I think you just hit a "home run" there my friend! Definitely pure class! I love the way you make us think differently, and surprise and delight us with a brand and style we never thought of. Couple that with the fascinating history, education of the design language, makes your watch channel my absolute favourite! It's so nice to see your passion as a true watch enthusiast, being expressed in such a unique and creative fashion. Unearthing these little gems, like the Universal Geneve and now this stunning GP, makes my heart sing. You've taken my appreciation of horology, yet again, to a brand new level! Onwards and Upwards! P.S. You look seriously dangerous in those shades, walking around Philly!

I never cease to be amazed at how you find a rather obscure timepiece with pure elegance and timelessness. Such a splendid choice! Very well done indeed my friend. 🥃

It’s his job. GP is far from obscure, even to the casual hobbyist.

201 pieces sold exclusively in japan in 1992. yeah thats the definition of obscure. incredible find

Wow. What a piece this is. I really do love and appreciate the education and understanding ( and entertainment ) you give us of history and design and even engineering ( quick call Marc ) of these pieces. I will never be able to step up to these time pieces, but you sure do make it interesting.

Ive been a watcher of your TGV since 2016. I want to say thank you for these years you have been treasure more than not. You have been a respite from the world from time to time. a bit of class in my life. Warm Wishes and Happy Holidays

Very nice TGV. The first thing that came to my mind when you unboxed it was that your new watch is pure class. Congratulations 👏

Another pure class video! The decoration is mesmerizing, you really can take a few time to look at that remarkable case back! Classic elegance in small piece of art. Thank you to bring up amazing pieces like this GP.

Just "Wow". That watch seriously looks like it was made for sitting on your wrist. I'm generally not a fan of rose either, but the blend with the yellow dial looks absolutely fantastic in your wrist with the updated strap. I have too much red in my tone for gold to work for myself, but that's a real stunner for you. You managed both onward and upward this time.

I must admit, the rotor and power reserve indicator are the highlights for me. Fantastic choice! I truly appreciate the attention to detail.

This is beautiful and not an obvious choice. Congratulations on your final acquisition for 2023! May it bring you joy for years to come.

Not very often do I audibly say wow with the reviewer but when I saw that movement, I was awestruck! Unreal detail. What a beautiful acquisition

Once again a winner...Beautiful watch...One would expect no less from someone with such impeccable taste..

I remember watching one of your videos many years ago. You have really come along way. Cheers.

What a banger! I love that you feature these lesser known pieces. It’s a beautiful watch. Bravo 👏

Fantastic piece of art, great video production, thank you TGV!

That is SOME piece! Congrats! And I love the end of this vid; beautifully shot and wondrously narrated. As you said, this watch is "pure class."

Thanks for your entertaining and informative posts this year!

Thank you! I always appreciate the support, it would not be possible without your support! Best regards, TGV

Wow, what a classy piece this is! Fantastic TGV, as always a pleasure and a wonderful example of style 🧡

Very nice indeed, and the Hirsch strap works really well. I went a little nuts last year, so 2023 has been a light year for me in watch buying terms. So far, my "final" watch purchase of 2023 (way back in June) was a Glycine Airman 42. I don't spin in your circles in terms of watch collecting, and I tend to lean into the practical, sporty side. Too many hobbies to fund (vintage road bikes, PC building, woodworking, redecorating my house) and too many desirable sub-$300 watches for me to justify buying expensive pieces.

Stunning piece! You did well. I am generally not a fan of power reserve indicators on the dial, but this was done tastefully. The movement is beautifully decorated.

Good to see your video pop up on my feed on the weekend! Hope all is well TGV

Absolutely stunning!!!! Loved hearing all of the reasons this piece resonates with you, and that strap choice is perfect!

What a beauty! Loving it on the black lizard strap…black and gold always takes me back to the John Player Special racing colours, pure class. ❤

Wow! Breguet style hands with roman numerals is definitely one of my favorite combination. The simplicity and beauty of this watch is timeless! Just Beautiful!!!

Great find. Congrats! PC, of course (Pure Class). You always manage to think outside the box and get something unique and that really suits your fine taste in watchmaking. I also somewhat recently found a Japan limited edition timepiece from around the early to mid 1990s.. a really cool Longines L2.606.4 Weems Pilot Watch that is a pretty faithful Replica* (*Longines' own words and it's engraved on the case back). I think it would also be right up your alley for cool WW2 pilot watches like your vintage Omega Seamaster CK2229 (or the earlier bezel version CK2129).

I would describe this watch as. Class with a touch of timeless luxury and a ton of good taste. A description most people should aspire to. Thank you for the video !

Another phenomenal video. Your taste in watches is spot on! Thanks so much! 😊

Broadening horizons with pure class 👌🏼 Would love to see some content regarding Swiss watch brands that are no longer with us today. I’m sure there must be some great history and technical advances in watch making that can be contributed to brands that have either been absorbed my other brands, or those that simply just didn’t survive.

Not normally a lover of gold watches but this is stunning , the work on the dial face and the movement would just keep me looking at it rather than telling time. I love old Pocket Watches so maybe this is what draws me to it esp with the blued hands. The strap just goes with the watch and again a great price by Hirsch. Congrats on a stunning piece

Beautiful, excellent find. Adding this one to my watch list!

That's a great find. I want to thank you for all your fantastic videos.

Amazing video, beautiful piece with one of the most amazing rotors I've ever seen in a watch

WOW, impressive bit of kit. Really sophisticated. Art for the wrist. I'd be too scared to wear it. Enjoy this piece in good health.

Congratulations. Your proclivity to gold, the proportional size, the attention to detail all add up to perfect for you.

Absolutely stunning! That decoration on the movement is mesmerizing! Pure class indeed!

The moment you slipped off the ebay backcover, you in the video and me watching said the same words exactly at the same time with same tempo - oh. my. god. Congratulations on the fabulous piece, definitely a keeper.

Wow!!! Congratulations, my man. Stunningly beautiful pickup. I had my final 2023 pickup yesterday - a rootbeer GMT. Hope you had a great thanksgiving!

Great film choices, thanks for another fantastic segment TGV.

Very divine and I agree with the strap replacement just perfect!!

Wonderful review! I love to see how your tastes have changed and I recall an older video of yours discussing the importance of growth and evolving your tastes and maturity etc. Great video!

Thanks for your work my good sir 🙏

Hi TGV, Beautiful GP. Congrats on your find! Best regards, John

Watching your channel over the years has taught me so much, it’s the reason I am spending so much! Your latest purchase is absolutely stunning, all the very best.

This is absolutely gorgeous. Congratulations on the purchase!

Congratulations TGV! A beautiful piece, pure class!

We always appreciate the effort you put into your content brother. Congratulations on the watch, I would stare at that caseback for hours!

Saturday Night, cracked open a bottle of Shiraz, fire crackling away and listening to TGV muse on watches. Life is good 😎⌚️

That GP is unbelievable. Wonderful timepiece on so many levels. Congrats! And shout out to the speedy at 13:10 Glad to see your making the most of it.

Beautiful watch, thanks for sharing 😊

Awesome watch! So much detailed yet understated. Enjoy 😊

Absolutely lovely piece!!! Congratulations!!!

I was not expecting that... Timeless classic!

A video just in time! This morning getting dressed, I dropped my Prada L'homme cologne and smashed my vanity sink. The cologne is fine, but I spent all day ripping out and replacing my vanity sink. I just sat down and noticed a video😊 Now I can relax 😌

Ciao Tristano, ho scoperto da qualche mese il tuo canale e grazie a te mi sono appassionato ancora di più al mondo dell’ orologeria. Sto recuperando un po’ alla volta tutti i tuoi preziosi video. Complimenti per la passione che metti nel realizzare i tuoi contenuti. Un saluto da Venezia 😉

Now that’s a watch to hand down to the grandkids.

As always Pure Class. An excellent end of the year purchase. This is a true IYKYK piece, I look forward to seeing it in a "How to Dress..." Video.

Congratulations on such a beautiful watch. Truly inspiring

Looks stellar hope you enjoy it! I've been wearing my Bulova Wilton a lot lately and I do really like the roman numerals as well. Power reserve on the GP is a sweet touch.

Oh my goodness! I loooooooove this watch and it is without a shadow of a doubt one of my favorite watches that you’ve ever owned!!

Congratulations on a stellar purchase!!! Beautiful stuff.

I dont think I would have branched out to GP personally in my collection as of yet, but if id known about this piece id have absolutely picked this up! what a watch! time for me to get into reading about GP more. The dial and case back combo are wild. Insane pick up , congratz

Very elegant! This seems like a timeless design. Congratulations TGV! 👏👏

Great looking watch. Congrats on the find and purchase🎉

The best intros on KZread in any genre!

ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS. I would wear it upside down to showcase that beauty lol

Congratulations! This is an amazing and stunning piece!

Another great pick-up and another great video!

Hi TGV. Please also do your annual war room tour. I always find it fascinating! Onwards and upwards!

Beautiful piece!!

Loved the cutaway to the scrolling through Blu-rays!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Didn’t register what was going on, 🤔 but when the penny dropped! So satisfying, and such a beautifully creative way of illustrating the passage of time. Bravo 👏🏻. Superb video. Beautiful watch.

My final (watch) purchase of 2023 was an 80's Timex Ironman Triathlon. Really looking forward to getting it!

Very nice. A true gentleman’s watch for a true gentleman. Although a very tiny evil part of me was thinking it would be hilarious if you opened it, and there was a Moonswatch inside. And you started yelling obscenities in Italian! 🇮🇹

i think i enjoyed unboxing this little gem as much as you did mate!..classy! im from bristol u.k ....isambard brunel would be proud of this understated timepiece, pure class! onwards and upwards mate!

Super cool piece. Fantastic decorations.

This is an absolute stunner, love the dial 👏👏👏🤗

CLASS. Great find.

Another sublimely produced video and a very sumptuous watch to feast our eyes on. O&U Tristano man!

Wonderful video, beautiful watch. Congratulations on a wonderful choice. John

You’re great and your videos make me smile.

Wow that is one gorgeous G-P. it's very much in your wheel house it couldn't be more you the dial kind of reminds me of that Baltic watch making the rounds with Watch channel youtubers. The rose gold really compliments the yellow gold. Great video as always really enjoyed the history lesson as always.

This is not the style of watch that I'd usually be too interested in but that is a stunning and interesting watch. It really does have that perfect balance of "show" but not in your face bling. As you said it's tasteful regality and I suppose the balance of that is personal preference but I think this one hits the mark.

Pure class TGV… very intrigued about your revised and reduced collection. Could you ever get below five time pieces?

Congrats to this beautiful new companion! Pure class.

It is not the watch that makes the man, it is the Urban Gentry Man that makes the watch and here we have it. Very refreshing and congratulations!!!

Fun and well researched 👏😎

Stunning, so much detail but a beautifully cohesive design.

Very tasteful piece! Congrats on you purchase Sir!

I love G-P dress watches from pre-Laureato era with their classy and simple style, also often executed in gold with Gyromatic movements. Their first Laureato Quartz Chronometer is also iconic watch.

Beautiful, classic timepiece. Well done.

Stunning, the finishing just . Wow

Pure class as always, TGV. I'm hoping to see you post a video on signet rings (like you mentioned in one of your EDC videos). Keep up the great work, I truly appreciate your content.

Beautiful piece, congratulations🎉

TGV just has a style and vibe like no other. Love you brother.

WOW!! it caught me by surprise when you opened the box. WOW WOW WOW!

So glad you decided to highlight this brand, so much an underated brand.

Congrats on the purchase TGV! It did evoke the FC that you reviewed recently which is another beauty. Gold is something haven't yet got to in my own collection but pieces like this do get the wheels turning.

Wow! What a find! And really fits with you. Enjoy!

Absolutely gorgeous watch. Congratulations! Please share it often on the channel. 👏👏👏👏

My choir traveled to England this summer, and at St. Paul's Cathedral London, our rehearsal room was near Christopher Wren's final resting place in the crypt. Singing a Sunday mass under his famous dome was among my most magnificent experiences ever!

Absolutely beautiful watch, such that I thought it was the oft mentioned grail! Unique and classy.
