When I was 25 I got laid off from my first job and had to sell my collection to get by. That included my favorite piece, an Oris Big Crown. I worked whatever jobs I could find at the time, and by 29 I had paid off my student loans and debt. Then covid hit and set me back again. At 32 I started a new career in Sales and bought an Orient Bambino to celebrate. I needed a budget piece, and your channel helped me narrow the playing field. This year I turned 33 and my career has started to take off. After 8 years, I can proudly say that a new Oris entered my collection. It reminds me of the work I put in to get here, and the obstacles I had to overcome. For that reason it will always be one of my favorite brands. It’s cool to see the industry growth and a healthy enthusiast community. Watches can represent many things, mine tell a story and capture a moment in time. It’s been fun watching your channel grow over the years, and you deserve all the success you’ve earned!

Thank you! The divers 65 is a great watch. The deep green on the Mr. Porter is class! No matter what happens next, my Artelier Skeleton is coming to the grave with me 😂 Next milestone I’ll get one of their in house movements. Oris is a great independent brand, and I think they’re moving in a good direction.

Great story. Keep chipping away brother, sometimes the grind is necessary, but it’s what makes it all worth it in the end

Teddy, i want to say thank you for changing my life indirectly! I transitioned from being a manual machinist to a watchmaker after seeing some of your videos! I had no interest in timepieces before, and never even considered it a potential career. Little did i know, Mr. Teddy here would peak my curiousity, and make me seek out options in the field. Reached out on indeed to a couple places, and then one i didnt even apply to reached out to me, said they loved my work experience and leadership skills (i had worked my way to lead machinist at my shop), and offered to send me to watchmaking school and become a certified watchmaker! I now make more money than i ever wouldve machining, and i genuinely love my job! Theres not a single day i struggle to want to be there. So, thank you Teddy, for inserting a new line of thinking into my brain, that led to a beautiful change in my life. Youre awesome, buddy!

Always love the quality of content from you Teddy. Congratulations on 1 million subscribers.

Very informative video i am working since 45 years with swiss watch industry as horology engineer and technician mostly works with swatch group brand in Saudi Arabia this was my first job and continue till today. Several times visited swiss for job training etc.

Love the diverse content you provide Teddy!!! I watch all your videos 😊

This was really interesting Teddy. Not too long but all the important info with great editing, images, graphs etc... THANK YOU! Perfect video.

Teddy - I always look forward to your videos. So insightful and informative. I also want to say congratulations on hitting the 1m mark for KZread subs. An incredible feat for a channel I've been following for the last eight years. Very excited for you! Well done to you and your team!

Great stuff Teddy! Love it when you do videos like this interpreting the Morgan Stanley list and breaking down market trends!

Love all the metrics and delivery. Great review!

I was actually expecting more growth from Tudor. They are still a long way from "overtaking" Omega, as some creators like to say. Love both brands!

I don't think Tudor will reach Omega status. People forget that Tudor became relevant since the blackbay 58, before that he had always been in the shadow of Rolex. However, Omega is a brand with much more history, contributions, variety, among others.

Excellent presentation!!!

Love this video, great insides into the watch market.

Thanks for your take!❤

More and more amazed by how Rolex can be considered an exclusive brand. The Swiss watch market is dominated by Rolex with monstrous percentages. We must add an even bigger slice made by the fake ones that inflate the brand image even more. The vast majority of people who wear Rolex are not rich or wealthy, and retailers often sell by installment. I don’t wear my Rolex anymore because I’m ashamed to be mistaken for one of them.

Love this stuff. Keep it coming.

Fantastic work, Teddy! Personally, I'm a modest watch enthusiast, and professionally, I'm involved in finance, so the sales figures for the holdings were right up my alley! Thank you very much 🤝

Would it be possible to one day make a video like this comparing these brands to those outside of Switzerland? I would be really curious to see how the likes of Seiko, Citizen, Nomos, A Lange & Sohne, etc stack up to the Swiss giants.

Love data and static heavy videos 📈 extremely informative 🔥😎

Wonderful video Teddy

Yup. Keep making these deep dive type videos. The data is really interesting.

Fine vid Teddy. Thanks

Loved this! Next time, do the top 20 by volume rather than sales!

Nice to see that Tissot is in the Top 10 🎉

I Swiss brand i like is Titoni. It would be great to see you do a piece on them. Still family owned, after 100 years, they make some really nice stuff. The Seascoper is very well specced. Strangely, they dont really distribute much in the UK and US, so brand awareness is virtually zero, but theyve been popular in Eastern parts.

Nice Teddy, well done.

Great video keep the good work

Omega, Longines and Tissot.

This was absolutely a video worth watching.

Great video, would definitely like more on the industry.

Very good, much appreciated

Thanks for your job!

Great to see the 24 update from your last 2023 report. Very educational, thank you, since watches can be very expensive, so I think it's good stewardship to understand the markets. "Teddy", is there similar report for Asian markets, and/or world markets?

I want more of this.

Keep doing stuff like this. Great video. And yes, 2023 was a crazy Swatch year with all the iterations of the MoonSwatch, talking about Moonshine Gold, which continued in 2024 with two Snoopy MoonSwatches... They keep the hype running. 🙂

Great video & Content 🏌🏽‍♂️🇺🇸🥃

Love this channel for the hobby that I love

Love the video and wondering where Zenith stands among top brands.

Fascinating to see the (rough) numbers being made/yr. I didn't think they would be so high, especially for such high-end product.

Great Video, tks

HEY #nkuwan I have been watching you for years and im so proud of where you have made it! I love you so much! Also thanks for making my day

Love this analysis, thanks Teddy! Would love to see similar figures at a global scale: would that be possible in a next video? Many thanks!

Love the stats !!!

As a swiss guy working for one o those Top 10 brands i'm VERY HAPPY to see this figures. It's good news if everyone (almost😅) is growing year after year!! Btw i'm a Casio fanboy since a kid!!

Thank you Teddy for the video, where can I find the full report?

Interesting video. Would definitely like to see more about the business side of watch sales.

Informative and catchy video .. would be good to know which markets were buying ex. China vs Middle East vs last year

Please make video on global watch brands as per their market share..... Thank you..!!! ❤

Me as proud owner of Tissot watch, im really glad for top 10.

I never realised that my Ball watch was so exclusive. I have several watches from the top five but it remains my favourite and most worn.

This is possibly one of the most interesting videos you’ve done so far. The Watch market is so entirely introspective compared to the rest of the world economy. While I personally feel that investing in watches is a fool’s errand, knowing the depth and breath of the Market is captivating. Another excellent video, sir! Very, well done 👍🏻

Hey teddy I would love to hear your opinion on a debate between the oris aquis caliber 400 and the bb58, I think it's a close one between the two.

Great Video

Keep it up Teddy we want more videos like this probably the world wide sales for 2023 if the numbers are available

Good stuff. I wish they also made a report that took into account more than just the Swiss watch sales.

Very interesting video.

Great content! Is there anything similar for global market? Including for example Japanese, German, British, American watches?

Great video, thanks Teddy! Pie charts at 10:57 not quite right…
