Where to begin, I just want to say that you’ve inspired me so much. I really enjoy all of your content. I’ve started my collection and I’ve really been hit hard by this horological obsession. I look forward to your channel as soon as I can sit and relax. So thank you so very much TGV. Have a blast in Europe and stay sharp. Your a class act, and someone I admire very much.
Thank you so much Ray, I am deeply honoured by your words. I only hope I can live up to your expectations. Enjoy the obsession my friend, it's the best one to have ;-) Best regards, TGV
Northern Italian mountain villages are absolutely the best places on Earth. You've got the truly breathtaking natural beauty along with the wonderful hospitality and warmth of the Italian culture. I'd love to hear about your perception of the differences in the people once you've crossed the border.
So glad to see you out and about in the world and in good health 👌🏼 shame you didn't make room for the Subby to which you could have added more memories with , dear old Subby
Thank you Ryan, I hope you and your family are well. Knowing I have people like you with me in spirit really motivates me. And oooooh yes, wait till you see more of those moves ;-) Best regards, TGV
You're pretty close to me as well now, I am in Croatia, right next to Italy 😃 A nice carry on collection, I would have left the Explorer on the bracelet, as it is wonderful!!
I'm an Anglo-Swiss Australian living in Sydney. Not been to Switzerland for far too long. Looking forward to the horological travelogue that, no doubt, will provide me with the motivation to return. Cheers
A solid selection of watches to accompany you on your travels TGV especially the Rolex with that stunning NATO strap. Have a fantastic time in Switzerland and film us lots of content. Looking forward to being spoilt with some videos from the home of horology! All the best and safe travels. - WSB
LOL, and here I was thinking I did well to curb the pack I took with me! Seriously though, a 6 piece collection is a fantastic amount IMO, enjoy. Thank you Owen, Best regards, TGV
Looking forward to all the new content. It seems you have been a bit scarce on here over the last couple of months. I suspect it's because you have been organising things. Congrats on the Lion Shark and enjoy your trip! Regards!!!
wow looks like a beautiful place. I'd love to take a hike through those mountains. I'm jealous watching you drink your espresso in a valley as I slave away at my studies LOL enjoy yourself.
Thank you my friend, Well, it takes slaving away to get here, so you will be rewarded, hard work always does. Onwards and upwards brother! Best regards, TGV
I'm really jealous, TGV. I'm half Swiss Mennonite and always wanted to visit that area to explore my heritage. It'll be fun living vicariously through you and your camera lens for now. Have a great time . . Ciao and Auf Wiedersehen, my brother.
I am sure one day you will get to explore it yourself, you should be very proud. An amazing part of the world. Thank you brother! Onwards and upwards. Best regards, TGV
Hi TGV So nice to hear from you again. So you're in Italy/Switzerland. Surely have been missing your excellent videos, but some fine content is about to come, I figure😉 Interesting to see you being "forced" to pick a smaller part of your collection. A very healthy exercise when it comes to rethinking, I suppose. And what a stunning selection it is! Sophisticated and with a fantastic eye for real quality. Something that's only possible after years of watch collecting and research.... Exercise in the mountains is very good for your overall condition - but off cause, you know that. Keep up the good work👍
Italy is gorgeous! This is one of my favorite locations of yours by far 😂 Excited to see the rest of the journey. Terrific picks, very well-rounded. Enjoy! :D
You’re looking and sounding quite relaxed and well TGV. Great to see. Best wishes for the whole trip and please take care of the breathing apparatus 😁. I’m looking very much forward to your upcoming videos and stories from your travels and experiences. 👍🏻😎⌚️
Great to see you're already enjoying your pilgrimage! We can't wait to see all the interesting content of your trip. By the way, it looks so beautiful there.... I've been to Austria and the mountains and the nature are just breathtaking! Maybe I can persude my friends to visit Switzerland coming summer on our yearly vacantion trip ;) Anyway, enjoy your well deserved trip!!
Watches are everywhere in Switzerland. Be prepared to find giant Breitling and Rolex adverts on the top of a mountain. I saw the new Breitling Superocean PVD for the first time at the summit of Mont Rouge last August for crying out loud.
Man I just want to thank you for great videos. I wanted to buy my first watch for a long time now and I almost bought Daniel Wellington, but then i found your channel. I bought Seiko 5 and I am extremely happy with it. I am thinking of buying Orient Bambino and Seiko SKX in the. Thanks again and keep making good videos!
THAT is exactly why I make videos! Congrats and enjoy the watch, wear it with pride my friend. Thank you so much for sharing that, it deeply inspires me. Best regards, TGV
woyin95 have all three... decent everyday watches.... Bambino for work, SKX009 for hanging out and Seiko 5 Field Watch for running around on weekends doing errands
i wear black stone island shadow project jacket with a black shadow project gilet over the top with pockets looks exactly like what your wearing. good choice of clobber!
TGV best wishes on your trip! You MUST see the MB&F Mad Gallery in Geneva! You will regret it forever forward if you don't pop in! Keep in mind they are closed Sun + Mon.
... and there's a very nice weather now in Switzerland... Enjoy. Btw, really appreciate the videos you're doing , I can see a lot of details....you make them work as Swiss watches ;) Fai il bravo!
Thank you fratello. I hope you are well. BTW, this was the same spot we did that drunken video call from, that would of been the view if it wasn't so dark at night! ;-) Best regards, TGV
Beautiful locale, and I'm sure you'll be visiting several more.. hard to imagine any place dirty and slum like in europe.. at least the places you've hinted you are going. I think you have a good variety of watches for your trip.. be sure to save some room for a few more that I feel you might end up picking up along the way. Enjoy. Looking forward to how your trip progresses in upcoming episodes.
I have to say, Id buy all the watches you mentioned in a heartbeat. Not a single watch that is out of place or I dont like. Favorites are the Explorer, the WW2 Omega and the Rattrapante. Only thing Id add to be content as a collection even is a Tapestry "Psycho" Datejust, which is my next buy. Enjoy Europe!
WoW incredible that you are almost at the Mecca of watches Switzerland. The scenery behind you looks picturesque. Enjoy your trip, looking forward to seeing the videos. ⌚️
Worried about the long hiatus and I knew I knew You brought along the explorer what better occasion than that to done it on your wrist! cheers bentornato!
Really appreciate your passion! Keep up the great work! I bought a rolex cellini danaos and it comes in tomorrow. I think if there is any watch guy out there that can appreciate this forgotten rolex it would probably be you! Can't wait to put it on!
A journey worthy of our beloved TGV! Best of luck on the adventures to come!

You know that there's a part of me that wishes to retire to a cottage on Lake Constance, watching the water and feeding ducks.
Can I come with you?!?!
Sounds like heaven.
Thank you Rondy, hope you are well.
Best regards,
TGV
Says that he was trying to keep it low
Brings 10 Nato straps
Says he brought less watches
Brings 6
Wow fantastic backdrop, looking forward to upcoming videos

Beautiful view and beautiful watches, what more can you ask for:)
Just bought my husband a Sinn 104, anniversary gift. Wow such a beautiful watch. Thank TGV for your video on the watch it helped, and he loves it.
Enjoy your travels my friend, stay safe and have the most brilliant of times oversees!
Best,
Matt H.

The view is just breath taking.
This is gonna be an interesting journey! Enjoy!
So glad to see you out and about in the world and in good health 👌🏼 shame you didn't make room for the Subby to which you could have added more memories with , dear old Subby
Seriously, that background looks more like a Painting! Mamma mia!
What a backdrop 😍
Loving the outdoor shots of the watches. Beautiful backdrop! Enjoy.
I would love to visit Switzerland. Lucky man :) living the dream. Enjoy your trip.
"Made in Japan" in Switzerland is a bold and confident statement. Have a nice trip!
Hi tgv well well sir the pilgrimage has begun, you look very happy and relaxed, enjoy my friend enjoy, #powermoves, bon voyage your friend Ryan.
Thank you Ryan,
I hope you and your family are well.
Knowing I have people like you with me in spirit really motivates me. And oooooh yes, wait till you see more of those moves ;-)
Best regards,
TGV
I can not wait a may i just add the lion shark, top notch, travel safe and gods speed, Ryan.
You're pretty close to me as well now, I am in Croatia, right next to Italy 😃 A nice carry on collection, I would have left the Explorer on the bracelet, as it is wonderful!!
Yeah, I don't like the pink strap on the Rolex so much. It's maybe too playful for such an iconic luxury watch.
I'm an Anglo-Swiss Australian living in Sydney. Not been to Switzerland for far too long. Looking forward to the horological travelogue that, no doubt, will provide me with the motivation to return. Cheers
Safe Travels! Look forward to seeing what you find there!
Two weeks ago I watched a video on your $400 omega bargain and now I'm affected by the watch virus. Thanks TGV.
Haha, welcome to the best sickness a person can have, embrace the obsession my friend.
Thank you,
Best regards,
TGV

Enjoy your travels TGV! Looking forward to see what you have planned!

It was perfect.

Great one more show on midnight.
FuwaForestFilms good to see you as always.
I feel like you’re our ambassador! I look forward to seeing a mix of natural and horological beauties you’ll experience. Have a safe trip
You would probably be 100% ok with just the Explorer. Such a classy yet tough watch.
What a perfect setting. Absolutely beautiful backdrop. Enjoy your adventure!
I'm really jealous, TGV. I'm half Swiss Mennonite and always wanted to visit that area to explore my heritage. It'll be fun living vicariously through you and your camera lens for now. Have a great time . . Ciao and Auf Wiedersehen, my brother.

The silence of the mountain and environment is so contrasting to NY city noise.
the watch master class, all class
Italy is gorgeous! This is one of my favorite locations of yours by far 😂 Excited to see the rest of the journey. Terrific picks, very well-rounded. Enjoy! :D
