I'm sick of hearing this single brain cell logic......"without this......../we wouldn't have had this......." Making things is not built on a house of cards, just because one watch was/wasn't a success DOES NOT mean all the other lineage from said watch would not have happened. It's the same as saying, if your mother didn't sleep with an un-anthropomorphicsized Thomas the Tank Engine look-a-like you would not have existed. Of course you would existed, you simply would not have been so pug ugly. I bet the Misses shuts her eyes when you come. Really good video though 👍🫡🫡

I have to say, I really like your show but there were two major blunders in this one: 1. The GS Snowflake (owner here) is very accurate indeed but not 10 seconds a year. That would be the 9F Quartz. The Snowflake 9R is accurate to 15 sec a month (but it's better than that) and 2. A. Lange & Söhne shows the craftsmanship of Swiss watchmaking? The Swiss would wish they could come close to the craftsmanship of that sublime German brand (I'm living near to Glashütte, where they are built). Otherwise, great show, as always. ;) Edit: Just seen the amendment in the pinned comment. Phew... Credibility restored :D

Great choices! I definitely prefer your list. In defence of the Moon Watch's 50m rating - that's an Omega 50m, which is very different to other brands. Omega very explicitly says on its website that even a 30m rating from them means that you can wear the watch at 30m depth for extended periods of time with vigorous arm movements without limitation. Gotta love that confidence in their product. I've swam with my Moonwatch many times with zero issues.

The picture of the lange that you showed is of the Lange 1 and not the datograph. It's selling the datograph a little short, however I think the Lange 1 is also very lovely. The datograph is a perpetual calendar with a chronograph function. Which is pretty rare, and very impressive. Also they are German watchmakers.

One missing from the list is the PP Calatrava from 1928. Yes, pricey, but pretty much all modern dress watches derive from that. There is the standard fieldwatch look, which has no representative on the list, but probably also no true original it would be based on - I take Citizen's eco-derive fieldwatch as a rep of the class, as that also covers the solar watch thing, and Citizen nailed that. Another influential military spec one is the type-b flieger from WW2; not just often copied, but a really well-thought-through design when the minutes of the hour are your main concern; originally made by several companies, I'd go for Laco or Stowa. On the technology side, I'd put in the Junghans Mega, the first radio-controlled watch.

Love the list but the Square is numero uno - it’s been to space and both spawned and saved the G-Shock line. I’m keeping the Cartier Tank and the Patek Perpetual Perfection in the top ten. Also, the Casioak has to be somewhere on the list. I didn’t even like the Royal Oak until I saw the Casioak.

Rolex submariner (icon) Rolex datejust (Icon) Cartier tank (Icon) Omega speedmaster (we already know it's well marketed enough...) Seiko quartz astron (brought affordable reliable watches to everyone) AP royal oak (Saved the mechanical watch industry) Cartier santos (Icon) Tudor Black Bay (the most popular of the heritage craze watches) Rolex gmt master (one of the first gmts) Rolex daytona (the biggest hype watch of all time) Those are the watches that truly paved the way for the industry as it is today.

Seiko skx has got to be the greatest seiko ever made. A watch that looks ten times more expensive than it’s retail price was, and is an absolute tank. My seiko sla055 on a sla073 bracelet is my personal favourite watch I’ve ever owned, and I’ve owned a explorer polar, JLC navy seals diver, reverso’s, a datejust, Breitlings to name some, yet this one looks better than all of them. If you have one or the 057 don’t hesitate to get the bracelet as it takes it to another level.

I like your list better. I’d swap the submariner and the speed master perhaps. I think the snowflake will move up the rankings in the years to come - the movement, the dial and the use of titanium were all pioneering in their own way for a mid-tier luxury watch. The latter two are becoming more and more widely adopted by other makers.
