Always impressed with the historical context shared at the outset to set the table. This really sets your channel apart. No one else is educating on this level and with the style discussion and thoughtful editing to boot, Urban Gentry owns this space. Big thumbs up!
I’ve been watching this channel for 8 years or something crazy like that. And I still watch every single video. Tristano is the only watch TH-camr that I actually believe loves watches and isn’t in it for the algorithm. Respect
🙌🙌🙌🙌 No words, just thanks.You made me proudly happy. I am honored. I have already said too many word! 😅😅 Have a great week Joe, you are awesome. Best regards, TGV
Love the Purple Rain shirt TGV! I also really, really love the idea of heritage brands teaming up with microbrands. Hoping we see more old brands that might have lost their way over the years team up with microbrands in the future.
I've always admired your work TGV, but this is another level well done on a polished delivery and a fantastic review, also thank you for bringing this collaboration to light.
Having done most of my career in aerospace I have been drawn to the Bréguet type XX as my grail. I’m not there yet, and this Hemel certainly complicates matters. On the 3-minute dividers on the sub dial in big eye chronos, I have heard 2 credible reasons: 1) easier to read than subs of 5 (either on, after or before the marking) 2) fits with timing things for 6 minutes to calculate hourly rates (like a slow burn tachymètre) I love the Channel TGV, I started following years ago and really bonded with your appreciation of history, design language and technicality of the moment. Edit: spelling
Your intro's are always pure class but this one had so much going on that it was totally captivating. Probably need to watch it several times to bask in the nostalgia of 1950s & 1960s flight. Tye 20's are great. I actually have a Hemel Airfoil. It's not a Type 20 as such but definitely military aviation inspired (it has a Broad Arrow). I would love to see a Type 20 with a date at 6 - the symmetry would be perfection! Superb video as always.
TGV, your videos are like a calming cup of camomile tea. I can get to work full of stress and anxiety, but I put this on in the background and watch it as I work and I can literally feel my body temperature regulating from the smoothness of the transitions of shots and that anxious part of my brain gets occupied by keeping up with the history lessons you tell. I’d recommend these videos to anyone with severe adult ADHD like myself, whether they’re into watches or not.
🙌🙌🙌🙌 I read this comment out loud to my wife. This moved us both to hear we could help, especially in this world that can seem crazy at times. Thank you for sharing that, we deeply appreciate that. Onwards and upwards my friend! Best regards, TGV
I love the content of your reviews of these interesting watches and the history behind them. However, the introduction you create for the videos are an entertainment in their own right.
Another great review. You feature some excellent and what would be otherwise unknown (even to a collector) watches on here and it is always a pleasure learning about the history of these timepieces.
Il tuo canale TGV è stato il primo che ho seguito parecchi anni fà, penso che gli iscritti ai tempi erano meno di 50k, la tua qualità video, le musiche, le riprese sono sempre migliorate! I tuoi richiami storici ormai li copiano tutti! Sei il numero 1!!! L'orologio è bellissimo e richiama i type20 in pieno! Un abbraccio dall'italia!!! Ti ho scritto il commento in italiano invece che in inglese per farti fare pratica!!! 😁
Always, always enjoy and am impressed by your work, you are a big part of what started my passion for this hobby. Just this year I have become a full-time stay home dad and my mid-day coffee goes down a treat with the urban gentry on my home tv in my comfy chair, a real novelty I'm greatly enjoying.
Such a great video, with absolute clarity and honesty, as ever. Especially, your assessment of Mathey-Tissot as a modern brand. This particular watch is saved by the reputation of Hemel. There are issues, all of which you identified but the cost cannot be ignored and, in particular, the value proposition it offers.
I was only looking at these watches, Mathey Tissot Hamel automatic watches not knowing that they were not Tissot I was looking on Amazon and found that they were more expensive on Amazon then the rest of the net here in the UK. love your videos thank you
Another excellent video TGV! I love the historical content, your excellent descriptions, and how you always show the horological significance of the timepieces you review! I've been watching you for years and have never been disappointed!!
Yay a new TGV video to go with my new watch that just arrived, I just picked up a Turtle. Can’t wait to watch this TGV! Also I know you’re birthday is coming up since it’s before mine on the 28th, so have a good birthday sir!
Funky! Wild that the 30 min subdial has 5 big hashmarks (so 6 mins each) with the smaller marks being 2 mins. The vintage ones shown also seem to mark-out 3, 6, and 9 mins with long lines in the subdial. Wasn't there something about 3min phone calls back in the day? Oddly the quartz has 6 big marks, so a more standard 5 mins each. Last thing -- wearing my Dan Henry 1945 today; the Hemel is way more legible, but I like my 12 clicks on the bezel! Great show, TGV. 👍
Another great review. Professional, informative and impartial. Thanks TGV. As soon as the closing titles run I'm already looking forward to the next video!👍
Hi TGV, great video as always. I appreciate all the insight you provide on chronograph watches, it is very helpful as I am looking at adding a chronograph to my collection when the right one comes along. I got my Sand Shark in the mail a few days ago ahead of originally scheduled(shoutout Mark and the Long Island Watch crew). It is even more gorgeous in person, and I haven’t taken it off since I got it. As you said in your video the legibility is immaculate from any angle. Even my friends who aren’t watch guys commented on how beautiful the Sand Shark is. See you in the next video, sir!
So happy to hear that, not just about the Sand Shark, thank you so much, this made my day. Glad to hear I could help, happy hunting! divers and chronos are always the most fun to track down. Here's to you my friend 🥂😎 The very best regards, TGV
Nice Eames chair. It fits you! I liked your conclusion and bringing in some other watches. That Longines watch is absolutely fantastic. I liked the Tissots and Hamilton as well! See you soon!
I love the type 20 and even own a vintage Airain type 21. Part of the soul of these pieces is the flyback movement. For me, that character gets lost in many reissues that don’t offer this feature. Admittedly, it’s more expensive, but it’s the one thing that elevates one reissue over another. Too bad this variant didn’t go the flyback route seen in the reissued Airain type 20’s and Hanhart 417 ES’s. In every other way, this MT by Hemel absolutely nails it.
10:58 I think you mean groups of 6 minutes. Each small tick mark at 2 minutes. The one thing that comes to mind is, in aviation, a standard rate turn is 3 degrees per second, or 2 minutes for a 360 degree turn. Timing can be critical when holding and not using GPS or similar. Why it is a total of 30 minutes I can only guess as well. Maybe something to do with fuel reserves. For basic part 91 FAA rules (daytime), an airplane must have enough fuel to fly to the destination and another 30 minutes.
Hi TGV , great submission as usual. Getting back to the purpose of the big eye; I seem to remember hearing of a 15 minute register on some of the Breitling cronos ? being used as a 15 minute count up to get a fighter in the air after scrambling whereas a 30 minute count up might be useful for 45 degree turns during flight navigation? I would love to hear any other comments on this topic. Interestingly enough there has always been a mystery as to the origin of the Longines big eye, surely it's point of origin and time frame has to be similar to the type twenty concept?
I was just thinking of this microbrand yesterday evening as it was in my feed. I will be watching this review more than once as I am looking for a proper chronograph. Excited to see your presentation, TGV. Thanks in advance!
Kenneth! Great to hear from you my friend. Always a pleasure and my best to you and your family. Thank you for the support, I hope you find the prefect chrono. Happy hunting. O&U! TGV
So glad to hear you talk about Mathey-Tissot!! My first Swiss watches were modern Mathey-Tissot's. Not amazing watches in themselves but very sentimental to me. Cheers TGV.
Another fantastic video. Sad to see what happened to Mathey-Tissot. They used to be a very well respected Swiss brand. Maybe the collaboration with Hemel with give them some exposure.
I have the Non-Hemel version 2021 with everything as in your presentation - it is a great watch complementing my Hanhart 417ES 42mm 1954 Flyback Panda version - these renditions as accurate to the original versions with modern components are great additions to the serious collector with nostalgia - well presented video TGV as always.
Thanks for the video and going over the history of the type xx. I am interested to hear your thoughts on the very similar, Mathey Tissot x Massena Lab Type XX Tribute and how you compare the two given their very similar price range :)
Great review TGV you do have a habit of going along and doing a good review but this one remind me of the early days of the channel. Vintage Gentry lol well done sir 😊👍🇮🇹🥂⌚
I’m not sure this watch really competes with the likes of Longines or Omega, but as an alternative to Hanhart or Nivada Grenchen, and indeed Airain who are also still producing the Type XX, which you mentioned in the video, you can see the market they are aiming for and at similar price points. The choice then is on the particular style or design that appeals the most and whether the fly-back feature is of significance or just the desire for a mechanical chrono.
I really like these historical videos to introduce a new watch. I wish they were a little longer, I can watch them all day. I instantly got a Hanhart vibe from this watch, but I like the addition of the 12 hour markings on the bezel. HEMEL are another one to add to my grail list 🙂
Lovely watch. For some reason I don’t wear a chrono, Flighty, Speedie and my Bulova Moon all went to better homes. That said I do like this and the Wolbrook version. New 1930’s Longines Pilot Majetek looks rather nice, check that one out. Finally, Daytona on NATO? Ditch the watch and just wear the strap, much classier 😁😁👍👍 Great show.
Fantastic intro TGV. Always enjoy your high production values. I love this watch though having bought 3 chronographs in 2022, I will hold fire. As you say 100m would be better, only one of mine has 100m and a screw down crown, but who will swim with a chronograph? Not me for sure. I don't mind the ghost position so much. I would have always preferred an automatic in the past, but with changing watches so often and not being fond of watch winders it doesn't really matter to me now. As for the strap, I always go to my local craftsman here in Turkey for almost every watch I buy. I usually send him a photo of my watch and he makes 2 or 3 good recommendations to me. Thanks for showing us this one.
Great video! The thirty minute register is split in to 6 minutes not 5, with the big markers every six minutes and the small markers every two minutes. So the big markers are at zero then 6,12,18,24 and 30 the same as zero obviously. So if the hand lands on a space with no marker you know it’s an odd number.
The type xx is wicked and i'm looking at a reissue Breguet. i haven't seen any of your videos in ages... I realised that your style has changed. That pretend goodfellas has gone. Great stuff.
Great show my friend! It’s a shame that Hemel had to bring out the good in Mather Tissot who are a complete shell of their former self and need to take a look of the likes of Rotary and Accurist who have rebranded back to the 50’s logo and watch styling! This brand needs to focus on what made them a name and not making a buck cloning other brands! With this collab it may start something great?!
Russell! Lovely to have your feed back, you are so right about Rotary, I essentially love the new dress watches they came out with in recent year. Great suggestion, thank you amico mio. Let's hope it is the start of something great! T.
I'm sure you're going to see a lot of this in the comments. However loving the Tshirt. Add a sports jacket, and I think you've nailed a new TGV look. Had the pleasure of seeing Prince live on his last tour here in Aust. Sad that his life was cut short. Kind regards Rikki
nice shirt govna! i got the full lume dial HEMEL. you should do a video on one of the best Omega Seamaster Professionals that gets the most neglect. 2254.50.00 / 2264.50.00 i think that style came out in 1998? cheers!
Thank you so much TGV for such a great video review! Very interesting historical watch! Stay healthy and well as always! (Nick L)🦖🦖🦖❤❤❤⏱️⏱️⏱️ Also, in some of your other videos, I noticed that you have an interesting sword. Could you please describe it in another video?! Thanks!
I’d love to see your opinion on some Tutima watches. I am interested in their 417-alike Flieger Chrono, partly because I love Cathedral Hands and the whole coin-edge-bezel-chrono aesthetic.
Mathey Tissot flys under the radar, but great pieces(love the 1970 driver chronos). Some pieces are meh, but their original autos are good. I considered the Hemel colab. It's really good. Hard to get. MT makes a version with a eta7750 movement. Good, but not as cool as the colab. It'll come. I'm watching. BTW, nice shirt , TGV. I have one too. Shall we look ridiculous sporting Purple Rain with a smile. In a good way👍
Always impressed with the historical context shared at the outset to set the table. This really sets your channel apart. No one else is educating on this level and with the style discussion and thoughtful editing to boot, Urban Gentry owns this space. Big thumbs up!

I love the content of your reviews of these interesting watches and the history behind them. However, the introduction you create for the videos are an entertainment in their own right.
Love the way you create your videos.... Very impressive..
Another great vid TGV, must say that your production on all your intros are 1st class!
Type XX is my favorite watch style. Same reason I bought a Hanhart 417es. Always great content TGV.
Another great review. You feature some excellent and what would be otherwise unknown (even to a collector) watches on here and it is always a pleasure learning about the history of these timepieces.

Beautiful watch! Thank you for the history as well and the discussion on the straps.
Best timepiece channel and it’s not even close. The history and the wealth of knowledge shared is brilliant
I just had the most wonderful lunch on my own with your video for company. It has been a great 20mins. Thank you from El Paso TX.
Love the throw back T! Beautiful watch! Great review! Cheers!
what a breath of fresh horological air - NO DRAMA , just watch talk. ~. JDS/CT. thank you TUG .
Superb extensive review !!!
I have an early 90s Tudor submariner in blue, because of this channel. A watch that I previously hadn’t given much thought to.
Such a great video, with absolute clarity and honesty, as ever. Especially, your assessment of Mathey-Tissot as a modern brand. This particular watch is saved by the reputation of Hemel. There are issues, all of which you identified but the cost cannot be ignored and, in particular, the value proposition it offers.

Nunca canso de mencionar: como sempre um excelente vídeo 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Parabéns pelo trabalho e um forte abraço aqui do Brasil 🇧🇷
Well researched, produced and presented, thank-you!
These intros man you're the goat of intros
I was only looking at these watches, Mathey Tissot Hamel automatic watches not knowing that they were not Tissot I was looking on Amazon and found that they were more expensive on Amazon then the rest of the net here in the UK. love your videos thank you
Forget the watch check. Lets talk about the T-shirt, TGV. Love the shout out to old school Prince!
Prince, the greatest EVER.
Thank you,
Best regards,
TGV
I love your prince shirt!!! and the intro was great! excellent work!
Another excellent video TGV! I love the historical content, your excellent descriptions, and how you always show the horological significance of the timepieces you review! I've been watching you for years and have never been disappointed!!
Followed your channel a few months ago and now I look forward to a new video every week. Great Job with the videos and love from Nigeria 💪🏽💪🏽🔥
This channel has the best intro sequences on TH-cam imo. 0:34 So smooth.
The song is "Come Closer" by Notize if anyone is interested.
That dial and the subregisters look great even under magnification! Thanks for bringing this unknown gem to light, TGV!
Mega Cool Points for wearing a Purple Rain “Prince” tee. Well done Sir!
Yay a new TGV video to go with my new watch that just arrived, I just picked up a Turtle. Can’t wait to watch this TGV!
Also I know you’re birthday is coming up since it’s before mine on the 28th, so have a good birthday sir!
I love, love, love that opening montage. (BOAC! Wow. Chills.)
Oh jeepers - that Air League Special looks AMAZING !
Cheers TGV

As always, great video. Thanks for the hard work.
Loving the shirt TGV! Would love to know Hugo’s thoughts on Prince. Top video as always, all the best 🦖
Another great review. Professional, informative and impartial. Thanks TGV. As soon as the closing titles run I'm already looking forward to the next video!👍
Thank you Sean! I really appreciate that.
Best regards,

Prince = Pure class 👌 great vid as always TGV 🧐
This intro is masterful work.
I, for one, appreciate the telescope 🔭 & Samurai sword 🗡️ combination. And, that is even before we get to the main event!! 💕
Hi TGV, great video as always. I appreciate all the insight you provide on chronograph watches, it is very helpful as I am looking at adding a chronograph to my collection when the right one comes along.
I got my Sand Shark in the mail a few days ago ahead of originally scheduled(shoutout Mark and the Long Island Watch crew).

Even my friends who aren’t watch guys commented on how beautiful the Sand Shark is. See you in the next video, sir!
So happy to hear that, not just about the Sand Shark, thank you so much, this made my day.
Glad to hear I could help, happy hunting! divers and chronos are always the most fun to track down.
Here's to you my friend 🥂😎
The very best regards,
TGV
Nice review!
Nice to see a review of small and unknown brands like mathey Tissot
This looks absolutely gorgeous! I want it!
Nice Eames chair. It fits you! I liked your conclusion and bringing in some other watches. That Longines watch is absolutely fantastic. I liked the Tissots and Hamilton as well! See you soon!

From a TUG-OG ... TGV, you've done it again! #BravoOle'Boy
What a lovely piece.
Another fantastic video. Sad to see what happened to Mathey-Tissot. They used to be a very well respected Swiss brand. Maybe the collaboration with Hemel with give them some exposure.
the intros are fire i love them
FINALLY you reviewed one !! I own the H900ATV...
Another good video, nice review.
Fantastic as always.
Great to see you rocking the summer fits already....sure that you're gonna bust out the new squale collab often in the spring months. 🥂
The Eames chair in the intro is amazing! I've always wanted one of those.
I have the Non-Hemel version 2021 with everything as in your presentation - it is a great watch complementing my Hanhart 417ES 42mm 1954 Flyback Panda version - these renditions as accurate to the original versions with modern components are great additions to the serious collector with nostalgia - well presented video TGV as always.

New 1930’s Longines Pilot Majetek looks rather nice, check that one out.
Finally, Daytona on NATO? Ditch the watch and just wear the strap, much classier 😁😁👍👍 Great show.
Fantastic Watch. I’m currently using my Breitling Copilot 765 (Which actually predates the Type XX)and this review was a pleasant surprise!
a gem indeed...a lot of watch for the price
Fantastic intro TGV. Always enjoy your high production values. I love this watch though having bought 3 chronographs in 2022, I will hold fire.

One of Prince's sub bands was called, " The Time"
I love the watch and your t-shirt too 👊
I'm lucky enough to own one. Bought it because of the history and my love for chronographs. I love it .
Music track for the intro? I liked it!
Great show my friend!

Great looking watch. Hemel means Heaven in Dutch.
What a piece TGV!
I'm sure you're going to see a lot of this in the comments. However loving the Tshirt. Add a sports jacket, and I think you've nailed a new TGV look. Had the pleasure of seeing Prince live on his last tour here in Aust. Sad that his life was cut short.
Kind regards Rikki
which lume is brighter C3X1 or C9?
nice shirt govna! i got the full lume dial HEMEL. you should do a video on one of the best Omega Seamaster Professionals that gets the most neglect. 2254.50.00 / 2264.50.00 i think that style came out in 1998? cheers!
i got mine from jomashop for $1049 in 2006 now they are over $2K
Liking the new haircut TGV 👍
These intros…🔥🔥🔥
Thank you so much TGV for such a great video review! Very interesting historical watch! Stay healthy and well as always! (Nick L)🦖🦖🦖❤❤❤⏱️⏱️⏱️ Also, in some of your other videos, I noticed that you have an interesting sword. Could you please describe it in another video?! Thanks!
I’d love to see your opinion on some Tutima watches. I am interested in their 417-alike Flieger Chrono, partly because I love Cathedral Hands and the whole coin-edge-bezel-chrono aesthetic.
Liking the hair cut, you don't look like a bond villain anymore 😛, very tempted by this watch, looks lovely on the olive green strap.
Mathey Tissot flys under the radar, but great pieces(love the 1970 driver chronos). Some pieces are meh, but their original autos are good. I considered the Hemel colab. It's really good. Hard to get. MT makes a version with a eta7750 movement. Good, but not as cool as the colab. It'll come. I'm watching. BTW, nice shirt , TGV. I have one too. Shall we look ridiculous sporting Purple Rain with a smile. In a good way👍
