Luxury Watch Collecting Alternatives!

[@SwissWatchGang]

Which watch/clock did you like the most and what should I buy next?

[@AbdulRWatches]

My favorite is the jump hour art deco pocket watch, i have a jump hour vintage watch, definitely always interesting.

[@koncinar]

The chime on the first one is unparalleled

[@CJB420]

Definitely the repeater 😍 I have an old omega pocket watch from 1908 from my great grandfather thati really like but never use. I sometimes just wind it and look at it 😊

[@Nefville]

You should get a Kit Cat clock, black with the white bow tie, the traditional one. They are about $100 and look awesome. I have one coming soon.

[@richardman28]

I love the quarter repeater pocket watch the best followed by the Hong Kong bird clock. Would love to own these pieces. You so lucky. Keep collecting these beautiful items mate.

[@realchuckp]

this is becoming one of my favorite watch channels on youtube. your presentation style is very pleasant and informative - and your pride in your collection of quirky items is very apparent. i really enjoyed listening to this and seeing your interesting and personal items. my favorite would probably be the beautiful jumping hours pocket watch. definitely get it fixed! the luxor desk clock is also gorgeous.

[@SwissWatchGang]

Thank you Chuck, I really appreciate your feedback. I try to diversify the channel as much as I can and not just hover around the most popular brands as I hope is apparent so far. :)

[@KRAFTWERK2K6]

THIS is what i really like about a watch collection. When you have a few that you really appreciate for various reasons and functions. And not just to collect for the sake of collecting. Each and every single clock and watch in this video really is an absolute timeless beauty (no pun intended) and they are really covering a nice broad spectrum of different types and uses. The alarm pocket watches in particular are really beautiful.

[@SwissWatchGang]

:)

[@koncinar]

The birdcage is the most interesting one. I'd be curious to see more crazy watches.

[@SwissWatchGang]

Glad you like it Rok, it's a special piece because I brought it home from my travels :).

[@richardman28]

Your collectables are so cool. I have always like pocket watches because of the beautiful movements. This video has inspired me to start a small pocket watch collection that I have always wanted to do. Love this channel because of the passion of mechinics, so refreshing compared all the watch channels always talking about investments in watches and flipping. This video is the reason why I have a been a collector many many years ago, as I am not interested in the money side of it, which I feel in recent years spoiled my hobby. Thank you Marko, I really enjoyed this video.

[@SwissWatchGang]

Thank you Richard for your kind comment as usual, collecting pocket watches is fun, inexpensive in most cases and I am always happy when I find something new. Got another one coming soon :).

[@richardman28]

@@SwissWatchGang yes, they are jot that expensive considering the age and the movement and workmanship involved. It's actually value for money. I inherited an omega pocket watch which is not working and now been sent to Switzerland for repair. Hopefully, it will arrive back before chrsitmas and hopefully many more will follow.

[@Michael.Chapman]

2:36 the areas shown are called ‘brassing’ and are caused when the layer of rolled gold wears through, exposing the base metal underneath. The repeater is awesome :-)

[@vgcamara]

This video was really cool! Love that you get enjoyment out of simple and inexpensive watches/clocks. That's what the hobby is really about. The alarm clock was very nice and clean. I usually don't like world timers in watches because they make the dial very busy but that desk clock is superb! I'll probably be adding a 3-axis 3D printed Tourbillon desk clock soon since they can be had for cheap and are a treat to look at. The question is, will it be too big and loud to have at my office desk 😂

[@SwissWatchGang]

I appreciate the kindness! I also started buying watchmaking tools now xD. I think i'm officially a horder now... I need that 3D tourbillon desk clock, I know which one you're talking about!

[@peterhaynes8258]

GREAT COLLECTION !! THANKYOU FOR SHOWING US SIR.

[@YongJoonPaek]

I think I've commented this before. But this is really the best watch channel on youtube.

[@SwissWatchGang]

Thanks Yong! Too kind :)

[@botezsorinconstantin]

Just amasing Marko!!! I really like all of them, but the Grisel is very cool. Enjoy them and thank you for this video. Very nice, like always!

[@SwissWatchGang]

Glad you liked the vid Sorin!

[@JuanRamirez-po1yo]

Very very cool collection of various pieces. Personally I like the bird clock and the watch

[@SwissWatchGang]

Thanks Juan! :)

[@temulwee702]

Definitely like the 3 dial desk module. Thanks for sharing with us.

[@SwissWatchGang]

🙏🏻

[@timebyraf]

Waited so long for this to come! Such a cool video! Fyi: Usually, dealers allowed to brand the dial of pocketwatches with their name if the amount of watches ordered was at least one dozen!:)

[@SwissWatchGang]

Thanks bro and thanks for the info :)

[@MidEnginedFan]

I was watching this episode with my son and he noticed the way "Tokio" is spelled on your Luxor desk clock. He learned in history that the spelling of "Tokio" was the common spelling up to 1890, where after the name changed to the common spelling we're familiar with as "Tokyo". Had something to do with the emperor of the time moving to Tokio and changing the spelling for the "new & improved" capital.

[@pilotwjf]

Quirky and charming little collection. Fun stuff. For me, the jump hour was the stand out.

[@SwissWatchGang]

Thanks William and yea the jump hour is hard to find, especially this clean. I'll get it repaired one day!

[@AbdulRWatches]

Amazing collection Marko, I really love all of them. I really think that Luxor is a perfect table clock for the office and the one with the thermometer is perfect for the living room :D

[@SwissWatchGang]

Thank you Abdul!

[@myrongunnar1518]

Love it, big dawg!! We all have the collector gene! Yours seems to be terminal!! And! Incurable!!

[@celko889]

That art deco dial on that angelus is the winner for me, and the alarm could be one of the most useful features of a watch

[@SwissWatchGang]

Glad you like that one Marcel, I agree on the alarm function, definitely something you could use daily :)

[@richardnedbalek1968]

LOVE your alarm pocket watch! 🔔 🔔 🔔

[@SwissWatchGang]

Thanks Richard, you can pick them up quite easily still, just search for "angelus pocket watch alarm".

[@JackJazzm]

Interesting collection 👍🏾 Thanks for sharing

[@misteratoz]

Just got a minute repeater pocket watch! >10-100x cheaper than the wrist watch alternative with amazing resonating sound and enamel work.

[@bessiebraveheart]

Hello from England, I love antique pocket watches, I have 80 in my collection, including 4 repeaters.

[@SwissWatchGang]

awesome!

[@JaesadaSrisuk]

I love these little horological objet d’art! They’re such beautiful works of design, creativity, imagination, artistic savoir faire and mechanical ingenuity.

[@SwissWatchGang]

Completely agree with you :)

[@dhananjayringe]

This was like visiting a petrolehead's car collection. Very interesting

[@SwissWatchGang]

haha nice comparisson :D

[@johan3276]

I love so much this kind o history pocket watches videos about the evolutions ideeas and ways of ingineous movement! Hope to see more in the future! I olso hope you encrese youre colection with special exquisite pieces!

[@SwissWatchGang]

Thank you Johan!

[@JogieGlenMait16]

I like how crazy this guy is. Keep it up, man.

[@Steven_M.]

You should put them on gold chains..Flava Flav style! 😄 I like the Luxor, something about world time clocks just gives another level of appreciation to time being everywhere and knowing what time it is without searching your phone.

[@SwissWatchGang]

hahahah yeeea buddy :D.

[@Bhatakti_Hawas]

13:00 What is that thing on the left that moves like a triple axis tourbillon ?

[@SwissWatchGang]

A watch winder :)

[@Bhatakti_Hawas]

@@SwissWatchGang thank you

[@barfymann362]

I think an AP Ultra Thin "Zebra" would add quite nicely to your collection.

[@SwissWatchGang]

Agree :)

[@michaelfierman3256]

I love ephemera like these pieces ! Great episode Marko

Thank you!

[@philipberry1633]

I really liked the the pocket watch that had the cover on the front. I just really like the styling of it. My favorite/only pocket watch in my personal collection is a beautiful 1929 Illinois Bunn Special past down to me from my great grandfather.

[@SwissWatchGang]

Beautiful pocket watch you got as well!

[@juniorjohnson5961]

Thank you for showing I would like to get a old railroad pocket watch. The bird cage is not junk it's pretty cool.

[@SwissWatchGang]

Get it, you'll have joy! :)

[@afonsomiguelcorreia]

where do you buy your pocket watches from?

[@EsperLuxe]

This is cool Marko, nice pocket watches :)

Hi, I really enjoy your video, I also collect pocket watches for 20 years now and I really like your alarm pocket watch in this video that would be my favorite out of this video, really cool and will be in search of one myself from now on, keep up the good work of collecting and best of luck on your journey.

[@SwissWatchGang]

Thank you Tony!

[@26BloodKiller]

Hi I was wondering you're from Switzerland but you haven't ever had a longines watch on your channel. I have a conquest V.H.P.L3.727.4.56.9 I'd like to know what you think about this watch.

[@adhirajguha7547]

Bro do u have a seiko

[@SwissWatchGang]

No

[@BG-ln7te]

I love your watch channel, and It is getting better and better over time. Please keep up this type of content, it is unique among the youtube watch channels. Can you tell me from which Auction House in Switzerland do you buy these "great deals". When you had your video with Marc from Watches TV, you both mentioned some cool auction house in Switzerland where you get bargains, but did not name it. Would really appreciate if you provide more information, I also live in Switzerland.

[@SwissWatchGang]

Thank you very much, I appreciate the kind words. I try to be different, not always the best move for views but it's what I enjoy so I'm glad it resonates with you too. The site I use is Ricardo.ch.

[@base924]

Ha ha, "WTF are you wearing?" That is funny. Love that you have so many interesting pieces 👍

[@SwissWatchGang]

:D

[@VintageInvicta]

Great! I love these pieces! 😄

[@SwissWatchGang]

Thanks!

[@VintageInvicta]

@@SwissWatchGang when I see such old pocket watches with complications I’m always amazed! 😃

[@loriosterweil982]

Lots of fun.

[@theJade]

There's just something incomparable when it comes to the sound of a pocket watch minute repeater. Yes, technically a watch is more difficult to manufacture, but the added size of the pocket watch gives for better resonance and tones. Also, being able to get a pocket watch with inner angle polishing? Likely crazy value in comparison to how much you paid. A wrist watch with that kind of finishing would cost so much more than that.... Love the pieces. Congrats!

[@SwissWatchGang]

Agree on the repeater comment, many wristwatches I heard can't compare to it. :) Glad you liked the vid!

[@jerelido]

love your collection! and it's COOL antik crap.

[@SwissWatchGang]

Thank you haha :D

you just made me wanting to go to a local "Flohmarkt" to maybe be lucy and find some gods :) ! Great content!

Thanks Fernando!

Your macros are so good I wouldn't be surprised if someone figures out what's wrong with your jump hour.

[@SwissWatchGang]

Thank you! The jump hour watch can be fixed, it's just too expensive at the moment for me.

hahaha hope not, so I can keep buying them cheap!

Imagine that bird clock in a few years comes out it was an invention of da Vinci and SWG then becomes and instant 500 millionaire. Lol.

[@SwissWatchGang]

hahahaha I doubt it but would be one hell of a story! Immediate youtube channel giveaway 1 Greubel Forsey! :D

[@jerrysanchez5453]

I think you should always buy what you like.if it goes up in value cool but I wouldn't buy a Rolex even if it went up in value because I just am not a huge fan of the way they look.

[@SwissWatchGang]

Agreed!

[@ilyasmallu905]

Boh I have pokey watch I selling

1000 Swiss Francs to get the Jump Hour repaired? Hahahhahahahaha....I will have it repaired for you for 200 euro with a year guarantee. The 300 euro i will give to poor people.....
