We continue marry/F/kill with dress watches and chronographs in part II of my chat with Andrew Morgan. Join the best online platform for talking watches at WatchCrunch.com
I agree with Andrew on the Santos, I wanted a tank, then I saw the Dumont. I feel it's a great dress watch for specific moments and outfits. Also personally love the Zenith and GS. Great episode from you both!
Great segment! Like others have said, you don't need the music. The content has legs and is strong enough to stand on it's own. Thanks again for all you do here.
"If these other watches are manufactured, these are hewn." Possibly the most interesting take on Grand Seiko I've heard from anyone, and whom else but Andrew would offer it? Great convo again, and I'm definitely checking out the "uncut" version now.
I was so interested in the watches. I read some comments after and I had to go back and watch it again to hear what all the talk was all about. Thanks guys
This video is very on point for me. I’m wearing my Grand Seiko, we have a Japanese house guest, and I just attended the opening of an exhibition of glued together Imari pottery that Japanese craftsmen restored after they had been destroyed at the end of WWII in Austria by Russian soldiers. I really share Andrew’s appreciation for Japanese culture and aesthetics and that’s why I have multiple GS and Seiko watches, having carefully considered buying a wonderful JLC master control calendar.
I love that we now know the face and sense of humour of the talking hands. He basically speaks and tells stories in real life as well as he does in the Watchfinder videos, but with little bits of humour and sarcasm sprinkled here and there.
Really enjoy your content, saw a few comments earlier around the music and thought I’d provide some counterweight, love that it’s there gives the series less of a clinical feel and more of a relaxed atmosphere, perhaps having it be subtle in the background would work best ~ In either case stay true to whatever feels right for you
I put a dark navy strap on mine, and it really tones down the formality of the watch. I'll throw the black back on if I ever happen to wear a black tux again in my life.
Blimey how humble is Andrew?! But I get his point. I’m not sure it would suit me either, but on the occasion when I need to look smart and wear a dress watch the JLC kills it for me. Fun interview well done 😊
This really is an excellent collection. We talk about the speedmaster so much but it really could be the best watch ever made, or at least the top 3. The Zenith is always strong as well.
that silver dial JLC ultra thin moonphase is my favorite JLC. If I could pick one watch out of all you've shown in this video and the first video, it'd be that bad larry. my favorite JLC and favorite moophase in the market. The only thing that one-ups it is that same watch but in the pink gold.
For the Santos it would have to be the Galbée or Carrée, they are very elegant (or the Santos Dumont of course). The new ones are quite enormous, which will require your wrists to be the same.
@@WatchCrunchOfficial Facts, however, dictate that all of the ⌚ in the two episodes reflected good craftsmanship. I do not like the Chronomaster Sport, but Zenith mechanisms have unquestionable sophistication lacking in Rolex or other counterparts. Jaeger-LeCoultre ⌚ have mechanisms that define the industry literally, and Grand Seiko has some of the only novel contributions to the industry in the past few decades. How one perceives the aesthetics and feel is subjective, which is neither harm nor foul. Fundamentally, there is no one ⌚ that defines taste and reflects sophistication of the owner's style. If this were true, then the majority of Rolex owners would not be in Gucci slides and wearing Supreme T-Shirts trying to get season passes to Vegas pool parties. The same cannot be said when evaluating the technical proficiency of a mechanism, though. A good mechanism may not indicate a refined and intelligent owner, but it demonstrates intrigue beyond the heritage of a brand.
@@JackoWillMakeLives-loveu This is, as you said, RU-vid, where clicks are currency. It is often difficult to distill what is worthwhile from RU-vid watch videos because subjective views precipitate ultimately. This is by no means a crime, but the less informed viewers who wish to gain knowledge from this media content may leave equally if not more naïve. Though NOT on this channel, there are self-proclaimed "watch experts" that produce RU-vid content, who can generate enough momentum to polarize the watch market, such as designating Grand Seiko as pure trash and elevating Casio and Rolex to an ethereal level all while barking pure opinion preceded by a reference number for each model. This philosophical dilemma is not unique to the watch community. Collectors seek like-minded friends only to encounter zealous gatekeepers who may very well be amateurs. An individual identity, not unlike contemporary society in general, only favors the bold, but I can only recommend embracing fact; external opinion is irrelevant. What is frustrating, though, is how some RU-vidrs will jettison pertinent fact and precipitously substitute it with enough opinion to burn out their limbic system: yet another prevailing ailment of contemporary society.
Nice video guys. I really like the metal bezel on the Omega Speedmaster. Way more than the black one actually. And yes Max! Kill the Seiko😂 ( I’m Swiss so don’t be to hard on me for saying that)
As a professional video producer, I think this music is a good choice, but the fact that you find it distracting leads me to believe it's too prominent, particularly the percussion. The music doesn't need to be removed, it needs to be softened with a low pass filter while they're talking.
