In this video, I take three leading watch brands in the attainable space and create complete three-watch collections within the confines of each brand's collections. You might not necessarily want to collect in exactly this way, but it's an interesting way to highlight the incredible breadth coming from each of these three brands. What would be your ultimate attainable three-watch collection?

Another great way of looking at watches and how to build a collection that makes you smile! I have a Tissot and love wearing it in the summer because of it's Nato style band. Those Hamilton watches that are shown in this video are incredible pieces. Well done Teddy.

[@rachelades518]

Hallo teddy, actually after you showed the tissot prx I went and bought it with the olive dial, combined it with elegant olive color cloth and handbag, and jewelry, and now people tell me what a elegant watch 😊, so thank you and as always love from Switzerland 🇨🇭

[@normang663]

Teddy is the most educated, aloquent and apparent watch enthusiast. Other youtubers just wanna look cool. We are all kearning so much from Teddy and his team

[@Sknapps92]

I have been watching him and kevin discuss and shop for watches for about 2.5 hours now. I agree!

[@dereksnyder2803]

I just put together a 3-watch collection with those exact same brands. It was a fun endeavor and I pretty much had the watches that you selected. I've chosen a Seiko for the "SPORTS", Hamilton - "CASUAL" and Tissot for "DRESS". I love the Tissot Gentleman Powermatic 80 but would make it my dress piece. Nice video.

[@yemre2092]

Very nice video again Teddy! This video reminded me of my first true mechanical watch which is Hamilton field 38 with old Eta movement. I got it for myself after my first salary in my first real job, that's why it is so special to me. Hamilton produced lots of many other watches after that watch, but to me that old field mechanical with eta movement is always the best. Keep up the good work!

[@bruceleroy8063]

You're videos are the best in the biz Teddy. Getting a prx soon.

[@phantomlord3280]

This is a great video idea teddy nice! Def would like to see similar stuff

[@L2thaJ1]

My 3 favorite watches in my collection are my Christopher Ward C63 Trident Pro 300 40mm white dial, Tissot PRX Powermatic 80 black dial and Seiko Presage cocktail time blue moon. If I had to only keep 3 out my 10, those are my picks. Would like to see more CW mentioned on your videos. They are excellent for the price, especially the new bracelets with quick adjust.

[@abhishekagarwal937]

Very very informative video teddy! Thank you so much👌🏻

[@howwemakeitepicthings7002]

Love tissot and seiko, just started collecting and got a tissot seastar 1000 CHRONO and seiko 5 sports and very happy with my purchase

[@bradt8218]

A great Video Teddy. Keep up The good Work. Three great brands that don’t break the bank.

[@henriksm9215]

Great idea for a video, and one that can easily be expanded to more brands/different price segments!

[@puravmody]

Love this .definitely do more !

[@josephwah3505]

Great content Teddy, always informative. Keep up with the great work.

[@rodrigopfs]

Loved the suggestions. Thanks!

[@robbiecleighmarks3088]

Very good Teddy, well done again and thanks.

[@HaonProductions]

I love the Alpha hands on that Tissot Chemin des Tourelles. My skinny wrist loves that compact lug-to-lug too! It looks like a cleaned up and specced out Orient Bambino.

[@chronos-calculus]

After watching many of your videos, I have finally subscribed! I enjoy your videos and find them so educational and interesting! Although my budget will never allow me to spend more than $200 for a single watch, I view all of these watches as works of art that I can admire and appreciate the beauty and craftsmanship! And who knows…if I ever come into more money down the road, I have a better knowledge of what I would like to buy. Thank you!

[@Matys1975]

I like both chronos and calculus as well 😂

[@lexus2k3]

The tissot chemin des tourelles blue dial with leather is amazing 👏🏼, on another note I have the SRPE37 and as a daily watch it fits into a lot of situations with just a simple strap change. Amazing video Teddy!

[@donmongoose]

I love my white dial king Samurai, it's a beaut and anyone who is thinking of getting one should consider 2nd hand

[@Ulghart]

My watch collection so far: Seiko SPB121J. I got a military green nylon strap and let me tell you I can wear this watch basically for any occasion. It is really good-looking and versatile. On top of that, the time deviation Seiko says -15+20 secs a day, not even close. I had mine for a few months now, and it does 5 seconds a day consistently. I love it.

[@harrydaniels9436]

very good review,,,,,,,exactly what i've been looking for,,,,,,,thanks

[@2000S80]

Yet another outstanding video Teddy! I love seeing all the different brands that fall in the level of attainable for me. Also dangerous as makes me want them all.

[@patrickhartmann1540]

Thanks much to Teddy, my first Swiss auto was the Tissot Gentleman Powermatic 80. Also, I think the Chemin misses the dressy mark with the white date window. Color matched would have been more appropriate IMO

[@thewanderer5083]

Great. More of these please.

Great video Teddy.

Great video, Teddy !

I have created my Hamilton tissot Seiko collection because of Teddy and his team/channel 😊

[@ronwwatson]

Four Seiko's and one Hamilton in my small collection. Love them all.

[@jacobschmitt7033]

this would be a cool idea, especially if you did this with the same brands but had to hit some more sleeper picks! Watches from the brand that arent in the spotlight so much, focusing on lesser known watches from each brand.

[@parthsarthisharma4973]

Funnily enough, I own three mechanical watches. Tissot Gentleman, Hamilton American Classic, and a Seiko Presage. Loved this format.

[@VidmantasPupeikis]

Love Tissot. Driving next week to Le Locle ❤

[@brianwarner44]

Another great video...I love Hamilton watches and I really want to get an automatic PRX.

[@kwakuhustla]

Love that overcoat teddy. It’s very clean 🤝

[@LB96nolefan]

I just did this with Seiko, I got two presages instead of going the SKX route. The Blue Japanese Garden dial, and the gold accented white dial with black bezel. I also found the seiko 5 field black dial with gold indices and that is the “beater” of the three. Wouldn’t have done a “single brand” start without Teddy’s gleaming reviews of seiko watches with their robust movements coupled with my own modest tastes with regard to style. Thank you Teddy! Keep the inspo coming!

[@rmd4209]

I love your videos Teddy. Unbiased. My first ever automatic watch that I bought was the Seiko SRPD51 with the orange dial. Since that purchase, this watch is not going anywhere anytime soon... 😍😄😄😄😄😄🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@christianebert8086]

Hi Teddy, fully agree - for more dressy style with leather straps I would go for Seiko, Junghans Max Bill and Tissot/Hamilton again - clearly below 2000 US - great video - many thanks

[@stanleydonovan425]

Thank you for this video, always a lot insights about watch culture. I would love to know what you think about Accutron’s Legacy collection, hopefully I’ll find a video about it on your channel soon.

Wearing my Khaki Field Mechanical at work right now. Love my Hammy!!

@@mjv40 great choice.

[@wmen48]

I hate that the crowns aren't screwed down. Exept that I agree.

[@todom180]

@@mjv40 I’m hoping with their recent revamping of certain watches like the Scuba, they push the Field Mechanical up to 100m water resistance with screw down crowns and some AR. That would be perfect in my opinion. I love Hamilton.

[@johnblackburn2060]

I have a collection that is all Seiko, although I have more than three. I didn't intentionally start out with that in mind, it just kind of happened. I will say that watching Teddy's videos definitely influenced me, but ultimately I buy what I like. SNM035 Land Monster diver. This guy is about 15 years old and has been rebuilt twice by Seiko. SPB119 white face Alpinist SNK807 and SNZG07J1 Seiko 5 Sport. One or both of these may be JDM watches. SRPE05 Turtle diver with green waffle dial. SSC817 Golden Panda Speedtimer chrono with gold dial. I've seen the white model face called The Sietona.

[@craigdlazarus]

Great content and subject matter Teddy. More please with other higher tier brands: Oris, Sinn, Tudor, Longines and then higher still: Omega, IWC, Breitling....Keep 'em coming!

[@daveericson9242]

I agree with a prior comment, love this video and would love to see the same including Longines.

[@paullukasik8698]

Excellent recommendations. My next ones will be the Alpinist and probably a PRX

[@MrJoberg]

I know it makes more sense to combine different brands. However, in each of those categories I find the Tissot most appealing. I’m not a huge fan of diving watches, but the seastar is a nice watch. Then of course the gentleman and the PRX are super nice sporty everyday watches and the Chemin des Tourelles is such a good classic looking watch.

[@karlsenula9495]

Seiko also makes a lovely tank style watch to fit that dress watch role.

[@williamhill7312]

Great video

[@frankbick6953]

Man, you sure ding that Tissot Gentleman bracelet (like every time you mention it); but I think it’s a solid, very nice bracelet. In fact, with mine, I prefer it over so much over the straps I’ve tried that I just keep it on the bracelet.

[@wilkamania]

Haha my power 3 collection are a Tissot PRX Powermatic 80m, Seiko Prospex Alpinist (SPB121J w/strapcode Bracelet), and a 42mm Hamilton Murph on a black mesh band. Absolutely love my watches. I have a few more in the box but htese are the main rotations

[@FPSWordle]

I have a 3 watch collection: Hamilton 42mm Murph. Vostok Amphibia. Omega Seamaster. Love em all.

[@everythingautomotiveeta5839]

This was fun

[@shamanprime]

We need one for Longines!

[@mattriggs6755]

I'm very excited for this series! Hamilton is the first brand I have really been drawn to for mechanical and automatic timepieces, so I'm looking forward to that one. I'm not familiar with Tissot, really, so I'll start by watching this. Thanks for all you do, Teddy. I've really learned a lot from you, and always look forward to your releases. You're a content MACHINE, so you keep me coming back.

[@MrDanielmahaniel]

Love my rose gold LeLocle with the super legible and classic numerals against a black dial.

[@jackbarker5639]

I love this video and love thinking about 3 watch collections. You hit the nail on the head with the three brands you selected. If you included 3 more brands, I think Timex, Baltic, and longines are interesting options. Timex: marlin, Navi scuba xl, weekender chronograph Baltic: MR01, aquascaphe, bicompax Longines: big eye, conquest, several dress options

[@MinuteMon]

Love the Seiko SPB143 - I’m wearing mine as you mentioned it! 😆

[@timemeasured9137]

No doubt! One of the nicest looking divers in its price range….it’s a Shane the movement couldn’t be more accurate, but it does have that X factor that makes it hard to let go!

[@darylgasper5482]

Please include Mido in the next one…. They have lovely pieces !!! ❤

[@arango79]

You changed the bracelets and straps at the beginning of your videos; it was nice to see the same watches of other sites in a different way; get back to it. Nice video again.

[@HisMajesty99]

Orient has some good ones too. Love the Red Kamasu

[@sebastiangonzalezgonzalez2183]

Huge Tissot fan. I love Seiko as well. Never had a Hamilton

[@johndavolta3124]

Tissot a d Certina have the best value for the money. They use the exact same movements as Longines and Oris but cost less than half the price. Sure, an oris has a slightly better finish, but not a $1500 better finish.

[@ryancrema9253]

I have the green Kamasu. I liked the sapphire crystal, and it was much cheaper to purchase. I love it! Had it for almost a year. The band did not hold up after 6 months and hot a strap code watch that tappers with a milled clasp.

[@carloandyanne7019]

Love this content! Looking forward for other watches such as Timex, Bulova, Mido and Victorinox!

[@johnnypop-tart335]

My personal picks are glycine combat 6 vintage, tissot prx glacier, and oris diver 65 glow

[@DenniBoy44]

Collections is probably one of my favourite type of reviews, thanks Teddy!

[@Vox-Populi]

You seem to read my mind Teddy. Just assembled: Hamilton Pilot Pioneer, Seiko GMT and Citizen Challenge Diver. Tissot Gentleman is next.

[@mr.palmer6462]

The Tissot Gentleman is a great watch, but completely agree on the metal band. It scratches easily and borders on hot garbage, definitely recommend the leather strap.

[@KnockOneOutYT]

My next watch will likely be the Tissot Gentleman or Tissot PRX. Haven't had either on my wrist yet.

[@Krettes]

So excited to be this early!

[@Mrbumbons1]

I have a speed timer. Love it.

[@steveknight5836]

I’m in the market to purchase my first automatic watch. I have been looking through your videos and find them to be informative as well as entertaining. You are doing a magnificent job mate. One question I have maybe for yourself or viewers. I’m leaning towards Tissot PRX. I would like to dress up or down depending on the event. I have full greyscale sleeve tattoos. Do I blend with a darker face or pop with a fresh colour. Any feedback would be appreciated. Steve.

[@tijgerhaai3]

Swatch is my first Swiss watch. (Still have it, and works fine) Made a mistake with a Diesel. Have a Garmin fēnix 3hr. And now two Tissot watches. A PRS 516 and a Seastar 40.

[@robo2606]

My affordable 3 watch collection is a Tissot Visodate Automatic white dial , a Seiko 5 Sports Suits a black dial and a Laco Augsburg black dial 😎

[@marquisdaily7715]

Hi Terry, I love your work. Here is a suggestion: could you address the best swatches by price range and by countries? Skip Switzerland, Japan, Germany, the USA and consider Italy, France, Russia, China and other countries less often associated with watch manufacturing

[@MrJeanmartinroux]

@teddy, Your content really is helpful. In my particular case, I would find a guide where the brand(s) considered are a tier above. e.g., something where the budget is $1000 to $3000 a piece. I would love to know which brand you believe fall into that. In addition - what would you believe is the best "small" men's gmt. I seem to struggle to find something different than the previous generations rolex explorer 2. Which in this case, would cover the whole budget of a $10k 3 watch collection.

[@Rodolfoguerra12]

1,000 to 3,000 I would say Longines is the best. Best “small GMT” Tudor Black Bay Pro. Best 3 watch collection for 10k I’d say Tudor BB Pro (Sport) Longines Spirit (Daily / GADA) and Longines Master Collection 190th anniversary (Dress) and maybe you have a couple hundred bucks to buy a G Shock as a brave beater. Hope this helps.

[@yarb2643]

I know the smaller case sizes are popular these days but as a guy with larger wrists I’d be interested in some recommendations for guys like me. Maybe some 42mm and up? As always great video!

[@realdaltonjohnson]

100% if my current collection is made up of Alpinists and I LOVE the mentions of them in so many of your videos. Great start to my Friday - and great video as always Teddy.

[@lebowskiunderachiever3591]

I am really digging these!

[@jeamxbeam]

Glad to see another Alpinist lover here. Have a favourite model? By the way, It seems like Teddy doesn't like our beloved Alpinist so much, but for sure he shows respect. It was really heart-warming to see how Kevin O'Leary appreciated it.

[@SerialWheeler]

That SRPE37 also has a ceramic bezel. Your team should also research and get the SRPH97/ SBDY119. You'll have a blast with it, Teddy!

[@ilionatroya7129]

Teddy, please make a video on Norqain! I have two now and they are just exceptional.

[@donnylovelace7482]

Great video Teddy! The brands you chose for this video are perfect for a 3 watch collection at this price point! In my personal 3 watch collection I have the Hamilton Khaki Field for my everyday and the Tissot Le Locle with a black strap for dress. As I tend to dress up more often than most guys, for my 3rd watch I went with a Mondaine Evo2, but changed the strap to an ostrich strap in dark brown as I wanted a watch to wear with brown shoes as I wear my Le Locle with black shoes. A somewhat unusual choice, but it’s become my favorite of the 3.

[@donnylovelace7482]

As I don’t currently have a watch with a bracelet, I’m considering that for my 4th. Thinking about an Oris Big Crown or a Sinn which, of course, both would be next tier up. Although the Tissot Gentleman is hard to beat for the price as is the Seiko Speedtimer.

[@dkhockey98]

My current collection in the order they were purchased. Seiko "Turtle" (Blk dial and bezel), the watch I wear everyday at work as a welder. Seiko "Land Tortoise" (blue), one of the most under rated Seikos imo) Tissot Gentlemen (green), Tissot PRX (blue), Tissot Seastar (Blk ceramic bezel, blue to black gradient dial)

[@briankenny6883]

I like what you have done. What do you think of: Tissot PRX I think Blue Seiko King Turtle Special Edition E55 Hamilton on Khaki Field 42M Titanium Blue Dial

[@drnsanjay]

How is tissot seastar new color black and gold ?

[@SopwithTheCamel]

Can’t beat a diver in bronze. It reflects the early divers with their bronze helmets a canvas suits. I have a Magrette Moana Pacific GMT. Blue dial, bezel and strap, all around a really nice watch. Add a milgauss black face with the orange quarters, and a meistersinger Phanero, a gem of a watch, grey dial red indices and a highly polished rice grain style SS strap. Manual wind, size from the last century, light as a feather. A complete contrast to the Magrette. These are the watches I travel with. A lot of colour, all very different.

[@angrypenguin956]

I've recently acquired an Alpinist, and I like it a lot. I also have a cocktail in green and this dial deserved a second look,

[@angrypenguin956]

[@jeamxbeam]

I prefer to choose my watches according to the season, as well. I prefer bigger cases for winter.

[@tpoz48]

The Tissot Gentleman in a blue dial is the only watch that I own that is featured in this video. I do like the look of the Seiko Alpinist, but will most likely never get one. Hamilton is on my radar for a near future purchase.

[@jasonanthonyschultz5672]

I’d like to see you do this for Orient, Bulova and Mido

[@josiah566]

Loving the Seiko picks and that you’ve covered everything from entry level to more upper mid! For fans of the SNK800 series field watch, I think Seiko today announced the SRPJ87 and 89 which bring back the pilot-esque dial design at 36mm in reflective(?) champagne and green. Really great looking pieces at about 290

[@joshengle6102]

Love the video, I’m new to collecting and was very insightful! I would love to see one just like this with maybe Tag Heuer, or Tudor with the more affordable price point

[@mrxman581]

I like the premise of this video. How about starting a series where you take a brand new collector and guide them in developing a comprehensive collection over time taking into account the past recommendations you've made. Maybe some of this information already exists in some of your videos. If so, them maybe you can compile those videos into a series where you can recommend the best order to watch them for that beginning collector or for the seasoned collector who might have "lost" their way and needs a refresher course. It would be a great resource and make it much easier to get new collectors started. If I could send a link to a friend and tell them view this series on how to start and grow a watch collection, I know it could go a long way to get people interested in watch collecting. As you've mentioned in other videos, there are so many sites now on watches that it's somewhat overwhelming so then people don't even bother getting started. Also, not all of the information out there is good so that is an issue too. It's also very important to know what to avoid as a collector. You've earned a great and trustworthy reputation so I would be completely confident in recommending a series on watch collecting from you. I guess I would see this series like a course(s) in a school. Sorry for the long comment. Thanks

[@sirburni9648]

Nice video!! One question, what do you think of the Hamilton Khaki Aviation Converter Auto? I have never seen a comment from you about that watch and I have doubts about buying it. Thank you so much

[@eman331]

As a Tissot fanboy, I like the PRC 200, Seastar 36 mm, and the Gentleman. Kind of disappointed that the current generation of PRC 200 has been relegated to chronographs only because I'm a huge fan of their basic 3-hand models. I am very slowly warming up to the PRX, and it will eventually be a new addition.

[@LikeRalf]

I like it the most from the current line up!

[@Wandering_Outlaw]

I would have recommended the Hamilton Ventura as the dress option for Hamilton. It catches the eye and acts as a conversation piece when you're out for dinner due to the unique case shape.

[@Showbies11]

I’m very interested in the 38mm Certina Diver. Is that something you would consider making a video about?

[@johnnelson9252]

The Intra-matic is the most interesting to me because I'm over obsessed (redundancy, anyone?) with accuracy in a mechanical watch. This one doesn't have a second hand that I usually check every couple of hours to see if the watch is running fast or slow, and well, I really need to get over that.

[@dominicsheehy5828]

I own the SPB143 and it is fantastic. Perfect sizing to fit most wrists, strap monster, sapphire crystal, mine runs perfectly and worth the higher price point (I think!). Very versatile too, I wear it to the office, surfing, when travelling etc. It could easily be a one watch collection for sure.
