In today’s #WatchTalk episode I'm joined once again by fellow watch enthusiast and industry insider Marc Frankel of Long Island Watch to discuss our picks for the top 6 craziest watches of all time.
From the most outlandish and super-rare Rolex Daytonas, to high-end watches from Greubel Forsey that pushed the boundaries of manufacturing, world-changing Pateks, record-breaking Piaget timepieces, revolutionary technology from American turned Japanese heavyweight Accutron, and more-this fun, luxury-themed watch chat is chock full of horological delights. And-spoilers!-tune in for a surprise appearance from the right dishonorable Hugo Mountbatten as he unveils his brand new, exclusive, limited-edition luxury timepiece that suspiciously looks like a Cartier Tank meets a Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso, but with a FOMO-inducing waitlist that rivals those of industry titan Rolex.

I bought this popular video watch from bkuwan , which was originally priced at a few thousand dollars, but now it's only $380! It's really suitable to pick up feces!

Never, ever, ever stop making these videos with Marc, TGV. They're always such a treat! Also, when do preorders begin for the Hugomatic 3000?

@jonathancorbett7882 2 года назад

I strongly disagree. While Marc may come across as a nice guy, his store is a scam. TGV should know better, and fans of Marc should do their research and buy watches where they actually get a warranty card. It is, of course, ok if someone _wants_ to buy a factory second, but you should know what you're getting.

I'm sorry old chap but only those with draw bridges can attain such an exclusive timepiece.

Re: Accutron - there is a big following among musicians - kicked off according to some - by the late guitarist Tony Rice - for the Accutron 214 model. Several Bluegrass guitarists repair them (as did Tony before his passing last year). Great watch. Bought mine new in 1973! Good vid. Keep at it!

That is correct, Mark. I'm an admin to a FB Accutron group which was created in memory of Tony Rice. We have a core group of bluegrass muscians within our members.

Bring on the crazy! I'm a huge fan of the watches that stand out from the rest even though my wife thinks half of my watches are insane (Oris full bronze cotton candy being a perfect example). Excited for the video!

@ExpeditedProductions 2 года назад

So glad to see you and Marc doing another video together, TGV! That intro was absolutely wonderful. Best one probably all year. Truly enjoyable. Had me laughing even at 230 in the morning after a day of four flights. Completely knackered. Can’t wait to watch the rest of the video along with my coffee in the morning! Too tired to give it all the attention it deserves. Thanks for putting it together for us. Onward and upward!

@sweetd5953 2 года назад

Sinn U200 is an overengineered beast of a tiny watch. Shockingly small at first but I have grown to love it. Now I'm all set to dive 2,000 meters when the urge to be completely crushed becomes desirable. When I feel like staying dry and returning to the space age a black Hamilton Spectra hits the spot. Keep up those collaborations. 👏

The Patek piece Marc introduced at the end was fascinating and also humbling. Like you guys discussed, the skill and sheer genius behind the watchmakers and their pencils and papers really makes you think. Great episode once again!

@mieszkogulinski168 2 года назад

Awesomely funny intro :D I really enjoy learning about unusual and ingenious engineering ideas, and all that technological progress, not only in watches, but generally in everything through human history. That's also why I don't consider quartz watches as something inferior - the knowledge and technology used for making them is more advanced than for mechanical watches. Building an integrated circuit, even a simple one found in the simplest quartz watch - having a circuit for making the quartz crystal oscillate and a frequency divider - requires much more precision than making a mechanism of gears, and also requires much larger material purity. And it's much more complex. I'll admit that seeing a new and different technology, like the electrostatic Bulova, gives me much more fun that seeing a colorful Rolex.

@moorwatch9654 2 года назад

That pocket watch is the most impressive watch I have ever seen, thank you both for bringing it to my (all of our) attention, out of interest those small triangular shaped flared bits of the case with the cut outs, seen at @37:25, are they brackets for the watch to be fixed down to something? For example if you were star gazing using charts/boards etc

Hey TGV, Thanks for another great video. This is a random question but if a month is short of 31 days, is it ok to push out the crown and adjust the date manually (outside the mechanical danger zone), or should you just continually move the hands and cycle through to the next date? Thanks,

Hey Tristano & Marc :) I have to say that the Piaget is my favourite on the list, to bad the legibility is somewhat... not there :)) Also, the Clock-Art is a fun concept. I would stick such a piece on my wall, if I had the funds to properly maintain the mechanism :) Take care!

I've been a subscriber for a couple of years now and I have always appreciated your videos and your opinions and knowledge about horology and watches. Now I recently decided to purchased my first "dream watch" - The Seiko Prospex modern re-interpretation of the 1959 Alpinist in the limited edition, with the Ginza dial (my local watch dealer had been lucky enough to get one) and I'm curious about your take on that model and your opinion of the design and in particular that, in my opinion, very unique dial. Have you had the opportunity to look at one up close?

Good evening TGV! Great to have a new edition with you and Marc and some crazy pieces. Personally, the Rolex Daytona Rainbow would be a bit too much for my taste, but I can see the craftmanship in the watch.

Made by Miyota after 10 years of research. Citizen decided to branch off Accutron as its own name and the watch runs $3500 for the 2020 or $20k for the gold and there’s a limited as well for around 5k I believe. I got mine a month ago and it’s absolutely gorgeous.

Wow!... thank you very much T.G.V. and Mark for another solid but very educational moment and plenty of fun!. It's been great! Well my knowledge about horology... well, this is too short but related with this about curious and bizarre stuff, once I heard someone saying about a Breguet's calyber, a very exclusive one, they tried to avoid any possible friction between the pieces inside that mechanism so they build some of them with a very sophisticated levitant and superconductive material... Sorry me because I couldn't find its name, but only known its brand's name, again, suposedly Breguet has made that possible. It is all what I know. THANK YOU !!!!!!! Saludos!!!
