Timex X Heuer got me Questioning Everything.

When I saw the Heuer 60th anniversary watch, I knew it was special, but when I saw the new Timex Marlin Chrono, I had a double take...I don't even know what to think anymore, watch the video for some creamy watch shots and my convoluted thoughts on watch PERFECTION.

Timex has honestly been killing it lately with this, the world timer, the mk1s and expedition norths, and the tonneau.

[@mrpotatoooooo]

You know, I saw both the Timex and Tag a while ago. The Timex isn’t something I’d normally go for with it being a quartz homage. But when I saw the Tag, I realized I’m not willing to put down Speedmaster money for it. Nothing wrong with it; clearly would’ve been a good investment. But I’d sooner buy a Speedmaster. Now this video has made me reconsider the Timex. Yes it’s quartz, but I might just be entering my idgaf phase.

[@WatchCrunchOfficial]

Yeah it's so much fun for pocket change compared to those other examples... I'll probably wear it, and give it to one of my non watch friends in the hopes of converting them 😄

[@1968gadgetyo]

Why not consider the Fortis B-42 Novanaut. It's another REAL space watch. If have have extra change, that's the space watch I'll get. The moment is space tested, and is NOT hand wound. And I do get tired of all the Speedmaster look a like.

Another legendary affordable watch is the field CWC G10. I just picked mine up (currently sold out), and it has almost killed all the other watches for me. Hesalite glass, 36mm case x 10.5mm thick, fixed lugs, super accurate, issued to British Army for like 30 years... all for £279...Charming little beauty . I love it

I was lucky enough to get this Heuer 60th anniversary model. It first came out in Jan but I must have slept on it I didn’t want it till I saw it in March, by that time it had long sold out, but I had to pay the premium for it. Still happy I grabbed it. As these are hard to find on the secondary market. Which I assume that the people who do have it , are true watch enthusiasts and like myself glad I have it in the collection.

[@CrispyFrenFry]

Great video! I genuinely appreciate your openness to understanding why homage watches aren’t necessarily a bad thing considering it’s simply a symptom of commercialized consumerism. The watch world is not unique in this way, especially when we expand our perspectives to take into account how “homage” designers or manufacturers make luxury items attainable to the mass market. These are certainly not the same quality as the true artisanal luxury watches but most of us can’t afford time pieces of limited quantities: after all, the US middle class is shrinking so the number of people who can afford such products are limited to financially well-off or the financial irresponsible.

[@jeanlefranc3817]

Call it watch fatigue or sanity taking over in reaction to luxury watch prices increases, but I now consider spending multiple thousands of euros (say more than 2) on a watch I might wear 3 times in a month not a sensible behavior. Sure, I enjoy wearing my Grand Seiko to the office and my gilt dial BlackBay 58 keeps a special place in my heart, but receiving the most enthusiastic comments for a 61€ Mecaquartz vintage Patek Pagani homage (thanks Jody btw) made me reconsider a couple of things And having so much fun rocking my big boy blue dial Casio Duro or my 1990s RJOQ56 YEMA Superman Worldtime (no less 😉) drove me to skip the very good looking Tissot heritage 1938 and pick a sector salmon dial with a touch of Breguet numerals €137 Merkur, which nicely scratches that 1930s itch without the gilt. I guess that Timex would do the same.

I own the 160th anniversary which is the same as this Tag Heuer but all silver dial and sub dials. My only annoyance is that the box sapphire crystal’s rim around the edges covers the second markers around the dial which can only be appreciated while looking at an angle. I wish I could get a plexiglass custom made and replace the sapphire glass. That would be perfect. Other than that these models are excellent quality, perfect size, amazing movement very well finished.

MORE HEUER, LESS TAG!!! 🤟🏻 If I had to choose a Carrera, I would probably go for the 90s reissue with the Lemania 1873. Although, in my opinion, the Carrera 60th anniversary is the most beautiful and successful combination of tradition and modernity ever.

[@DARTHKNOWS76]

I look at it this way , the Timex, Seiko watches are a great buy for sub $700. they are just great everyday watches. Then the more expensive watches like the TG, you wear them for special occasions or if meeting new big clients or more important meetings. same with suits and shoes your not gonna rock a 5 K bespoke suit from London for a regular Tuesday at work and lunch at BJ's

[@kombo731]

Max: "I'm starting to think there is no such thing as a perfect watch." World: "Fresh take. Thanks." That aside, all modern watches are derivative of something that came before. IMO, we're better off asking the question, "Considering all the things important to me right now, do I like this watch in front of me right now?" For me, my response to a Timex is often no, but often yes. This Marlin chrono is a yes for me. So is the Carrera chrono.

[@BEYSeamaster1]

Heuer is a very expensive $800 - $1000 watch. Timex made unbelievable strides in design and quality in the last decade. I love them.

[@TrackCivic]

"A nice vintage 2447 will set you back 3 times that." Wrong, only the panda SN and reverse panda NS (and their tachy siblings SNT/NST) will. 7k USD for non pandas is where the market floats. Also good luck even trying to get a 2447SN, they are so rarely on market you'd be lucky to see one available (regardless of condition) once every couple years.

[@Bugster987]

The 160th Anniversary watch from a few years ago but with black dials. Nice.

[@ottowilliamhalim4116]

I agree the Timex get positive nod given that the price difference. But one thing that Heuer collector almost cannot find in other chronograph I think is the lugs. Carrera lugs are just perfect for the case. IMHO.

The Heuer is a very lovely watch and for me as a technical guy the movement looks superb. The Timex is nice, but the date window screws up proports to a point I feel triggered badly… Anyway I have to give it a try, as I love plexi domes.

[@benjaminvis]

I honestly don't think that if you love the look of this Heuer the Timex is going to please you as much. The Timex dial is a bit messy and lacklustre and the proportions are off. There is no sense to comparing a watch of thousands to the Timex, even if the Heuer is comfortably overpriced. The fact for me is that I left Tag Heuer to the side for a long time. Considering their pricing I will continue doing so. But recently this and another release have been undeniably excellent examples of designs. What strikes me in the footage in this video is that the quality of the Heuer can be spotted in the more distant shots as well. It really is a very good watch, and that's coming from someone who's not into its vintage forebear, nor the brand, nor chronographs

[@robynsjp]

3 Heuers here. But all 1960s, because these were my childhood years.

[@SkywalkerPMs]

I went with the Dan Henry 1962. Seiko Meca-quartz, double dome ar glass, matte white dial. Looks way more expensive than $250.

[@uhohDavinci]

Something about that Timex has a bit more character. Maybe its the way it looks on the bracelet, maybe its the text on the dial that make the Tag look stale in comparison. Definitely an awesome semi-vintage looking piece for a reasonable price.

[@sstanforddpt]

I was down until I saw the art deco numbers at 3, 9, and 12. And though nice, the subdials look a little off in their sizing. Looks a little squint-y. But for the price whatever. Currently looking hard at the Tag Glassbox or a Zenith. We'll see

[@lc4n333]

I only started watch collecting a couple months ago. I jumped right into the vintages (I know it is a minefield but I'm a sucker for vintage stuff). Vintage watches just look and feel different to modern ones so hearing the complaint about smaller size in vintage watch but wanting a vintage look because of history just made me scratch my head. This demand creates a vintage inspired watch that try too hard to be vintage. It will never be. To be happy one should accept the smaller vintage size and thus it will be a perfect watch for that desire.

[@mrCoffelino]

its a waiste these beautifull quartz chronos use that mechanism with that 24 hour sub dial could be used for better purposes, hour counter, date, radial date all brands have nice designs proportions but that 24 hour thing just kills it for me

Well Carrera is stylish, but I can't get rid of the thought that a chronograph without tachymeter make no sense to me. So I guess I would go for the quartz Timex with design that make sense to me, if the choise was only betweens those. Good thing that I'm not on the market for a chronograph. 😁

[@porscheoscar]

I can't take a watch seriously with a reflective crystal unless it's a plastic swatch. Sorry Timex. From across the room you see that reflection and you know it's a cheapo. Tag need to do a Grand Seiko and officially create a separately branded line in this case a vintage line with only Heuer branding at price points that compete with Longines. Everyone is just inexplicably ceding the sub $4k vintage tool watch ground to Longines and they are killing it for lack of competition in the vintage brand realm. I would have thought at current insane 8% interest rate era and shrinking budgets that more brands wouldn't be mimicking Longines efforts to deliver maximum value while delivering more heritage than Rolex and Tudor. An $8k Heuer isn't it. You're reducing the pool of customers to a fraction of the possible Enthusiasts.

[@nerychristian]

The type of customer who is buying a Timex watch doesn't care about a reflective crystal. Sure, they could improve the watch, but it would increase the price.

[@porscheoscar]

@@nerychristian agreed. But if pagani and Chinese brands can add a sapphire crystal with very little reflection, toss in ceramic bezels and very well finished cases for $80 it really makes $200 watches with none of the above a purchase based solely on brand recognition. And sorry but Timex is at the end of the day the bottom rung of the watch world without the cool factor of Casio. Timex need to out deliver the Chinese brands if they're also going manufacture in China.

@@porscheoscar Yeah, but the Timex watch is a chronograph. Not sure how many chronographs you can find for less money.

[@Yserian]

Every time I see video of chronograph, stop watch are always running. But that won't be the case most of the time. Big stop watch second hand will be stuck in middle of the watch face through logo and stuff and the fact that noone usually shows it just prove that they are bothered by it as well. That's my grape with chronographs. I like them but I would prefer central second hand to show a time and the small seconds to actually show the stop watch seconds.
