Anniversary Special: Best Watch Review Intros & Hugo Mountbatten Skits
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 22 ส.ค. 2024
- Okay hi guys, and welcome to this extra special show, because today we're celebrating 7 years of the Urban Gentry channel and brand!
To commemorate this happy occasion, I reflect on the making of the channel, its past, and its future. I also highlight some of your favorite watch review intros, comedic moments, and collaborations with the lovably pompous Hugo Mountbatten-a self-appointed staple on the channel.
A massive thank you to all the good Gentry out there for sharing this TH-cam journey with me. It's been a fun, exciting, educational, and wild ride thus far, and it wouldn't have been as amazing without all of you-my fellow watch enthusiasts. From your comments, questions, and watch suggestions to your watch related photos and memes on Instagram and in The Urban Gentry FB group, you've made the past seven years an absolute pleasure, and you're a big part of the reason I enjoy making videos about this watch hobby we all love. Onwards and upwards!

You're a SUPERSTAR! Thank you for always being amazing.
I love it when my favorite You Tubers combine! Love your channel!
Just watch out for Hugo .
Wow! Congrats! That means our 7 year anniversary has to be around the corner ;)
Congratulations on 7 years TGV, and to answer the title of "best review intros" the answer is ALL. Keep up the amazing work mate.
When is a Hugo feature length film coming?!
LOL, thank you Steve, that would be amazing.
I can't imagine how many goats, crates of champers and piles of gold that will require!
Best regards fratello.
TGV
@@theurbangentry hahaha all worth it!
That’s not just intros, this is pure art! Can’t wait for Hugo to return 🦖
Hands down my favorite watch channel. These intros are epic.
Watch box full of Rolex; wears a $10 Casio.
Carefully selects the perfect coffee; puts flavoured milk in it.
Magic!
Cheers, TGV!
It's been a pleasure to see this channel grow. I feel like this channel grew with me. Onwards and upwards!
the fact that Aaron called out the watch community for having a bunch of pompous a-holes was toooo real. bahaha. LOVED THIS VIDEO! Big congrats on this massive milestone darling!
Just was discharged from the hospital after major surgery. This was by far the best video I've seen on your line up. It made my day complete. Thank you. 🤗
Thank you so much John. I have been there many times, I really do feel for you. I wish you strength and a fast healing. O&U!
Best regards,
TGV
No other watch channel has anywhere near the atmosphere of Urban Gentry. I LOVE IT!
I can’t believe the seven years have flown by! Thank you TGV for coming up with this video, it was very clever of you to do so! I really enjoyed this journey and look forward to enjoying more. Thank you so much for putting time and effort into your show, I really appreciate it! Thank you TGV for all of your videos and keep your passion going! Your watch and horology enthusiast, Nick
Thank you so much Nick, reading that makes it all worth it.
Best regards,
TGV
Congratulations TGV, well and truly deserved! Here’s to the next 7 years and many, many more. Hugo on a zoom call, god love him 🦖
7 years? Where has the TIME gone (pun intended) Congrats Tristano. The more you and Hugo the better.
Congratulations on seven years TGV! "Say tally-ho to my little friend"
That "WTF" looking at the Apple watch is hilarious.
There's real art, imagination and humour in this...this channel is so much more than watches.
Wonderfull Memories! Thank You TGV! They are pure Art!
Has it really been 7 years already.The older you get,the quicker the years go by.
Brilliantly conceived ideas for intros, Beautifully executed.
I always keenly anticipate your intros and am never disappointed. Your Channel is like a fine wine, improves with age and best enjoyed with friends. Keep up the Good Work Fella.
Loved every one of them. Thank you for taking the time to put it all together for us. I've been in the watch community for just over three years. It was my 60th birthday yesterday and my wife got me an Oris big crown pointer date. LOVE it! You have inspired me on my watch journey and I will ALWAYS be grateful. Thank you for ALL you do for the watch community! You were the first watch channel I ever watched. You helped create my love of Seiko and Casio as well as many others. Again, thank you!
Thanks for making this compilation, when I need to laugh I tune into Hugo's shenanigans. Great work always!
Watching The Urban Gentry has been a bed time routine of mine since the past 4 years, love Tristano’s enthusiasm and knowledge about watches. You’re a legend!
I've only known about your channel for less than a year, but you quickly and effectively became one of my favorites. You're the reason I got my first Seiko 5 last year, and I've never looked back.
First and foremost, thank you, TGV. Your presence within the watch/horological community makes it all the better. Your passion for what you do is inspiring and contagious. Furthermore, you have discussed the idea of verisimilitude many times in the past, and I must say that you embody it to the fullest.
Congratulations, Happy Anniversary, and I hope for many years of continued growth, success, and love for The Urban Gentry.
Much love to you, my friend,
-Branyon
You sir have helped me fill in the gaps of my collection, it now has all of the chuff and none of the fluff. Thank you, and keep on keepin' on!
So happy I found this one in the archives. 🎉
Those intros were little gems, I’ll save this to watch again. They are so entertaining, absolutely well done!.
My favorite TH-cam channel !! Your passion for watches on display with your remarkable sense of humor is such a joy to see!! Looking forward to more anniversaries!!
Outstanding job, I can only imagine the effort and hours of work put into it, congratulations TGV!
Congratulations on 7 years of doing this. Yours was the first watch channel I found.....one of two watch channels I drew and still draw inspiration from....and you have helped me quite a bit in adding watches to my channel. If not for you, I'd likely never have found Squale or learned enough about Breitling to buy my own from those brands. So thank you, buona fortuna, mazel tov, God bless.
Thank you so much my friend. Always so glad to hear from you, it never goes unappreciated.
God bless you too, onwards and upwards.
Best regards,
TGV
Sublime production. First class content. Congratulations on 7 years TGV and thank you for leading us all on the righteous path of Gentry and down the rabbit hole that is the watch matrix. Onwards and upwards Gentry.
Love all of your intros TGV! Your channel is informative, well made and a real pleasure to watch. You are partly to thank for my watch obsession, so take that as you will! Onwards and upwards!
Congratulations Tristano. 7 years. Amazing! Thanks for your videos; as always. You got me into watches. 🇬🇧🇺🇸🇮🇹
Congratulations TGV on 7 years and here's to many more😊🙏 Thank you for always making it interesting and for your passion of watches☺👍
I don’t comment much how ever this time I must say I admire your Persona,your honesty and high level of respect for the people and your Channel. Thank you just thank you. Long health.
I just saw this video for the third time: Thanks for giving Hugo that much time on the channel. This whole intro is soooooooooooooooo british..just wonderful !
Loved it. Here's to another 7 years. And plenty of that Hugo fella. Did make me chuckle, keep up the good work.
Brilliant TGV, I've only been a subscriber less than a year but this is one of the best channels that I have subscribed to. Great informed views, well research and fun too. The videos with Mark are like a double act all with good humour. Hugo is a brilliant addition and the intro's are worth the subscription on it's own. Keep up the great work TGV.
I enjoyed that far more than I thought I would! Congrats on 7 years TGV. Your success is hard earned and well deserved. Thanks for being a principled and passionate advocate for the community and for unbiased reviews. Be well and may the next 7 years bring you and yours all the success and happiness you can handle.
Congratulations on 7 years! Fabulous video effects and editing. The watch reviews are also spot on. You love what you do and it shows. P.S. You don't pay Hugo enough.
Thank you so much 🙏🙏🙏
LOL, I will get a few extra goats for Hugo,
Best regards,
TGV
Happy channel anniversary! I have been following you for more than a year and it gave me the spark to begin collecting watches. I always look forward to your next videos. I follow many watch channels, but I must say that yours is clearly my favorite. Shout out to you!
Hi TGV. Glad to see that you're well and staying healthy. Love the channel and of course, love watching Hugo's escapades too! What I love most about you and your channel is that you are always very enthusiastic and informative without being self opinionated or arrogant, a refreshing change to see! I have no shame in saying that it's thanks to you and your channel that my interest in watches has truly taken off, so thank you so much! Stay well and all the best! ⌚👍🏻
My fav was when Hugo baked you brownies ha ha. Congrats on the 7 years!
I watch a lot of TH-cam channel about watches but yours is still the BEST ONE! Congratulations and keep going to delivery to us these beautiful videos!
Wow Congratulations on 7 years about 2 years ago I only had passing interest in watches but I came across your channel now I’m utterly obsessed with them I have you to thank for that TGV.
I certainly haven't been here right from the beginning but even for me it's been a few years of watching your excellent channel (which I have enjoyed immensely). Congratulations TGV, and may the next seven years be equally as awesome! Toodles!
I'm sad I can only like this video once.
Congratulations on 7 years! Love your vids. Keep up the great work.
Onwards and upwards.
Yours was the first watch channel I watched on you tube and you've been a major influence on choices for my collection. Keep up the excellent work TGV!
Buongiorno, TGV! Congratulations on the continued success of The Urban Gentry Channel. When I first began my own collecting journey yours was one of the first channels I encountered that didn't immediately turn my stomach after about 30 seconds of content. I've been a loyal fan ever since. Here's hoping this 7th Anniversary of the channel finds you, the missus, and certainly Hugo as well in fine fettle. Ever onwards and upwards, good sir! Thanks sincerely for continued killer vids.
hugo and godfather! no convo can beat that. good going TGV
Thank you for all your content over the years. Always funny always entertaining and always factual. Onwards and upwards.
Hugo is a Legend!!! Tgv congrats for all of these wonderful intros! . This 7 years trip with you seems it lasted for only 7 days . Amazing Keep it going...you have so much more to give and share with us!!!
It's not the content, it's you. People like you, TGV. Well done.
I don't know how I missed this video. So much Hugo. I love it!
Massive congrats TGV! One of the best channels out there, onwards and upwards!
Thanks TGV for your work. A lot of fun and very appreciated!
Congratulations, TGV. Your passion for horology is contagious. I thank (and blame) you for turning me into a watch enthusiast.
O&U
I always love the intros TGV, but I admire and respect your attention to detail when it comes to the history and reviews you produce... You are one of my favorite collaborators in watch horology. Congratulations to you and happy anniversary Sir. Look forward to the next year.. I wish you and your family love, happiness, and success... Onwards and Upwards my good friend... Cheers 🥃🍷🥃🍷
Congrats TGV. Thanks so much for all the effort, and great content. Been a pleasure to be apart of the journey.
Wow! Happy 7th anniversary! And thanks for all of your very informative and entertaining videos and reviews. Onwards and upwards!!
7 years? Bravo,guy! Been subscribed for about a year myself and enjoy every single vid you do, very informative and expertly done. Keep up the great work and continue to provide the best insight in watches and collecting them.
Thank you for all the content and how much you have taught me. This channel has really helped me to enjoy watches so much more. Congratulations on 7 years!
Happy anniversary my friend, cant believe its been so long. While I had a Bialetti before I found the channel about 4-5 years ago there has been many watch purchases inspired by the channel... Thanks for all the hard work you put in to make me buy watches :)
Congratulations on 7 years of providing inspiration, TGV! Thank you. Best-David
Thanks for everything TGV. I’ve been watching since your signet ring video and still enjoy everything you put out.
Big congrats, I love what you achieved with the channel and how it connects to your life. Your videos are always authentic, down to earth, extremely well researched and these intros give some big budget productions a run for their money. By far my favorite channel on youtube. Onwards and upwards.
Congratulations TGV, thank you for sharing your passion and for your hard work!
Thank you for getting me into this hobby 🙏🏼
Thank you my friend, I am very honored.
Best regards,
TGV
I don't know how I missed this episode but I love it! You got to do this every single year and put it together like you did with this one with all of Hugo's scenes. Please please please include Hugo as much as you can, such a great idea! ❤️ #salute
I keep coming back and watching hours and hours of your videos at one time. This channel is one of a very few channels on TH-cam that has that feeling of by-gone era of TH-cam: Your videos don’t come off as forced like it’s a job but done out of passion.
TGV- Congratulations! I, along with many others in the watch community, thank you for introducing us to this hobby. I started off with an Orient Mako 1, and now enjoy a Tudor 1926! Upwards and onwards.
your videos are always a bright spot in the week. thank you for the knowledge and laughs. onwards and upwards!
Your intros are genius! Hugo is definitely part of this show. Long life to the urban gentry channel 😁👍
From all the intros I've seen from gorging on urban gentry content recently, just loved the sopranos intro with Hugo & the Johnny Sack sit down... brilliant!!! 👍👍 Take a bow!!
Great content TGV. It has been 4 years now since I have discovered your channel. Kind of surreal to think back to those days and compare it to now. Crazy how far my knowledge/ watch collection have grown and how your channel has impacted my journey. Cheers too many more years.
Tally Ho! Jolly Spiffing and all That! Love a bit of Hugosity. Also loved the Endings that you had a couple of years ago with the Hugo Voice overs. Congratulations on 7 years too. Think I've been following you for about 4 years or so and look forward to each installment!
I love your introductory section very much as well as your enthusiasm, like listening to a good friend. Best for me would be the "WTF" moment with the AppleWatch and the Fortis Mars intro soundtrack. Brilliant!
What an absolute treat. Here's to 7 more years!
Relatively new to the channel in the last 6 months or so but I have to say I'm very impressed. The balance between irreverent humour and being highly informative yet, importantly, subjective is perfect. The intros are a well polished cherry on an entertaining cake. It's nice to see something done... properly. Well done sir 👏
A million thank yous and welcome aboard!
I am deeply honored to have you in the Gentry.
Best regards,
TGV
So many good memories! Thx TGV for sharing those again. Love your work!
Congratulations on the anniversary! Have a good one TGV!
Regards from Malaysia
I loved the omega intro with the music. A fitting intro for an iconic watch.
7 years!! Wow. Congratulations.. Best entertainment and most informative watch channel 👏👏👏👏
Onwards and upwards to the next 7 years.Great bit of video, very entertaining.Congrats
It’s been an absolute joy to get to know and follow your channel. Your videos are of very-high quality and I love the style that they are being done, which reference to you as a person, of course. Congratulations and cheers!
Hey TGV, I got into watch collecting about a year ago. Your channel was the first thing I found, to educate myself on the hobby. And I’m thankful you’re who I found first. There’s too many snobs or frauds out there. You got me started right. Thanks for the great content and attitude!
Congratulations TGV & 🦖
🍾🥂
You launch your fantastic channel on my birthday 15th of May, and this is an extra reason I love so much this channel ❤❤❤ So Happy birthday to us TGV!
Hey, I just wanted to say that I’ve always enjoyed your content. I subscribed to you over 5 years ago before entering my Freshman year of highschool. I just finished my Freshman year of College. It was a very different channel back then. Times change and my interests in watches ebb and flow, but the channel has always been here. Just wanted to express my thanks. 👍
Congratulations Tristano, to my favourite TH-cam channel from the tag heuer 1000 to an AP. Always binge watching !!
Ciao... I am an in Italian living in London in the last 10 years... You such a pleasant!
The fact that sometimes you come out with your italian is fantastic.
Then the way you speak make me so comfortable!
You give me as a gift cheerful moments in my day :)
Thanks
Congratulations on the 7 Years!! Throughly enjoyed watching the channel and it’s taught me so much about watches and life in general!! Best thing I ever did was come across the Urban Gentry!!! Thank You for your hard work... Best U Tube channel period!! BMJ ENGLAND 🏴
Congratulations on seven years! I’ve been watching the channel for years and always enjoy your thoughtful and knowledgeable reviews. While I enjoy the variety of the intros, and the occasional laugh from the Hugo ones - I’m one of the odd people that prefer your more ‘artsy’ intros. As a film buff, I love the nods to old films (such as the Dan Henry 1939/Metropolis, or Seiko/Kurosawa) and the underwater montage scenes of your dive watch intros, such as the old Feb 2017 Omega Seamaster Professional intro. Keep up the variety and good content! Onwards and upwards!
Congratulations and thank you TGV!!! Keep it up!
Also, this intro compilation is spectacular!
Congratulations and so many thanks, my friend! Happy to have been with you along the way. So many of my evenings were capped by settling into bed and watching the newest upload after staring at the notification all day. All the best to you, noble sir! 😎⌚
What a great journey, I have learnt so much from this channel and you, and also made my own journey so much more fun and more importantly grounded.
Not the wishy washy flashy, but let’s talk about tradition, heritage, legacy, mechanic, design, story…let’s respect each other’s personal experience, no judging but embracing…
Thank you for keeping it original, simple, real and part time, so we get to keep something real and meaningful and fun with you!!!
Yes, we love your intros. Keep them coming!
I learned so much during this 7 years. Thank you and keep the good work! Love the intros❤️
Congratulations on 7 years TGV. Keep up the amazing work. Greetz from Belgium.
Excellent, just what you need when in Lockdown in Melbourne Australia!! - Wish you many more happy anniversaries to come TGV!!
Proud to be part of the good gentry, absolutely love all of your content! Cheers
Best,
Ben A
