't happen to a nicer guy good luck teddy 🎉🎉🎉

This might sound a little weird but, as someone who’s been watching Teddy’s videos since pretty much the beginning, I’m so proud of this guy. He’s a complete stranger to many of us but, the way he introduced us to so many watch brands and opened up eyes to all the different nuisances of the watch industry. Couldn’t be more grateful for his knowledge of the business. Seeing someone live out their passion and succeed is priceless. Cheers Teddy 🍻🤝
My though exactly, been watching Teddy almost since he started and watching him and his channel grow is fantastic
It's true, he's more of a watch news reporter than providing a one to one personality. Unusual to see for a successful TH-cam channel, when there's a host. Good for him
Well put (and not "weird" at all). Perhaps we're just moved when one so young and talented translates their passion into reality in such a short time. Social Media's a cesspool of fraudulent grandiosity. It's a bit surreal seeing Teddy's low-key (but impassioned) integrity knock dreams so thoroughly "out of the park" before our very eyes. Today, a good man won.
It does sound a little weird, and I completely agree and feel the same. Just happy for the guy and will definitely be visiting if I ever find myself in that part of the world 😊
Make sure you support Teddy by buying some of the watches there
Talk is cheap ya
Congratulations!!!!
Congrats . I never had a reason to come to Ohio but now it's on my bucket list.
Stopped by the store today just to browse and was warmly greeted by your staff. Best of luck in this new endeavor!
Teddy went from a young college graduate fumbling through his first TH-cam watch video to nearly 1m subscribers. He’s interviewed watch brand CEO’s of multiple manufacturers in Germany and Switzerland while growing his online presence and store now representing nearly 40 brands! We’ve watched Teddy grow up on camera. We met his Father,his friends,his future wife and of course, Mr Wonderful. And now Teddy is opening his own luxury watch store!!Congrats to you Teddy!! You’ve invested in yourself, your company, your community and your BRAND! You are a true American success story. Continued success!
He needs to ditch Mr Wonderful .
A man that's amazed watch's exist for under 1 K .😂
He also married a stunning woman, Courtney Ryan. Also has YT channel. He’s killing it in life currently.
Why American , are there no successful French people ?
Don’t forget he’s a rapper too!
lol his dad is a billionaire. let's not pretend he had every conceivable advantage in life. aint no self-made dude.
Been watching for years. Teddy is the same guy. Grateful, appreciative, articulate, humble, timeless and has fun.
Congrats Teddy. 👍👏
All the cool watch stuff aside, the pride you have in opening a store in the city where you’re from really got me. Thanks Teddy, hope to get out there soon.
For a second I thought you were trolling us with the title lol
In times when many people (understandably) decide to focus on online stores, it's great to see someone who dares to open a physical one.
Congrats and good luck. You deserve it.
Next milestone: 1 million subs
He named the store Teddy and decided to sell Teddy build a bears.
I’m really proud of you, as a long time viewer! Your humility and unselfishness when it comes to sharing information is aspirational. Apart from the watches - as a photographer, I really appreciated the time and effort you put into sharing lighting setups and insights into product photography. I pray that God will bless you and your family with your business!
Congrats for realizing your dream! I'm on the other side of the world so I won't be visiting any time soon! I'm new to horology, but one thing I've noticed from many of the watch 'boutiques' especially here in Australia is the 'watch snobbery' that goes on is just off the meter. Apart from a few (like the Seiko boutiques) not many are accommodating or don't understand that many of the luxury brands are 'aspirational' - I won't be able to afford ANY of them - but I still admire them, maybe one day will buy one. I hope your boutique reflects your relaxed down to earth YT presence, you truly love watches! Yet you understand not everyone can afford or is even interested in the 'high end' brands - but we appreciate and admire the craftsmanship & engineering none the less. Best of luck going forward, hobbies are meant to be inclusive and about passion... this is clearly a labour of love and passion for you!
Very insightful comment! Watch snobbery down under is just a defence mechanism to hide their inner bogan 😂
Congratulations Teddy! I'm very happy to see your huge success working with watches knowing how much you love it and how much you have shared that love with us through the years. You've created a brand to be proud of a brand that truly represents what we've known you to be, a genuine humble man that's always professional always respectful and trustful.
I'm so happy to see this happen. I've been watching for a few years now and can see the passion that Teddy has for watches. Congratulations.
If it weren't for you and your team I would not have delved into this hobby. Thank you Teddy!
Very proud of you! You deserve success in this venture, you have definitely earned it! By the time it’s all said and done I hope there’s one of these boutiques in every major city in the country . I think if you continue putting the effort you have been into what you’re already doing the sky is the limit!
During the covid times a few watch guys became very popular indeed. Almost all have run their course of maintaining my interest . The exception to the rule is Teddy who has consistently hit the right notes with informative, compelling, clear and very broad content. I am really pleased that his enthusiasm and hard work has been realised with the setting up of his own brick and mortar store. Congratulations Teddy, it’s well deserved and I hope you have fun and great success. P.S.Nearly there now with 1m subscribers. 🎉
CLEVELAND ROCKS!!!
CLEVELAND ROCKS!!!
Thank you for supporting your hometown! O-H!
I-O! (I live in Oklahoma now but I’ll never take my Ohio State Buckeyes license plate frame off my car, and will never not shout back a hearty “I-O” when I hear “O-H!!”)
Open your next store in Cincinnati.
Congrats!
Cleveland was ranked #1 worse city in America to raise a family. They are top 5 in the nation repeatedly on robberies and smash and grabs.
I hope Teddy has amazing security. Would hate to see him on the news.
@@travr6 By who?? Even if that was on a list those lists are really BS.....
*If you want any outside perspective on that store from someone first time on the channel, here it is:* It creates a feeling like many luxury stores, which basically have an aura of "un-inviting" to people who are to buy a luxury watch but don't themselves live in luxury from day to day. It creates the aura of "you must fit in, in order to buy from us", rather than passion, which is contradictionary to 11:48. Anyways, well done! Not many can claim to have opened a luxury store in their life and that is a reached milestone on life.
That's a confidence issue and not a design issue... Going into a store like this if you don't live this lifestyle daily, is a rewarding treat to yourself and anytime ive been in a lecoultre boutique or high end design store, you're treated very nicely and a bit spoiled. Never have I felt "you must fit in". For example, I have 2 vintage LeCoultres. In NYC, I'll tell you, those have garnished more conversation from the staff (and each one was arouund $2500) and how some have seen maybe one some never at all. Did i inherit or how long did it take me to find, the story behind them, etc.
@@RealityNonSequitur *Exactly my point!* It gives that feeling of unwelcoming, unless confident enough...
I'd say it has to do with the location and the brands chiming in. At my local AD, it is a standalone building, 1 floor. The outside, they have real railroad and oil refinery equipment placed in such a way that you know it's not uninviting from far away. This town's most notable things back in the day was trains, oil and agriculture. It's a Rolex AD though. Which if it was in Beverly Hills, it would have all the pomp in the world. Once you go inside though, it looks like the same Beverly Hills AD. Just as much security as the one in Beverly Hills even though it's a small town. You got start somewhere, the location is good for the foot traffic but blends in with the rest of the stuff around. You have some flexibility with how Omega or brands want their brand to be shown but Teddy is also thinking about future brands he hasn't yet procured. I think he went with the safe choice. Maybe to make it a little less uptight, he should get his guys running the store to showcase a watch once a month on the channel to melt the ice. It would help with the aura you describing when you feel like you kind of know the guys a little on TH-cam and not 2 guys in a suit in a pretentious store. Especially by mid west standards.
Best of luck Teddy! I love your honest, straightforward approach to watches and how you project them to the public. Would love for you to carry Tudor, my favorite brand. Congratulations.
Congrats Teddy. So happy for you to open your own store. Wish your boutique every success and look forward to seeing more of your boutiques opening in the future.
I’ve watched you for years now and I’m delighted to see your first boutique. But, the reason I like your videos is the relaxed feel to them.
Dot h the suits and ties. Relax in your store and be more chilled. Watch people are watch people. Relax, enjoy it and don’t put up corporate barriers
Hope it all goes really well!
Humble, true watch lover. When passion and persistence come together, the result is inevitable. Sincere congratulations, and every success in your future work. Teddy found his way, and he tells us that everyone has their own.
wow what an accomplishment! The Teddy space inside the store is genius!
Congrats on all of your success Teddy! I started watching your channel only 6 months ago and have learned so much about the world of watches from you.
Good luck Teddy! Well deserved! Hard work pays off! Make sure to make the watch buying experience an unforgettable experience because a lot of these AD and watch stores have really forgotten that. Make that person feel special as they are putting that watch on their wrist! Stay Blessed 💯🙏🏻
This is absolutely awesome Teddy! I've been watching your channel for years now and I think that you're one of the most genuine watch enthusiasts. Having a watch boutique like this must really be the pinnacle of enjoying the watch world and industry. I am so happy for you and I wish to you the best years to come with your new achievements.
Teddy,
Congratulations!!! I’ve been watching you for the past 3 yrs. You allowed me to buy my first luxury watch. I was well informed by your videos before my first purchase. Before I retire from the military next year, I need one more watch. I would love to come to your store and buy from you.
Thanks again!
Wow! Congratulations Teddy, it's such a remarkable achievement. Like many here who have watched you for years I wish you continued success and am pleased that your integrity, humility and reliability have led you and your company to this point. I worked at the Time + Tide Watch Discovery Studio in my home town of Melbourne, Australia and we had a similar ethos in that it was a watch enthusiast space that also sold watches. I'm sure many in the area that stop by your studio will feel a similar welcoming atmosphere and enjoy sharing their watch experiences. Thanks for all the content over the years 🙏😊
Huge congratulations.
The store looks great.
Excellent choice of brands.
Especially Grand Seiko ❤
so happy for you teddy you really deserve it so looking foward to buying my grand seiko from you store . Ive always was loved how you show case watches in all price ranges
Congratulations Teddy! Well deserved. You are on to something that could be the beginning of something big to come! Good luck 🍀
Congratulations Teddy, you’ve got a good team behind you! John definitely stands out as a proper, honest gentleman.
Whoever made this video did a great job! Awesome shot choices, camera angles, top notch!
Congratulations - the space looks amazing! I am sure it will be a runaway success 😀
Congrats Teddy!! Been watching since you taught us how to do over-under on NATO strap.......now here you are with your own store. Bless you and your family!
Is so great to see that things are going so well for you Teddy. I have learned pretty much all I know about our watches from you. Congratulations on the store, I have no doubt it will go very well! ❤
Congrats to you and your team. Absolutely well deserved. You earned this Teddy. I’ve enjoyed watching you progress to this point and look forward to seeing what’s next. If I am in Cleveland I will make it a point to stop by and see if I can add something special to my collection. Continued success to you all.
Amazing video, especially the beginning where you show it coming together and talking to your team. Good luck!
Congratul!ations on your new store! It's all about the gratitude Teddy!
Teddy, you're a big part of the reason I even got into watch collecting to begin with and I'm so very thrilled to see your boutique store become a reality for you.
Teddy, we are so immensely proud of you. CONGRATULATIONS on your new store, and I trust and pray this will be the first of many more to come. The first time I saw your video, I was intrigued by your sincerity, honesty, and knowledge. I am looking to purchase six watches to add to my collection, and some of the brands are not in your store; however, I will only buy them from you because I trust you. God bless you, Teddy, and may success infinitely abound upon you and your endeavors.
Clevelander here, look forward to stopping by soon! Congrats!
Can't wait to visit your new store Teddy! Im here local & have been a big fan of yours for quite the while. Looking forward to buying my 1st real proper watch from you. Considering a Grand Seiko.
Congrats, Teddy! I hope your in store sales are matched by your online sales. Kudos to you!
I bought a leather strap off your site in 2019 - amazing to see how far you’ve come!
Incredible. I didn't realize all of the fine details in this proccess.
So proud of this guy. Picked up my first good watch, a Timex Weekender, from his recommendations. Hoping to visit the store someday and pickup my first Omega. Good luck, Teddy!
Very happy for you. Good luck with your endeavor!
Looking forward to making the trip down this summer. Congratulations Teddy!
Love seeing ambitious people with a dream making them come true!❤ best of luck!
Ha! Crocker Park. I grew up in Cleveland and CP is one of the only places I could see a luxury watch boutique actually working. Maybe I’ll stop by for a browse and some giant chess next time I’m back in town…
Congratulations Teddy. I have been watching you from the very early days. Very refreshing to see your journey. Great to see Grand Seiko in your boutique. Good luck 🍀
Congratulations Teddy. Have been watching your channel for years and enjoying your content. You didn't get sucked into the drama and kept your focus on your business. I'm sure you will use continue to use this channel to sell the brands in your new shop, but please remain honest and innovative. Blessings!
Such a wonderful success story. Congratulations Teddy Baldassarre. Wishing you success that you can pass on to other generations in Westlake, Ohio.
Very happy for you Kid, you deserve it.!!!
Teddy is a humble man who made me love the world of watches.. Every watches that I bought were based on his reviews.. Which of course I adjusted to my budget.. Good Luck Tedd.. Success with your boutique 👍👍👍
Congratulations, Teddy!
Congratulations Teddy! This is so awesome! Wishing you all the best!
Been watching Teddy's videos for a while now and I've learnt so much from him. He's an inspiration to young entrepreneurs. Really happy for him that he's achieved one of his goals in getting his first store. Well deserved
I had no idea Teddy and co. were from Cleveland! As the video started I was like "Is that Crocker Park?" and it is!
Excited to take a trip over to the west side and visit!
This is a huge step, i really wish them success its very hard to keep the retail intensity to support the staff and the cost of a retail outlet, hopefully the online store will balance out the ups and downs. The next time i come to Ohio i will go and buy a watch the Junghens, Grand Seiko and Omega all really appeal. Also nice to see people dressed nicely
Man, I love it. I would think that, given the location and your roots in Cleveland and Ohio in general, a Ball counter would be an excellent addition to your shop.
Teddy, I wish you all the success you deserve with your new luxury watch store! Great to see this!
If there's anyone more deserving of this achievement and level of success, it's you. Congratulations.
Wow Teddy! Seems like yesterday I just subscribed to your channel and now you have a brick and mortar store. Good for you! So happy and wish you more success!
Super proud of you Teddy, well deserved 🎉
Nice. I think you nailed the warm and inviting theme.
Very Happy for Teddy and everyone in his company! Congrats and have fun on this new journey.
That's a huge financial commitment with ongoing overhead costs. Best of luck and hope your venture does well.
Congratulations and best of luck. Great mix of brands you have in store that are indeed great value! The only surprise is you don't have a JLC section.
My favourite watch TH-cam channel by a margin. l bought my first Grand Seiko because of Teddy, and the same thing could be said about my recent purchase of an Omega Constellation. Great content and tone-of-voice. Great mix of interviews and watch reviews. Impressive to see that a store is now added to the mix. Well done!
Definitely a dress for success boutique. Look forward to visiting.
What ? Teddy Baldassarre ? Love that guy ! I have been subscribed to his channel for a long time. No wonder he is always smiling and cheerful ! You are the probably the one to talked him into growing a moustache, and incipient beard ? Anyway you both are unique and truly exceptional people ! Congratulations to both of you !
You should be proud Teddy B. If I'm down that way from the the North of the border I will come thank you in person for your commentary and coverage over so many years. I've enjoyed bud! Cheers
Congratulations Teddy, I wish you the absolute best!!

Congrats Teddy. Look at how far you’ve come, simply being you and doing what you enjoy in the way you believe in doing it. Very best wishes for the store - I’m 10,000 miles away down here in Australia, but I hope to visit one day. 😊
Well done Teddy the store looks great and I’m sure visitors will love the warm welcome and no obligation atmosphere to discover the timepieces in a safe and comfortable environment. Well done that man, it’s onwards and upwards - a business built on a life’s passion is never a job it’s a calling from above.
Absolutly awesome to see the channel grow to what it is and now coming out of TH-cam into a brick and mortar.
So cool, congrats on the store and all of the hard work that went into it! The store is beautiful and if im ever in Cleveland I’ll be stopping in!
Congrats Teddy, truly a huge milestone! you should be very proud.
