Watch Complications Explained | From Date Windows to Minute Repeaters

The word complication is one that has many negative connotations as it typically represents a time of difficulty, however, in the world of watches, this word is an indicator of excellence.

In this video, we are going to be looking at complications of watches, what they are, the different types, and how they impact the price of a watch.

Using a tachymeter:

Hey everyone, I hope this was helpful. As there are many complications in the watch world, please let me know if there are others that I may have perhaps forgot. Appreciate all your support!

There is the credit card complication after purchasing all the lovely watches....

The 11$M patek was so expensive because it was a steel case instead of the regular gold or the special rose gold. There were 281 gold case 1518s, but only 4 in steel.

Teddy, could you do a vid on automatic watch movements? Maybe some info on where they originated, who uses them and their level of importance horologically.

Can't believe you didn't mention the most amazing complication of all: email-support at the 6 o'clock position on the Patek Philippe shown at 8:00.

Love the new style thumbnails, Teddy. Keep 'em coming!

So informative for new collectors like me. I didn't know a few of them. You just made me add a few more watches to my every increasing wish list.

My Citizen Eco Drive Calibre 8700 has a perpetual calender. Granted, its a quartz and not an automatic, but I haven't changed the date in 9 years. Awesome watch. Great video Teddy!

Concise, clear, really informative and always enjoyably presented.

[haxonwax]

Good idea. Felt like you were going a bit too quickly but easy enough to rewind on youtube. Thanks again for another good video.

Moonphase function actually is very useful when dealing with countries that have their holidays and religious events that are based on the moon, mostly when it’s a full moon.

[TEA-rex]

Very educational--not a complicated video
