- Welcome to the brand new Urban Gentry war room in New York City! It's been a work in progress post-move, and I'm so excited to share it with you! Join me for a tour inside my new studio where it all happens, from watch designing to shooting cool new content for TH-cam, and the occasional but always thrilling visit from our very own Hollywood A-lister-slash-luxury watch connoisseur HRH Hugo Mountbatten. In this video I share my new setup, including the watches I currently have in rotation, tech gear I use to make my videos, art and movies that both inspire and feature in many of my videos, and special horological and historical gifts I've received from you, the good Gentry out there. I also share some cool watch related art and vintage ads, and discuss watches from Omega, Patek, Rolex, Bulova, Accutron, Seiko, and Universal Geneve, which is not only my #wristwatchcheck for the day but also a watch I reviewed last year that quickly became a favorite in heavy rotation. Check the links below for a video of the Universal Geneve White Shadow unboxing and items in this video. What do you think about the new War Room? Let me know in the comments!

an intro with Hugo, TGV showing the new war room and ofc geeking out about watches. My evening can't get better!
Same!
Only thing missing is a Fredrico name drop.
That's 24 minutes well spent in the company of TGV. His knowledge, humour, but most of all the passion he has in so many different cultural spheres, so effortlessly conveyed. Keep on keeping on, Tristano, and thank you.
War-ready!
I do not know anyone I would watch and listen to, touring his new room- except you.
Charming, lovely, interesting and makes me really excited for things to come 🤗
I love your videos man. Please never change your style and appreciation for life. Just discovered you on my way into appreciation of gentlemanhood, horology, and travel. Two watches so far, a 114270 explorer and a speedmaster reduced. Eyeballing a planet ocean for next years acquisition. Happy to join you on this journey- and thank you for the inspiration 🙏
Congrats Tristano. Welcome home! New York. New York! 🍎🗽
Room looks great bro. Excited for this next chapter.
15:25 is a Focke-Wulf FW 190A. Love the new War Room! That diving helmet is fantastic. Lots of ideas for my own humble study. Thanks for sharing!
That's why I really enjoy this channel! I have collected iconic watches and when TGV posted all of this great content I was influenced.
🙏🙏🙏
So glad to hear that, thank you my friend,
Onwards and ever upwards!
Best regards,
TGV
Over the years of watching the channel I have watched you progress and change and your new war room reflex that. It is more neat and put together. What a great space you have created for yourself and all of us watching!
Man your dvd collection is 🔥🔥🔥
My day off couldn't have ended better Sir Hugo, TGV, a tour of the new war room, classic furniture (We both have the same two chairs!!), movies (I think I might just about out geek you on movies.....) and watches (Your insight and knowledge is god tier compared to mortals like me!!) thank you and "buona fortuna per la tua nuova casa!!"
Grazie mille, you are so kind.
Here is to you🥂😀
Best regards,
TGV
TGV and the new NYC war room tour...what could be better leading into the weekend! Jurassic Jeff and Hugo of course needed to make an appearance! Brilliant layout for work, meditation, whatever...but most of all new episodes of the watch collecting journey we've been on for a decade. Magnificent. O&U
Thanks for the tour.
Congratulations on the move my friend!!! War room looks great! Need some sirens in the background though!!!! It ain’t right without it!!!!
"Absolute Philistine waffle..." Hugo kills me! Thanks for the tour, the bit about your ancestors' perseverance to build great things parallels quietly to the great things you've built, you should be proud! Love the channel!
HUGO, HUGO, HUGO….I’ve been needing some HUGO!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Pure class TGV
TGV, I've been watching for years and love watching every new video! Getting to see this insight is amazing so thank you for all the great work you've done over the years!
Oh, i was waiting for this episode, the new war room is looking amazing.
The new war room looks incredible. Can’t wait for the new content that comes from it. Keep up the good work TGV!
Hugo up to his old tricks, god love him 🦖
Looking smashing TGV! All the hard work in assembling it has surely paid off. Good for you. Looking forward to watching many happy hours of your videos in the new location and to the WATCHES!
So happy to see your brand new War Room! Love to see how much of your iconic old stuff made it!
What a great man space, or should I say gentleman space. It’s like your life in a capsule 👌
Wouldn’t want to be the one responsible for keeping everything dust free 😧
It was lovely to see the new war room. Thanks for the tour, but also the incisive commentary and context 🙌
I've been following you for quite some years now and it's always a pleasure to watch your videos.
It's so refreshing to watch a channel and dedicated man being genuinely interested in his work and sharing the joy of it.
Thanks for that and keep up the good work.
Cheers and many regards from formerly in Germany now in Japan enjoying my first Seiko 5 (SNK803).
Great to see the new war room set up. Clear indication you are now settled back in the big 🍎. Love the art deco lamp 💡.Look forward to future videos from here. 👍. All the best sir
Wonderful collection. A first class museum dedicated to life.
Hi TGV! Despite living in another part of the world, when I watch your videos like this one, I see a lot in common not only in hobbies and love to watches, but in more essential thing, like way of thinking and way of perception of history, values and life itself.
My respects, sir.
Never seen anyone who wants to imitate Frasier Crane more than this guy!
TGV and Hugo are Legends!!
Thank you for the tour!
Onwards and Upwards!!!
@18:15 awesome After Dark Flying Toasters screen saver.
I was wondering how long before somebody noticed that 90s easteregg. 😉
Well observed! Thank you,
Best regards,
TGV
Glad to have you back in the city, TGV! The war room set up is top notch!
Love it TGV! One thing we did working from home is buy a door seal kit with a bottom U shaped seal. These kits are cheap and removable so fine for apts. and block more than half the sound when the door is closed! As you may know anywhere you can see light travels through sound has a free path also. Cheers!
Been waiting for the new war room :)
I had one of those Swatch wall clocks back in the the late 80’s early 90’s. I must have been about 13 years old . it was red and white.
There's a piece of thought behind everything.
My dad bought my brother and I that same exact Enterprise when were just little kids because my Dad was a huge Trekkie and my brother became one too. Was always one of our favorite toys growing up!
Your father is a legend! 👏👏👏 My mother bought mine when I was a kid.
Thank you for sharing that.
Best regards,
TGV
Lovely to hear you speak with such pride for your grandfather 👍🏻🇬🇧
Congrats on the new place!! Moving is always such a hassle.
I think you have inherited your grandfathers talents and drive , I see more design in your future not just watches , I see even buildings possibly linked to your love of watches and horology , the war room looks great
Glad you're settled in TGV, my fellow Art Deco fan 😁
Thanks for the tour TGV!!
Congrats on the new war room. I'll be looking forward to the vids.
LOVE that lounge chair!
Great vid TGV, and what a talented Grandfather you had, maybe you should make a vid on him and the building he designed and the story behind it, I love hearing stories like this. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼
Very excited for the future content. War Room has inspired me to overhaul the box room at home! Thank you.
Living your best life, enjoy.
wauw lovely chair you got there!! old churchill love the LIP named after him!!!great room !!
Another extremely enjoyable watch. Excellent to see Cobra get a mention and had no idea he wore the Heuer 1000. I only recently saw that Keanu Reeves wears the black version in Point Break and then obviously Leonardo Di Caprio the gold in Wolf of Wall Street. It really is an iconic movie watch. Already looking forward to the next video.
This is a great walk through of the War Room/Life of Gentry. Your grandfather would be proud of what you've accomplished. Well done my friend!
Love the icon above the door frame.
Big respect for the Lone Wolf and Cub collection. Incredible series.
Regarding your WW2 props & collection TGV, my late father was in the AIF, Australian Imperial Force in WW2. Dad sailed on THE Queen Mary from Australia to the Middle East. I still have a picture postcard of The Queen Mary dad sent home to my grandmother. 😢 He was there briefly before being pulled back with thousands of Aussies to fight the Japanese in New Guinea. His unit shot down quite a number of Japanese aircraft during this time & yes the odd Zero. Onto your Catalina souvenir, I live down the road from Lake Boga which is in Victoria. This location was a repair facility for Catalinas from 1942-47! There is still a fantastic display of some 500 items including a Catalina Flying Boat. Cheers from 🇦🇺👍🏼
Bravo tristano e soprattutto grande Hugo 👏🏻saluti dall’Italia 🫶🏻
Looking good Tristano! And another amazing and interesting video. Love the intro with the Hugo dialog. You are so inspiring. Thanks.
Hey TGV, i love your contend, it feels almost like a meditative experience. So rereshing in a world of fast junk contend. All the best, and keep on with your art.
Love the room. So many interesting pieces.
Love the new war room! Really enjoyed the tour, some great movie recommendations I need to check out. Looking forward to lots of videos in the new war room!
Always love a new War Room! Keep up the amazing content :)
I must say your White Shadow looks fabulous
You’re quite the aesthete, Tristano. And we share a lot of the same sensibilities, specifically about modernist furniture, architecture and cinema. Great studio, I’m jealous.
New war room looks fantastic. The luxury of a door that closes cannot be overstated - a change I've also made in a recent move. Game changer for focus and working where you live. Love that polo, makes an excellent combo with the UG! Effortlessly sharp.
Quintessentially TGV - what’s not to like? Thanks for sharing and I can’t wait for what will come from your war room. Cheers (from Dubai, sitting on an Eames lounge chair)
DS9 ... I love that series. I can watch that all day long.
Congrats for your new war room, as well as your new home place. I enjoy your videos very much. To me your channel belongs to the top 5 or even top 3 quality watch channels on YT, and it surely is one of the most entertaining. I´m really looking forward to your new videos and your future projects. Not to forget: Kind regards to Sir Hugo!
Always great catch up with Sir HugO;)!
Congrats on the move 👍. I need one of those models of the Enterpirse D.
Nice digs! I remember your old Queens setup from 2016 or so....looked more cozy back then 😆 and the flying toaster screensaver brings back memories
Congrats TGV… there is truly no place like NYC. Thanks for sharing your light, imagination and knowledge with us…
Great looking space, TGV... I love that Art Deco lamp!
Congrats on the new War Room TGV! And great to see a DVD fan still. I'm still a fan, but know lots of people who have got rid of their collection and say " oh just stream it".
How many platforms do you want to subscribe to and plenty of older movies aren't there!!
Godfather and Clint Eastwood..... OUTSTANDING 👏👏👌😅
Congrats on your new War Room; stunning! It must be fun cleaning the dust 😂
Great tour! The stories and meaning behind each item make it that much cooler. Well done!
Everything is looking great and Hugo is still my favorite high-rolling terrible lizard. Fantastic tour! Looking forward to the next video.
Fascinating, thank you 👍
I've been watching your channel for years, and I am happy to see that your health / lung issues are behind you, and you are healthy and prospering. Blessings and much success in your new home.
Awesome video, many thanks for sharing.
Looks great!
Wow, I never knew the previous War Rooms were basically your living rooms😂 Love the way you've decorated the 4th war room, really cool art deco inspired room! Awesome insights in watch designs by the way, would love to know more about how you design watches!
Somehow I would've expected a heavy Chesterfield chair, but this one will do nicely. A very nice mancave you've built there!
Well done, Tristano! Your videos have transirioned from watch-specific deep dives for us fanatics into more of a contemplative lifestyle review. I love them more and more as you continue to grow. Bravissimo!
One of your best videos , thank you !!
Great to hear you are getting settled! And very fascinating insight on the watch making process. Thanks for sharing 👏
TGV the new war room looks pure class and so happy your back in NYC 🇮🇹🇬🇧👍😊⌚️
Looks good Tristano. Thank you!
Thank you!!!!
Best,
T.
Love seeing the new War room. Glad your back home.
Great production quality! Thanks TGV for sharing your war room with us!
Congrats on moving back to NYC. Love the new war room, so much history behind every item you have in there. Looking forward to new content.
Hi TGV!
Congrats on your fourth War Room aka Man‘s Cave! It’s obvious you have to make a choice which of your numerous items of the previous War Rooms are able to find a place in the new one. And you did a good job! Well done. 👍
Best regards,
Claus
DS9 by far the most interesting and enjoyable series of all the Star Trek universe. In a class of its own.
Fun video! Thank you for sharing!
Looking forward to seeing the NYC War Room, mark ii.
Fantastic new war room, Tristano! I love the little Art Deco touches around the place. I would have the entire house Art Deco if I could, but then I would be divorced soon after. Oh, the sacrifices one must make! I look forward to many new videos from the new TGV HQ!
TGV, love seeing the Catholic artwork and statue of Our Lady in the background! Keep up the good work!
Love it!! 🎉❤
7:32 The midnight gentlemen 👏🏼
America!! Looks nice! Hope you and your family are doing well. Cheers!
A very interesting video. Makes me want to learn more about art deco. Congrats on the move 🎉
