Very little actual knowledge or discussion about quartz here. Next week our heroes grapple with the decimal system and ask, can decimals ever be as cool as imperial units? And can digital calculators ever replace the romance of the abacus? All this plus a wealth of top-notch watch-collecting cliches and lashings of verbal diarrhoea. Nice chairs though. 🤷‍♂

Funnily enough, AMZWATCH's replicas are perfect for people who can actually afford a luxury watch. Because in those social circles, it wouldn't matter and everybody would just assume it's real. You have a yacht and a beach house in Tuscany, of course that replica is real. There isn't a millionaire out there going around with a jeweller's loupe to scrutinize their acquaintance's watch. They'll just go "Oh is that a Patek? Nice, I should really get my hands on one of those, they look great."

the thing is: quartz versions of popular automatic watches don't get at what moves me about the quartz. Take a watch like the Movado SE. The movement simply doesn't matter. Gaze into the depth of that dial. Learn the history. Study the evolution of horology. You will never again lust for an automatic for the sake of its "automatic-ness". You'll laugh at the so-called snobs as juveniles, just the way you once realized (once upon a time) that, say, diameter actually matters, that Invictas are ugly but their Pro Divers are brilliant, and that Cartier is vastly underappreciated. Quartz haters always strike me as unlearned. Wear what you love. Wear what moves you. And grow to a point where the opinions of others matter not one jot.

Best quartz if you want quality is of course grand Seiko but often forgotten is Breitling. They developed amazing movements and nobody seemed to care 🤷🏻‍♂️

They don't seem to understand quartz at the turn of 1970 was cutting edge....... the future and the most expensive tech...... all the trend setters had quartz and LED by 1972 LED was more expensive then Rolex and even the president of the United States had a Pulsar by Hamilton it was then the future.... love the style of this show and the hosts ..... but they needed someone who knows the subject and the history of the quartz crisis to equal their commentary out.....

Completely agree, the level of knowledge here of Quartz is superficial at best

Great video, very accurate analysis. In my 4.5 years in the game as a watch collector and enthusiast, I collected a lot from AMZWATCH I was thinking I was able to get a blue SD but I'm not vip enough, but I'm not giving up. Hehe. Great video.

I absolutely love watches, the high end watch brands are out of my budget but the AMZWATCH has literally an almost duplicate of every single watch on the market . Always a great but no matter your budge

It was an innovative period in time , when there is a need to save a company they came together to produce the Oyster Quartz . At the time alot of manufactures were going down and probably thought that Quartz was the way forward. We would probably have seen a Quartz Daytona if the El Primero movement wasn't around to replace the manual wind ones .

We're pondering a world with an Oysterquartz Daytona! 😅

Recently I discovered the black dial version of the Santos Dumont, which is mechanical, and thought to myself: „why didn’t they make it quartz? I don’t want a mechanical movement with an average power reserve that is more expensive than its quartz equivalents.“ - I feel like Cartier is a brand that understood well that their watches are fashion pieces primarily and if their whole catalogue was quartz I would even embrace it. For other brands that are more associated with high horology it’s obviously different …

@watchcollectingwc Күн бұрын

It's a great point! Brands like Cartier, who are design-led for the most post, are typically more suited to quartz movements

You know, that Oysterquartz is a fugly block, I also don’t like the ticking seconds in quartz. But there are some overlooked but cool vintage gems out there. The Breitling Aerospace from the late 90s… the ultimate airline pilot’s watch, titanium, control all functions from the crown, including a minute repeater. Or the sleeky Omega Polaris, with the gold inlay, which is ojectively among Genta’s top three. Both are analog/digital and have no seconds hand. Or the Omega Genève tuning fork models, with their hum and smooth second sweep. Or the Omega 120m Calypso diver, the slimmest diver in the world.

You've listed some great quartz models! The Seamaster 120 Calypso is an overlooked diver from the past!

So many iconic watches are available in quartz and it's hard to argue with that grab-and-go convenience!

Rolex also made the 66xx series of quartz movements

Well it seems that Louis was also swayed by a couple of Nick's choices as they reviewed their picks... Nick may be onto something there 👀

Beautiful watches, however the brand which historically has an overwhelming connection with F1 is the brand worn by Ickx, Hill, Rindt, Villeneuve, Regazzoni, Amon, Fittipaldi, Siffert, Andretti : Heuer ! They were the large chronographs by the racetrack ! Today it's all too commercial : Rolex, IWC, TAG Heuer, Richard Mille, Chopard... Even Vacheron is a partner of FIA.

First of all! You barely zoom in on the dials you're showing. Secondly: Some of these are hella cringe and ugly! (Very lux indeed, rich people have no taste etc.) A very conservative and uninteresting take on "exciting" dials.
