In this video I give a quick recap of the first official Urban Gentry event held in NYC at the Bremont Boutique on Madison Avenue. I compare the experience with another event I recently attended at Carnegie Hall for Breguet and why Bremont was much more fun.
I then unbox the latest acquisition for my own collection from a brand I truly adore but have not owned for many years. I discuss what is so historically and technically special about this Hamilton watch, why it could quite possibly be the greatest Hamilton ever made, and a killer bargain at that!

Definitely think a Bremont should enter the collection I love what theyre doing bringing back British made watches. I also love the Hamilton it reminds me of 1950s New York business man and needs a 30s roadster to go with it.

My dad's retirement watch for service from 1963 until 1985 (with inscription) is an AP Quartz. I have always been into watches and this watch has been in my possession since his passing and unworn. Your appreciation of vintage watches, specifically AP has inspired me to remove this watch from its original leather container and display it in by burgeoning collection, which is largely inspired by your channel. Many thanks!

My favorite Hamilton is a white gold 1947 Piping rock. It’s one of those watches that make you smile whenever you are in the mood to wear it. I feel VERY lucky to have it in my collection and hope the next custodian of it will love it as much as I do. Thanks for your You Tube entries, you have cost me a lot of money and time with your recommendations ;-) The watch event at Bremont in NYC sounds like it was a special moment in time. Hope you have more events with your enthusiastic followers. Keep up the good work and God Bless.

But what really caught my attention was your episode on What is a Gentleman. In this age where being common is celebrated and being well mannered is looked down upon. Well it's just nice to see a group of people being bound together by civility and Gentlemanly behavior. Keep up the good work and I look forward your next video and event. Chow from Texas!

What a nice feel to slip a vintage inscribed gold cased Hamilton on the wrist. What a coincident, TGV, just this morning going through my stash and pulled out a similar Hamilton (10kt black dial sub seconds slender 34m domed not sure of mvmnt). Gentleman back then cherished these, in that it is near mint. Inscribed: Presented to Vincent W Norris by Beechnut Life Savers Inc 25 Years Service 1962. Found it at a garage sale some ten years ago for $80, now I have to research it. Have occasionally worn it, but recently promised it to my lovely wife. Best Regards, JP

Do you ever reflect upon how far you’ve come in 4 years (or thereabouts) and how many people you’ve inspired to start their own journey into the world of horology?

After your review of the Thinomatic I went to visit my parents. At their home they have many family heirlooms and antiques, one of which was the watch my grandfather was given for 25 years service by his employer. I had remembered the watch and intended to inspect it while visiting; I had a suspicion it may be an Hamilton. Sure enough, Hamilton Thinomatic in a 14k gold case. It has the commemorative engraving on the back and is dated 1966. The interesting thing about it is that at the top of the face where the Hamilton branding normally would be, there is the Goodyear logo (Mercury's winged foot), as that is the company where he had worked. The Hamilton name is below the hands right above "Thin o matic." My parents said it was taken to a local jeweler many years ago who repaired it. It still works; you can hear the pendulum in the movement as you move the watch. It is now a cherished part of my collection, as my parents happily passed it on to me. Thanks for your videos, they have more meaning than just horological hobbying.

Congratulations on a very successful first ever Gentry get together 👍 I do hope I will get to attend one someday. That Hamilton is gorgeous, a bit too small for my seven and a half inch wrist though 😢 Cheers for the vid Tristano. Oh have you any further update on when we can enter that Tudor GMT competition? I’m salivating at the thoughts of it 🤤🤤🤤

I've been looking for the wonderful link between my morning cup of coffee and looking at the watch on my wrist. In other words, the theory of everything.

Impeccable selection my friend. Suits you to a T. Wasn't aware that this range had a micro-rotor, sleeper for sure. Now you need a bumper! HA

I just bought the Seiko SNKK27 which shows up in this video! Chuffed indeed I am to see it here! It's my first mechanical watch and it's primarily because of TGV and The Urban Gentry channel don't you know. Chalk up another watch aficionado.

I have the same Hamilton design, but manual wind version. Looks much smaller on my wrist, but def good looking watch. Pairs well with an alligator or lizard strap.

Was recently gifted my uncle's Ventura for graduating college and getting a job. He passed away tragically a few years ago. It was the first watch he bought with his own money. Will cherish it forever.
