Hugo, it was a pleasure to finally meet you! Thank you again for having me on and I hope we can do it again soon.

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

Grazie mille Teddy and see you soon for some new exciting adventures! Cheers, Hugo

[@johnnyguitar6697]

Great to see you here, Teddy. Very good selection in this price bracket. The Nomos is probably my pick of the bunch, together with the Omega Constellation.

[@taimurchoudhry.]

@@SARTORIALTALKS Dear Hugo, I Loved Loved Loved This video.... Not because of the watches only but also because I follow you both. Hugo you should now infect Teddy with your amazing sense of sprezzatura. So we have another convert into the sartorial world. Love you both

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

@@taimurchoudhry. Thank you Taimur, All my best; Hugo

[@kyle_vr]

@@SARTORIALTALKS It's interesting when Teddy talks about how a mechanical watch can last more than a lifetime but, at 48:30 mentions its hard to get parts for a 1960s Omega. 🤔🙃

[@antonigroulx-comeau8640]

It’s wonderful to see those two worlds come together ! Wow ! Two different channels but amazing chemistry. Merci Monsieur Jacomet pour cet épisode original et très pertinent.

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

Avec grand plaisir cher Antoni. Amicalement, Hugo

[@raphthecollector3824]

Loved the chemistry between Hugo and Teddy here. It reminds me of how fun it is to meet up with fellow hobbyists or when you invite your friends to try out the things you like. I mean this as the best of compliments but Hugo is like the hip uncle you can get along with!

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

Thanks for the compliment! Cheers, Hugo

[@regsantotomas]

I love this collaboration between two of my favorite influencers on style and watches: two of my top passions.

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

We are so glad to read this ❤️. Best, Hugo

[@jackprick9797]

Hugo, your comment is so correct. In America, the culture is to de-emphasize a person’s name, to try to reduce a name to a single syllable. But i really like your view point, maybe the old world view point, of savoring the pronunciation of a name. One can say, by paying attention to a name, by taking your time to pronounce it correctly, you also give respect to that person. It's a very nice and pleasant way.

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

Well said Jack, All my best, Hugo

[@michaelt312]

Thank you for including such a wide variety of pricing. Good for everyone from beginners to collectors.

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

With pleasure Michael, Hugo

[@Nefville]

I can't believe it, with Teddy! I'm a huge watch collector, been watching both of your channels for years in fact Hugo you really made one of the absolute best watch-related videos where you showed Phillipe Dufour's Simplicity and your watch if I remember was a Laurant Ferrier, my favorite brand of all. Those are not well known watches, you are clearly a true collector and its GREAT to see you two get together. Cheers!

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

Thank you very much Nef for your enthusiasm. All my very best wishes, Hugo

[@PBoyle]

I love this collaboration. Totally agree with your selection at the end.

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

Thank you very much Patrick! Best, Hugo

Thanks Didier, Cheers, Hugo

[@johnnybgood7812]

I love my An Ordain and was lucky enough to visit the studio in Glasgow ,Scotland to make my selection. A thoroughly unique watch from talented, and friendly people.

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

Lucky man! Yours Aye, Hugo

[@thomashelm6931]

I'm on the list for next April. (Approximately) I wish I could see the options, in person, prior to making a choice. I don't think online does it credit

[@danwilson7581]

​@@thomashelm6931 Having seen au grand feu dials in person, I can attest. They are spectacular in life. Moser has a few nice dials as well. Hugo had an instant attraction and it's charming to see

[@TheCodeSwordfish]

Teddy speaks so clearly and well expressed. Love how his passion and knowledge has made him. Very admirable how much he knows and how he shares his knowledge

[@Swiss_Army_Knife1780]

The pair of you are phenomenal presenters. Such enthusiasm welcoming viewers into spheres of expression with enticements of intrigue. Well done.

Awesome to finally see you make a video with teddy! That's wonderful. Sprezzatura you two have an amazing chemistry together on screen. I love that. I knew from the start you both would get along and nerd out in such a way that highlights your passions and finesse. Bravo!

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

Many thanks for your message of encouragement! Cheers, Hugo (and Teddy).

[@SARTORIALTALKS]

Many thanks Keith. Cheers, Hugo

[@ramanshah7627]

Great video 😊 I’d add that there are some spectacular high-end quartz watches in this range via Grand Seiko. Even with nice mechanical watches in your collection, it’s a treat to have a lovely quartz option on your dresser. It will ticking away and telling the right time when you are in a hurry to get out the door!

What's up Hugo...welcome to our hometown!! And Teddy is one of us. I watch both of you and rock on!!

[@JavierBonillaC]

I am 60 YO. When I was around 12 I saved some money and bought an Orient. Today I would consider it horrible but back then I was in love with the watch in the window of this store. The watch said “water resistant” and it fogged the first time I washed my hands. Back then (48 years ago) Orient was a Mickey Mouse Brand.

[@goche8046]

Orient is not a premium brand, but I wouldn't it horrorible.

I have watched the video about five times, from time to time I come back to practise the pronunciation of some clocks, it provides a highly valued level of sophistication. Extremely relaxing and explanatory.

[@itsallrobbish]

A superb video , Hugo. I’ve come from a Teddy Baldassarre direction, a singularly impressive man in how quickly he’s turned into a go to guy for watch reviews since 2017…..remarkable! I just loved the interaction between you two guys, thank you.

You definitely prefer watches that have a vintage vibe to them. The Orient Bambino is absolutely lovely. The brand itself has some amazing and classic styles. Be well!
