Our 20 Favorite New Watches Of 2021: Seiko, Omega, Tudor, Rolex & More

[@PowerSuitNinja]

These guys should do a buddy cop movie together. Posh Londoner TGV and grizzled former-NYPD cop Marc team up to thwart international crime syndicate MVMT as they attempt to blow up the Big Ben. Or something like that

[@johnviano4584]

Hi TGV, I love these collaborative videos with Marc. You guys come through as true friends talking watches and I feel like I am there with you. Hope you and yours are doing well. Best regards, John

[@MRrobert7200]

So pleased to see your continued effort to collaborate with Marc Frenkel. Love to hear your opinions and preferences. Looking forward to a long lasting series of episodes! Keep up the great work!

[@JBFire97]

The JLC “no dead time” on the minute repeater, is a mechanism that allows the watch to chime hours and minutes without a gap when the quarter hour chime is not needed, such as 14:09. Great video, more of the duo please!

[@anishg8103]

A special thank you to both of you! You help me start my watch collection last year. I have seiko, orient, invicta, titan, and so on.

🙏🙏🙏 I'm flattered and honored, I am sure Marc is too. Thank you on behalf of us both. Have a great rest of the weekend. Best regards, TGV

[@gervers]

Still laughing at Mark’s comment that “everyone wants to hear the comment of a man who is wearing a watch movement on his shirt!” It’s completely true! I would love to hear your review and comparison of the Moonwatch! Fantastic show as always! The hour literally flies by!

[@cagataycakmak2280]

I really like these videos between TGV and Mark, look forward to these every month.

[@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR]

Awesome show my friend! JLC 4 FACES!!!! That watch is ridiculous! That is absolutely incredible !!! How many times does the crown pull out?!?!?! That Casio is worth a punt !;) All the best T

[@jimlittle5769]

I love these collaborations. Two of my favorite watch youtubers together. Must watch video every time. Thanks to both of you for doing these.

[@DubenDeFreshDJ]

Love the selection, but the chemistry between you guys was great for a 1+ hour. Keep me hooked.

[@keanlim1134]

I never leave comment ever on any website and I gotta say, this is one of the best watch clip I have seen on KZbin. I love so many of the watches you guys brought up especially those lesser covered watches namely Bertucci, Squale, and Marathon that made your list. Great show.

[@jc944t]

Great pics by Marc on the Marathon and Damasko / TGV's choice on the Sub 39 Squale and Breitling. As always, great video guys!

[@tiberiuvincze8288]

Hello again, so when you two make a video it's fun and full of info. And when I'm looking at your separate videos it's something else. As always great!

[@TheShane209]

Yes! I’ve been dying for this, I love this series. Thankyou TGV and Mark!

[@rorymcclellan3740]

Tgv gets into a mispronunciation loop, Mark under his breath knowing Tgv wont drop the bone: "Don't worry about it" XD Love how you two bounce off eachother and inevitably make these videos just as entertaining as they are informational. Excellent content!!!

[@kjeldpedersen666]

Hi TGV Yet another interesting & entertaining video from you guys. So many cool watches, but the one I’m most interested in - and it’s within my reach, too - is the Cartier Tank solar. Been wanting a Tank for a long time, and now I’m glad I waited😊 Keep up the good work, together as well as separately. And have a nice weekend👍

[@albertomedina9924]

Entrance is hilarious! Thank you, because I needed that in my melancholy state lately.

[@lenny971000]

You guys nailed it! Great diverse lineup with a nice personal touch.

[@thomaskuhn6541]

As soon as Marc mentioned Ming I made the connection to Ming Thein whose photography blog I've been following for well over 10 years. Amazing talent with the camera, well worth checking out.

[@christopherjohnson4276]

Perfect timing! Can't wait to see this. Thanks guys.

[@jsimons9630]

Terrific segment! You and Marc have respectively introduced me to Squale and Damasko which seem to suit my preferences, but so much to consider from these twenty watches that you introduced. Thank you!

[@jackprick9797]

Really enjoyed the video. Speaking of manual wind, please consider making a video of top 10 manual wind watches and another, top 10 tough/robust movement watches. Thank you!

[@Kittyland123]

Thank you TGV for the great video! Stay healthy and well! Nick

[@paulwilson9905]

The Ming Thien watch! I followed him for quite a few years when he did a very good photography blog. I was aware of his passion for watches during that period and also followed his journey creating his own watches. Great guy, always responded to comments and questions on photography.

[@Hard_7_Iron]

Nice list fellas… I love listening to you two discuss watches and watch movements.

[@fubaralakbar6800]

Hi TGV! You will be pleased to know that your channel helped inspire me to purchase my first semi-luxury watch and the only one I have ever paid more than $50 for: a Citizen Promaster GMT diver, which wasn't quite what I was looking for but was VERY close. I absolutely love it. Thanks!

[@theurbangentry]

So glad to hear, cracking watches, maybe the best of Citizen IMO. Enjoy it, wear it with pride and may it serve you well. Thank you for sharing that. Best regards, TGV

highlight of the month these collab videos with marc! you guys are so funny and down to earth about everything small and large topics

[@DidIMakeYouThink]

What an Odyssey! Thank you both! For my number 1, it's a throw up between the Zenith and the IWC. The IWC is just so modern and the Zenith is a great example of how consistent we are at producing, once rare, but now less rare, classically materialled watches.

[@noahmcguire8195]

Don’t know if anyone’s mentioned it yet, but the dead time avoidance function is for the minute repeater. If for example the time it 10:10, the minute repeater would chime 10 times for the hours, then instantly chime 10 times for the minutes. Most minute repeaters would have a space of “dead time” where the 15 minute double chime would normally fit in, but would not chime before the 15 minute mark. I hope that clears it up, purely convenience for those that get bored with their minute repeaters between hours and minutes between X:00 and X:14

[@nightknight9415]

[@ilzephyrli]

Happy that you discovered Naoya Hida Co! Their designs are truly simplicity at its most elegant!

[@brianmsahin]

Absolutely great list guys, my favourite would be the Patek, but those nice bosoms looked quite good too.🙂

[@coleseitz4666]

The dead time avoidance system stops the long pauses that can happen with minute repeaters for certain times. This makes it more enjoyable to listen to, and also stops accidental breakage of the movement in restarting the system prematurely.

[@anthonystevens8683]

TGV and Mark, you guys are brilliant in these top tens, great fun and educational as well. Laughed out loud with the pronunciation attempts of the last brand.

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you Anthony, I am glad to have people like you with us! Best regards, TGV

Very nice show guys, like alwais. Thx TGV and Marc!!! 🙏

[@rodrigogutierrezreyes4702]

Love the video. Ming Watches are amazing. They've been going for a while, they were founded by photographer Ming Thein. Secondly, I love that you picked the Chronomaster Sport, such an amazing release from Zenith. I just think it looks way better than the Daytona. In addition to that both the Breitling Premier Heritage Chrono and the Black Bay Chrono are beautiful. The Breitling is just as beautiful as they get, it has that Vacheron or PP Chrono look to it and the BB Chrono is just like Mark mentioned, it's going to be Tudor's Daytona, only that it looks better than the Daytona. Onto the astronomically high priced JLC Reverso, what a beautiful pice that one. Just incredible, super complex but elegant. Next is the Patek 5236-P. This one is just understated luxury at its fines. Such an amazing complication as it is an annual calendar and make it look so simple, almost Calatrava-esque is just amazing. And last, bit not least the Naoya Hida watch. They make incredibly beautiful watches. If you like that one, you should check Kurono watches. They are another microbrand from Japan, and they make beautiful watches.

[@andreashuttenlocher]

Guys, great video....really enjoyed listening to you go on for over one hour! Loved the mentioning of the Bertucci in such illustrious company and agreed - if they just would make a manual wound version. One thing for Marc and his love of the white dial Marathon GSAR: you should definitely check out the new Mühle Glashütte S.A.R Rescue Timer Lumen (luminous dial version)...Cheers mates

[@ryan74931]

TGV thanks for the plug on the new Squale. I've been telling myself for months that the only thing holding me back from a Sub39 is not having a 20mm lug width... My Corso Italiano is on order. Cheers!

[@markbyrum4743]

I had an Explorer 1016 bought new in 1986. That stretchy feeling with the bracelet was merely due to the bracelet being worn and stretchy. It was not so much an intentional design feature as it was the bracelets we're not a durable as they are today. Good vid. Keep at it!

[@JgHaverty]

Ill be honest, ive been subbed to urban gentry since the beginning, but i kind of fell off the wagon a year or so ago. These collaborations are a breath of fresh air and i love how two have dichotomous reasons to come to the same final results. Its almost annoying watching watch videos like this from other people because they always wind up being sycophants to either luxury or uber value; while completely bashing the other. The only other watch channel i think can do this appreciation for watches as watches, while respecting horology while at the same time appreciating great value pieces the everyman can enjoy is teddy. Id really think a cool collab with him about serious discussions would be super cool too. But as it stands these videos are great; i had them on as background noise for a few hours and my wife wound up listening in and enjoying you guys as well. And... shes definitely not a watch person! So good job guys, this is great and refreshing content and reinvigorated my enjoyment of the channel. Cheers!

[@JgHaverty]

Oh yeah, the growth of compatibility between you guys is extremely noticeable. You guys were kind of stepping over each other a bit awkwardly at first, but now its just a great and natural conversation from 2 completely different, but totally valid perspectives. Im an engineer myself, so I can appreciate marcs stances, and i also appreciate horology as a historic process too so i just win here haha. Great stuff!

[@srikanthprasad8288]

Both of you are doing a huge favour to the watch community. Your contribution is immense, especially sharing your knowledge and experience with watches. You guys are the guiding light for thousands of watch nerds like me. Salute.

[@TheKreattion]

I think the Seiko Sharp Edge GMT is my favorite release of this year. It is so freaking beautiful.

[@sylinmino]

Great episode! Small correction--the Cartier Tank was launched in 1917, but the brand's been around for way longer than that! Since 1847, actually (in at least some capacity).

Brilliant video. Best collaboration yet! Have you guys checked out the new Christopher Ward C63 Sealander range. Some very handsome watches! Actually, what about a video on Christopher Ward TGV?

[@lookatwrist]

That solar Cartier is something else. Forget luxury brands, Swiss and German in general have very few Solar options. Only two I can think of is the Junghans Max Bill Mega and the Tissot T-Touch Solar.

[@AmigoCarlitoo]

Great Video, i am about to buy an Alpinist with the Compass, may I ask what is the issue with the alignmeng that you mentioned ?

[@jameshoward9700]

Dude, that Seiko Skyline GMT Springdrive! What a great watch, but really hard to get! That Alpinist recreation looks amazing too. Great movement.

[@johnvsbear4247]

The iwc has a crown that unattaches from the movement via a Special clutch. So the movement really is unattached from the case. Now that’s amazing!

Not sure if it's 2021 or not, but I discovered the Ulysse Nardin Classico Manara limited editions this year. Not sure why, but I just adore the vulgarity of it and the confidence it conveys... They definitely became a grail watch for me. I mean talking about a conversation piece... TGV you should definitely check it out one day for a review! Unless you already did and I just missed the upload, but I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts on it. Cheers
