Daaaang. That's Witness Protection Program level of Hidden Gem. Fantastic pick, Mark. Crushed it.

[@CrownandCaliber]

that gave me a good laugh, thank you for always watching and commenting! -Mark

[@thomasg.109]

Excellent video once again, thank you, Mark. I love the content and some timepieces to think about with their iconic history. A great presenter and you have the audiences attention. Crown and Caliber is a favorite of mine, I purchased a Patek 5396G in September of 2020 from y’all, thank you. I’m looking forward to a very long-term relationship with Crown & Caliber.

[@CrownandCaliber]

Thank you, and I continually like your taste, I think the 5396 has a really nice look that for me works better then the 5205 which is the annual calendar I see much more often. Curious what your next watch is and hope we get to talk at a meet up one day about it. -Mark

It truly is a hidden gem ! Another hidden gem racing watch is the Oris Chronoris ! Oris' connections with car racing date back to the golden age of Formula 1 in 1970 with the introduction of the ChronOris, the manufacture's first chronograph movement. It housed the hand-wound Oris 725 caliber, which was based on a Dubois Dépraz column-wheel caliber. With an oval-shaped case and orange hues, it is today a “classic” watch. One particular characteristic of the ChronOris is that it is a single push-piece chronograph that has no sub-counter for the minutes. Instead, the dial displays a turning flange graduated from 0 to 60 and activated by a second crown. The tachometer scale at the center measures speed.

[@CrownandCaliber]

Well this is going to send me down a rabbit hole doing some more Oris research. That is a hidden gem and a bit of an odd ball watch, both things that I love. Keep 'em coming and thank you for pointing this one out. -Mark

[@niketd1]

@@CrownandCaliber will surely keep them coming Mark , but you please let your amazing hidden gem series coming , your hidden gem KZbin series is my most awaited KZbin watch video !! I share your oddball and unique watch collection taste! Cheers 🥃

[@rickfanning5647]

Really enjoyed the video and it’s a cool watch. But, my heavens, that Monaco with the Gulf logo and stripes! That is COOL. Do you happen to know the backstory on that or was it just some video you were able to get?

[@aamirpatel5300]

Beautiful watch , this hidden gem episode just gave me another saving goal for the coming few years lol

[@CrownandCaliber]

Fun part about this hobby is discovering all the new watches to add to the collection -Mark

[@286michealjoseph6]

Thank you so much for this episode ❤️❤️❤️

[@CrownandCaliber]

No, Thank you for watching -Mark

[@garyforeman1022]

Lovely watch. Very unique. I also liked the tag monza better than the Monaco. It curved edges soften the watch.

[@tab3Gator]

Great video! 👍

[@doles75]

Really great and informative video. Thanks.

[@CrownandCaliber]

Glad you enjoyed it, thank you for watching -Mark

[@Referencez]

Very interesting ! Thank you for the episode

[@CrownandCaliber]

glad you enjoyed it, thank you for watching. -Mark

[@lukasz_zegarkowy]

How about a cooperation video with Luca? Title could be „the hidden gems” and it could be about gems in movements 😂

[@Nuclear__HS]

Don't know if this was an inspiration for Brew watches, but this looks like it could have inspired the Brew retromatic watches almost 1:1...

[@UnseenHero]

Never seen this watch before, definitely hidden!

[@CrownandCaliber]

Glad to hear it, that is part of why I do this. I love showing the under the radar models to a wider audience. -Mark

[@michaelh2343]

Definitely a watch to look for on the pre-owned market.

[@CrownandCaliber]

Like the original Monaco this one was not around long. The reissued ones are such a fun watch. -Mark

Cheers to you Ian! -Mark

[@lancehatch4475]

Great content. I was unfamiliar with that watch.

[@CrownandCaliber]

Glad more people can get a chance to see some of these underappreciated watches, and thank you for watching. -Mark

[@lancehatch4475]

@@CrownandCaliber thanks for the content! I watch every week.

[@philc822]

Silver-stin ??? Silver- stone , unique pronunciation , is that correct ? serious question, Thanks very good informative video

[@BrendanSilent]

Mark, as much as you love to get into the details, I'm surprised you didn't mention a single thing about the internals of the watch. Who made the movement? What movements do both of these models even have? There's almost zero info about the actual watch itself, the whole video is about the watch's heritage. If people are going to buy a watch, they need to know what's under the hood!

[@SuperWhofan1]

Can’t Tag Heuer drop the Tag name and just go with Heuer? Is anyone attracted to the Tag brand??

[@PJM16]

Where’s Nathan gone?

[@MTbone7]

Maybe have one or two to sell if you’re gonna make a vid on it?

[@Armoer]

But then the gem wouldn’t be hidden anymore 😉

[@UGA.D]

When watch folks make videos for items they DO have for sale, they get criticized for producing content to peddle their wares (a constant criticism of HODINKEE). But when creators make a video absent any retail connection, they get "Where's the product?" Talk about CAN'T WIN.

[@MTbone7]

@@UGA.D they only have a channel to sell watches mate. Let’s not pretend

[@UGA.D]

@@MTbone7 It doesn't appear so in this case.

[@GasStationSushiiii]

Hidden for sure, never even heard of it

[@benb1131]

It’s pronounced silver-stone not silverstun

[@UGA.D]

That's your takeaway?

[@benb1131]

@@UGA.D yup

[@CrownandCaliber]

Sorry watching too much F1 before making the video and started adopting the local pronunciation, though yes the proper way would be silver-stone -Mark

[@aneeshwagle8892]

Isn't silver-stun the British way of pronouncing it? I mean it's a British racetrack, so the pronunciation isn't wrong in this instance?

[@benb1131]

@@aneeshwagle8892 I work with British people everyday, some of which happen to be into f1, they say silver stone not silverstuhn but yes sometimes you hear silverstuhn
