So, when will Teddy start selling Tudor? He’s already an authorized dealer for Longines and Oris. I think that Tudor should be next.

[@marquisdaily7715]

The Longines Flagship with a black dial is stunning!

[@MusikPiratCH]

I like the cream one far better!

[@eyeheartsushi2212]

They just need to drop the date window or move it down a bit.

[@5891jonathan]

I am a huge fan of Longines’ L888 movement. Longines is a fantastic value.

[@italianstallion3130]

I just think this Zulu…that black with gold numerals and bezel is watch of the year. Holy Moly that thing is sexy. You can have your black bay - I almost can’t believe they are selling the Zulu for just $3k

[@Zion-18]

The Longines and Oris collections were awesome. Formex would be another excellent pick in this price range, with an Essence, a Field or Pilot, and a Reef.

[@shamanprime]

Longines are amazing for this kind of “exercise”. Such a diverse and great collection. Teddy showing his preference to dressy watches esp. for Tudor. :) I’d add one of their GMTs in the trio for sure.

I love the concept of building collections from a single brand for illustration sake. It helps to highlight the advantages of each brand's watch categories, so keep it up!

[@nicholaslynch7361]

Bought a big crown pointer date partly due to Teddy’s persistent championing of it, it is the coolest complication and gets so many compliments. I can’t wait to get the 39mm Zulu time. Thanks for yet another awesome video, teddy

[@yanlevionnois4868]

Great video, such iconic brands for this idea of one-brand collections! Next Grand Seiko, Breitling and Nomos?! Also, would love to see a shot of the three watches selected for each brand side by side at the end of each section...

[@robertosans5250]

Excellent video. Tudor and Longines are my two favourites brands, and have quite a few of the featured watches today. Cheers

[@johnnychen235]

Another well done video, with 3 of my favourite brands. Thanks you!

[@richardpyle-mz1uf]

I’ve been noticing the Tudor royal line a lot more and seems to be a hidden gem of the brand. Especially with the integrated bracelet craze.

[@paulbrooke3838]

Really enjoyed this, as usually with your content Teddy. Big fan of the Longines brand and heritage. I went with their Master collection blue dial 42mm for my choice of dress watch. I love their spirit gmt as a sporf option. I've never taken much notice of Oris but will certainly be looking at their aquas range now. Tudor has always been on my radar thanks to my son - big fan.

[@SequoiaNagamatsu]

Would be interesting to do this with a brand like Glashutte Original, which has a surprisingly diverse catalog.

[@balesjo]

I'll second that. Love the designs of Glashutte Original. BTW, online I requested a copy of their catalog. Forgot I'd ordered it and one day I got a box from Glashutte Original. It was book with a hardback binding, pages heavy glossy stock with beautifully photographed photos of the watches along with their description. Quite impressive, and definitely a great way to put their name front and center on a person's mind when they're shopping for luxury watches!

[@SequoiaNagamatsu]

@@balesjo Also have that hardback catalog!

[@Claus-L.Mueller]

Hi Teddy! I like this single brand 3-watch-collections. Baumé & Mercier would be another brand to focus on. With the new Riviera dive style watch, the Baumatic and a Hampton you could easily cover all three segments. Best wishes, Claus

[@blairmitchd3457]

Would love to see teddy do a video of his own personal watch collection.

[@mormorspepsi]

Really interesting video, been watching you for a while now and I really got hooked after a video or two hehe I am this month finally getting my first watch after a long time of saving up, really fun how you just made a video about longine as that is the brand I'm getting, more precisely Longines Presence. Thanks for the relatively newly found hobby and interest in watches!

[@bm5192]

Great content! I Iike the idea of a 3 watch collection using 1 swiss, german, and Japanese. I think I’d go Tudor, nomos, seiko for my 3

[@williamgoggin3633]

Fantastic video Teddy am tudor fan but loved oris watches will definitely be trying some of the suggestions many thanks

[@drnick40]

I have always known Longines and appreciated the brand’s achievements. Perhaps being European American… Now am glad that watch enthusiasts in US like Teddy are popularizing the brand. IMO Longines represents the greatest value in the industry. Heritage, Quality of engineering and execution, Style and affordability come together in a unique and unrivaled fashion.

[@balesjo]

I have a Longines Flagship that I purchased about 2 years ago now. It is a bit older design where it's much plainer dial, but has the L888 movement. It is indeed a very dressy watch. I do like the newest designs. BTW, that Oris Jim Morrison watch would be a great dress watch.

[@garynj17]

Great segment! Keep them coming.

[@randallhill7979]

Excellent video Teddy, I have three Oris watches. I actually like all three companies with their designs and history.

[@mkyhou1160]

I just got the BB41 Champagne. It’s amazing - the new case is every bit as nice as an Explorer or DJ. And sizes for everyone. For me it’s a one and done, great in the office but perfect for casual too.

[@miguela.velazquez5027]

Huge Longines fan. Probably my favorite!

[@andrewd7586]

I bought the Tudor 1926 41mm with Opaline dial last year. Honestly it’s one of my favourite watches in my vast collection. Longines is a very underrated brand.👍🏼

[@mirkosaligari]

Great video. I own 2 out of the 9 watches you selected (1926 and Zulu) and I have the Big Crown pointer date in my wishlist.

[@TheChrisleekay]

Three brands that are attenable to most collectors! Short of a lottery win I'm never gonna spend £50K+ on a watch! I'd also say they manage to get very close in quality to the high-end brands!

[@alexwatkins6090]

I want to see your ultimate collection at various price points. Teddys picks!

[@paulr6043]

Great video of three interesting brands, would have liked an image of the pieces selected for each collection as a summary at the end.

[@erocknd1]

Oris, I just love the pointer date. It is on my list of watches to get, eventually. The problem is, which one do I choose?

[@splintercell044]

As someone who has none of these brands, but continuously circles around them, this is a perfect video for me. Thank you Teddy!!

[@davidpugh8772]

I love my Oris! I do own a vintage Longines but i've only worn it once or twice so i might sell it to fund another watch

[@cheesychester9647]

So exited for Zulu Time 39mm, it will be my first luxury watch :)

[@kelvinwong829]

My Swatch group 3 watch collection includes: Tissot Gentleman Open Heart (blue dial), Longines Record Chronograph and Omega Seamaster Diver 300M (white dial). I used to love Oris a lot, but after reading on the histories of Swiss watchmaking, I'm in love with the iconic Swatch group brands!

[@eyeheartsushi2212]

The Tissot Gentleman is a very good looking watch. The open heart is a cool way to dump the date window 😉

[@kelvinwong829]

@@eyeheartsushi2212 I actually wouldn't mind a date window on it haha, I'm wearing it as my "work" watch and I'm not very good with dates/days :P

[@Dphilli82]

Agree on the Pelagos for Tudor, however for everyday, the Black bay pro is class. I cannot explain how much the dial and the bezel pop. Was unsure I made the right decision when I bought…now I’ve worn it a while it was 100% the right choice 👍

[@Legend7Verma]

I gifted myself the oris big crown pointer date in the bronze case with green dial..I love it..been a few months and the patina looks phenomenal. Couldn't be happier with the purchase

[@Time2Bern]

Just picked up the Spirit GMT 39mm from Geneva, fell in love with it at first sight. Going to compete with my Tudor GMT for travel piece. Also saw the Flagship Moonphase with the grey/brushed silver face - that would be my pick for the Longines dress watch.

[@amgolfer3591]

I'm curious to what color dial you went with regarding the Spirit Zulu 39mm GMT? I am simply torn between the green and blue variations. I am a "feel" guy, but just curious to what moved you one way or the other. Love that they listened and came out w/the 39mm. I would have purchased the 42mm as I have loved the design for a while now. Thanks my friend.

[@Time2Bern]

@@amgolfer3591 Yeah, I was excited about the green with gilt but when I went in to see all three in person, the blue just popped because of the sunburst dial. Best to see it in person before pulling the pin….

[@amgolfer3591]

@@Time2Bern I appreciate you responding back. I have wanted to pull the plug on the green w/gilt so many times, but then Teddy always seems to show the blue dial and I start to rethink again. You are absolutely right in seeing them in person first. Thank you for the reminder my friend.

[@decluesviews2740]

Three great brands to do this with!

[@LarryCoffer]

I subscribe to this channel knowing full well I can't afford any of these watches, but I like the suggestions to style. I just bought a Seiko SRPH87, and I am planning to build a three watch around that price point.

[@mokongr]

Agreed with your choices, especially your Longines cho 3:45 ices. The only change I'd make is in the sports pick of Tudor. The Burgundy Black Bay with the new MT5602

[@giboxxx6573]

The ChronOris is so underrated and consistently slept on

[@eyeheartsushi2212]

I didn’t know of the Oris James Morrison. Looks real cool. The blue dial on the Black Bay looks great along with the 5-link bracelet.

[@TeaJayRabbit]

I love my Longines Spirit 37mm champagne dial. I have watches that are mostly versatile but still have their time and place...but the Spirit has this uncanny ability to shine when you need it to and blend in when you need it to. And the ability to quick change that bracelet out for a strap every now and then is a feature that doesn't get talked about enough in all it's reviews!

[@paulbrooke3838]

Those features are the very reason I am getting a Longines spirit. A very versatile watch and the quick change bracelet/strap design is a brilliant feature.

[@Cookie_Sad17]

My very first luxury watch was the Oris BCPD, definitely a good buy in my opinion.

[@Moissanyte]

My picks for a 3 piece collection. Black Bay 58, Spirit Zulu Time 39mm, Longines Legend Diver 36mm. I went with the Legend Diver because it has a semi dressy look to it due the timing bezel being located within the dial. I also like that it has more than adequate water resistance for day to day usage because it means I no longer have to take my watch off when I get my hands wet. I'd like to pick something from Oris, but unfortunately nothing stands out; the Caliber 400 is a very nice movement however.

[@stephenmiller8620]

Have to say i have a longines legend diver, tudor bb58 blue and an oris aquis hammerhead and love them all.

[@mattmccaleb391]

Longines absolutely! They have everything I love! And the price is absolutely killer

[@fepatton]

Of these, Longines is my favorite. My grandmother had a Longines, and I've always had a soft spot in my heart for them. My perfect three watch collection would be (sigh) Breguet, my all-time favorite watch brand. I would go for a Type XXI for the sports/pilot watch (I'm a sucker for pilot watches), a 5707 Reveil du Tsar alarm watch for something slightly dressy and fun (or possibly the 7337 with the blue dial!), and a 5157 Classique for an ultra-thin, understated dress watch.

[@petercharron3268]

Love this. I was about to go to dinner with my gen1 omega speed master, but instead went to my watch box and pulled my blood red Oris pointer date. Another Oris watch we all ignore is the Oris pointer Day. So cool

[@briane1116]

I have all 3 of these brands in my collection (Tudor Style, Longines Conquest, Oris Diver 65) and love each of them! Would love to see Teddy move up to Omega and Grand Seiko for the next video. Rolex seems like the obvious third choice but maybe not practical since they’re so hard to get.

[@paulbrooke3838]

Big fan of the Longines brand and lineup. I have the Longines master collection 42mm blue dial for dress watch, and getting a Spirit 42mm zulu time for my everyday. Would go with the Oris aquas for my sport selection. Great looking divers watch.

[@leonardmartin6048]

Hey Teddy, Mido released the multifort tv big date a few days ago. I find it very appealing. Could u do a review of that watch?

[@brianwolfgeher1833]

For Longines my personal 3 watches from them are: 1. Spirit Zulu green bezel 2. Silver Arrow 3. Master Collection black moonphase For this exercise I'd go: 1. Spirt Zulu for sporty 2. Flagship Heritage for everyday 3. Master Collection Moonphase (just moonohase, not the super complicated one) for dressy

[@martyb9297]

I love all these brands tbh. Currently own the Big Crown Pointer date + Longines Master Moonphase….been using the BCPD as my everyday . If I could mix these, I take the Pélagos as my sporty, BCPD as my daily and Longines as my dress watch.

[@shuycg]

Longines Big Eye steel, Oris Aquis tungsten bezel, Tudor BB Ceramic. For dress add a Nomos Orion, either the manual gold dial 33mm or the 175y limited edition automatic 36.

during each video , i discover with your help new nice watches. I am not a great fan of TUDOR but i must say that the design of the 1926 type , is a full success . Beautiful watch like the ORIS james Morrison . I am definitly a LONGINES fan . The Longines zulu time is the watch to by for me for the sport watch . for a today watch i can found also nice watches from ORIS or TUDOR. I am also ready to wear a Longines DOLCE VITA every day .(waiting to buy a JLC REVERSO) .

[@BFit25]

I’ll pick one from each. Tudor BB58 Gilt for sport, Longines sector for dress, and Oris pro pilot for everyday.

[@UGA.D]

The Longines sport and everyday pics are a little close. I would go with one of their dive watches for the sport model.

[@rhysbufford8275]

Love this type of video. Might be tough to wrangle, but a microbrands collection video could be fun...

[@Avaddon911]

Hallo Teddy, i have longines in my collection, and I love the brand. Oris is a brand i don't own,nut it is on my list. The model with the complication i really liked.

[@joshuarichard2509]

As an owner of the Oris 80th Anniversary Big Crown in Bronze and Green, and the Diver 65 "Glow" I can say that Oris is quickly becoming a favorite watch maker.

My three watches are seamaster and speedmaster and a Tudor heritage burgundy bezel love them all and have no more money to justify any more

[@wisamal-hakim5531]

Great video 3 excellent brands with some nice choices My pick of the brands would be Longines. Their heritage is unparalleled and the design language of several lines are beautiful They easily have the best dress watch selection The new 39 GMT is just epic, might get one If the others I really like the Pelagos easily the best diver for me in this category rugged very well made understated As an everyday beater the propilot with coin edge bezel is a wonderful watch from Oris Great feature Teddy well done

[@BradyPuryear]

Oris! I’d go Big crown pointer date, AQUIS, and Pro Pilot X

[@joniemis]

My watch box has by accident become very Oris heavy over the past couple of years, containing gray ChronOris (my first Oris), green BCPD CervoVolante, old manual winding burgundy BCPD apparently from 70s/80s (found it at a yard sale), green 41.5mm Aquis and D65 OSC. Good brand with great story and absolutely amazing value esp with the SW movements. Oris the only manufacturer from whom I have multiple watches in my collection.

[@kingoftampa]

Only need to get a dressy piece. Sporty: Tag Heuer Aquaracer Casual: Grand Seiko SBGH413 Dressy: Glashutte Original Panoreserve. Although there will be one or two expensive pieces to join them.

[@DrWesterdahl]

Longines is my favorite watch brand for many reasons - from history to design to luxury/elegance to value for price. For the Longines dress watch, what about the classic, La Grande Classique de Longines watch with the black alligator strap?. I do not hear much talked about this watch which has a very classic, timeless, and elegant look. And also at the same time, it has a very affordable price for a dress watch. To me this and the Longines Master Collection Chronograph Moonphase watch are the two most attractive Longines dress watches.

[@shuycg]

Yes, good point. That's the ultimate dress watch from Longines. I've been fascinated with it for some time. But I couldn't wear it often enough.

[@khronokraze]

I like these kinds of videos. However, what about trying a 3 watch collection for those that are more focused on specific genres of watches. I'm sure there are many that are very dive watch focused, field, and maybe those that don't like tool watches and all about dress watches, etc.. It might be interesting to see which 3 watches of the same/similar genre you'd pick and why.. how could they be the same yet still offer an interestingly thought out variety within such a centered focus range? Could potentially be more challenging than to get a balanced varying genres watch collection.

[@criminalscum8472]

I'd love to look more into Baume & Mercier collection building

[@AlanF0011]

I just need the money and I would have them all 😁 the big crown pointer is one of my favourite watches from any brand though, it's a thing of beauty imho. I think Certina could certainly crash this particular party too.

[@milanchristi7939]

I have three Longines which are my go-to watches almost every day. As soon as I get the Spirit Zulu I believe my collection will be complete. (For a few months anyway)

[@rabonour]

Agree that the Flagship is way underrated - it's a gorgeous watch that I've thought seriously about adding to my collection. For this exercise I'd go with that, the Spirit, and the Legend.
