Anson Belt & Buckle: Step up your belt game — get 2 bonus pieces FREE with the Box Set at http://ansonbelt.com/jtwautomatic Thinking about buying your first automatic watch? Watch this first. After collecting watches for more than 8 years and reviewing hundreds of automatic watches on this channel, I've learned that there are several things most beginners don't discover until after they buy one. In this video, I cover 5 important things you should know before buying an automatic watch, including: ✔ Why automatic watches stop running ✔ How often you'll need to set the time ✔ The reality of watch servicing and maintenance ✔ Why not all automatic watch movements are created equal ✔ Common mistakes beginners make when buying mechanical watches ✔ Whether an automatic watch is actually better than a quartz watch Automatic watches are fascinating pieces of mechanical engineering, but they also come with quirks, costs, and inconveniences that every buyer should understand before spending their money. Whether you're considering your first Seiko, Citizen, Orient, microbrand watch, Swiss automatic, or affordable mechanical watch, this guide will help you make a more informed decision. What was the biggest surprise you discovered after buying your first automatic watch? Let me know in the comments. 0:00 5 Things to know 0:40 1. Get used to setting the time 2:15 2. Auto doesn't Equal Good 5:07 3. Service Costs money 7:34 4. Complications are complicated 8:40 5.

Filippo Loretti has released an $850 tourbillon watch—and on paper, it looks almost unbelievable. A natural stone dial, a highly visible tourbillon movement, and a price point far below what this complication traditionally costs. GET THE WATCH: https://filippoloretiwatches.com/pages/celestial-tourbillon-atelier-loreti But tourbillons under $1,000 are no longer new. Chinese manufacturers have been producing budget tourbillon watches for years, and the value proposition alone isn’t enough to make this release stand out. What does stand out is Filippo Loretti’s claimed connection to Japanese movement maker Miyota. In this review, I take a closer look at what that actually means—and whether the marketing matches the reality of the movement inside the watch. I break down: The design and finishing of the Filippo Loretti tourbillon The stone dial options and overall presentation The reality of sub-$1,000 tourbillon watches The controversial Miyota connection claim What we can (and can’t) determine about the movement inside Performance, accuracy, power reserve, and real-world testing results Whether this watch is actually worth buying This is a hands-on review of the Filippo Loretti tourbillon, with a focus on both the value proposition and the marketing claims surrounding the movement. 0:00 A Filippo Loreti Tourbillion?? 1:24 Surprisingly good design 4:01 What is a Tourbillion? 6:46 The Miyota Question 11:32 But is it actually good? 14:00 Filippo Loreti Redeemed?

Yema is one of the few affordable watch brands actively trying to bring watchmaking back to France — with French assembly, local manufacturing partnerships, and even genuine in-house mechanical movements. In this video, I compare two very similar integrated bracelet sports watches from Yema that sit at very different price points: Yema Wristmaster Slim Small Seconds – $2,490 Yema Urban Traveler – $1,090 Available from: https://yema.com Both watches share a similar Gerald Genta-inspired integrated sports watch design, but the differences go far beyond price alone. The Wristmaster Slim Small Seconds features Yema’s ultra-thin CMM.20 micro-rotor manufacture movement with a 70 hour power reserve, while the Urban Traveler uses the reliable Swiss Sellita SW200 automatic movement. In this review I cover: Yema’s push toward French watchmaking and local production The CMM.20 in-house micro rotor movement Wristmaster vs Urban Traveler differences Bracelet comfort and clasp design Dial and finishing quality Whether the premium Wristmaster is worth the extra money How these compare to watches like the Tissot PRX Which Yema makes the better value If you’re interested in integrated bracelet sports watches, French watches, micro rotor movements, or alternatives to the PRX, this comparison should help you decide which Yema is right for you. #Yema #FrenchWatches #Wristmaster #IntegratedBracelet #MicroRotor #LuxuryWatches #AffordableWatches #TissotPRX #WatchReview #JustTheWatch
