I NEED YOUR HELP. I will be interviewing Alpha M tomorrow to address his absurd video "5 Ways MVMT Watches are BETTER Than ROLEX!". In the video, I want to ask him questions from our community here. Please leave comments with your questions.

[@flippinzippo9670]

Teddy Baldassarre im going to ask around for suggestions for questions... Man youve got a helluva opportunity here..

[@liamkennelly8138]

I think they are stylish minimalistic watches that stand out to me for those reasons but Christian from T&H said it best the date just will never be replaced.

[@Mikey1951ful]

Ask him how much he is being paid to shill those gawd awful MVMT watches.

[@flippinzippo9670]

This might not be appropriate.. People want to know how much he made selling his soul to the devil... And why he doesn't use a regular razor... Hahahaa i watch some pretty low brow watch livestreams..

[@liamkennelly8138]

I also think watches like the Paul Newman’s are what make Rolex stand out. There may be value and price arguments but there are many people that will put $10,000 forward without second thought because of the history and reputation. I think MVMT is a great brand for its value but it will always compete with companies like swatch, and if that’s not enough of a task the relation to Geneve lets you slap a zero to the price tag.

[@ottohahn-herrera8618]

Thank you for mentioning Alpina and Certina, certainly overlooked brands that have history and quality

[@rafialam11]

Can you ask Alpha M what Rolex is he going to buy next with all the money he received from MVMT? I mean he does own multiple Rolex.

[@anandhua.b4589]

Alpha m u mean that mvmt long advertisement guy right

[@LordArioh]

in one of his vids he said he owns 3 or 4 Rolex watches and wears exclusively them, don't care if they got beaten or scratched.

[@arunavdey]

He told he's not going to purchase any luxury watches anymore (in the video where he showcased his watch collection)

[@adamadel6958]

Lol 😂

[@Acord718]

I believe he does own one. In one of his older videos he showed it.

[@dobbinism]

I'd definitely recommend Certina. I have two (although one doesn't count here, it's a DS Quartz, still going strong since 1989), latest being a DS Podium automatic, delighted with both of them. Thanks for the informative reports, truly inspiring.

[@mohammedaiyaad4546]

agree with you sir, certina watch are most durable watch I ever seen, i own certina ds podium chronograph

[@andreaiacolina]

Finally someone who suggests Mido and Frederique Constant, 2 brands with great value for money! Well done Teddy, as usual.

[@theodorelenoir]

Andrea Iacolina In terms of value for money Mido is way better than FC if we’re talking about FC’s entry level mechanical pieces.

[@andreaiacolina]

@@theodorelenoir I completely agree with you!

[@tomjens2046]

@@theodorelenoir how did you compare value for the money exactly?

[@theodorelenoir]

@@tomjens2046 I don't currently follow the market on these 2 brands, but at the time of writing Mido was severely undervalued. While I believe both brands offer similar quality watches, the fact that Mido's entry-level pieces are being powered by ETA-based calibers and not Sellita and were still cheaper on the gray market made them a great value proposition.

[@yeetaunwong3186]

What about ball?

[@freesneaky]

Great list. One should buy Tissot or Hamilton and stop looking at watches for mental and financial health :) that never happens tho

[@jorgecasas6390]

Hear hear!! :D

[@ianhafiz1277]

Eww Hamilton

[@darrenfry4695]

Always say you can't beat a Tissot

[@larryfishkind5387]

I’m in the same boat as you any spare time I have I’m researching and trying to decide between tag tissot Hamilton longines movado etc. I need help I’m still new to this but trying very hard to find the best $1000-$2000 Swiss watch

[@freesneaky]

@@larryfishkind5387 wow this comment was from 3 years ago. Time flies. After more years of collecting, I kept and wore watches that l liked only. Brand and prestige didn't mean much as 1. Most people dont recognize watches not care 2. working remotely decreased human interaction and 3. Many people respond to expensive watches with 'wth that much on a watch? Buy an apple watch'. So I have been wearing watches I really liked, some with weak branding and odd appearance.

[@angelgarza4410]

I like how he goes directly to the point. Not a lot of talking, short and very well made videos 👌

[@VersedNJ]

I own 1 Hamilton watch, I'm 61 years old, the watch is 61 years old, it was given to my mother by a jeweler she worked for, it was serviced once years ago by Hamilton (I think sometime in the late 90's) it's in a gold case and put a 16mm leather band on it. I have no son's but daughters, no intention of selling it, but I am going to find how much or little its worth. As far as your suggestions, I am interested in a Mido or Alpina (sp). I have heard very good things about both. Not everyone can afford or willing to spend thousands on a luxury brand. Though I have always had my heart set on a Speedmaster and as of late Tudor has caught my eye. Many people have hate for some of these brands mentioned because of their parent corporations. Invicta or Fossil have bought some good brands, and should look at what is produced and not the owner. I have a Zodiac, love the watch and I do know Fossil owns them.

[@topg2820]

Try chrono24's site if you wanna appraisal the watch You are right that you shouldn't sell the watch but I personally feel you should hand it over to someone (preferably some young adult male relative) who will be able to wear it with the same enthusiasm you have and will take care of the watch

[@thewhippetwhispereretal4438]

Ladies wear bigger watches than men used to years ago. Leave it to one of your daughters if they are interested. It's hard to get kids interested in watches... my son thinks you only need one watch and it's just to tell the time!

[@stig5763]

Update??

[@kristiangustafson4130]

Mate, what did you end up learning about that vintage Hamilton?

[@Subcounter]

I just found out about your channel yesterday, and I was searching exactly this! Was looking for up to 1000$ range Swiss watch, and here it is you just upload it the next day. Almost like a custom made video haha. Thanks man. Was also looking at Baume & Mercier entry level line as well. Just gotta say, great job the way you present the watches with their real market value ranges, and watch types. Subscribed!

[@larryterry4337]

I’d also like to hear your general views on the Baume & Mercier brand.

[@hugolambrechts8951]

Loving the intro, it is so satisfying with headphones. Keep up the great work Teddy!

[@05Rudey]

Good shout with Tissot, quality watch brand for the money, as well as Fortis.

[@marcdecock7946]

When you see that Tissot has an entrylevel automatic watch with sapphire for max 350 Euro, why would anybody even consider a MVMT?

[@mrmagoo.3678]

I do love a Tissot.. Only a REAL dick would buy a MVMT Mr .De..errr...Clock

[@user-pn3im5sm7k]

@speed and power *now comes with a 5-liter V8* They stepped it up with the PRX marketing though, which is fortunate.

[@frankkassongo3943]

love your video's, i look after you every time i consider a new watch.

[@helenrushful]

Definitely the Hamilton for me. Ive had one for many years, hasn't missed a beat and looks great. Like the look of the Constant and the Tissot visodate.

[@gstaraftari]

Hamilton is actually American. But yes they have swiss made mechanism.

[@joelf5565]

Hamilton was bought by Swatch groups, so it is no longer American. I’ve been eyeing the Hamilton Broadway with the olive green band.

[@Éire1798]

The Longine Hydroconquest is also a good choice under the k mark. Great video got me thinking about some other brands. Thank you.

[@stacegodenir3506]

Your content just keeps getting better and better.

[@TimedSquare]

I would definitely go with my Certina DS 1 Powermatic 80, grey dial, rose gold indices, ss case. Beautiful, available, versatile, tasteful, around $500-700. This was my pick over the Hamilton Intra Matic. Nice list Teddy!

[@dmitriymishakov9948]

This powermatic line of movements has plastic details in it, so better avoid

[@jorge23483]

Hamilton Khaki King, a little more dressier than the other Khaki Field cousins, power reserve of 80 h and with day & date complications applied with more symmetry in its dial. Between $450-550 a killer option for a everyday day/workday watch. Nice video, cool suggestions 😎👌.

[@sporadicidiocy]

I bought the Khaki King about 6 months ago as a daily, then just bought a Jazzmaster GMT over the holidays with a decent discount. Both very nice and versatile that will look sharp on most occasions.

[@scottparis6355]

I have a Hamilton Jazzmaster that was a birthday present maybe 10 years ago. It's very thin and very elegant. Thing is, Jazzmasters (mostly) don't have second hands, so there's no way to tell that it's a quartz watch! I love it. Elegant accurate, thin.

[@ThrE3-GeS]

If a watch is thin, it‘s practically a giveaway that it has a quartz movement.

[@c5back9]

I like the Victorinox. Bought one on recommendation from my local jeweler as a handsome but very durable alternative for when working around the house doing landscaping and such. It’s a bit chunkier than a Rolex Sub, but still pretty comfortable. And one doesn’t have to worry about wrecking an expensive timepiece. I bought the stainless/blue face diver watch with stainless bracelet about five years ago and have rarely taken it off since. Keeps very accurate time and is tough as nails.

[@BuddyRansom]

Great list! Glad to see Victorinox mentioned. I'm loving my Infantry Mechanical 241646, might have to pick up an INOX someday also.

[@corrbox2]

Interesting review of many reasonably priced watches. I like your choices and the way you speak with a great deal of knowledge about all the different watch brands and many models. You obvioulsy have a great deal of experience with all these various watch brands. Thanks again.

[@peteberryman9157]

Love Mido and they have a fantastic history. I am currently wearing a Roamer which I am loving and fits right into this category 👍

[@JamesDavidWalley]

I must admit that, however nice I find many Hamiltons, it’s impossible for me to think of them as "Swiss" watches, even though they're made there, because virtually every design I see them produce seems to be merely a retro throwback to a design of theirs from when they were the top American watch company. Of course, I'm old enough to remember my father going off to work wearing his American-made Hamilton tank watch, but I still think of the brand as an American watch company whose products just happen to be built in Switzerland.

[@roel1971]

I've owned a victorinox for about a year now best watch i've had so far good price performance and nice finish can definately recomend.

[@4034miguel]

Great choices. Certina is really excellent brand. Thanks for the video

[@TeddyBaldassarre]

Total agreement on Certina. Thanks for watching Miguel.

[@oundurra4]

Since my first INOX I just fall in love with the watch. I'm not tall at all and have a regular thin body shape and the watch fits perfect, it's bulky but very comfortable even the steel versions, also you can use it with a suit, casual or sport clothes and works very well. Now I have 6 of theses and the quality is outstanding, the automatic versions are a steal considering the details of dials. Also, what Victorinox have is its unique hexagonal bezel making it the only watch in the list with its own personality. Finally, I'm currently here in Switzerland and I'm shock how expensive are the carbon and automatic versions and also the Alpinas, in my country (Chile) the Certinas are more expensive but here is the opposite by far. For me, if you want to step up from Victorinox you have to think in Rado, Tudor or Omega.

[@josealbertozamora9375]

Very good video as always, that Mido Ocean star look awesome.

[@robertoviacava8091]

Certina offers a lot of bang for the buck! Here's my question: Will MVMT watches have the lustre to trascend or to pass down generation to generation just like Rolex?

[@JamesDavidWalley]

Certina make great watches - in addition to their divers, the DS-1 line is among the best under-$1,000 dress watches around. The problem with Certina is that Swatch, in their infinite wisdom (?), don't sell them in the U.S.; the only way you can get a new one here is via the grey market.

[@thetimemachine3828]

Roberto Viacava - I just purchased a Certina DS Podium as an alternative to an Explorer 1. It hasn’t arrived yet, but I’ve heard nothing but good things and I absolutely love that dial. If it’s as good as I’ve been told, the price is *ridiculous*. www.jomashop.com/certina-watch-c001-407-16-087-00.html

[@lukakalajzic8715]

Hey teddy, love your watch videos and watch every one of them but your fashion video are just the best. Because you dont take any sponsorships it makey you very credible and you have amazing advice. So if you could do like every 5watch videos a fashion related video, Id be very gratefull

[@flippinzippo9670]

All about the entry level swiss!

[@TeddyBaldassarre]

Haha so many overlooked Swiss brands here... I was amazed when putting this together.

[@bumpyroad3251]

Fortis, Revue Thommen?

[@adamdelarozza1985]

I have 4 Mido's. Three Ocean Star's and one Limited Edition Chronograph . The appreciation on some Mido's is remarkable, i must say. My daily wearer Ocean uses the Caliber 80, very refined, I think Hamilton uses the same one too....

[@mattd9330]

Great comparison, some really great picks! Have owned the Ocean Star and Baroncelli pieces-very nice value for money.

[@neilalexanderwalker5855]

Just picked up a Victorinox INOX in Bern, Switzerland. Fantastic watch (especially if you're a larger man--it's the first watch I've tried on where a link had to be removed!). I think these watches will become more collectable over time. Knife collectors (like me) already know and trust the brand, and my impression of the watch conforms to my experiences with their knives and multitools. Highly recommend it!

[@matthewhoover6154]

I enjoy your videos. you helped me get into watches by showing me options that are less than 500 for a decent watch. I didn't think they existed. I got myself the Seiko Snk805 and Tissot Luxury stainless Powermatic 80 Cosc. i'm so satisfied with my first 2 watches. Thank you. and that Hamilton Jazzmaster watch in the video is gorgeous, my next watch will be that or an Orient.

[@Mmmyess]

Your lack of enthusiasms for these watches -- just the exhaustion in your voice -- brought a smile to my face. So I'll say this much in favor of them: it is through positive experiences with entry-level automatic watches that new horologists are brought into the fold. (P.S. I really wish more people would embrace Invicta...the company is exactly what the high-end watchmakers need, a starting point. Timex (bless 'em), by contrast, is an end point...you buy your Timex and wear it until one of you dies.)

[@DemetriosLevi]

I was waiting for a vid like this...thanks man! You're videos are incredible...editing skill over 9000 Also what do you think of the Squale Atmos 50?

[@bradstevens174]

Great video as always. I also love Squale for this price range. The 1521 in particular is a great diver under 1000.

[@dfunklegendfontdawg5023]

Really liked the looks of the Hamilton Jazzmaster. Especially the Brown face. Thanks.

[@darrenfry4695]

IMO you seriously can't beat a Tissot sport,,,goes with anything clothwise ,chilling trackies, to suits..for about two and a half hundred quid ,, cheap but seriously good plus it has the swiss stamp so you know deep down it's quality

[@mohamedfarid93]

Hamilton Jazzmaster & Tissot Visodate , my favourites in this price range. 😍

[@SgtKong]

Keep this series going

[@shodemmainman9871]

I'm a fan of Swatch. I've got 4 of them and gave a fifth away. I've been using one for the past 10 years and it's fantastic.

[@Flooblecrank]

I currently own the Glycine Combat 6. Can't compete with my Omega or Tudor but it's a solid piece. Another good Swiss Made brand in this range I think is Squale, specifically the 1521 if you don't dig their 1545 homages. Great video as always. Love the new intro, especially where it incorporates your Nomos chrono. Be well, John Spartan.

[@Swordguyman]

My first Swiss watch was a Victorinox Maverick 24701. Loved the design, but the OEM bracelet was either too snug or too loose for my wrist. Also, the quartz movement didn't align with the indices and had a twitchy way of moving. My second was a Victorinox Alliance 241666. Again, a beautifully designed watch with conservative proportions. My biggest issue with it was the turning of the crown, which was very stiff and made setting the time a pain. I sold both watches. Maybe one day I will revisit Swiss watches...

[@SampsfaN]

Mines a Wenger Seaforce that I got for around 260$... that's all I could manage after resisting my temptations cuz I'm a student but it's a great looking watch...

[@MachelGreene]

That Hamilton Jazzmater looks dope

[@voidifremoved]

Just bought 2 Glycine Airman 42 GMT GL0151 for 190 ea in blue. Great watch. Big date at the 12, can track 3 different time zones all in 12 hr format. Great value and I love the way it looks. I sold my original and regreted it so much I had to buy it again.

[@adriandrabkowski8742]

Hello, what about Roamer? I have one Roamer Rockshell Mark III. From my experinece it's is very good watch for good price.

[@torbensvensson2093]

Great video there, Teddy! 👌🏻👌🏻😍😍

[@MrBruno7447]

The Tissot Swissmatic movement (ETA C15.111) is essentially the same Sistem51 movement used in the Swatch Irony, but with a metallic rotor. No hacking, but it does have hand winding (rotating the crown counter-clockwise), and accuracy can vastly change depending on your unit. I first got one with -50s/day, got it serviced and now it's more around -10s/day. Not astonishing but acceptable. One really good thing though, it has a power reserve of around 72 hours, which lasts me the entire weekend without wearing it.

[@artagain8977]

Great review! I have 5 Victorinox watches in my collection, two of which are automatics; the Maverick and the discontinued Diver Master 500. They’ve been rock solid performers for years. Good ETA movements for the money.

[@robedmunds7163]

Enjoyed that, keep going.

[@atticus6572]

Jazzmaster. I get lost in the sauce with that piece. So good.

[@chengteh]

That Certina is super clean! I'm a sucker for Diver's!

[@siddharthkanhai6537]

Hi I wanted to ask if titoni is worth. I am looking forward to buying titoni impetus with black dial. Should I go for it ? I am able to get it for $630. Or should I go for victorinox maverick two tone. PLEASE ANSWER.

[@Angelo-uo2gj]

That Glycine 6 is a beauty

[@liamwall6307]

This intro is better, good job for bringing it back

[@nickgee7291]

Great vid! I really over looked the constant brand! Thanks!

[@themattster1989]

Teddy! My boy Another like another day

[@michellecarson4931]

I love the work you do respect, 1 love from Scotland peace..

[@qazifaisal5]

Is it me or does or is this old introduction a lot better then the current one that seems like an sitcom opening lol . Really awesome video. FC watches generally are not under $1000 range unless you get their very basic models at a huge discount used same with mido's lower tier watches.

[@scbond]

Watching this with a green Certina DS Action Powermatic 80 on my wrist. Fantastic watch if you can pull off the size!

[@flatspin7]

I have a Hamilton Pilot Day Date coming tomorrow.... psyched!

[@TeddyBaldassarre]

Awesome watch man! Hamilton kills it in this range.

[@VersedNJ]

Adam, great. Have two pilot watches, both Stowa's, the first I bought around 9 years ago, no logo, plain black Flieger. Recently well got it last Friday bought a Stowa Flieger 40mm date with a white face and blue hour, minute and white second hand. If I do get a third flieger like watch, I would like a B style. Probably will look into Hamilton or Laco. Or maybe another Stowa.

[@Lockheed35ait]

Adam Ross wearing mine right now, it’s an amazing watch you won’t regret it!!

[@NickJardine]

Jealous! One of my favourites

[@korakatar7921]

I love the Frederique Constant dresswatches!

[@markplayford5836]

Certina and Alpina for me. Love the black Tissot Visadate but dislike the the day date!! The old style Tissot branding looks great though. Even liked the thinner Jazzmaster too. Did not know that Glycine was bought by Invicta 🙁. No mention of Fortis sure their is more but only one I could think of you missed Teddy. Great video keep them coming.

[@ziaulangel8525]

What does everyone think about the Swissmatic or Sistem51 movements? At first, I was very interested, as I thought it'd be a good way to buy my first Swiss Auto. However I've been thinking: are they seen as credible automatic watches in the watch community, given the method of their production (which lacks the craftsmanship and tradition)? Im on the fence on whether I should buy a Tissot Everytime Swissmatic as my first auto - can't make my mind up! I would be interested to hear your thoughts.

[@pavelmarinov1460]

Hey Teddy, what would you choose between the Certina DS Action Diver and the RADO Captain Cook which one would you recommend - similar movements, similar capabilities I am having a hard time :)?

[@MrGrandis852]

I love my Glycine Combat 6 Vintage so much! And I am going to get the Combat 7 with hesalite crystal next!

[@jackbellefeuille8462]

Really enjoyed it! Of these what would you recommend for a first Swiss watch?

[@TeddyBaldassarre]

Well it is all subjective, but if I had to speak for myself I would go Tissot or Hamilton.

[@jamessmetanin7026]

Hey Teddy! Love the videos! Just wanted to get your opinion on the Swiss brand Raymond Weil that’s been popping up recently for me more than MVMT. I’ve found some for under $1K but not sure about the brand. Would appreciate your thoughts on them. Good buy or not really?

[@gragrn]

Cyma and Roamer are two that always get missed and they both make great watches.

[@tonyr669]

I have four Victorinox watches, two automatic and two Quartz, in my collection and I love them.

[@tonyochoa7097]

I have a tissot 1863 auto chrono,and a victorinox chrono with a valjoux 7750 movement,(and multiple japaneese autos,solars,and one quartz,a bulova pressitionist)-the victroinox gets the most wrist time,but they're all good watches

[@svfutbol20]

I have an Ocean Star and it’s amazing. I might buy another in black

[@b-rad5855]

Excellent video bro.

[@christophercardinale3396]

I hope the members of this channel can give some advice. I am new to watches, have used nothing better than a Casio G-Shock for the last 10 years. I like the styling of the German military and pilot watches because they remind me of a Hamilton Khaki I had some years ago. I’d like to know if Limes is a good brand. For around $1000 I don’t know if I’d be getting something worth it. I like the look, though. They also don’t seem to be available from stores. Appreciate any advice.

[@agathosl9534]

I love swiss made watches. Not a japanese fan. I was really looking forward to this video. Swatch sistem is a very interesting piece but i guess its not made to last forever because of the way it was made. Also i am very interested in victorinox maverick, although it is not on the list i wonder what is your opinion about it

[@willipratama4987]

Hi Teddy, What do you think about rado Watches? I just got Rado Hyperchrome, but i cannot find any review or mention about them. Are they worth buying? And i got a quartz version instead of automatic. Lol

[@aldo1999]

Nice watches Alpina i love!!!

[@sailordave1000]

You ever looked at Grovana? I had one in the mid90s while stationed in Italy. It felt solid and well constructed. Unfortunately I fell on hard times and it was one of the things I pawned off including a Vostok automatic I picked up in Ukraine, a fur lined Russian hat with the hammer and sickle emblem, and a Craftsman tool set and box. The Volstok watch felt cheaply made especially with the ring around the case but it worked well.

[@neil222222]

The Certina Powermatic 80 here with the Green Second hand has an ETA caliber G10.212 AA Quartz

[@anasfaris9816]

Very nice video , on my last work trip I found a DS action for 600$ and I really like it and thinking to buy it soon .

[@artmccomeskey738]

Got my first Alpina.....startimer GMT.....it's now one of my fav.s defo an underrated brand

[@philipsdefreville6138]

Teddy, great choices, very well researched. I mean you could have the Certina Diver and the Hamilton Intra-matic and that would be a great 2 watch collection. For a great all round tool diver the Certina is amazing, do you even really need a Sub.

[@goodperson6622]

Could you guys please help me with an answer, are entry-level swiss watches worth it? Trying to choose between them and Seikos for under $1000. Appreciate it.

[@martinspilovsky9071]

Hi, thank you for the interesting video MIDO is a grand which I recently discovered and had the pleasure of trying the Ocean star on hand - titanium with orange. really thinking about getting it, is there a reason for not including Glycine maybe, also the F.C Index looks awesome gonna check it ;)

[@ricardoviteri4869]

Hey teddy great video what about the certina ds collection and tissot pr 100?

[@savrocks4256]

Certina looks amazing.. is it a better brand than Tissot ?

[@SergioSanto02]

I had the DS Multi-8, it was a mess, 3 times has been repaired, after that I sold it. The analog was not sync with the digital, every time came worse!

[@febhh8052]

what do you think about the Certina DS8 Chronometer, it s my first watch and I paid it 350$ was it a good buy?

[@Vow247]

I enjoyed the video. I own a Tissot Visodate and the Hamilton Khaki handwind, and would vouch for their quality. One criticism would be that Glycines combat sub range has not changed since the Invicta buy out as you state.

[@anandarochisha]

Swatch...awesome..like the 'Bic" being an entry level legacy investment writing instrument.

[@tonycasullo8780]

Just bought a Mulco Buzo from Amazon for 850$ and this watch is awesome.From the quality to the look its great for a watch under 1000$.

[@cecedabo]

recently bought a nomos club campus thanks to you and adore it!

[@garretthuff1905]

I think that the Tissot powermatic 80 is worth a shout out. 80 hour power reserve, smooth winding movement, its inside a shirt sleeve easily, diamond hour markers and sapphire crystal. Definitely worth the $500-$900 price point they come in at.

[@garretthuff1905]

Fits inside a shirt sleeve**

[@paulonovoaolazo2134]

Hello Teddy! thanks for the amazing content. I´m interested on starting a collection of entry level automatic watches. Im a graphic designer with a very strong interest in history so i would like to pick pieces with historic significance, im thinking about the Seiko 5 SNZG13 as a good option to start but what do you think? I don´t know if this watch is actually meaningful in terms of design history, but i really like it. So let´s say i get this one, wich one would you recommend next? or maybe brands to check out? Tissot? Timex? Thank you so much for your help!

Totally agree. This looks alot like my collection. Mido, Tissot, Hamilton, and Certina are all under the Swatch flag. Although Alpina predates Frederique Constant, Apina was under Frederique Constant's ownership prior to Citizen's acquisition.

You should look at Ball and Longines.

Teddy Baldassarre - I am a little surprised that you haven't mentioned the Atlantic brand. What do you think about them?

Teddy, if you do another video, slightly higher value watches, Oris etc, I would recommend Ball, great watches for the money and great heritage.
