I think Longines had a great year with the Legend Diver, the Zulu time 39mm and the Hydroconquest GMT - Longines has been on a roll

Another enjoyable video Simon,trying to pick best release is so difficult,one of my favourites that I bought is a Bulova Jet Star,a re release of a 70s model,stunning red dial,looks a lot more expensive than the few hundred I paid,love the watch.Hope you have a great Xmas and New Year,looking forward to more of your videos then Simon.

@Escapement24 7 месяцев назад

Hey Joe congrats on picking up the Jet Star. It's one that very nearly made it on to my shortlist and I've also been tempted by that one with the Merlot dial 👌 Hope you have a great Christmas

@donrogan2812 7 месяцев назад

2 standouts for me, the Piaget and the H Moser-MB&F. The Piaget for it's confident, high order style and the H Moser-MB&F for it's accomplished horology and humour.

@@Escapement24 for me the JLC Reverso Tribute Chronograph Skeleton was stunning, I mean a skeletonised chrono on the back, and the attention to detail was beautiful. I loved the TAG Heuer Chronograph glass box panda too

First of all.. merry christmas to you and your family. then I want to offer you my most sincere compliments for how you review watches, I have a lot to learn from you, you are always super transparent and every topic is fully thought out and acceptable. my favorite watch?? I'm a humble person, I think the new Bulova is the one I like the most, It doesn't matter if it costs less. :-P ciao dall'Italia

@Escapement24 7 месяцев назад

Grazie mille! The Bulova is a great watch and I'm very tempted to add one to my collection. Have a wonderful Christmas 🎄🎅👍

I think the Tudor FXD black and the Rolex Celebration Dial has to be my favorite releases for 2023. I saw both of them first hand and I gotta say that the FXD is the best light tool diver out there. The light weight titanium case with the combo of Tudor’s canvas strap feels like there’s a lot of action to wearing it. The 42mm dial, although big for some, is not top heavy at all. Honestly, the FXD only won me over once I tried it on. The Rolex Celebration Dial has tremendous detail that I find extremely impressive. The white gold indices with the busy colorful circles tucked it the dial is quite amazing to me. I have a bigger wrist. The Rolex people say I have a “Swiss wrist.” So a 41mm OP would be for me. But the smaller 36mm with the celebration dial looks much more impactful on that particular piece.

@Escapement24 7 месяцев назад

I have to agree the FXD is a fantastic piece, though personally I much prefer the original MN21 with the blue dial and bezel. Unfortunately it wears too large for my tiny wrists (the 42mm Pelagos wears better, but the fixed lugs on the FXD extend more).

Enjoyable video, unusual to see so much love for Hublot, I've never really understood the hate, so well done. My favourite release this year was San Martin releasing their first original design that really looked appealing, the GMT SN0116. I liked it so much that I bought one. Happy Christmase

@Escapement24 7 месяцев назад

Thank you! I think Hublot is being taken much more seriously since developing it's in house Unico movement, though ironically many other brands who get much more attention don't manufacture in house 🤷 I'll check out that San Martin. In the meantime have a great Christmas buddy!

For me its gotta be the BB54. Patiently waiting for it to be available in the secondary market to avoid as much of the depreciation as possible.

@alfieakaronaldog 7 месяцев назад

With watches taking so long to be purchasable, it’s difficult to remember which were this year. The one I was waiting for was the in house movement steel BB41. 2024 would be the elusive Tudor Submariner (or any ceramic bezelled steel Tudor) and a Grand Seiko bracelet with micro adjustment! Oh, and a Tissot Gentleman, fully brushed, no date, with three fold clasp 😈

my nr one release this year I‘m totally excited about is my pelagos alinghi redbull racing time only. I think it’s incredible cool. merry christmas fella. love your channel ever since I experienced it this year. let’s hope for a great 2024…

Big question for 2024 is which Swatch Group Brand will take a bullet for the team 🤔 Breguet x Swatch? Glasütte Original x Swatch?

@Escapement24 7 месяцев назад

@steveallcock3825 7 месяцев назад

Great video. But are you redubbing your VO or using AI to zero out the silences?It’s very distracting and ruins the level of presentation, the lack of a hint of environmental reverb is just weird.

@Escapement24 7 месяцев назад

Thanks for the feedback - I'm recording in a room that has loads of echo so I use a tool that removes the reverb. Maybe need a rethink 🤔
