6 Craziest Watches Of All Time: Rolex, Bulova, Patek, Piaget & More

[@alexm2113]

Never, ever, ever stop making these videos with Marc, TGV. They're always such a treat! Also, when do preorders begin for the Hugomatic 3000?

[@TheShane209]

Yes Yes 👍🏿

[@antiquesandlearningtolive4369]

You missed it. 65,000,000 years ago. No known examples left.. 👍

[@jonathancorbett7882]

I strongly disagree. While Marc may come across as a nice guy, his store is a scam. TGV should know better, and fans of Marc should do their research and buy watches where they actually get a warranty card. It is, of course, ok if someone _wants_ to buy a factory second, but you should know what you're getting.

[@woodrowclose]

I'm sorry old chap but only those with draw bridges can attain such an exclusive timepiece.

[@doubleugly1594]

@@jonathancorbett7882 Sorry, are you saying that he is selling products that didnt pass QC? Where are the watches going that DO pass QC? I have not feelings one way or another on Marc but im interested in what you're saying here...

[@tailsfromthepast7432]

"Made from Steel but priced as gold" That one got me :D

[@moorwatch9654]

Isn’t that copyrighted by Rolex? 🤣

[@SamanthaMckinney-fr2ke]

I bought this popular video watch from bkuwan , which was originally priced at a few thousand dollars, but now it's only $380! It's really suitable to pick up feces!

[@markbyrum4743]

Re: Accutron - there is a big following among musicians - kicked off according to some - by the late guitarist Tony Rice - for the Accutron 214 model. Several Bluegrass guitarists repair them (as did Tony before his passing last year). Great watch. Bought mine new in 1973! Good vid. Keep at it!

[@NWolfefan]

That is correct, Mark. I'm an admin to a FB Accutron group which was created in memory of Tony Rice. We have a core group of bluegrass muscians within our members.

[@bobalouie2413]

Here are two guys who love watches even more than myself! Thanks so much for sharing your passions. You hit the artistic, engineering and innovative aspects of horology...love the breadth and depth of the discussion!

[@theurbangentry]

🙌🙌🙌 Mission complete, I could not ask for a higher compliment, thank you so much Bob, Best regards, TGV

[@joseph_b319]

I love how when Mark talks about the planes he worked on he has to stop himself before he says too much. Lol

[@sweetd5953]

Sinn U200 is an overengineered beast of a tiny watch. Shockingly small at first but I have grown to love it. Now I'm all set to dive 2,000 meters when the urge to be completely crushed becomes desirable. When I feel like staying dry and returning to the space age a black Hamilton Spectra hits the spot. Keep up those collaborations. 👏

[@davidteer80]

But can I wear it in the shower 🚿🚿🚿

[@sweetd5953]

Probably, unless previous owner removed O ring and didn't tighten it much. But if I open it up I'll lose the nitrogen that may or may not still be in there. 😁

[@Kittyland123]

Thank you TGV for another great interview with Mark! Great intro with Hugo! Health and Happiness to you and your family! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️👌👌👌

[@ExpeditedProductions]

So glad to see you and Marc doing another video together, TGV! That intro was absolutely wonderful. Best one probably all year. Truly enjoyable. Had me laughing even at 230 in the morning after a day of four flights. Completely knackered. Can’t wait to watch the rest of the video along with my coffee in the morning! Too tired to give it all the attention it deserves. Thanks for putting it together for us. Onward and upward!

[@gregentwistle5105]

TGV you killed it on the intro!

[@clydewakefield7349]

Bring on the crazy! I'm a huge fan of the watches that stand out from the rest even though my wife thinks half of my watches are insane (Oris full bronze cotton candy being a perfect example). Excited for the video!

[@henkvandebeek7921]

Best combo when it comes to watch talk. Epic intro and great content as usual

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you Henk, we are honored! 🙏🙏🙏 Best regards, TGV

[@satya.anandakrishnan]

Love it when a Mark x TGV video drops. Thanks for giving me something to look forward to every month guys! Keep up the quality content

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you my friend, I very much appreciate that. Best regards, TGV

[@lonewolfemcquade8133]

Good old Hugo LET'S GO! I really been into Eberhard and company. The Accutron was a great choice and also Aquastar Deepstar. I pre ordered the Deepstar 2 I can't wait. In that lovely 37mm case size.

[@theurbangentry]

So funny, I was looking at a moon phase by Eberhard just the other day, I deffo have to cover them at some point. Thank you for the support and reminding me about that brand my friend. Best regards, TGV

[@lonewolfemcquade8133]

@@theurbangentry and ty brotha for the great content 👌 and yes Eberhard and Deepstar content would be very much appreciated 😁I think you will definitely like what Deepstar has to offer.

[@gervers]

Firstly, best intro ever! I want a timepiece made by Hugo for Hugo in that horological super state Isla Nublar! 🕰 Secondly, I just adore the collaboration between you 2 the rapport is natural and funny and lastly, what a magnificent video! Thank you TGV!

[@GinkgoJoe]

Part 2: outstanding episode -- all the picks were great. Love Marc's depth of knowledge and enthusiasm; great guest star!

[@BHNEOH]

The perfect duo to talk about watches.

[@pilotjpbiv7600]

Truly your best show ever. Love that you guys engaged in challenging dialogue like this. Love this. Great video!!!

[@mieszkogulinski168]

Awesomely funny intro :D I really enjoy learning about unusual and ingenious engineering ideas, and all that technological progress, not only in watches, but generally in everything through human history. That's also why I don't consider quartz watches as something inferior - the knowledge and technology used for making them is more advanced than for mechanical watches. Building an integrated circuit, even a simple one found in the simplest quartz watch - having a circuit for making the quartz crystal oscillate and a frequency divider - requires much more precision than making a mechanism of gears, and also requires much larger material purity. And it's much more complex. I'll admit that seeing a new and different technology, like the electrostatic Bulova, gives me much more fun that seeing a colorful Rolex.

[@hasanmemon338]

Marc's change in face and emotions after 28:52 .....priceless

[@oOoScarecrow31oOo]

Marc’s pick are just completely insane timepieces ! 😱😱🤩 If I had to pick 3 watches to participate, I would say : - the Accutron because it’s one of the kind, - the Zenith El Primero 1/100 s, just ’cause they can do it, but 1/100 s it’s just pointless in a wrist watch, - The JLC Reverso Hybris ’cause it’s just mind blowing tech in a Reverso !

[@garethsigrist8714]

Another awesome episode! You guys have such a great vibe together on camera. I could listen to you talk about watches all day!

[@christopherjohnson4276]

The Casio beep near the end threw me off! Outstanding video gentlemen 😃

[@markikn3183]

The #1 watchduo on KZbin, you two complement each other so well.

[@Marpa47]

Art, Technology, History and… more. And always with the restrained good taste, style and humor, (humour?) that makes these videos so memorable. Thank you so much.

[@4evalost948]

You are king of intros it's unreal how good you are at intros the watches you guys talked about are out of this world.

[@Tango_November]

The Patek piece Marc introduced at the end was fascinating and also humbling. Like you guys discussed, the skill and sheer genius behind the watchmakers and their pencils and papers really makes you think. Great episode once again!

[@freshramses]

WE WANT THAT HUGO-MATIC! It would make me feel like such a winner!

[@lonewolfemcquade8133]

🤣🤣🤣Definitely 👍

[@hodldemsatoshis3186]

Love this video, super to be able to see both TGV and Marc in one spot talking watches. I’ve always had great experiences ordering from Long Island Watch too!

[@montellanojavelosa6249]

great topic and discussion. I went through a diver phase, g shock phase, a dress phase, seiko phase and a homage phase because i cant afford luxury watches. now going through a vintage chronograph phase, and possibly venturing deeper in the hobby towards aquiring my grails. but I probably would consider myself a vintage/value type of collector...cheers.

[@BrittPearceWatches]

I feel like we need to talk about Piaget more than we do! 😱

[@sweetd5953]

There's a shady motel manager from Wichita, Kansas that might sell you the Piaget he acquired from Steve Martin in Planes, Trains, and Automobiles. 😉 (If that means anything to you. 😆)

[@theurbangentry]

🤣🤣🤣🤣 Great movie, thank you guys! Best regards, TGV

[@TheFranticgamer]

Hugo always brings a smile to my face!!!!

[@Laz_Arus]

It never ceases to amaze me what the human mind can envision and achieve. Great examples of that are shown here gentlemen. Thank you for bringing this knowledge to us.

[@paulg9815]

Always a pleasure to watch TGV and Marc share their passion! Great video as usual guys! All the best!

[@Yaniv.C]

Made by Miyota after 10 years of research. Citizen decided to branch off Accutron as its own name and the watch runs $3500 for the 2020 or $20k for the gold and there’s a limited as well for around 5k I believe. I got mine a month ago and it’s absolutely gorgeous.

[@THX-C]

This was another gem I missed - great vid. One of my favorites with both you and Marc.

[@heikowallauer]

Good evening TGV! Great to have a new edition with you and Marc and some crazy pieces. Personally, the Rolex Daytona Rainbow would be a bit too much for my taste, but I can see the craftmanship in the watch. But the techno-look of the Bulova Accutron is quite perfect and strangely intruiging. Looking forward for the next pieces in this video. Best regards!

[@theurbangentry]

Evening Heiko! I could not agree more on the Rainbow, as for the Accutorn, you absolutely hit the nail on the head with "techno-look". Thank you my friend, chin chin 🥂 Best regards, TGV

[@ahmedhamam4197]

Must be that time of the month again! Love love love it when you 2 get together for this!

[@tomsmith70]

Hello! For my money the JLC Reverso Quadriptyque should at least be an honourable mention given all of its complications and the fact it's still wearable. Great video :)

[@69fastfurious]

Loved the face of TGV at the last watch showed by Mark that Patek is something out of this world ( the pocket one ) plus the turbillon can’t remember the brand but it’s soo cool the globe and all the other functions is a pleasure to see Mr Mark Frankel showing what horology is ! What a lesson video ! By the way was amazed that Mark bought a Daytona Rainbow whoooowww💯🔝👍🏻

[@marinakyriacou6525]

Fantastic video with some amazing pieces. I have to mention the JLC Hybris Mechanica Calibre 185 Quadriptyque, I'm still blown away by how much they fit into that watch.

[@xdmc005]

Love that you guys talked about the greubel forsey quadruple tourbillon. The watch fascinates me, even though it’s not my personal taste (not to mention way out of my budget!). I would love to see one in person one day. Total engineering marvel.

[@moorwatch9654]

That pocket watch is the most impressive watch I have ever seen, thank you both for bringing it to my (all of our) attention, out of interest those small triangular shaped flared bits of the case with the cut outs, seen at @37:25, are they brackets for the watch to be fixed down to something? For example if you were star gazing using charts/boards etc

[@user-ip3ck5pt7j]

Hey TGV, Thanks for another great video. This is a random question but if a month is short of 31 days, is it ok to push out the crown and adjust the date manually (outside the mechanical danger zone), or should you just continually move the hands and cycle through to the next date? Thanks,

[@jeff1176]

I really enjoyed this one guys. I gave my wife some sticker shock showing her the gray market prices of these pieces. So now my $1000 watches don't seem so bad. Lol

[@jjjfffppp]

this hugo video really hit home i was seriously considering a very worn tudor sub with an aftermarket strap for 5k and hugos commercial snapped me back to reality

[@pacovl46]

That was a good one! That Piaget and the Patek pocket watch are just crazy! Where can I get the Hugo by Hugo?! 🤪

[@rodrigogutierrezreyes4702]

I got a list of three outraging watches of my own. 1. Gruebel Forsey GMT Earth 2. Patek Phillipe Sky Moon Tourbillion 3. De Bethune DB28 Kind of Blue Tourbillion Meteorite

[@seattlegrrlie]

I'm a little obsessed with the ultra thin watches. Piaget, Octo, Citizen has an ultra thin solar, then Mille had to go break the record with his absurdity. I love it

[@wrenside]

as a kid i was fascinated by the bulova building !! always gave it a long look as we passed it on the grand central pkwy.

[@JeffJefferson]

The echo on Hugo’s voice in the grand entrance way was priceless!!! Pure class!!!

[@khagen78]

Craziest for me has to be the Jacob & Co. Bugatti Chiron Tourbillon Sapphire. The entire case is cut from a single block of sapphire and there is a working model of the W16 engine from the car in the watch. The movement spins the crankshaft of the engine and the pistons go up and down, it's wild haha.

[@Bob_Smith19]

As much as I hate Jacob I respect that watch.

[@77cjam]

The world is full of great duo's.... Romeo & Juliet, Torville and Dean, Holmes and Watson, Laurel & Hardy, .......and of course TGV and Mark. Very interesting watches, and love the mention of my my favourite watch, Bill Murray's AP moon phase Scrooged watch ⌚❤️. Great enjoyable and informative video as always sir 👍

[@jonirwin7316]

Another great collaboration! So very interesting. Thank-you T & Marc. ✌

[@alfonsoaguado3453]

Great show and passion for watches you guys have is soothing, makes me feel less of a watch geek, art and tech walking together

[@stevefox8605]

Awesome thanks 👍 Where can we get on the waiting list for the Hugo by Hugo ??😉

[@Grannn]

Hey Tristano & Marc :) I have to say that the Piaget is my favourite on the list, to bad the legibility is somewhat... not there :)) Also, the Clock-Art is a fun concept. I would stick such a piece on my wall, if I had the funds to properly maintain the mechanism :) Take care!

[@mccstuff]

There is enough that is depressing in this world, but that Patek pocket watch made me think that people are brilliant. Seriously, that thing is amazing.

[@gatchaman1146]

Geochron Atlas 2, 4K!!! A MUST HAVE!!

[@mrsir1872]

This was awesome. Keep doing these. I love the rapport between you two!

[@БранимирПетров]

Watching this while wearing my 214 Spaceview assymetric case. Thanks for the inspiration,TGV!

[@daanhout]

Hugo intro!!! love it! Would be great if you could make a hugo compilation video. Following the story so far and talking hugo watches at the same time!

[@vpapadim77]

Spectacular video!!!! Greetings to both of you from 🇬🇷 Greece!!!

[@truebluemiata]

The Hugo. Maybe the best of today's video. Get it on Kickstarter, I'm in! Seriously, the Spaceview 2020 sounds much like the Seiko Kinetic movement introduced in the '90s.

[@rtbarker]

There was a geochron at the children's museum of Indianapolis when i was growing up. I never knew they were a thing outside of a museum but now i want one!

[@lordofhousestewart1821]

Really enjoyable...think i saw an Antiques Roadshow clip with the Patek pocket watch..it was given a high valuation of course.

[@jasonvoorheaves3209]

Hey KGV I'm a teen just getting into the watch world. I was looking to buy a budget skeleton/open face watch, is there any brands you would recommend? I was looking around and saw siezmonts Stiles Motus but I'm unsure of it's quality. I also saw your video on the best skeleton watched under 300 and absolutely love the inverted piepan you showed in the video. Thanks!

[@Every_Day_Adventure]

another fun jaunt down the horological path with TGV and Marc.

[@Alex-px2mb]

I was eating a sandwich and almost choked to death at 1:20 when I could not stop laughing. One of your finest introductions and - having survived - I feel that I have earned a place in line for one of the Hugos. Please let me know when it will become available so that I can dispatch a courier with my cheque. Bravo!

[@tl7535]

You need to replace the map on your wall with a mechanical GEOCHRON. One of the greatest clocks ever made with a really cool history as well. Great video!

[@theurbangentry]

YESSSSSS!!!! Off to ebay 😂😬 Genius idea, thank you. Best regards, TGV

[@clm.menezes]

I clicked the "like" button just for the intro. More Hugo, isn't neve too much Hugo, my dear.

[@peterzwegat5380]

I don‘t know why. But I had a little research at the RM Website. And I have to say: I was really impressed by the mechanism how they wired a cable inside the case of the Rafael Nadal (RM 27-04) which Helds the movement. And I can‘t stop looking at the Pharrell Williams RM 52-05 martian helmet. It‘s the most beautiful dial in watches for me. (Especially the sapphire version). I will never see or held one - but it’s absolutely Art for me.

[@antiquesandlearningtolive4369]

TVG-Mark@LIW = Perfection. These men are so cool. A true European gentleman, a true American gentleman, and an antiqued reptilian gentleman. Love this channel. I have very little money, but made it a point to finance one of Marks real unique design LIW models(ISL-79) as a show of how much I appreciate Mark keeping TUG channel alive and keep TGV employed. :)

[@christopher-ace-azevedo5509]

Simply the best watch videos out there; hilarious and entertaining, and informative. Ok so when can we expect Hugo..lol I suddenly need one.

[@GuyVanderAa]

I’ve said it before, my two favourite watch guys. Sit back, relax and enjoy the show. 😎🥃

[@TomasWatchReviews]

very entertaining. Ok. My take. I will go the opposite way - just 20 USD. Pretty good hearth rate sensor, step tracker, shows weather, battery lasts 2-4 weeks, always on display, kinda cool timeless retro look, accuracy 0s/d, small, thin, comfortable. Amazfit Neo. Crazy when you think about it..

As usual Lads very enjoyable chat. My nomination is the F P Journe / Frances Ford Coppola Collaboration "hand Watch" which just sold at a charity auction for €4.5 million. Its not the money but the watchmaking.

[@69fastfurious]

Thank you TGV for bring out these videos about historical watches you forgot the “Cucu Watch” mate 😆 to be next by the art painting industry! Waiting for a next “historical video” from you guys! All the best for all of you!

Great video! Thanks Hugo. Cool that you gave some time for TGV and Mark to do they stuff also. 😀

[@jamesrussell7432]

I was wondering, realistically, when buying a watch new from an AD with cash, how much discount can you expect? And what price point would it be worthwhile asking at? I cant seem to find any videos on KZbin about this.

[@Blueski43]

Vianney Halter's Deep Space Tourbillon, the Ulysse Nardin Genghis Khan, and the De Bethune DB25 Quetzalcoatl would all be in my top six for craziness ! I also like the Vacheron Constantin Celestia Astronomical Grand Complication 3600.

[@IHaveAnF]

Will never get enough Hugo

[@Messier31NGC224]

I always love your collabs together. Really interesting episode guys!! Not sure why, but I think I need a Geochron in my life now lol

[@timmyhakansson8519]

I've been a subscriber for a couple of years now and I have always appreciated your videos and your opinions and knowledge about horology and watches. Now I recently decided to purchased my first "dream watch" - The Seiko Prospex modern re-interpretation of the 1959 Alpinist in the limited edition, with the Ginza dial (my local watch dealer had been lucky enough to get one) and I'm curious about your take on that model and your opinion of the design and in particular that, in my opinion, very unique dial. Have you had the opportunity to look at one up close?

[@peterkull8354]

I always adored this PP Grand Complication. Makes me a bit proud of mankind IMHO.

[@theurbangentry]

You have great taste and poetically put, it truly is a work of art mankind can be proud od. Thank you Peter, well said. Best regards, TGV

[@markconnolly6484]

You guys are great together. Gotta do more of these.

When are we going to see a Hugo Islander Collaboration Watch? Alligator Leather Strap with a Green Dial, no day/dates, pure dial symmetry, with a Champagne dial! 🦖! Come on Mark!!! Make it happen!!!

[@roberte8564]

Love the Hugo intro. More please. Hey TGV when are you going to Marc's to film?

[@MrBeard-et1yi]

Happy holidays guys! Thanks for the great videos.

[@TheHallberger]

Maybe I'm just nuts but i think what FC is up to with the monolithic is mindboggling and I was also surprised at the asking price, now I know I know its not close to being perfect or even as accurate as it should/could be, but the potential of the Flexus silicon oscillator is to me something to keep an eye on! O&U lads, great show as always!

[@Reclaimtherainbow_Gen9]

Favorite videos right here. AND Hugo is in it too, pure class.
