God I’m so torn between living as a rugged man in the mountains and wanting to be a polished man of class and elegance

[bjornnordstrom]

This was a surprise. I've been watching both your channels for years but never imagined the two of you should meet in real life. I really enjoy these unexpected encounters. Kirby, you should have your own TV-show!

[johnjohn]

I really appreciate that Kirby will ask a question and allow an answer to be fully spoken before responding with his own thoughts. It is very refreshing to see content like this.

[I-Libertine]

As I've watched Teddy over the years, he's really become one of the greats in the watch world. His expertise is so deep, he has no need to show off or talk down (or worse, talk smack)--just loves the art and history and loves to share his knowledge. The gentleman of the watch community, to be sure. Great guest.

[Havsorm]

Well done Kirby, so good to see you and Teddy together. Just a wonderful collaboration!

[dannysimenauer]

I love the collaboration between Teddy and Kirby. Maybe in a future episode, Kirby could lay out a business casual, suit and tie, and jeans ensemble for Teddy to match a watch to the outfit. Could be fun to see trying to match dials, bands, and shoes to each type of outfit.

Great collaboration! Teddy does such an amazing job at highlighting affordable models from good brands that don't cost 5 figures, when most of the Youtuber's are obsessed with watches as investments. (which won't last!)

[nedflanders]

Very cool to see Kirby getting interested in watches! You guys are a dynamic duo!😊 Both great channels!

[antonisempere]

Great interview, really showcases Teddy as a person and watch enthusiast. I think most interviews are done by other watch people but Kirbys approach is different and allows Teddy to speak is mind. Props Kirby

[johnsinclair]

I love Teddy’s genuine enthusiasm for the entry level level watches.
Sadly this is not reciprocated by Kirby, he moves on swiftly through the “cheap end!”
Kirby’s only becomes animated when talking about what is perceived as exclusive. No opportunity to to mention Patek or his Chopard, or his Grandfathers Rolex was missed.
Well done Teddy, you are are truly “all inclusive!”.

[Every_Day_Adventure]

This conversation flowed very well, the time passed without feeling an hour. You two should converse more.

[JamyRyals]

Enjoyable episode! I like the Longines for affordable and the less complicated Reverso on the high end.

[andsoitwas]

really impressive that you met up with Teddy - always so fun to see him get nerdy and talk about this stuff, you can really see the passion.

[danw]

Another great collaboration- wonderful content yet again Kirby!

[younusimam-thesalamproject]

The Bambino can be had for $130 I believe in some online stores. Thats where I got mine over a year ago. Excellent watch

[iAmDonCarlos]

Yes ! We needed more watch content. Congrats Kirby and Teddy.

[robbiecleighmarks]

This is great, im a big fan of Teddy. I have several watches, but Longines and Tudor are by far my favorite for under $5k. In fact if anyone has a budget of under $2k, look at the Longines Conquest line.. incredible

When people today reference Louis Breguet as the inventor of the tourbillon they fail to give due credit to John Arnold, who was the first to develop the concept of a tourbillon, and whose initial work on the mechanism was curtailed by his death. However, Arnold passed his work to Breguet, who personally acknowledged Arnold’s contribution to the invention of the tourbillon by placing his first tourbillon not into one of his own watches, but into one of John Arnold’s early pocket chronometers, Arnold No. 11, which he presented to John Arnold’s son, having also had it engraved with the following inscription:

“The first Tourbillon timekeeper by Breguet incorporated into one of the first works of Arnold. Breguet's homage to the revered memory of Arnold, given to his son AD 1808."

I have a Tissot Le Locle with an aftermarket croc strap that i get compliments on any time i wear it in a dress environment. Goes to show like you guys said, you dont need a $30, 000 dress watch to turn heads. I also love it and bought it because it is a Swiss brand with a long history. One i would love to get is the Seiko “tank”.

Warning Kirby ⛔️ if you get into watches, you will inevitably reach to a point where you will end up selling your beautiful shoe, suit and cigar collections. You have been warned 😂
