2024's Hottest New Watches So Far: A Meteorite Dial Tissot PRX Killer & Frederique Constant Big Date

[@Dunkelheit_Schwarz]

One thing that is better than TGV is two TGVs XD I like how enthusiastic you are and that you haven't lost that spark in your eyes despite making content for years! Great work as usual.

[@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR]

Love you enthusiasm on both brands my friend! To have seen your watch collection change and evolve over the years definitely inspired me with my collection! One well get together and talk about our top 5 watches in our collections!!! Always a pleasure and never ever a chore!!!

[@gfeast4518]

Love you Russy gussy!

[@theurbangentry]

LETS DO IT!!!!! I would love to chat top 5 with you. Just let me know in advance and we can set it up. But now the tricky bit, picking a top 5!!!!! 😅😅😅 Grazie grande! T.

[@GrumblingForesight]

@@theurbangentryI’d pay for this tbh. You two have influenced me much more than I’d like to admit over the past few years.

[@jimmccaig7946]

Who is this guy? Does he own a watch, can he tell the time? Fraud!!! 🤣🤣

"If people want say it's a rip off that's their issue, not mine," Absolutely class mate.

[@sinjinadams2862]

The Nivada is the winner for me. I absolutely love Titanium watches! It is my favorite watch material. I also love meteorite dials. The combination of the two makes the perfect watch for me. I will have to seriously consider this one.

[@a_commisso77]

Anytime you release a new video I drop everything and RUN to watch it. Ive grown to absolutely love your sophisticated style and curated collection (I didn’t appreciate it 4-5 years ago when I started my own person journey). Your content has aged like fine wine and you always know how to push the boundaries in order to achieve excellence. Keep it up TGV you’re the best content creator on KZbin!

[@JoalHarding]

Me too!

[@BandrewScott]

You dropped so many 2 & 3 letter acronyms that I am starting to wonder if you’re really referencing secret government agencies.

[@theurbangentry]

🤣🤣🤣 Thank you Bandrew, I hope you are well. Speak hopefully soon. Best regards, TGV

[@champoux3000]

TGV talking PP, AP, FC, GG. 😆 👌👌🤌🤌

[@MattSeesGray]

I work at an office job, and whenever we do one of those “ice breakers” when we get a new team member, sometime’s they will ask everyone in the room, “what’s your biggest pet peeve?” My answer is always, “too many TLA’s”. Without fail, someone will ask, “what’s a TLA” in which I reply, “three letter acronyms”. It always gets a laugh, because if you’ve ever worked at a tech company they all use WAY too many TLAs.

[@derdummeasi]

A friend of mine is going to buy a prx. I think it looks great, but the f77 is a different league. I suggest it to him without badmouthing the prx. At the end of the day. I like to see him happy with his watch.

[@theurbangentry]

I like your style my friend, if only everyone had such a classy way of looking at things. Stay awesome and thank you, Best regards, TGV

[@travis3430]

It knocks the prx out of the park. What a watch!!

[@ExpeditedProductions]

Yes, yes, yes!! Killing it, TGV! My man has got his groove back. This is what the Urban Gentry is all about. The FC is absolutely gorgeous! The NG is really unique, and to be honest I think that the upgrade is totally warranted. So happy to see you finding another piece that excites you. Awesome video. Thank you, my friend. Onward and upward! Be well!

[@amankozha9778]

No Tudor Coke, No Grey GMT;) - that’s quite refreshing!!! Thanks lots, Sir TGV, for the unique perspective, as always! Have a great rest of the week ahead!

[@Frank-qs3pe]

I’m Getting tired of hearing about them too….

[@80barlo80]

In a sea of Rolex-obsessed KZbin content, TGV stands out as a beacon for true watch enthusiasts. His original perspective and passion for uncovering lesser-known brands make him a true champion of the horological world.

[@thestevepbrady]

That gray dial! 🤩 I'm totally into gray dials these day and this one is beautiful.

[@DustandPiers]

Two great entries. The F77 is incredibly cool - great use of materials on a very cool design. Helps it stand out from the crowd of similarly inspired watches. My favorite watch of 2024 is Kuoe's Royal Smith 90-010, a charming take on a triple calendar at a very affordable price given the features.

[@Mankiz86]

I started follow you a round 2016 and first i didn't understund your channel but when i started understand more about watches i did get about what you all about. tnx for the years! and hope your all the best for comming years❤

[@brunoteixeira6078]

It’s not just you. I also pick the watch and then the outfit. Finally, someone that gets it 🎉

[@artificialtelemetry]

The Meteorite F77 is amazing! Great review!

[@daleyfamily2179]

I love Nivada Grenchen- I have on pre-order the CHRONOKING MECAQUARTZ BLACK. I think my tastes and desire for more quality watches started after I got through my Seiko and microbrand phase, and got my first Marathon GSAR, and the Squale 1521. Spending 21 years in the Army and deploying all over the world I understand having solid, reliable and dependable equipment is important. I have dealt with equipment from the lowest bidder forever and will not due that anymore. I recently just picked up one of my first true grail watches the Tudor Pelagos FXD, had I had this while on active duty it would have definitely been worn and be my tool watch of choice. My tastes have refined and grown over time, large in part to your channel, which caused me to start my own lol. Thanks TGV keep up the great work as always. Nice to always see what I can aspire to become.

[@johnmonachelli5256]

Always loved that early royal oak ad stating "steel at the price of gold" lol

[@noelmurphy3450]

Enjoy your F77 TGV, I am a massive fan of Nivada Grenchen and own several of their watches including the Chronomaster and Spider.

[@minibus1351]

Farer just released a moonphase watch with a green aventurine dial. so tempted!

[@theurbangentry]

Cool brand, I deffo will check it out, thank you for the heads up! Best regards, TGV

[@champoux3000]

Just checked it out, Damm that’s prety impressive.. cutting a gem stone not only for the date window but for a moon phase too oof, great dimensions and original design. 👏

[@963seeker]

@@theurbangentry please review them when you can, I really want to know how it compares

[@Boggsy.]

Good News Edit: Nivada has said on their IG that they’re working on a Rubber Strap for the F77. I’ve been anticipating that Nivada Meteorite for the last few months and drooling over it the last few weeks.

[@EiferBrennan]

The thing I love about your channel is the almost Bill Nye the Science Guy meets Top Gear style.

[@Phil5150Bower]

The titanium is definitely a winner, the lightness is ridiculous you’ll feel like it’s not there. Nothing highlights style like a classic timepiece design, subdued but with a spark character.

[@ComeOnPelican91]

That meteorite dial makes the F77 much more interesting to me now.

[@kenharrowven]

The F77, what a awesome watch for the money, the meteorite face has put it at the top of my wish list. An absolute beauty and the price, what’s not to love. 👍

[@_e5598]

Just ordered the F77 Meteorite. The July release sold out instantly. I'll be waiting til September for mine. Can't wait!

[@jamiehull7238]

Thanks for sharing TGV. Two beautiful and interesting watches. I love the Titanium F77 with that meteorite dial, fabulous! Totally understand why you wish to keep it. Looking forward to your next video. 😊

[@Lanz1964]

wow that meteorite dial is something else! incredible!!

[@AbnStubby]

I’ve learned so many things about watches, style and class… Thanks for what you do. I’ve been able to appreciate other watches without lusting after them with wild abandon. I do have a “grail” that I am saving for but I’ve learned to appreciate what I have. I miss Hugo, though. “Champers for everyone, dahhhling!”

[@giovannipunto8058]

Fascinating that in one video you just covered two of the watches I’m recently most interested in.

[@Theo-ul8qm]

Love FC designs, but I must admit, I am a little bit surprised by their success. The reason I say this is because, while 31 in-house calibres is impressive, the calibre in the moonphase in the video, along with many others, are ETA-based and not finished to a very high standard. Now, this is not a criticism, because they are obviously trying to keep the selling price at a certain level. But I would've thought that someone who is attracted to such classic designs as FC offers would also want a high degree of movement finish in their watch, which FC does not offer. However, it seems that hasn't been a hindrance to their success. Kudos to them! P. S. That Nivada Grenchen is very beautiful! Feels like a bit of a disservice to it to compare it to the PRX. Design-wise, it's far ahead in my opinion. And the meteorote dial is just the cherry on top. I would definitely pay triple the price of a PRX for it. It's easily 3 times the watch.

[@liasisboa]

Great photography in this feature. Kudos to whoever is responsible.

[@solverxd]

Blood in blood out is a great loophole I use when telling my wife that my collection is under control. "Honey I sold one of my g-shocks so I'm gonna buy this blancpain villeret triple calendar moonphase ok?"

[@BigT71]

😂

[@mattys1467]

Two classy releases 👌 That FC would fit nicely in my collection 🤔 Oh dear 😳

[@Trapvision3D]

That meteorite dial is a plus in my book. You have successfully produced yet another banging video. Looking forward to the next!

[@TimeToGoTravelAndTimepieces]

Both look excellent but man that F77 works great with the meteorite dial. Thanks!

[@kakashikak]

Exquisite as always TGV; my only complain with Frederique Constant applies to most other brands, I love dress watches but they barely exist with a screw down crown and 100m water resistance, as a physician I wash my hands like 80 times a day, and "splashed" my watches get, and pull-push crowns don't inspire confidence even if it says 100m, just because I know how violent we can be when scrubbing and taking off gloves and etc. Bottom line I also find it unacceptable that thousands of dollars don't buy such a thing and yet your good friend Marc puts out 11mm thick watches for a couple hundred bucks with such specs. Best regards, onwards and upwards.

[@2manysigns]

Fun . I like the meteorite dial on the FC .

[@shaunmartinohagan]

Loving the Nivada Grenchen content, TGV. The Aventurine dial is special. Hope you’re doing well 👊

[@jeremycorrao]

Two great looking watches! Hope you get to keep the Nivada! Great video my friend!

[@fabiolosanto2799]

You are the best you can find on the web. Simply great, TGV ❤

[@ChillchampD3]

Love the positive energy and enthusiasm that really makes this enjoyable to watch. And of course all the little knowledgeable details and good editing. Thank you! (side note: last watch looks super cool ;-)

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you so much, very kind of you to say. 🙏🙏🙏 Onwards and ever upwards! Best regards, TGV

[@koosb8162]

The F77 with meteorite dial looks pretty sweet. Trouble is it is too grey, and I have an aversion to wearing grey. Great video and reviews BTW.

[@dannysimenauer5745]

Thomaso, thank you for introducing me to Frederique Constant and Nivada. Especially from the value collector POV. Seems since JLC increased its prices by 40% on the same models (i.e. no horology enhancements) about 2 years ago, Rolex, AP, and Patek are raising prices to the stratosphere (and unobtainium) because they can. Seems they don't want to make sports steel tool watches for everyday use.

[@HoroHigh369]

Your channel continues to be my go to! You keep it real and avoid the nonsense hype. 😊 Thank you!

[@RedFuryBooks]

I bought myself an FC Highlife last month for my birthday - it's the same blue as that Moonphase - and absolutely love it. The integrated bracelet has a quick release to add a rubber strap so it's quite versatile and not 100% married to the bracelet. It's quite thin and wears smaller than the size, and is definitely a new favorite of mine! I also love a great meteorite dial, but like them to be one of the strap monsters in my collection.

[@Therealgdoesgshit]

That new f77 is phenomenal! Great content as always ! Pure and personal

[@HRM.H]

That bigdate FC looks very nice. I prefer the indexes on the FC over the Glashutte aswell, much more legible. Also nice to see they do proper heat blued screws instead of coated.

[@DavidClarke-kj5ky]

another good vid TGV. love your enthusiasm. the F77 looks great.. i like the Meteorite and the Lapis too. and our wives don’t need to know absolutely everything 🤓

[@lonewolfemcquade8133]

My favorite release so far is the Zenith Defy Revival but hope to see another colorway. Maybe Zenith will do the Zenith Super sub sea diver chronograph. The vintage ones are awesome 👌 I like Zenith added a diver to the line-up

[@theurbangentry]

Great pick, will deffo try and get my hands on them when I can actually get borrow one for a decent amount of time to do a real review. I totally agree, an excellent addition, love the Defy line. Thank you, Best regards, TGV

[@pyramidmike]

Just added myself to the list for that Titanium meteorite dial version of the F77! Thank you for giving these brands the much needed limelight!

[@watchchimp3102]

I was excited by the F77 in Titanium and Lapis lazuli. Then when I went to the website I remembered these are only 37mm case size AND only the meteor dial comes in Titanium! 😢 So? Bummed! 😢

[@rcmakingtracks18]

Just love the content. Your videos are like a fine wine. Top class.

[@merlinspringer5585]

Just discovering the world of watch collecting. I'm lucky enough to have a couple of vintage Bulova watches (1923 and 1936) and a 1945 Longines, which I love. Oh, and a '63 Avia that my lovely wife bought for me which I also love (my wife and the watch). I'm working up to purchasing my first 'modern' watch and have found your content invaluable and enormously fun to watch especially the shows with Marc, Long Island watches, which I have also subscribed to. Keep going with the independent content and spare a thought for the newbies when it comes to acronyms. Regards to Hugo All the best from Blighty, Keith

[@stephenlloyd85]

Hey. I'm Steve. I commented on your previous video saying titanium watches are bad because of premium variations etc. I genuinely just ordered this... it's beautiful. Also, I have a soft spot for meteorite dials. So yes I was correct, but if this is wrong, then I don't wanna be right.

[@theurbangentry]

👏👏👏👏 Hi Steve, Love that you shared this. Thank you and I hope you enjoy it. Best regards, TGv

Hallo TGV ! I know you got very angry when you sent 2 expensive watches to service and after that said you would sell most of your collection and maybe only have 3 watches ! You make so fucking good videos that I almost cry ! It is like proff television and I hope you never stop being a watch youtuber !

FC has become my favorite watch as of late. I now have 3 of them and will collect more.

[@rospetukhov]

Great video, as usual! What are your thoughts on new Doxa Sub 200? Was always a fan of Sub design, but Sub 300 was too big. Seen that they released 39mm version earlier this month, tempted 😂

[@user-vv1qm5dj9c]

It’s great that you highlight elegant three handers like the FC. Nice break from tool watches.

[@scottsolomon8537]

FC also make their own Gentaesque watch, the Highlife collection . Mine has the blue grey dial and is COSC certified and a looker. Closer in price to the NG F77 than the big boy watches from the VC, AP etc and scratches that integrated bracelet itch for me

[@macguyverson9370]
