I got my first Rolex in the early 1990's. A reference 14000 Air-King. It was a 34mm cased workhorse. Kept accurate time and it was easy to read .... day & night. When I started out collecting it was 1940's military watches both issued and private purchased. The standard size was 28.5mm. Pilots, infantry, takers and sailors all wore them and they were quite effective. It was a blessing when 42mm and 46mm watches caught on because the prices on the small watches came down. This Mathey-Tissot is a gem. Reminds me of my old Air-King!
We do have smaller watches on the market. I'm wearing a 34mm new model Seiko right now. It's readily available, too. The secret is it was in the women's catalogue. This is the SSA785, but there's plenty of others. Essentially it's the same as the 40,5mm SRPB41 blue moon cocktail time but with a 33,8mm case, no date and a circular open heart. Also 260€ cheaper at my retailer... 😉 I did change the blue strap for a brown one though.
@@JasonTheWatchGuy that is what I say, which swiss movement? Peseux disappeared in 1933,to be absorbed by ebauches sa, which was then absorbed by ETA, which does not produce any pesuex 244. I would recommend you open this watch back to control. Not mentioning that the Mathey-tissot is operated by a wholesale supplier that only exists since 2013 through a po box as no manufacturing facilities and does mostly imports...
Hi Jase, I recently purchased an old school tag heuer formula one chronograph ca1212-1. It's 38mm and it wears great on my 7 1/2 inch wrist. I have various watches from 38mm up to 46mm but I have to say , I do now prefer 40mm and lower. My grail was always a orange bezel omega planet ocean in 45mm , but now I can afford one, I won't ever get one, because overall they are too bulky and thick, even though they do a smaller version now. I think that's the reason behind rolexes success, they design a tough watch, but always remain elegant but simple in design. I'm not sure if I could pull off a 34mm , maybe 36mm is my limit. That looked good on your wrist, and looked bigger than the size suggests. Norwich are bouncing back in style, fair play to them, but I'm a leeds fan , so hoping to avenge the 4-3 loss to the reds , unless your a toffee ?
I’ve been looking forward to this review and it didn’t disappoint! Really lovely looking vintage Explorer homage. I’ve got a 39mm homage which I love but it’s hard to resist the domed crystal on this one. I’ve got a couple of old Seiko 5s which are on the smaller side and I’ve got to say, I really like them. I get they aren’t for everyone but I get used to the smaller wrist presence really quickly. I’d definitely recommend people give smaller diameter watches a go.
You need to look at the Smiths explorer homage at 36mm. Google Time Factors. They are UK based. A bit of a bump up from this pricepoint though. They tend to use Miyota 9000 series automatic movements. If you want to dig deeper, and you like military watches, consider the VAER A12 which will be forthcoming in 36mm handwound (ETA 7001) swiss made with 20mm lugs, just about the same dimensions as the old Rolex 1016 explorer. This watch is a dirty dozen homage, with 100m WR.
It looks good on your wrist (probably same size of mine) but I can't imagine buying a watch that small. If you do buy it can you give your thoughts on it after a few weeks of owning it. I'm don't normally get a watch without a date (only own two) but you seem to be well impressed with that one.
Hmmmm very weird the 34 case! Back in the day it was the AirKings you could get in that size. Not a huge one for homages myself however a great comparison would be the Smiths Everest 36mm . The brand name has a bit more gravitas to the time the Explorer came out and of course a Smiths watch aswell as a Rolex was worn by Norgay and Hillary up Mount Everest ! But you’d need to find an owner of one as those are hard to review I gather! Take care matey
I was actually put off the Smiths by the size but this little beauty has really changed my opinion of sizes I should be looking at! Thanks mate, hope you're looking after yourself too!
Hi Jason, loving the channel. You're reviews are always honest and down to earth. If you get a chance you may want to take a look at the Sea King SK-1. It's sold out but maybe they'd consider loaning you a demo model?. Keep doing, what your doing 👍
I dunno, I've had a pretty underwhelming experience with Mathey Tissot. I bought a Mathy I Auto back in January, and I'm pretty sure they did zero QC checks on that watch, which was pretty surprising for a watch with "Swiss Made" on the dial. One of the lugs has a small but noticeable indent, the dial (which is the centerpiece for the watch) has 4-6 small black specks of trash on it (which really contrasts with the ice blue dial, which is why I noticed it straight away), the dial has a few smudges/scratches on it, the applied text wasn't finished properly (there's a bit of metal leftover from the molding process on the "o" in "automatic"), the lume was shockingly bad (looks like they used low quality lume tape, which not only is very weak and unevenly applied with dark spots, it's not stuck onto the applied indicies straight. The lume was so bad at first I assumed it didn't have any.) Also, the bracelet was pretty cheap feeling with hollow end links, I didn't bother sizing it, I just put on a silver seatbelt nylon strap I had lying around. And the worst part is, if it didn't have these QC issues, it would've been a beautiful watch. The ice blue dial, even as tarnished as it is on my example, shines with elegance in sunlight. And the STP 1-11 movement inside is highly finished and runs quite well (after hacking it to my gravitymaster GShock, it seems to run at about +5 secs a day). It's also not cheap enough to simply throw away, I've passed my return window, and I'm probably not going to have an amazing time trying to sell it with all the defects this watch has. So yeah, Mathey-Tissot gets a dissapointed yikes from me. This one's gonna languish in the corner of one of my watch boxes for eternity most likely.
$400? I could part with that...you're right the watch looks amazingly well built, id have liked to see a satin black dial or enamel. The size is great and specially from a reviewers point of view, it looks amazingly well built to reiterate. I didnt catch what movement this uses?
I’m looking for a watch $5000 cad or lower that is a great everyday watch. Timeless design, date window and waterproof to at least 100m. Any suggestions? Thanks.
The box has "Swiss made since 1886" is the watch Swiss made or just the Box. Also I hate unboxing videos. I'm not really interested in how it's packaged. If I see a watch I like I have to go elsewhere find out the specs. If the video said unboxing and first impressions I probably would have skipped the video. That being said I still appreciate you going out of your way to make videos for us. Thank you.
I have my doubts about how much of that box was made in Switzerland 🤔 that's very fair haha! I've been trying to slim them down lately but my views seem to be better on the unboxings than the actual reviews
I am not a happy camper!!!!!….....……didn't receive a notification for this one, YT let me down....this is a fantastic looking piece, ticks a lot of boxes for me, EX1 is a grail for me....I'd have to try one on, the size has got me wondering....first impressions are tip top....🏴⌚🏴⌚
What are they playing at! I really love it, another one is the San Martin homage they're releasing. If you want to try one of these I can loan you it for a few weeks when it's been to another reviewer
@@JasonTheWatchGuy got a lot on just now, going to be moving soon....will definitely take you up on that once all is settled brother, most kind....🏴⌚🏴⌚
The Smiths Everest did the same thing to me when I first saw it, 36mm but amazing. If I didn't have that i'd be all over this & I have a 7.5" wrist, smaller watches are cool.
@@JasonTheWatchGuy In the last 6 months the largest watch I have bought is a 38mm everything else 35-37mm, I even bought a 25mm tank that's 4.7mm thick & I think it looks fine, wears like a strand of cotton.
That's a really good size on you, Jase. Bracelet looks great too. Wearing my Smith's Everest Explorer today, itself a rather diminutive 36mm. Dinky watches rule!
@@JasonTheWatchGuy Sorry for the dig. Yes, you are correct. Marlon Brando (The Godfather) wore a Rolex 31mm and nobody would have called him feminine (even though there was that strange Larry King interview). Anyway, it will be interesting if smaller sizes make their way back into the mainstream, especially with the vintage market being so hot. Until then, I'm staying comfy with in baller range with my gold fifty fathoms.
Its a nice watch for children, very old men & ladies! Its lucky I'm not one of your friend otherwise I'd be ripping on you all the time "My girlfriend is after a new watch. I told her to get advice from you!" That kinda thing! None stop! As long as you like the watch & you don't mind the odd friendly dig, its all good!
@@jamesg4670 Wow some one is very sensitive. Ok snowflake. I see you don't understand banter. A member of the woke brigade are you by any chance? Try and lighten up. Maybe your not from the UK so you don't understand the type of humour male friends have with each other.
Nice watch but I have a lot of concerns... Mathey-tissot has history, right but now belongs to an obscure po box wholesale company (Swiss Watches Partners SA) registered in 2013, does not have any manufacturing in Switzerland. With only contact possible through email under another site name info@almonds.ch. With no terms and conditions on their website... Already kind of so-so... They mention a mouvement 'pesuex' which doesn't exist, there used to be a 'peseux' (note the swap of letters) ébauche manufacturer in the 1930s, but this went through all kind of different companies and now is under ETA umbrella. The brand pesuex does not exist nor tge real one peseux sell any movement. I smell the Chinese factory using false claims and history of an old recognized brand, to sell some unknown product at a higher price... Don't take me bad I enjoy Chinese watches (SanMartin, Heimdallr, steeldive...) just always run away from those trying to hide behind obscure relation with an old brand... Big bell ringing nononono.....
What a beautiful watch. It is the exact size that I would want but I am turned off by the auto movement. It is 2022; why are people obsessing over mechanical watches? Nobody was wetting themselves for mechanical watches a decade ago. If they pine for the past why are they not wearing waistcoats so they can ditch the feminine wrist watches and have a manly pocket watch. The sooner this fad dies out the better. Seiko produce the VH31a movement which would have been a perfect fit for this watch and would have enabled them to reduce the thickness to 9mm.
I collect watches. I build a few and I fix a few. To go down so low in size as to be 1950 or so is confussing. Today watches are jewelry more than important time keepers. Everyone has a cell phone for time and date keeping. So why wear a watch? No why wear something so small it is not noticed? Now that is the point.
Goddammit Jason 🤦🏾♂️more food for thought i see this brand all over Amazon didn't think nothing of it...il do more research, im a bigger guy but that does look sweet and I own a 35 timex that don't look out of place ...more homework 😁
This one is exclusive to AMWG, they collaborated with Mathey-Tissot on it. They've done really well and it's definitely something to consider if this is your style, I love mine
Warning information about this movement : Wanting to get to the bottom of things (peseux being operated by fhp1923, a legal consulting company registered in 2020 with 50k swiss francs, which address is just over a steakhouse and Mathey-Tissot, operated by SWP Swiss Watches Partners SA, founded in 2013 a watch wholesaler, and being all over the place with their movement descriptions and pics on their internet site even showing IT20 movements from a company that bankrupt in 2017...) I requested some further proof from mathey tissot about this movement, proof of production in Switzerland and their SIP number which is a mandatory mark each swiss made watch/movement must have. Their reply is more than ambiguous '' Our company is in contact with Swiss Watch Federation since few years, but every step is well known and agreed with Swiss Watch Federation. We are actually working to produce new movements, and we will send them soon to the Swiss Watch Federation for approval and validation. The internet site is actually closed, as we wish re-novate it with the new movements. ... Our company purchase swiss components mainly from the french side of Swiss, and assemble in the Canton of Ticino. About the SIP, the Swiss Watch Federations wrote us: “Confidentiality: SIP code is confidential and can’t be disclosed to third parties.'' Signed FHP 1923 S.A. Grand’Rue 27 CH2034 - Peseux. Switzerland Tel : +41.22.548.12.00 Peseux is in canton de Neuchâtel. The phone number is the official number of the company solaraqua.ch which milk another brand T. HEATON. And operated by AM Mobility LLC. A comercial intermediate which is in canton de valais. They also included their 'technical diagrams that mentions 28 jewels and 36h power reserve, while they stipulate 44h on their internet site. For info the only 2 eta 2824-2 clones with 28 jewels are : Liaoning Peacock SL3000, and Sea Gull TY2130 Now again this is all very suspicious and disturbing, you do what you want with all this!
34mm perfect watch size .... ummmm no .... 40 or 42mm perfect on me ... I can get away with 38 to 44 without looking ridiculous ... especially on my 7.5 inch wrist. Will it fill the gap and work for those with smaller wrists yes. I do have a 34mm watch btw, my vintage JLC, but because of the size it does get limited wrist time, especially with a larger collection. On a side note I've heard many comments by reviewers and subscribers saying they are getting tired or watches with NH35 movements .. however I can add that in additon I am personally getting tired of watches with Mercedes hands .. so many other options out there I wish even budget watch companies would mix it up more.

@@JasonTheWatchGuy Sorry for the dig. Yes, you are correct. Marlon Brando (The Godfather) wore a Rolex 31mm and nobody would have called him feminine (even though there was that strange Larry King interview). Anyway, it will be interesting if smaller sizes make their way back into the mainstream, especially with the vintage market being so hot. Until then, I'm staying comfy with in baller range with my gold fifty fathoms.
Yeh I'd sit comfy in that range too haha! I'm still playing around in the budget market 😂
@@JasonTheWatchGuy yup air king was 34mm back then.
Ummm... So you liked it then? 😉Thanks for the review.
A little bit! Haha
That does fit you nicely. Too small for a guy my size. It is a good looking watch. Thanks for the unboxing!
Thank you sir! Thanks for turning up and watching too 😁
Its a nice watch for children, very old men & ladies! Its lucky I'm not one of your friend otherwise I'd be ripping on you all the time "My girlfriend is after a new watch. I told her to get advice from you!" That kinda thing! None stop! As long as you like the watch & you don't mind the odd friendly dig, its all good!
Wow you need a big watch to feel masculine....feel sorry for you buddy
@@jamesg4670 Wow some one is very sensitive. Ok snowflake. I see you don't understand banter. A member of the woke brigade are you by any chance? Try and lighten up. Maybe your not from the UK so you don't understand the type of humour male friends have with each other.
If I had a small penis I'd probably feel the same way as you Michael, big watches don't compensate buddy 😉
@@michaelperry9261 im from new york...sorry i think your sense of humor is trash
I've wondered about these
Theyre brilliant
That watch is a Beauty and unlike Smiths that is Like unto Pigs to the trough.
You can actually buy this one too haha
Card is Great Wave.
Nice watch but I have a lot of concerns...
Mathey-tissot has history, right but now belongs to an obscure po box wholesale company (Swiss Watches Partners SA) registered in 2013, does not have any manufacturing in Switzerland. With only contact possible through email under another site name info@almonds.ch. With no terms and conditions on their website... Already kind of so-so...
They mention a mouvement 'pesuex' which doesn't exist, there used to be a 'peseux' (note the swap of letters) ébauche manufacturer in the 1930s, but this went through all kind of different companies and now is under ETA umbrella. The brand pesuex does not exist nor tge real one peseux sell any movement.
I smell the Chinese factory using false claims and history of an old recognized brand, to sell some unknown product at a higher price...
Don't take me bad I enjoy Chinese watches (SanMartin, Heimdallr, steeldive...) just always run away from those trying to hide behind obscure relation with an old brand... Big bell ringing nononono.....
What a beautiful watch. It is the exact size that I would want but I am turned off by the auto movement.
It is 2022; why are people obsessing over mechanical watches? Nobody was wetting themselves for mechanical watches a decade ago. If they pine for the past why are they not wearing waistcoats so they can ditch the feminine wrist watches and have a manly pocket watch. The sooner this fad dies out the better.
Seiko produce the VH31a movement which would have been a perfect fit for this watch and would have enabled them to reduce the thickness to 9mm.
Nicely proportioned thing and suits your wrist really well. Think the era of big ugly watches might be over soon.
I hope so, this one has really opened my eyes! I never imagined wearing a 34mm watch but it's perfect
Speaking on behalf of all big ugly men , I hope not . Nice watch , but it would be lost on my 8 1/2 inch ham hock .
We are at opposite ends of the ball park haha
It’s beautiful but too small for me.😎
That's fair!
I collect watches. I build a few and I fix a few. To go down so low in size as to be 1950 or so is confussing. Today watches are jewelry more than important time keepers. Everyone has a cell phone for time and date keeping. So why wear a watch? No why wear something so small it is not noticed? Now that is the point.
Man it looks so good, you don't need something to be huge to have impact
👍👍 Nice 👍👍
It's a nice watch. It's too small for me though.
Fair, it's perfect for me
Smiths Watch out
nice wish they would have done 36mm
The size is pretty deceiving, not far different from my Exciton
Goddammit Jason 🤦🏾♂️more food for thought i see this brand all over Amazon didn't think nothing of it...il do more research, im a bigger guy but that does look sweet and I own a 35 timex that don't look out of place ...more homework 😁
This one is exclusive to AMWG, they collaborated with Mathey-Tissot on it. They've done really well and it's definitely something to consider if this is your style, I love mine
Warning information about this movement :
Wanting to get to the bottom of things (peseux being operated by fhp1923, a legal consulting company registered in 2020 with 50k swiss francs, which address is just over a steakhouse and Mathey-Tissot, operated by SWP Swiss Watches Partners SA, founded in 2013 a watch wholesaler, and being all over the place with their movement descriptions and pics on their internet site even showing IT20 movements from a company that bankrupt in 2017...)
I requested some further proof from mathey tissot about this movement, proof of production in Switzerland and their SIP number which is a mandatory mark each swiss made watch/movement must have.
Their reply is more than ambiguous
'' Our company is in contact with Swiss Watch Federation since few years, but every step is well known and agreed with Swiss Watch Federation.
We are actually working to produce new movements, and we will send them soon to the Swiss Watch Federation for approval and validation. The internet site is actually closed, as we wish re-novate it with the new movements.
...
Our company purchase swiss components mainly from the french side of Swiss, and assemble in the Canton of Ticino.
About the SIP, the Swiss Watch Federations wrote us: “Confidentiality: SIP code is confidential and can’t be disclosed to third parties.''
Signed FHP 1923 S.A. Grand’Rue 27 CH2034 - Peseux. Switzerland
Tel : +41.22.548.12.00
Peseux is in canton de Neuchâtel.
The phone number is the official number of the company solaraqua.ch which milk another brand T. HEATON. And operated by AM Mobility LLC. A comercial intermediate which is in canton de valais.
They also included their 'technical diagrams that mentions 28 jewels and 36h power reserve, while they stipulate 44h on their internet site.
For info the only 2 eta 2824-2 clones with 28 jewels are :
Liaoning Peacock SL3000, and
Sea Gull TY2130
Now again this is all very suspicious and disturbing, you do what you want with all this!
Get a manicure mate… watch TH-camr with
Hands like that come on
34mm perfect watch size .... ummmm no .... 40 or 42mm perfect on me ... I can get away with 38 to 44 without looking ridiculous ... especially on my 7.5 inch wrist.
Will it fill the gap and work for those with smaller wrists yes. I do have a 34mm watch btw, my vintage JLC, but because of the size it does get limited wrist time, especially with a larger collection.
On a side note I've heard many comments by reviewers and subscribers saying they are getting tired or watches with NH35 movements .. however I can add that in additon I am personally getting tired of watches with Mercedes hands .. so many other options out there I wish even budget watch companies would mix it up more.
Is a woman watch
Mens watch
@@JasonTheWatchGuy we have to evolve. In this century a 38mm watch is a woman watch
@@juanfor3182 indeed just like ur evolved eyebrows, so manly
