    I used to watch other watch channels but seeing how you deal with your children, and even allowing them into a video, even though they don’t understand that part fully yet, mealts my heart. I remember bringing my children into my offices and spending hours downloading songs snd movies and watching and listening. But most importantly making memories for me now that they are gone off to make their marks in this world. You have earned a life long follower. Thank you.

      I love the ingenuity of children. He's how old and has the wits to suggest using the electric hair clippers out of the blue. I sit in many meetings with adults only able to focus on the issue instead of the solution. also I love how the watches look like new at the end. I know a lot of people like to preserve the wear and patina on old watches during restorations, but personally enjoy when these watches magically go back in time to the moment when an enthusiastic individual was feeling the excitement of wanting to purchase it when seeing it in the store's window or presented on a velvet display tray inside. Thank you for your genuine videos without overly edited footage, and the fun bits added with your son. Great work!!

    I truly never gave much thought to watches… I put them on, take them off,go to the jewelry store to replace the battery. But as I have watched your videos for a couple of years I find myself gasping at the mistreatment of beautiful watches, cleaning my fitness tracker from wrist gunk (while keeping a previous meal where it belongs), and appreciating the amazing perfection of even inexpensive time pieces. And at some point I think what a great skill you have. Many blessings to you, the ‘Accountant’ and of course your apprentice.

    If my aunt hadn't been in love with Piaget watches then I would have never heard of the brand. She owned a Piaget for every occasion, some were quiet elegant. When I was a youth, the luxury brands were Omega and Rolex. Brands such as Baum Mercier and Concord were around. My first watch in high school was a Mido Ocean Star, a most durable watch that was lost in a repair shop, never to be found.
