😂 Maybe go live in the mountains, and take the watch collection with you - not to signal class & refinement to fellow humans, but to appreciate the art & craftsmanship in isolation.
I really appreciate that Kirby will ask a question and allow an answer to be fully spoken before responding with his own thoughts. It is very refreshing to see content like this.
A true watch _idiot_ savant would be chastising you for not buying a _REAL_ watch. Whatever you're spending are rookie numbers, gotta pump those prices up! For your typical WIS, high cost is a feature!
Warning Kirby ⛔️ if you get into watches, you will inevitably reach to a point where you will end up selling your beautiful shoe, suit and cigar collections. You have been warned 😂
Kirby has a DateJust, really no need for any other watch. GADA is all you need and good enough that it got me out of the disgusting sphere of watch influencers and media.
One of this guys is a real gentleman, that understand the huge platform and range of his content, so he is really honest about that brod audience reality, so he keeps insisting to bring great value and accessible products for a environment of snob and rich community. Teddy is a great man.
You know Teddy is a watch dealer, right? He’s in the business of selling low-to-mid priced watches online. Not saying he doesn’t come across as a good guy, he does. But, Teddy’s never gonna say that everything not named VC, PP, AP, or Rolex is inferior trash. Doing so would be bad business.
@@2K9s does anyone use the watches what they're intended for? Generally no. Because the manufacturer generally charges more then Teddy and other watch dealers. And he's doing what the majority do when it comes to selling watches. It's called retail...
This is great, im a big fan of Teddy. I have several watches, but Longines and Tudor are by far my favorite for under $5k. In fact if anyone has a budget of under $2k, look at the Longines Conquest line.. incredible
Two very approachable and down to earth Gentlemen . A great video and informative. Maybe a future one on Male Couture watch and suit collaboration's from the Urban Gentry could follow.
I've been watching Teddy's videos for a while, One thing i've noticed is he never says anything unjustly negative about a watch or watchmaker. He will point out flaws or issues but he will never go out of his way to write something off just because it's cheap. I like that.
Love that you brought the Marlin. The silver dial 34mm one is what I wear the most. Wish I could find a 34 mm black dial (non california dial) version.
Adam, four years ago there was a limited-edition black-dial version of the Marlin model shown in this video: the Blackout version designed by Todd Snyder. It's a beaut, with an embossed lizard print strap in black patent leather. You might be able to find one on the second-hand market.
@@adamcohen2632 A few show up on a popular second-hand site (naming of which seems to trigger autodeletion of this comment) if you search on the item code, TW2T18200.
Love this collaboration. Would be cool to see a Gentleman's day out with some watch boutique tours and then taking Teddy to some of your typical haunts.
Kirby you mentioned a couple times leaving your watches to your sons. Love it, but also don’t neglect to leave at least one to your daughter as well. I have no doubt she would wear and cherish a watch from her father as much as your sons would!
Hard to justify $200 for a timex with acrylic when there are so many other brands at that price point that are far superior. Orient is definitely one, but San Martin, Sugess, Zeppelin offer tremendous value. Pagani with their homaģe line has some very good quality pieces too for less than $100.
Its really nice too see a video about truly timelss and stylish mens watches, i was speaking to my wife.aboutngetting s new one for my 40th and the youtube algorithm put forward some truly horrible Jacob and co "things" i cant call them eatches but more expensive and gaudy "look at me" wrist accesories, so this video was a nice pallet cleanser as well as informative
I spent years obsessed with watches collecting several cheap models by omega Rolex, Tudor, Breitling and Oris they all now live in a safe never worn and I wear a smart watch and Casio dive watch..... I just ran out of money and interest I guess. However they have proven very good investments.
1. the watch choices are fine. 2. I have custom suits, tuxedoes, Borsalino hats, etc. I will pass on some advice if you don't have the budget. Most people don't have clue about watch brands. Keep one clean analog watch with a new leather strap for the special date or ocassion. People notice a strap as well as the face of the watch. Daily wear of a leather strap wears it out in 2-3 years. It is more a matter of what watch you don't wear: 1. don't wear a canvas, NATO, rubber, twist-a-flex strap. 2. don't wear a watch that resembles a Christmas tree with all kinds of buttons. Yes, I work on my own watches. Rather than buying an expensive watch for the special ocassion, consider buying a better strap and put it on clean low cost watch with a white face and that is appropriate for your wrist. I just walked over and looked at one of my "going out tonight" watches. It is a Hamilton Masterpiece purchased used and I put a new "alligator " leather strap on it. I also have excellent condition Wittnauers and others with new leather straps in reserve. Conversely, I wore a new Bulova Corporate watch since December 2023 and in three months I have worn the original strap to such a state that it would not look good with a expensive clothes.
its amazing how limited people are when describing attributes of a watch, because its all fugazzi and they're trying to manufacture a story that doesn't exist. My father always said most people who wear a suit are trying to make up for qualities or character they simply do not have.
This was a surprise. I've been watching both your channels for years but never imagined the two of you should meet in real life. I really enjoy these unexpected encounters. Kirby, you should have your own TV-show!
Great collaboration! Teddy does such an amazing job at highlighting affordable models from good brands that don't cost 5 figures, when most of the TH-camr's are obsessed with watches as investments. (which won't last!)
iNvEsTmEnT wAtChEs might be the dumbest thing about whoreologists. Imagine buying like a Gaziano and Girling shoe but then being terrified of scratching the soles and too afraid to wear it outside. Get bent with that attitude, dork.
@derosa - won’t last??? Watches have been out performing real estate and the S&P 500 (stocks and funds) for the last 40 years! There’s reasons why the Uber wealthy put millions into watches, literally their number 1 and best performing asset.
As I've watched Teddy over the years, he's really become one of the greats in the watch world. His expertise is so deep, he has no need to show off or talk down (or worse, talk smack)--just loves the art and history and loves to share his knowledge. The gentleman of the watch community, to be sure. Great guest.
Totally agree. Teddy is a class act and genuine. As for Kirby being a gentleman, he is of course self styled. He does not carry himself as one would expect from a background he purports to come from. He’s very false, and of course. The great giveaway of someone fabricating their social background, is they are inevitably always dreadful snobs, which of course Kirby is. He has no interest in common brands!
I love the collaboration between Teddy and Kirby. Maybe in a future episode, Kirby could lay out a business casual, suit and tie, and jeans ensemble for Teddy to match a watch to the outfit. Could be fun to see trying to match dials, bands, and shoes to each type of outfit.
I love Teddy’s genuine enthusiasm for the entry level level watches. Sadly this is not reciprocated by Kirby, he moves on swiftly through the “cheap end!” Kirby’s only becomes animated when talking about what is perceived as exclusive. No opportunity to to mention Patek or his Chopard, or his Grandfathers Rolex was missed. Well done Teddy, you are are truly “all inclusive!”.
@@daniell2217 hi Daniel, I’m not sure if you’re responding to my post? If you are... Kirby’s suits, or his stage set, were not my concerns. My issue was of courteous attentiveness, basic good manners.
Great interview, really showcases Teddy as a person and watch enthusiast. I think most interviews are done by other watch people but Kirbys approach is different and allows Teddy to speak is mind. Props Kirby
When people today reference Louis Breguet as the inventor of the tourbillon they fail to give due credit to John Arnold, who was the first to develop the concept of a tourbillon, and whose initial work on the mechanism was curtailed by his death. However, Arnold passed his work to Breguet, who personally acknowledged Arnold’s contribution to the invention of the tourbillon by placing his first tourbillon not into one of his own watches, but into one of John Arnold’s early pocket chronometers, Arnold No. 11, which he presented to John Arnold’s son, having also had it engraved with the following inscription: “The first Tourbillon timekeeper by Breguet incorporated into one of the first works of Arnold. Breguet's homage to the revered memory of Arnold, given to his son AD 1808."
Surprised no one seems to talk about the Longines Heritage Conquest 35mm models. These are pure vintage watches at vintage sizes, and they look way more expensive than they are.
God I’m so torn between living as a rugged man in the mountains and wanting to be a polished man of class and elegance
Be both.
Be yourself… what you need to be, not what you want to be.
I wore my Reverso up a mountain in Scotland (not a huge mountain, but still 😂)
A quick strap change and it works fine with shorts, t shirt/polo etc 😄
😂 Maybe go live in the mountains, and take the watch collection with you - not to signal class & refinement to fellow humans, but to appreciate the art & craftsmanship in isolation.
Im sure we can find a watch for you *cough* rlx eplr *cough*
I really appreciate that Kirby will ask a question and allow an answer to be fully spoken before responding with his own thoughts. It is very refreshing to see content like this.
Enjoyable episode! I like the Longines for affordable and the less complicated Reverso on the high end.

Oh man Teddy. Every time I watch your videos...its so informational. Cant wait to continue my journey in watch collection learning from you.
Not a fan of these type of video's, but Teddy... he knows his stuff for sure. Always a pleasure to listen to this guy about watches.

You should do a collaboration with the Urban Gentry too. He's probably the most knowledgable watch collector on TH-cam.
Great conversation. I have my father's Rolex and it is cherished.
Love this collaboration. Would be cool to see a Gentleman's day out with some watch boutique tours and then taking Teddy to some of your typical haunts.
Theodore coughing for 45 minutes after two puffs of a cigar would be an uncut gem of a video.
Hi
Gorky is the beginning of Kalika
Two of my Favourite TH-camr collaborating makes me so happy.
Kirby you mentioned a couple times leaving your watches to your sons. Love it, but also don’t neglect to leave at least one to your daughter as well. I have no doubt she would wear and cherish a watch from her father as much as your sons would!
the collaboration we all wanted to see!
Very great to see you two doing a collab. Wishing for more of this.
The chair disparity is really very funny
Never thought I'd see timex in a luxury watch line up.
Hard to justify $200 for a timex with acrylic when there are so many other brands at that price point that are far superior. Orient is definitely one, but
San Martin, Sugess,
Zeppelin offer tremendous value.
Pagani with their homaģe line has some very good quality pieces too for less than $100.
It is like watching two inert elements.
Teddy is such a fit for this channel's consept.
An elegant timepiece is part of a gentleman’s attire.
My two fav's from TH-cam in one video. Collab heaven
5:35 Excellent points Kirby.. We all have to start somewhere & it's more about the Journey than the final outcome. 😎🍸
56:00 thank you for mentioning Roger Smith - he’s from my hometown Bolton
Great Video, just a pity that Teddy's Microphone doesn't sound 100% perfect. 😕
I’m waiting for part 2, such a great video! I want more.
Teddy excellent job! Its refreshing you stay down to earth
Love this collaboration! Would definitely love to see a journey to London of you both perhaps to a fine watch store
A fantastic exchange between two of the best on TH-cam!
Super excited you two gentlemen have paired up!!
Look forward to more, hopefully!
Dornbluth are well worth considering. Not cheap, but discreet, beautifully made and unusual
Great show, the audio does sound muffled though.
Mr Allison just cant hide his admiration to the cricket
Came over after watching the video on teddy's channel and so glad I did
Love the discussion
Teddy X Kirby, my two fav worlds collide 🥂
the oris makes perfect color combination with Kirky´s tie :)
This channel is amazing
One of the best colabs that had to happen
Excellent content and exchange. You gents are clearly experts in your fields. Well done and thanks!
This collab is what I have been waiting for, for a long time. Now get Teddy on the cigar game!
I could enjoy a Cognac and cigar with these gentlemen. Bravo! A job well done!
I’ve been a big fan of Bulova. I felt if they were good enough for Frank.
That one nice only one watch is in mi opinion is the zenith chronomaster original el primero is still an expensive watch but accesible, love it
Glad to see you branching out, Teddy.
Its really nice too see a video about truly timelss and stylish mens watches, i was speaking to my wife.aboutngetting s new one for my 40th and the youtube algorithm put forward some truly horrible Jacob and co "things" i cant call them eatches but more expensive and gaudy "look at me" wrist accesories, so this video was a nice pallet cleanser as well as informative
Astrology and Astronomy are not to be confused.
I could listen to this for hours
Great work both. What amazing content we are blessed with!
Lovely video!
Such a great conversation. Well-done, gentlemen.
Just glad kirby got teddy out of those turtle necks for a video
Loved the video,great chemistry, excellent selection,and perfect length oh by the way i think you meant astronomy not astrology 😊

Epic conversation
Was wondering when you were going to turn your attention to watches! Although I know it's a world in itself.
Teddy on the reverso ‘26 grand’
Kirby ‘sounds reasonable’
😂😅
41:28 astronomy
Drink a shot every time Kirby says "right"
Does anyone know what the music is in the outro?
OMG Tso of my favourite THIS IS EXCELLENT!
Had no idea I’d be watching this and now it’s 😂 37:49
Two legends thx you
Very good
The Bug has bitten!
Walmart. 25 dollar casio watch. Got me through the military
Some watches cost a lot but they are so beyond plain they seem like crap. I’m learning tho and that’s what’s important. Sub👍🏿
Is this Kirby guy trying to be creepy? BE CAREFUL, TEDDY!
Totally agree, you don’t need $700k Patek to go through life, you can easily do so with $100k one. 😂
its amazing how limited people are when describing attributes of a watch, because its all fugazzi and they're trying to manufacture a story that doesn't exist. My father always said most people who wear a suit are trying to make up for qualities or character they simply do not have.
Kirby looks more like a Hamilton guy. I think he should get a Hamilton khaki king! I take that back he needs Ä reverso!
No mention of sport watches. Everyone needs a watch that they can go swimming in.
"yager lecootye" ? Ouch, with love
