I work at an office job, and whenever we do one of those “ice breakers” when we get a new team member, sometime’s they will ask everyone in the room, “what’s your biggest pet peeve?” My answer is always, “too many TLA’s”. Without fail, someone will ask, “what’s a TLA” in which I reply, “three letter acronyms”. It always gets a laugh, because if you’ve ever worked at a tech company they all use WAY too many TLAs.

I love Nivada Grenchen- I have on pre-order the CHRONOKING MECAQUARTZ BLACK. I think my tastes and desire for more quality watches started after I got through my Seiko and microbrand phase, and got my first Marathon GSAR, and the Squale 1521. Spending 21 years in the Army and deploying all over the world I understand having solid, reliable and dependable equipment is important. I have dealt with equipment from the lowest bidder forever and will not due that anymore. I recently just picked up one of my first true grail watches the Tudor Pelagos FXD, had I had this while on active duty it would have definitely been worn and be my tool watch of choice. My tastes have refined and grown over time, large in part to your channel, which caused me to start my own lol. Thanks TGV keep up the great work as always. Nice to always see what I can aspire to become.

@Theo-ul8qm4 ай бұрын
Love FC designs, but I must admit, I am a little bit surprised by their success. The reason I say this is because, while 31 in-house calibres is impressive, the calibre in the moonphase in the video, along with many others, are ETA-based and not finished to a very high standard. Now, this is not a criticism, because they are obviously trying to keep the selling price at a certain level. But I would've thought that someone who is attracted to such classic designs as FC offers would also want a high degree of movement finish in their watch, which FC does not offer. However, it seems that hasn't been a hindrance to their success. Kudos to them! P. S. That Nivada Grenchen is very beautiful! Feels like a bit of a disservice to it to compare it to the PRX. Design-wise, it's far ahead in my opinion. And the meteorote dial is just the cherry on top. I would definitely pay triple the price of a PRX for it. It's easily 3 times the watch.

Exquisite as always TGV; my only complain with Frederique Constant applies to most other brands, I love dress watches but they barely exist with a screw down crown and 100m water resistance, as a physician I wash my hands like 80 times a day, and "splashed" my watches get, and pull-push crowns don't inspire confidence even if it says 100m, just because I know how violent we can be when scrubbing and taking off gloves and etc. Bottom line I also find it unacceptable that thousands of dollars don't buy such a thing and yet your good friend Marc puts out 11mm thick watches for a couple hundred bucks with such specs.

Thomaso, thank you for introducing me to Frederique Constant and Nivada. Especially from the value collector POV. Seems since JLC increased its prices by 40% on the same models (i.e. no horology enhancements) about 2 years ago, Rolex, AP, and Patek are raising prices to the stratosphere (and unobtainium) because they can. Seems they don't want to make sports steel tool watches for everyday use.

I bought myself an FC Highlife last month for my birthday - it's the same blue as that Moonphase - and absolutely love it. The integrated bracelet has a quick release to add a rubber strap so it's quite versatile and not 100% married to the bracelet. It's quite thin and wears smaller than the size, and is definitely a new favorite of mine! I also love a great meteorite dial, but like them to be one of the strap monsters in my collection.
