I normally rank all Nico's suits hublot level. HOWEVER he has listened to his fans, and fixed his sleeves. Therefore, i put them in the "would buy" category.

Everyone ready for another year of Nico crapping on Grand Seiko?

I was gifted a Seiko watch by my dad when I was 13 for Christmas- I was terribly sick in the hospital at the time. 15 years later and this thing is still pristine on the face and I've only had to replace a couple pins. I may buy one or two more watches in my lifetime, but this watch will always be my favorite.

I'll defend Orient as a truly underrated watch company. They have some beautiful, textured dial designs over there. Seiko is really good, too.

Longines have definitely earned their place in the class tier. The releases they have made over the past couple of years at the price point has been unmatched by any other brand in regards to quality, design and phenomenal value for money.

"One watch doesn't make a good watch brand." *still ranks AP in class*

CASIO in the God tier, well deserved imo, One of the most beautiful watch making company in the world.

Love Tissot timepieces, particularly the heritage line--and although I'm not a fan of the current line of PRC 200 Chronographs, the older two-tone automatic editions still look and feel amazing.

@5:12 Nico: "One Watch Doesn't make a brand!" Also Nico: "The Royal Oak is amazing beautiful watch" LOL.

“Facts dont care about your feeling” -Nico Leonard

Nico glad you put Seiko in Would Buy. I'm poor and I love watches and I love Japanese technology and I admire the pride they put into their work. My first watch with a movement was a Seiko, I started collecting Seiko from 60$ to 800$, and I'm having a lot of fun doing it. I've been saving for a Presage Spb417. Hopefully one day I'll be able to add my dream watch the Prospex GMT spring drive titanium SNR035 Seiko. Nico, you inspire me.

Im glad someone finally appreciates Tag. They’ve done everything young watch enthusiasts have been asking the industry to do.

Zenith Defy’s have looked kind of like Hublot for the past 15 years. This isn’t new. But with Zenith everything is in-house and they’re pushing the limits of what mechanical chronographs can do. I think they’re a great brand that has a nice mix of traditional looking and more avant garde designs in their watch lineup. Something for everyone.

Hamilton and Oris should be in the would buy category and should be more recognized. Hamilton for listening to their customers and Oris for crafting their own movements as an independent watch company making new designs.

The only watch I own is a Tissot PRX with a blue dial, and honestly, it's been the right mix of class and casual without breaking the bank (not to mention it was a birthday gift from my grandfather, something I will treasure literally forever.)

I bought a Tissot heritage 1938 COSC matte salmon dial a week ago (Nov. 2023). Well, it has become my everyday watch now. I have owned Citizen, Bulova and Seiko watches. This is my first Swiss-made watch and it is a COSC one. I can tell about its accuracy that it is a great one. Accuracy of a watch matters to me and this one has an accuracy of around -2 seconds/24hrs. This is great for a mechanical watch.

26:48 : "If a Rolex is sold, Rolex makes money". Definitely the God Tier moment of this year's ranking.

The most tangible new thing Seiko has done lately is up their prices considerably. They deserve a sub category called 'would buy (second hand)'.

Love all your opinions and reviews. No bullshit straight to the point. Keep up the good work Nico

I will say, I saw the Bulova Jet Sky and thought that was pretty great. High accuracy quartz movement, and the dials look nice at the price point.

Was just waiting for your Christopher Ward placement and totally agree with your first placement. They are class. They are without question the improving the most and they have dropped some absolute masterpieces the last few years and their Twelve seems like one of the most hyped watches this year

So glad to finally see Frederique Constant on this list. They have been doing some incredibly innovative things over the past few years and IMO they are one of the most underrated watch brands. I also love my FC Worldtimer 👌

I’ve just rewatched this video to recall nico’s general view on seiko, and he shows the very watch I’ve just bought, just to scratch the itch while I’m saving for a rolex 😂❤️ 30 percent below retail too even more value for money.

I need your opinion, especialy from you, Teddy. I want to get started with collecting watches and i am looking at 4 watches specificly. My overall budget is about 1000€ and i am looking for a dresswatch, a watch that is just fun to look at, an everyday watch and lastly a standout piece for those " special" days. So, the watches I picked out are: 1. Dresswatch: Casio timeless collection LTP-B150L-7B1 2. Funwatch Mr Jones " beam me up" 3. Everyday watch Casio timeless collection MTP-B145D-2A1V 4. Standout piece Ciga design z-series With the orange strap I would pay around 800€ for those four. Do u guys have any succestions or things i should be looking out for? I am especialy concerned about the reputation ciga design has. Is that something I should be worried about? Thx for your help in advance :)

C’mon Nico… Breitling is being underrated… 😑 Their boutique experience is top tier, and with the broader use of their B01 movement, they’ve introduced exciting line updates to the Navitimer, Chronospace and SuperOcean (new Avenger line coming 1 Nov). AND they continue to offer a broader range of dial sizes including bigger sizes for big & tall blokes like me 👊🏻👌🏻👍🏻

As a newcomer to watch collecting, and falling in love with Christopher Ward a couple of years ago, to their watches being the most prevalent brand in my stash - just seeing them recognised among all these giants bought me some joy, to see them do so well made me smile, cheers Nico.

So glad Tag Heuer is in class now. My dad gave me his F1 Wah1110. Been liking the look and it's not too flashy.

I like that you included CW I got the Twelve TI recently nebula purple, and I had more questions from non-watch enthusiast then about the RE 😁. Never mind that I like it more, very aware different styles 🤣

Bell & Ross have beautiful and unique designs. Their BR03 is surprisingly comfortable aswell. I think they are underrated.

I would love to see Nico take on more micro brands for these tier lists. There’s some great stuff out there

I watched this wearing my Bell & Ross BR03-92 which I've owned for 6 years. Whilst it does have a basic movement inside you can't deny they went all out on design in times when everyone else was being quite conservative and gave maintained that identity for years. If everything failed and I could only keep one watch only it might have to be this one

loved this video! great job!!

The seagull 1963 he got is a really cool watch. They bought the movement from Swiss company Venus way back in the day and originally made the watches for the Chinese airforce. It’s the most affordable mechanical chronograph you can buy. When it requires serviced the cost is typically more than buying a new one, so it’s technically a disposable item.

We need an FP Journe tell all video now 😮

As a TAG Heuer fan I love they’re receiving the recognition they deserve. They have been doing bits these last 2 years

Citizen should be reconsidered. My dad and I have owned probably 30 or so Citizen Eco Drives, one of them the first watch he ever purchased and its still running on the same capacitor after 30 years bulletproof technology and quality watches at a good price. I would say for the $ hands down best timekeeping accuracy that rivals and out performs many very expensive watches.

Sad to see A. Lange & Sohne so low on the tier list

Not to mention Seikos are so modular, so if you can't afford a nice watch, you can always make it using Seiko parts ❤

Wow, that was a lot of fun. Great to learn about all these watch brands. I found a Timex in a field one day when I was 7, and loved watches ever since. Timex and Rolex are my faves, they rhyme! 😀

Wow, what a show! Exciting and informative, Nico is a dynamo!

absolutely love Longines from last year, and this year with their new Conquest & Hydroconquest, the brand looks even better. Nice job for Longines

Love this segment Nico… Great to see Christopher Wards efforts shine through!!

Nico thank you for this video. Looking to buy my first luxury watch in the next few days and this video was a blessing of confirmation in my decision.

Nico, I think your ranking is spot on, and so glad you ranked Christopher Ward. Breguet however will remain on my achievable grail list, I know what you mean with your analysis on them, but I have studied the history of Breguet for years and the Marie-Antoinette story.......well it's in another league of watch history, and I have to put them on the would buy list, but as you remind us, your the expert I'm just an enthusiast, but you have that one wrong 😉 Keep up the good work, you make the watch enthusiast collector scene good crack.

Nice to see Zodiac get a spot on the list. Currently rocking my ZO9595, and it’s a great watch that keeps amazing time!

WTF Nico ??? Omega deserve a permanent spot in the class category. Only in 2023, they released the AT shades and the seamaster summer blue collection.

The amount of classic casio watches I’ve seen recently it’s like the 80s all over again but for £40 you can get a classic metal strap Casio or a cheap dress watch and I put it largely down to you doing gods work lol

Tissot Seastar. Great looking and a spec beast. Also bulova came out with new gmt devil divers. Very nice.

I have just bought a Tudor watch and I am so happy with it. It works perfect and looks elegant. Also because of your good talks of Tudor

My first watch was a Sekonda and I’ve owned it for 15years. It’s still in my collection and I still get it out every now and then just to change up my wrist. Would be interesting to hear you opinions on them as a brand

Putting Jaquet Droz next to Hublot is seriously making me question Nico’s mental capabilities. Jaquet Droz is on the same level as MB&F, I mean having an entire singing bird inside a watch is pretty class.

Ok where is my Apple Watch, Nico??!! LOL kidding aside, thank you for making me feel good each year by putting my Black Bay and Tudor and my Seiko Baby Tuna up top. Merry Christmas and cheers boys!

Ranked LV higher than Bvlgari and Breitling. Bro is certainly a watch expert.

Hamilton... Aside from bringing the price up, what did Hamilton do so wrong? Seems to me it was well loved as always.

I bought a Baume et Mercier this year and I LOVE it. Saphire dial, Riveria. BEAUTIFUL WATCH. Affordable. very comfortable. I wish they were more popular and got more respect. They have a new skeletonized saphire dial dress watch..... I'll probably get it at some point in 2024. They defiantly need more love

I know this is just opinions, but as a fledgling "watch guy" I'm curious what you dislike about Bulova. A Bulova partial skeleton automatic is what caught my eye and brought me into the hobby. It's still my favorite watch to this day.

Very happy to see Seiko getting that praise.

So what bad things did François-Paul Journe do?

Movado didn't even make the mention 😂

just bought my third tag heuer and i love it, the new autavia fly back and monaco are incredible

Finally the annual tear list! This is what I have been waiting for - so much better than your Ferrari bragging videos.

I'm glad to see Seiko included. A Seiko 5 with an Arabic dial is my daily watch, I'm still early on in my watch journey though but I love this watch.

Outstanding. Even if you don’t agree, he’s got logic behind each decision. And it’s a class lesson on watch brands. All enthusiasts should watch

Would be cool to a tier list ranking within the tier list itself and explain why! Love the videos though!

Still find it funny that even after Nico put it's personal in the video title, they still treat it as it's a fact lmao. 😂

Anyone else curious what FP Journe actually did ?

Oris starts building watches with their own in-house complication -- which they have expanded upon several times. I'm not sure why they're going down instead of up in this list. I think they're pretty cool.

I am stuck between Breitling and Tudor Which do you prefer as a watch expert ?

I think the only brand that truly deserves going up another category is Longines. Longines is definitely class in my opinion. So many different new releases this year just like previous years. They are almost single handedly competing with other brands by having original deign, high quality watches that are the best alternatives, to the more expensive watches they are competing with. Dress watches, GMT, Chronograph, pilot watch, dive watch. You name it, they have it.

Thousands of such experts can now be found on KZfaq 😂

Such a shame A Longe isn’t as public, I love their watches but what Nico says is true and while it hurt to see it out in the shit tier it makes sense

I'm wearing my Grand Seiko Spring Drive today, so it does exactly that... tells the time. Unlike my Rolex GMT2 which is 2 seconds slow 😂

I've owned many brands, all under $2000. By far the best watch I've ever owned was a Mido Ocean Star Tribute. A more expensive Zodiac felt like a toy in comparison.

I really want to get my hands on the Christopher Ward Twelve, looks solid

what about other brands like Breva,Bovet,Vulcain,Maurice Lacroix,Rado,Baltic,Alpina,Aviator,Epos,Gevril,Mido,Bomberg,Movado ?

I'm a big fan of Carl F. Bucherer's lines. I have a Manero and love it. Love to hear Nico's opinion on them. I don't think I've seen him even mention them.

Love my Tag watches, glad he gave it some positive feedback in this rate.

Agree on god tier. Casio G-Shocks never disappoint and will never let you down!

What do you think about Pequignet? I really love the history of that brand, and I LOVE the look of their watch and their movement. But I also feel like they are not doing much at the moment? I bought myself a Royale Manuelle, as I love supporting smaller and more "exotic" brands with a rich history (and there is sort of a connexion between the brand and my family). I love everything about it. It looks gorgeous, the movement is amazing, but I wish more people knew about it

Hello nico I was wondering what do you think of depth charge watches ?

Rado? They’re over 100 years old, yes they’re now owned by Swatch, but would be interesting to see their ranking on the list.

I agree with you on LV and Tag Heuer, their new management made them proper and not a joke

People who want to know what happened to the H***** you’ve purchased 👇

I bought my 3rd Omega yesterday. Looks way better than my Rolexes to me.

Nico - Love your channel, however, as a Breitling fan I think they deserve more than Meh..they make great automatics with a great selection of designs keeping things a bit fresher than others. Also glad to see Tag making some moves as I never understood why they are not seen as a good watch brand but I think they have some great pieces as well.

Great to see Christopher Ward finally making some waves!

Hey Nico, I’ve just recently bought the Hamilton Khaki Field Expedition 41mm, and really impressed with it, lovely watch! Just curious, but what made you say Hamilton fell off a cliff? Thanks 😊

I own an omega and a bell & Ross so im biased but i think both are class

Wasn’t expecting you to put Tag Heuer in class category 👏

Christopher Ward is here, bravo!! Just after few weeks of wearing CW Twelve I was stopped four times by complete strangers who asked me about this watch. Only one knew about the brand. Genuinly beautiful watch, they only need to step up the game with movements. I know it’s a good feeling buying Rolex, Omega, Tudor or AP but when you discover something new feeling is better 10 times. Cheers watch freaks, keep spreading our world!

Hi. Do you recommend the iwc mark xx or Tudor black bay burgundy?

@Niko I own several Rado watches. May I know your opinion on Rado watches and why they are not in your list? I'm just curious. This is my first time watching your video. Thanks!

Long as Casio is in God Tier. We good to go

Would love to hear Nico's oppinion on Certina

I was so happy to watch Nico's new expensive car break down, I watched the video twice.

Agree on most of them...but you really think LV is better then Breitling....really bro..? Nope

5:30 - one watch does not a good brand make, but AP is in class?

This year you did not forgot about Seiko, but you dropped Rado! One of my favourite brands, hope it will make at least the Meh category for you. Love Nico from Italy 😘

“One watch doesn’t make a good watch brand.” Proceeds to put AP at the top.
