An awesome watch to pay attention to! I'll definitely take a look at the watch in person when it comes out, and may buy one to start "the path to Exceptional Horology". The finishing on the movement alone makes it an interesting watch. Thank you sir!

I am a newcomer to your channel, even though I am a long timer watch enthusiast. Liked your approach and calm digression about the issues of this date. Thank you much. Subscribed!

You are the true gentleman of You Tube horologists, and I enjoy your videos more than anyones! I always learn something!

Bill, long time viewer. Another good one! Just wanted to take a second to let you know how much I appreciate the channel. Keep them coming.

An interesting video Bill, many thanks for sharing

Bill, that was such an interesting video, thanks so much for sharing, great stuff, cheers 🥂

Wow-really appreciate your podcasts Bill. These watches in this category type like former pocket watch, are at the core of many watch fans like us; all though, just a few years ago it was common to see watch podcasts comments in the vein of why does a watch need a see through case back and a plethora of likewise negative comments. These watch qualities have all ways been the first and for most reason that I am an automatic watch fan to begin with....so, thanks so much for you second to none coverage of the, the core subject matter to real watch fanatics! 😄

Once again many thanks for a great vid, thanks Bill. I have to agree about that tissot for just over $900, very sweet, regardless of it's shortcomings from the more purist viewpoint. It would be a great watch to add to anyone's collection.

Another excellent video. For the under $1,000 price range, that Tissot is very desirable.

Well I just ordered this watch on Jomoshop. It will my 5th Tissot. The only one with a manual wind movement though. I just started collecting this year. My First Tissot is the Seastar 1000 my wife bought for me. It has the powermatic 80. I ordered two more tissot dress watches with the powermatic 80 that had been discontinued once I learned I could buy them new for sub $300. The other Tissot is a quartz I got cheap off of Amazon. It was my first swiss quartz watch. Thanks for your video.

Beautiful Watch

High beat movements have smaller lighter oscillators, and hence are more susceptible to wear, movement, and vibrations due to their lesser momentum. They also need a bigger barrel because of the increased rate of impulse, to retain the running time. What they gain is averaging out the variations because there are more oscillations to average from. Slower rate movements with larger heavier oscillators are less susceptible to wear, movement, and vibrations, and when we are dealing with low volume hand-made pieces, that is an advantage over high beat movements because the slower larger oscillator is easier to adjust to perfection. That is why we see these two diverging philosophies. For exceptional horology movements slower is better, and for the factory produced movements high beat is better. Horses for courses.

You were so kind to thank me for my German pronunciation, so I will give you some tips on French. BTW, as an American of course it's fine to pronounce them any way you want, any French or German is slaying American words!

The B&M watch shows a very balanced, symmetric design I must say. All complications’ indicators seem to be harmonically placed on the dial. Yes, you can find it new for less than $1500 in the gray market. It is a beautiful watch despite the extra room in the case. Perhaps the very reason for the clean design.

Great vid as usual! Wish I could 2 thumbs up on all your vids man!! Keep up the great work!

Another great video jam packed with information. I think it would be fun to add the Tissot to a collection, regardless of the collectors financial status, just because...another point that comes to mind, based on your statement about larger movements (and bigger watches in general) is the (seeming) industry trend to move back to smaller pieces (37mm and lower). Maybe the elite players will buck the trend, or will they sacrifice the low vph (and ultra fine tolerances) to meet customer demand for smaller sized units? Anyway, thanks for the great content, can't wait for the next one.

Great stuff. I have to say that Tissot is a whole lot of watch for the money. I'd buy it.

Just picked this up for 600 and love it.

I absolutely adore the UNITAS movement.

Fascinating!
