Teddy does not want to post his personal watch collection because he is a secret MVMT only watch enthusiast 😎

Solid reason for not wanting to show your own collection. And all your reasons make perfect sense. Cant fault you for that. Whenever youre ready, we will be waiting!

Thanks again for all your GREAT content!

This is why I love Teddy. From the awesome response about a collection video to his takes on the NBA greats, you show your versatility and a more full picture of who you are. If your channel was a movie, the character development would be A+

For the wedding, wear your grandfathers watch. I was able to wear my late grandfathers day-date that he wore daily and it was the best decision I ever made. Very cool to have a piece of him there with me on that day.

On the wedding watch topic, I actually wore the first automatic I got, which was given to me by my grandparents. They sadly had passed the year before our wedding, and wearing it to me was like have a small part of them with me on a very important day.

It was a Seiko Kinetic Ska581

Hey Teddy. For my wedding, I brought new matching (but not the same) watches for my wife and I which she picked. It helped complement her dress/outfit. The idea also being it's a new chapter in your life and something you can pass down to your kids. You can always change your watch for the reception.

We just got married two weeks ago and I was wearing my Nomos Orion. I grew up in a City 20 miles from Glashütte and my now wife got me the watch as an engagement gift. We went to Glashütte, visited the watch museum, and ended the day at the Nomos Store!
I will forever love this watch and loved wearing something so meaningful and close to home on our special day.

Thank you Teddy (and the team) for all your great content and your enthusiasm for watches!

For my wedding I wore my orient bambino. It’s a gray dial variation. Definitely not my most expensive watch but it was my only true dress watch and it fit the color scheme for my wedding. I got married in December and we did a Christmas themed wedding. I’ll never ever sell that watch. I also wore it to both of my graduations from undergraduate and graduate school. It’s got so many memories for me and even though the retail is about $100, to me it’s priceless.

As I m from Germany, I was wearing my Nomos Neomatic on a metal bracelet (because it was summertime and sweating hot). And on this watch I engraved the wedding date. So it's a real lovely memory, and I wear this watch only on special occasions with my wife - and I cannot forget my wedding-date and get in trouble :-) )

Great video! Regarding wedding watches, I got a JLC Duomètre Unique Travel Time for my wedding. Loved the romanticism of a dualtime watch as a reminder that, even if we’re in two different timezones, we’re still together!

[diydad]

You made a very solid point about not wanting to show your collection that also goes for the wedding watch. Just make up your mind and don't tell. If i may make a suggestion, though, you should get something flashy! Judging from what i see online, you'll definitely wear a very classy tuxedo. Having some luxury piece to that is foreseeable. Remember you're supposed to have fun that day! My pick for you would be a Studio Underdog Watermelon for the occasion.

Hey Teddy - Thanks for all the content! My Fiancé and I did something fun. She was going to get me a watch, we talked about it, and she ended up buying me the exact watch I was looking at. Yes, it wasn’t really a surprise, but now I have a piece that I wanted, and it also has pretty significant meaning to me. I like that about my wedding watch. 😊

[derekbock]

Hey Teddy... got married in April and purchased a new watch for it. I'm not on the rich side but I went for a Tissot PRX Automatic. It'll forever be my "wedding watch" and hold a special place in my heart no matter how expensive or large my collection grows. I'd advise you to make it special, get a new watch, and never get rid of it.

100% wear your Junghans Chronoscope to your wedding. It's a huge piece of your watch journey and you adore that watch. You have so many memories tied to that watch, and now you can add your wedding day as well!

[gabelogan]

On the wedding watch topic; our wedding planner made us handover our watches so we could not keep track of time, she was totally correct, it was a good idea. And I say this as a watch enthusiast. But… my advice, by yourself something, that you specifically want just don’t make it about the wedding per-say, instead make it about the mile stone in general. Hope that makes since. Keep up the great content man, and congratulations!

Wear your grandfather's watch for your wedding, you can pass down not only your family legacy but also add one more major milestone to it.

[DAWesome_]

I honestly kept it simple and wore my black dial Le Locle for my wedding. It's my favorite piece and I was marrying my favorite person, so it just made sense to me.

[clinth]

Great videos Teddy. I think wearing your Grandfather's watch at your wedding would be quite fitting 🙂

[Riv_]

Hey Teddy! My Seiko Alpinist comes in today! I was just watching your video on them. Can’t wait!

[gordonfreeman]

Great video! Your answer re the cost of a watch is spot on; I also try to avoid telling the price. Only entusiasts understand getting an expensive watch. My wife and I bought watches together, when we got married and then again 10 years later and last year after 20 years. A real cool thing to have together :)
