My NYC War Room Tour: Omega, Patek, Rolex, Seiko, Universal Geneve, Bulova Watches, Gear & Movies

Welcome to the brand new Urban Gentry war room in New York City! It's been a work in progress post-move, and I'm so excited to share it with you! Join me for a tour inside my new studio where it all happens, from watch designing to shooting cool new content for KZbin, and the occasional but always thrilling visit from our very own Hollywood A-lister-slash-luxury watch connoisseur HRH Hugo Mountbatten. In this video I share my new setup, including the watches I currently have in rotation, tech gear I use to make my videos, art and movies that both inspire and feature in many of my videos, and special horological and historical gifts I've received from you, the good Gentry out there. I also share some cool watch related art and vintage ads, and discuss watches from Omega, Patek, Rolex, Bulova, Accutron, Seiko, and Universal Geneve, which is not only my #wristwatchcheck for the day but also a watch I reviewed last year that quickly became a favorite in heavy rotation. Check the links below for a video of the Universal Geneve White Shadow unboxing and items in this video. What do you think about the new War Room? Let me know in the comments!

an intro with Hugo, TGV showing the new war room and ofc geeking out about watches. My evening can't get better!

[@patricksutton588]

Same!

[@patricksutton588]

Only thing missing is a Fredrico name drop.

[@rollandrotsky8800]

I ask you and Cristiano What is the watch worn by the corpse of Archimedes in the film Indiana Jones and the dial of destiny .🥎🦖😎 ( The Antikythera Mechanism, = Nop ! )

[@Zotrax1946]

I do not know anyone I would watch and listen to, touring his new room- except you. Charming, lovely, interesting and makes me really excited for things to come 🤗

[@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR]

Congratulations on the move my friend!!! War room looks great! Need some sirens in the background though!!!! It ain’t right without it!!!!

[@rebeccawarren2976]

That German fighter is the famous Focke-Wulf Fw 190. Great video as usual!

[@johnd-xd9sn]

TGV and the new NYC war room tour...what could be better leading into the weekend! Jurassic Jeff and Hugo of course needed to make an appearance! Brilliant layout for work, meditation, whatever...but most of all new episodes of the watch collecting journey we've been on for a decade. Magnificent. O&U

[@mitchmatic8029]

Congrats Tristano. Welcome home! New York. New York! 🍎🗽

[@andrewquick1609]

Rent in NYC is no joke. The "minor skirmish" room 🐁

[@timedwards8171]

I think you have inherited your grandfathers talents and drive , I see more design in your future not just watches , I see even buildings possibly linked to your love of watches and horology , the war room looks great

[@balconybill]

That's 24 minutes well spent in the company of TGV. His knowledge, humour, but most of all the passion he has in so many different cultural spheres, so effortlessly conveyed. Keep on keeping on, Tristano, and thank you.

[@Mongoose8326]

TGV for president i love this guy very funny , intelligent and good looking this coming from an alpha male.

[@andywilson3761]

Hugo up to his old tricks, god love him 🦖

[@megakill27]

Man your dvd collection is 🔥🔥🔥

[@dnromeoalphayankee13]

There's a piece of thought behind everything.

[@stan12587]

Been waiting for the new war room :)

[@thedirtygot9570]

Pure class TGV

[@HRM.H]

Congrats on the new place!! Moving is always such a hassle.

[@Guitaural.]

Glad you're settled in TGV, my fellow Art Deco fan 😁

[@trappedindc8678]

HUGO, HUGO, HUGO….I’ve been needing some HUGO!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@richalvarez8058]

That's why I really enjoy this channel! I have collected iconic watches and when TGV posted all of this great content I was influenced.

[@theurbangentry]

🙏🙏🙏 So glad to hear that, thank you my friend, Onwards and ever upwards! Best regards, TGV

[@LoadedGunsMusic]

War-ready!

[@Frank-qs3pe]

I had one of those Swatch wall clocks back in the the late 80’s early 90’s. I must have been about 13 years old . it was red and white.

[@creato938]

Oh, i was waiting for this episode, the new war room is looking amazing.

[@TopStrikerMaverick]

Cobra is an underrated classic and I’m glad you enjoyed it!!

[@summerlinpublic5673]

Over the years of watching the channel I have watched you progress and change and your new war room reflex that. It is more neat and put together. What a great space you have created for yourself and all of us watching!

[@mikemurphy8996]

Not only am I a huge fan of your show but I’m a big fan of you. You are likeable and you have fantastic taste in watches. You will always have a fan in me. Mike from Toronto Canada 🇨🇦

[@dismalswamp72]

I totally agree. TGV seems such a nice engaging chap. The whole show is highly entertaining.

[@ryanstark5497]

Love it TGV! One thing we did working from home is buy a door seal kit with a bottom U shaped seal. These kits are cheap and removable so fine for apts. and block more than half the sound when the door is closed! As you may know anywhere you can see light travels through sound has a free path also. Cheers!

[@AET2433]

Another extremely enjoyable watch. Excellent to see Cobra get a mention and had no idea he wore the Heuer 1000. I only recently saw that Keanu Reeves wears the black version in Point Break and then obviously Leonardo Di Caprio the gold in Wolf of Wall Street. It really is an iconic movie watch. Already looking forward to the next video.

[@AP-nl4gs]

I've been watching your channel for years, and I am happy to see that your health / lung issues are behind you, and you are healthy and prospering. Blessings and much success in your new home.

[@Ishabu7]

Thank you so much TGV for the wall room update! Looks fantastic!! Enjoy the wonderful leather chair as well! Best regards, Your watch enthusiast, Nicholas L 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤❤❤️🦖🦖🦖

[@jbsp201x]

The war room looks better and better! Loved the old war room tours, so pleased to see this! Great stuff

[@carloluigid2104]

Well done, Tristano! Your videos have transirioned from watch-specific deep dives for us fanatics into more of a contemplative lifestyle review. I love them more and more as you continue to grow. Bravissimo!

[@amankozha9778]

Always great catch up with Sir HugO;)!

[@simonbarnett9773]

Looking smashing TGV! All the hard work in assembling it has surely paid off. Good for you. Looking forward to watching many happy hours of your videos in the new location and to the WATCHES!

[@rickjames1405]

"Absolute Philistine waffle..." Hugo kills me! Thanks for the tour, the bit about your ancestors' perseverance to build great things parallels quietly to the great things you've built, you should be proud! Love the channel!

[@inlandwatchreviews5745]

Love seeing the new War room. Glad your back home.

[@Trapvision3D]

This is a great walk through of the War Room/Life of Gentry. Your grandfather would be proud of what you've accomplished. Well done my friend!

[@niksoncutts]

So happy to see your brand new War Room! Love to see how much of your iconic old stuff made it!

[@mantyisbad]

DS9 ... I love that series. I can watch that all day long.

[@rightuppercut1426]

Congrats on moving back to NYC. Love the new war room, so much history behind every item you have in there. Looking forward to new content.

[@jonathanherron3835]

TGV, I've been watching for years and love watching every new video! Getting to see this insight is amazing so thank you for all the great work you've done over the years!

[@davidmichienzi101]

TGV the new war room looks pure class and so happy your back in NYC 🇮🇹🇬🇧👍😊⌚️

[@mattys1467]

It was lovely to see the new war room. Thanks for the tour, but also the incisive commentary and context 🙌

[@Taylorripsharleys]

The new war room looks incredible. Can’t wait for the new content that comes from it. Keep up the good work TGV!

[@dst5596]

I was going to say I look forward to seeing you and Ernie chatting life and watches in the park again, but realised many years have passed and sadly that may not be possible anymore. 😢 Congratulations on the new war-room; I'm very jealous.

[@paulscanlan3386]

Glad to have you back in the city, TGV! The war room set up is top notch!

[@qchang09]

Nice digs! I remember your old Queens setup from 2016 or so....looked more cozy back then 😆 and the flying toaster screensaver brings back memories

[@CogDisso]

Big respect for the Lone Wolf and Cub collection. Incredible series.

[@Conradthecook]

Very excited for the future content. War Room has inspired me to overhaul the box room at home! Thank you.

[@alvinmick218]

So many wonderful things to see in your new War room! I had to laugh when you opened your strap drawer as I can totally relate! I travel extensively for my work and I pack every single watch strap I own because you just never know when you might feel the need to change it up lol!

[@richardbell466]

Wonderful collection. A first class museum dedicated to life.

[@Nextgenerative13]

Loved to see the architecture of your grandfather.

[@Javi_C]

Thanks for the tour TGV!!

[@blackdog9951]

TGV and Hugo are Legends!! Thank you for the tour! Onwards and Upwards!!!

[@tonythomas2510]

Tgv, it's Tony. Been a long time since I commented. Came back home and, with the UK time, I always watched your vids the following day. Didn't comment since it always seemed to be early morning over there so you won't see. Taking a gamble and hoping you will see this though. I did it. First I thought it will be the navi. Then I knew it's the Cartier Santos. Thought it might be black lacquer but I tried the green medium and was just smitten. I couldn't have done this without you. Well remember you and the gentry whenever I check the time. Some dreams really do come true. Love the new war room and excited to see this new era of the Urban gentry. O&u!

[@joseph_b319]

@18:15 awesome After Dark Flying Toasters screen saver.

[@theurbangentry]

I was wondering how long before somebody noticed that 90s easteregg. 😉 Well observed! Thank you, Best regards, TGV

[@Klaatu-ij9uz]

GREAT tour of OUTSTANDING digs!!

[@TimetoWatch706]

Great production quality! Thanks TGV for sharing your war room with us!

[@KK_21]

Amazing upgrade TGA! Wonderful set up, and I love your collection!

[@LuisMercadoorg]

You’re quite the aesthete, Tristano. And we share a lot of the same sensibilities, specifically about modernist furniture, architecture and cinema. Great studio, I’m jealous.

[@77cjam]

Great to see the new war room set up. Clear indication you are now settled back in the big 🍎. Love the art deco lamp 💡.Look forward to future videos from here. 👍. All the best sir

[@JeffWilkinson]

Fantastic new war room, Tristano! I love the little Art Deco touches around the place. I would have the entire house Art Deco if I could, but then I would be divorced soon after. Oh, the sacrifices one must make! I look forward to many new videos from the new TGV HQ!

[@Pantovinator]

Love the icon above the door frame.

[@chronocommander007]

Everything is looking great and Hugo is still my favorite high-rolling terrible lizard. Fantastic tour! Looking forward to the next video.

[@hakanlindhen500]

Looking good Tristano! And another amazing and interesting video. Love the intro with the Hugo dialog. You are so inspiring. Thanks.

[@KenSinclair-pn6xt]

So glad you’re BACK, Ken from England.

[@ExpeditedProductions]

Excellent job on the new war room. Glad to see you have your own space to keep bringing us the best watch enthusiast content on the web. Really interesting insights into the prototyping and manufacture of new pieces. Love how you brought so many aspects of your space to our attention. Fantastic. Be well, my friend. Onward and upward, TGV.

[@deanmitropoulos8079]

One of your best videos , thank you !!

[@dansamma248]

Great to hear you are getting settled! And very fascinating insight on the watch making process. Thanks for sharing 👏

[@JuanArias-w3e]

TGV, love seeing the Catholic artwork and statue of Our Lady in the background! Keep up the good work!

[@nikolastojanov8749]

I must say your White Shadow looks fabulous

[@empierce8337]

My day off couldn't have ended better Sir Hugo, TGV, a tour of the new war room, classic furniture (We both have the same two chairs!!), movies (I think I might just about out geek you on movies.....) and watches (Your insight and knowledge is god tier compared to mortals like me!!) thank you and "buona fortuna per la tua nuova casa!!"

[@theurbangentry]

Grazie mille, you are so kind. Here is to you🥂😀 Best regards, TGV

[@uncles2000]

Living your best life, enjoy.

[@steffen4749]

LOVE that lounge chair!

[@raymondjhorology]

Huge fan and I love your content with Hugo ! You inspired me to make content covering my biggest passion in life , watches !!!!

[@temar_tinez]

I've been following you for quite some years now and it's always a pleasure to watch your videos. It's so refreshing to watch a channel and dedicated man being genuinely interested in his work and sharing the joy of it. Thanks for that and keep up the good work. Cheers and many regards from formerly in Germany now in Japan enjoying my first Seiko 5 (SNK803).

[@Claus-L.Mueller]

Hi TGV! Congrats on your fourth War Room aka Man‘s Cave! It’s obvious you have to make a choice which of your numerous items of the previous War Rooms are able to find a place in the new one. And you did a good job! Well done. 👍 Best regards, Claus

[@joeltoddwilliams3568]

Another great video love the new War Room

[@andrewdavidsonofficial]

Great tour! The stories and meaning behind each item make it that much cooler. Well done!

[@ElderPinto254]

wauw lovely chair you got there!! old churchill love the LIP named after him!!!great room !!

[@ninjasrose1653]

I’m really looking forward to what you’ve got coming down the pipe. I can just tell this is the start of something big. Congratulations on your success and new beginning.

[@robortski]

DS9 by far the most interesting and enjoyable series of all the Star Trek universe. In a class of its own.

[@enthusiastsreview6459]

Thoroughly enjoyed this episode!

[@kennyg4744]

Probably one of my favourite KZbin channels, but I'm confused with the hatred given to replica watches, how do you justify a replica chair?

[@madaxe606]

15:25 is a Focke-Wulf FW 190A. Love the new War Room! That diving helmet is fantastic. Lots of ideas for my own humble study. Thanks for sharing!

[@vitmat7779]

Mister, Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge with us on how the creativity and development works ;), very informative!

[@ryanmead3939]

Good evening tgv, I hope you are safe and well, very cool new war room with just the best bits and pieces, back in the big Apple , and back to business, ONWARDS AND UPWARDS your friend Ryan.

[@russellc7322]

Love the new War room and you’re back in NYC , feels like the OG days of the channel 👍

[@DCbell5]

Especially enjoyed this video, I like the toys, books, and knickknacks, and I paused to check out the library selections. You can tell a lot about a man from what he reads.

[@frankidoodle]

Thank you for sharing, this is a great room from a great guy. Have good restart in NY👍

[@akinigiri]

Congrats to the new war room! Very tasteful and interesting as usual!

[@THX-C]

Looking forward to seeing the NYC War Room, mark ii.

[@kh37859]

Hey TGV, i love your contend, it feels almost like a meditative experience. So rereshing in a world of fast junk contend. All the best, and keep on with your art.

[@leaffan9317]

Love the new war room, I believe I've been on three war room journeys with you. Best of luck on your new adventure back in NYC. Onward and upwards!

[@chrishayes121]

Can’t wait

[@mb8kr]

Great content all round TGV, your space is like museum, the vibes you defuse is likewise inspiring kudos to you.

[@joshuakaplan5726]

My dad bought my brother and I that same exact Enterprise when were just little kids because my Dad was a huge Trekkie and my brother became one too. Was always one of our favorite toys growing up!

[@theurbangentry]

Your father is a legend! 👏👏👏 My mother bought mine when I was a kid. Thank you for sharing that. Best regards, TGV

[@74haydo]

Great looking space, TGV... I love that Art Deco lamp!

[@user-rl3bd8jl9e]

Great video and a great taste of things in your new war room. I love the movie Breakdown, too.

[@k.iskandar]

Been waiting for this new war room tour!

[@michaelmyers4176]

A great dive shop I used to go to a whole lot talking about the bond Lair book they had one of those tiny yellow Submarines from the set of The Spy Who Loved Me. Very cool. I sat inside that tiny Submarine a few times over the years. Very cool seeing the new war room TGV

[@TheFuturisticVintage]

Room looks great bro. Excited for this next chapter.
