Tim Mosso leads a line of the top luxury watch brands today on “Wake Up with Watches!” The premier YouTube watch gallery is a curated safari through the best of Rolex, Omega watches, Patek Philippe, and Audemars Piguet. From GMT watches to chronographs and tourbillon regulators, this is the place to buy a watch from you list of grails.

Rolex watches in precious metal are the topic of the day. A classic Rolex Submariner Date stuns in yellow gold with black ceramic “Cerachrom” bezel; its 300-meter water resistance and Glidelock bracelet adjustment system ensure that it lives up to the Submariner name. Rolex’s GMT Master II “green GMT hand” launched at Baselworld 2005, but it remains stunning fifteen years later in 18-karat yellow gold. Finally, a platinum Rolex Day Date offers the rare and desirable “Rolex wave” dial in signature “glacier blue.”

Omega makes only one appearance on this program, but the 2019 Seamaster Diver 300M Black Ceramic is all that’s necessary to make a splash. This dive watch resists both water and scratches thanks to a case with surface hardness that surpasses 1,800 Vickers. A no-date ceramic dial and 55-hour “Master Chronometer” caliber 8806 automatic movement complete the package.

Audemars Piguet watches encompass more than the Royal Oak, but there’s no doubting that Gerald Genta’s opus remains the beating heart of Le Brassus’ most famous watch brand. Today’s show includes a discontinued Royal Oak Chronograph in rose gold with a silver “grande tapisserie” hobnail dial.

As Patek Philippe launches the 2020 5370P-011, we take a look back to the landmark 2015 Patek Philippe 5370P-001. The 41mm platinum rattrapante remains one of the most striking and roundly appealing watches in the Patek catalog. With a grand feu enamel dial in black and an immaculately finished Patek caliber CH 29-535 PS movement, this high complication remains as relevant in 2020 as the day it bowed at Baselworld.

Fans of innovations in watchmaking will enjoy this channel’s first appearance of a Zenith Defy Inventor. The 44mm titanium (and Aeronith) TimeLab-certified chronometer uses a monobloc silicon oscillator to achieve a stratospheric 129,600 vibration per hour frequency and unprecedented accuracy of .3-.5 seconds gained per day.
