Roue TPS: Phenomenal Value from the '60s

In today’s video, I would like to present the Roue TPS, a watch inspired by racing in the 1960s and the chronographs of this era. With a price of only $290, this is one of the best value watches currently available from any brand.

Beautiful looking dial, the depth, the colour combo, top notch budget chronograph!
After seeing this model I’ll definitely have to put this on my stocking stuffer list. I’ve been a fan of Roue’s entry into the budget chronograph market, the Dryden, Dan Henry line of Chronograph’s are all great choices but this is razor sharp especially in that blue w/ yellow accent colours. Thanks so much for the video! Well done !

Wow, really tempted by this, looks even better in video than in photos. You can tell that the owner is a lover of great design, he's really created something special. I have a Roue SSD, which is a great little watch, may well be adding this to my collection, too. Great review as usual, thanks.

Wow. These are the fantastic micro brands I follow you for

I have one of these watches arriving today! Can’t wait to see it live. Your video confirmed I made a great choice! Thanks, Armand!

Thank you for the unique content. Having many mechanical watches, the starting, winding and setting of said at times becomes tedious, so I am intrigued with meca quartz and this one is a beauty and seems like great value.

Just found your account tonight and wanted to say thanks for some great content and very nicely made and narrated videos/reviews. Excellent 👌

I enjoyed this video and your article on Heuer.

This! I'm so sick of waiting for the major brands to make pieces like this. You'll notice when they do, they cost over $3000 and/or are too large. Micro brands just get on with it and do it for a fraction of the cost. Fantastic review!

Sorry what's the other watch/brand named after the Zodiac Grand Rally? I'd like to check it out. This watch is amazingly beautiful, that 60's racing aesthetics are a killer.

Thanks for the review, i made my decision to buy this watch finally. Now i am waiting for the watch arrive in couple of days.

The dial is certainly eye-catching. Hopefully, they will come up with a sapphire crystal on a larger dial.

Great review, fully agree- beautiful!

Got a Dan Henry 1964 evil panda but I leant it to my wife and she's still wearing it since it looks crazy good on her... (that beads of rice bracelet!). So I got me a Casio Edifice 40 mm panda instead. Vintage brown rally strap on it, it looks the part for very few $$.
I was a full auto/mec watch guy once, but quartz in my collection proved to be so convenient. Very tempted by this Roue now. Excellent review sir. With love from Belgium ;-)

I seriously consider this watch when there was just announced about a week or two ago. I really like the design. The choices of colors are really nice as well. The person you have drew me in first, but I have to admit I do still like the panda version a bit more. Perhaps it's because it is more versatile and something about the ways executed looks right to me. I like the brand, and watching your video really has turned me on to getting the CHR model with you reviewed quite a while ago. I actually purchased the Watch twice. Once in a silver dial panda, and the second time in Reverse panda with the dark gray subdials. The CHR one and CHR three respectively. As I was saying, I was tempted to get this new chronograph, but, I still I have already have maybe too many chronograph. I have a Hamilton intra Matic Auto coronagraph in the newer reverse blue Panda dial. And, I have a Seiko Giugiaro reissue chronograph that I custom modified. Additionally, I have a HKED Bundeswehr Chronograph on preorder.
Roue certainly is one of the best value affordable racing chronograph to get. And I really like the styling. And I really like Dan Henry's offerings. In particular, I had really like the 1962 which I owned in the panda version which is basically like the UG Nina Rindt compax chronograph homage. I also think EMG has some very reasonably affordable racing chronograph options as well. And, Seiko, Orient, and Citizen both offer pretty nice quartz space racing chronograph options as well

Received as Christmas gift from wife a TPS 3 as is featured in the video review. I am over the top ecstatic with this watch! Review is spot on, the TPS exudes class and sophistication, is truly a watch that could compete with offerings 10 times its price.

Why is it so hard to find throwbacks like these with this case and bright colors like the actual racing watches from the 70s in a reasonable price range? I feel like a lot of big brands could make something very similar with a mecha quartz and the bold detailing and they would sell like crazy in the 150-300$ range

This is the 3rd Meca-quartz watch I've liked this year. Undone Urban Vintage and the unsuccessful Comet on Kickstarter. I wonder how they compare.
