VINTAGE WATCH PEEEEEOPLE. I need your help! 😭
So. I’ve always loved vintage! I always say watches are in the intersection of art, history, fashion and engineering - and I always thought it’d be so cool to collect more historical pieces. BUUUUTTTT there’s a few reasons why I am scared to get into vintage! (Hence this video! 🙈🙈)
I think it’s just a whole, big, giant rabbit hole that I am about to get stuck into 😝 but I have historically been too afraid to put my...

Patrons paaatrons! It's early access video time! I've been working on this one for the past couple of weeks now! This is one of those videos that I feel like... It won't do very well... But it's just a watch that I like so much and gets me all fired up! ;) But who knows! Maybe the KITH hype will rub off and help this one?!
DOESN'T MATTER! What matters is: I bought 2 new TAG Heuers ;) haha! x2 F1's from 1996! I originally got one because I saw my friend Luke wearing one at British Watch...

Hello Patrons! <3 HAPPY THURSDAY! Has this week flown by for you too?!?! I can't tell if this is just a me-thing, or an everyone-thing! ;) But I just need to say: I am so sorry I haven't been more present here in Gringa Town! I know there's a few messages waiting for me to get back to! AND I AM COMING! <3
But for NOW: It's new video time! ^_^ This one is a bit different - a bit experimental! But this is just talking about watch servicing. I feel like servicing is an important par...

PATRONS PAAATRONS! It is TIME for video 4/6 of my NOMOS series! And honestly, I have been loving making these! <3 Like... I know I need to stop at 6 because the poor people of watch fam can't listen to me talk about NOMOS every other week lol! BUT YOU KNOW WHEN YOU JUST LOVE A BRAND and you can talk about them nonstop?! I do this with Rolex and Tudor as well. I can tell I am being annoying and talking too much... but I also have no self control! Haha!

Patrons PAAATRONS! I am a bit later than I like to be on this one - absolutely manic week here at Gringa HQ! BUT WE PULLED THROUGH! This is the Watch Gringle Quarterly Rant About Flippers & How Glad she is that the Bubble is Bursting, lol!
I feel like people are going to get sick of this genre... But... I just can't express how happy I am that this time of craziness - specifically the mania of 2022 is OVER; and I really hope it is not coming back.
So this video is really exp...

Oh my GOSH patrons. Something hit me today…. Our little baby is DUE IN 2 MONTHS! July 3rd. And man, pregnancy has been really really hard. Each trimester has come with its own, new set of challenges. But 3rd trimester might be the worst! 🤣 HE IS CONSTANTLY WIGGLING! I have no energy again. I feel pretty ill again! Gah!

ANOTHER ONE PATRONS! 🤣
GOSH! This has been a hard week of deadlines…. BUT WE PULLED THROUGH!
This one is going live TOMORROW (this is of course the patreon early access!) and it’s my 1 year with the BB54. I freaking loved making my update with the BB58 and realised “woah! It’s been exactly a year with the 54!” And this was also a pure joy to make!
I really love doing watch reviews! It’s definitely my favourite side of this watch YouTube madness! Spending a c...

Hello HELLO Patrons!
YES - it is freaking early access time! <3 So this is video 3/6 of our NOMOS Tangente series and this time we are talking about the movement and all the technical goodness NOMOS brings to the table. As some of you guys know, the NOMOS Tangente was my first ever mechanical watch - and years on now, their movements still blow me away. How much watchmaking they are delivering at the pricepoint - absolutely epic!
I hope you guys are having a great week so far...

I am sure you guys all have it too! <3 But here is the Watch Gringa OFFICIAL Winners and Losers of 2024 novelties. I think there's some pretty obvious ones in there - but then, there's some les-obvious ones as well. This is just mostly highlighting the things that knocked my socks off, and... Well.. brands that didn't.
I'd be really curious to know. Are there any Bremont lovers in ...

But I've got hands on WITH MOOOOORE COLOURS! >=] And I swear, with each batch, I only love them more and can't decide which is my favourite.
