I think you got the Bremont stuff wrong. They rebooted the brand because they were losing tons of money, partly because they were assembling their watches in England and using Horage movements. But now they’re using Sellita off-the-shelf movements and building them in Switzerland. The rebranding is awful, but you got the facts exactly backwards. Also, the Patek person who made those controversial statements was Thierry Stern, president of the company. It wasn’t just the head of a department. The guy runs the company and his family owns it.
Btw, the H.Moser is an almost 1-to-1 recreation of a vintage model that was sold at auction. So it's kind of a small production piece they created for the fans of the brand. As for why they decided to collaborate with Massena Lab, I'm not too sure. But they do seem to be doing these conceptual exercises with more affordable brands as a way to bring the community together. So I don't hate the idea.
I feel like all of the watches deserved a place on your list. The only one that hurts me a bit is the watch from Ball because it reminded me of the fact that I would have liked to buy a watch in addition to my Ball Marvelight III with a grey dial that I like a lot and which I got for a very good price, but they just don't come out with any affordable, good-looking and original looking models. They really are a bit stuck in trying to look like Rolex watches, not only because they are using 904L steel.
Could not agree more with you on these, not only horrible and ridiculously overpriced, but most of these are either very cheap looking, or just hideous! Cash grabbing. Cheers Chris, and Merry Christmas to you and your family. Love the channel; thanks for all the great videos this year.
I almost like that Panerai. Just put it on a bracelet and add minute track. Price is beyond crazy and light is a gimmick I don't really need, but the general design is not bad. Probably the only Panerai I like because it doesn't look like some outdated pocket watch conversion from 100 years ago.
I love both the Patek and the Panerai. There is a version of the Patek with the big date that I love. The Elux is outrageous. I’m sure it wears like a 44mm😂. Maybe the technology will filter down to a smaller Submersible case size. I also love the hand wound Panerai’s with a 8 day power reserve.
I like the looks of the Timex Adrenaline. But, I'll give the size complaint. It's too damn big. Whats up with those scrolling affiliate links on your vids? Very distracting.
Thierry Stern said, "The haters are for the most part who have never had a Patek and never will have one", or something like that. Many people said that statement was arrogant and insulting.

Thats interesting, I also posted it was very retro for such a forward looking brand.
I agree with you. This was a very odd addition to a worst-of list.
I don’t understand the hate on the PP. is it mainly the price? Because it’s not a bod looking watch
Polo watches with high end movements is intriguing-thinking of buying one cheap and putting in a different dial?😎

Bremont is finished.
Can’t wait to find a Polo watch at Ross along with all the other Polo products, then redial it with a sterile dial
Worst relative to what? Did you actually handle any of these?
It’s obvious he’s mostly talking about design. I don’t need to see the Kaws watch in person to see it’s revolting.

The Timex adrenaline looked like a bad copy or the Breitling endurance
Yes
They’re going to sell a zillion of those Ironmans to cops and gymrat Tactibros with zero taste.
Bremont is trash

I disagree
What did patek say about people that can't afford them?
Thierry Stern said, "The haters are for the most part who have never had a Patek and never will have one", or something like that. Many people said that statement was arrogant and insulting.
I'm sure we can all agree Thierry Stern is 2024 biggest douch.
Locomotive at $7000 is very ugly. At $1500, it's not terrible.
Polo watch terrible design
Wow...other than Bremont and Kith-Heuer, completely disagree with all your choices.
