This channel is just the best. As a watch afflicted person, that is, a person who enjoys watches like a moth to a flame, your videos are just wonderful moments that I think capture why we afflicted (us afflicted?) watch nerds got sucked into this in the first place. The jokes are fun, stunning videography, insightful information, and wrist size unknown for some reason. Just want to share some appreciation for what you do. You help all of us damaged people embrace our strange shared interest. Your videos are great. And you're, dare I say it, terrific. Thank you!
you can do this with any chronograph by just stopping the seconds hand wherever you want. sure you have to wait up to a minute to set it, but its functionally identical. i use it freqently to time things and compare against either the hour or minute hand depending on how long something takes. its great for a six hour flight: set the chrono seconds to where the hour hand will be when you land and it basically becomes a progress bar.
Or you could use your phone which is what you actually do. I’m convinced the only time anyone uses a complication is the first time they use it and when showing it off to people who glaze over when you say “look at my watch, it can…”
@@hotsungmany (most?) chronos dont count more than 30 minutes. also, in my daily life, i pretty much only ever need a count down timer, not count up. (i'd rather see time remaining than have to remember how long i need to cook food.) i use the regular chrono for counting up to 30 mins, or for stuff like tea which is only a few mins. everything else i use this trick. its great for when you throw something in the oven and want to know how much time is left without getting up lol.
@@runrin_ Ah I mean I think it's still a neat trick. My chronos like speedmaster does have elapsed hours so I find that easier. Also if you like countdown, I think diver bezels are easier to use but maybe you just love the look of chronos. Cheers!
Love this channel. The photography, human and the appreciation of high horology. As far as the watch, yes please. All good videos featuring this brand make me consider selling my car😂
I'm really excited for your wrist size reveal. PS since there was no watch joke I have a joke for you, what did the papa tomato say when he squished his baby tomato for lagging behind as they were walking down the street? Rattrapante.
Damn man, such a great video! Awesome videography, stunning visuals, really interesting watches, and awesome commentary! You manage to balance the high-horology watch-snob style with an off-beat sense of humour and surprising quips. Honestly, this is one of the best reviews I've watched in at LONG time 💙
Honestly, if money wasn’t a thing… this would be the watch I pick. BUTTT the rose gold blue dial….. insane watch!!! This brand is sooo under rated. The perp calendar watch is also amazing! Thanks for covering this
Great vid. I've wondered how they work. I could see the next evolutionary step in the mechanism incorporate a chime function. So when the watch rattrapantes to the set hand, it causes a chime to chime. That would be cool.
To me, this complication would be more useful than gmt or even a chronograph. However there’s quite a bit of play in the ratrappante hand (in both directions) when the minute hand was being adjusted @4:58
Thank you for a very nice video about a beautiful watch! Some fun facts: 1. Rattrapante comes apparently from italian word "rattrapare" = to catch up 2. You can still find rattrapante (or split seconds) chronographs that are not so expensive, e.g. Omega speedmaster 3540.80. Very unusual look for a speedmaster but a very cool watch with Dubois Dépraz chronograph module. 3. How big is your wrist again because you never mentionned that? 🤣😜 I am looking forward to your next video!
I think this is my favorite watch related video on UA-cam right now, and it's not entirely because of the watch. I felt compelled to do my best keyboard typey words to let you know.
PF is growing to be a fantastic manufacture, the change of logo on the dial was a step in the right direction, the new management did some great things to the brand. In my eyes they need to step it down a bit more with the amount of polished surfaces on their watches. Especially on an integrated bracelet pieces this actually makes them look "cheap". Also the finish on the sides of the bracelet would benefit if it was sharper and "flatter". You can spot that characteristic light fall-off on the end of the links (again - on the SIDE of the bracelet) that I would expect from a SEIKO, not a watch at this pricepoint. The transition from the crisp and sharply finished lugs to the "meh" bracelet sides pokes me in the eyes :)
My one irk with this complication is the minute hands stuttering when moving the pushers or when changing the time (visible when he moves the minutes hand back and forth). Otherwise love the novel complication
Still waiting for the TeaMaster. Or will I really have to launch a watch brand JUST so I can have a watch which counts down the minutes needed for the perfect cuppa?
If we can have a rotating bezel with some kind of marker, will that not do the same task as a rattrapante marker? With fewer complications? ...and furthermore, if somebody can afford 35000 euro for a watch, shouldn't they have a minion to mention politely, "time mark?" if they are concerned about distractions?
Some of THE best photography in the watch game. Stunning.
Couldn’t agree more! Please tell us about your equipment and workflow!
Thanks so much. By the way, a coworker of mine is a fan of your music.
Watches certainly are tricky to capture properly aren’t they?
It's not a game, watch people are at risk!🤌😅
Also, what size is your wrist for the record?😅
Best watch channel on UA-cam IMHO. This is why I keep Rattrapante-ing to your videos.

End game level stuff right there. This watch has hobby exit velocity.

I feel so stupid for never thinking to do this, that's awesome
Why not just let the chrono run to get your elapsed time?
Or you could use your phone which is what you actually do. I’m convinced the only time anyone uses a complication is the first time they use it and when showing it off to people who glaze over when you say “look at my watch, it can…”

4:50 “Why. What it do, what do for” you had me laughing out loud there 🤣
Philippe. Philippe do for.
This watch is so beautiful. PF's color pallet is unbelievable
Dude you’re so funny! The intro 🤣
The best watch channel since Horology House. And with less fraud.
Less fraud ... that we know of. 😀
Wait until you find out my REAL wrist size.
@@YoureTerrificI’ve always found it suspicious that you claim your wrist is exactly 7 inches in circumference 🤨
Love this channel. The photography, human and the appreciation of high horology.
As far as the watch, yes please. All good videos featuring this brand make me consider selling my car😂
I would love to see them add a sonnerie complication to play a sound when the minute hand has caught up
Exactly. Then it would actually BE useful. No one wants to constantly keep checking their watch when timing. That’s why chronographs are so useful.
The attention to detail and explanation of the unique complication really sets this content apart
I'm really excited for your wrist size reveal. PS since there was no watch joke I have a joke for you, what did the papa tomato say when he squished his baby tomato for lagging behind as they were walking down the street? Rattrapante.
I'll allow it just this once.

Honestly, this is one of the best reviews I've watched in at LONG time 💙
K ing Charles showing some class! I would love to be able to afford this watch. I haven't coveted a watch so much since I first saw an AL&S chrono.
Thanks for this video, always wanted to know what this would look like on 6.5 inch wrist
For god's sake, I am 4 minutes into this video and I still don't know what the complication is all about.
I’m a few mins in. Seems like a count up timer like an internal bezel. I’m probably wrong, I’ll find out in a couple of mins
Hey I was right.
@@kaynwells6936 thanks!
For everyone else. I skipped to about 5 mins in
It's a visual "alarm"
Guys, I think this guy has a 7-inch wrist!
Love your sense of humor man 😂

Thanks for sharing a video about this watch and its cool complication.
Great video. Just love PF timepieces! Cheers
I love the amount of comedy you add to a serious review 😂
How big is your wrist again? I think you forgot to mention its size in the video.
He said 7”
@@jkspepper05 Thank you captain!
Love
The quality of your videos man well done.
Love the design of this!

MP was one of my heroes when I studied at WOSTEP '01-'04. Dufour, Dubuis, Journe, Voutillanen and Speak-Marine too of course.
Clean, functional, and cool. Thanks for sharing!
This is really impressive... And the watch isn't bad either.
I'm not sure if my wife would like the idea of a gorgeous, elegant way for me to keep track of how late she's made us... but I like it!
Well done. You have a talent for making great videos!
How about a rattrapante mustard watch?
May I ask you what's your wrist size ?

One of the best and most elegant complications in the market! This is the epitome of stealth wealth.
PF is up for sale (supposedly) so maybe the price will come down when fire sales happen.
Any link to read about this? thanks
@@Denis-kb8ls PF has been in a desperate situation for years. Check for Handelszeitung, Switzerland.
Diver bezel: "look what they need to mimic a fraction of our power"
Now I want some spaghetti 🍝
Well done !!! I own this reference as well as the RG micro rotor
PF my favorite brand (with H.Moser). Elegance, know how ... Hat Off to the CEO for the Tonda
Beautiful watch
How do these watches stack up when it comes to finishing? Do they hold up quality wise over time?

That watch cost the same as my fully upgraded car.

This is my hopeful exit watch (along with the Lange 1).

Is it good at keeping the time?
whats your wrist size??
Wow, a 7-inch wrist!
Maybe I am just dumb but I still didn't understand what the golden minute hand does and why it jumps to the useable minute hand
Freaking gorgeous.
It took 5 minutes before an explanation was given...
Nice complication. Could see CW doing this with a Bel Canto style charm for when they meet.
Just wow. What a watch!
Wait, how big is his wrist?
Mine should arrive in a couple weeks.
Hmm... What's your wrist size?
My 2004 IWC Aquatimer split minute chronograph also has a minute rattrapante function in a diver watch with titan case ans its 20 years old 😊
That's gotta be one of the most beautiful watches I had never seen. Probably to expensive for me but I'm down to sell my car and take the bus for it.
Dude you're fuckin hilarious 😂 great video as always, keep up the great work 👍🏻
Cool complication. Honestly 👍🏻. The back is amazing.
What size is your wrist?
😉
Guys I think he has a 7 inch wrist
I wish I had more friends
I love you bro
Wow. A true, “they’ve really never made this before?”-moment.
I love PF's design language. if only they were not so expensive )
31800 is crazy
...rather than looking aaaalll the way to the bezel. :):) Dude, YoureTerrific!
So lazy
My one irk with this complication is the minute hands stuttering when moving the pushers or when changing the time (visible when he moves the minutes hand back and forth). Otherwise love the novel complication
How big is your wrist?
Sorry, had to rewatch it a couple of times but I still don't understand, how big is your wrist?
7 months passed since the review. Quite soon we should have a Rattrapante complication watches from AliExpress brands
Would be helpful if you mentioned your wrist size to be able to determine the watch size.
Still waiting for the TeaMaster.
Or will I really have to launch a watch brand JUST so I can have a watch which counts down the minutes needed for the perfect cuppa?
Do you have a 7" wrist ?
They should make it chime when the minute hands line up again.
How many inches?
What's the size of your wrist exactly ?
this is what I always use my diving watch's bezel for, in a much much much more elegant way !!!
I like it but I'm wondering how it would look on my wrist. How big is you wrist?
At the push of that gold pusher I knew this watch was for me
That’s good and all but what’s the size of your 7 inch wrist?
can you remind me about your seven inch wrist size? What was it again?
now we need the double rattrapante
ALS do a triple.
@@garyboyle695 are you referring to the triple split chronograph?
love it
What’s your wrist size? 😂
I just wish it had a seconds hand
You've heard of the "catch-up" complication - now get ready for: the "mustard" ahem "moutarde" 😂
Great video! But it left me wondering...what size is your wrist?😂
If we can have a rotating bezel with some kind of marker, will that not do the same task as a rattrapante marker? With fewer complications?
...and furthermore, if somebody can afford 35000 euro for a watch, shouldn't they have a minion to mention politely, "time mark?" if they are concerned about distractions?
The GMT version is my absolute grail
What's your wrist size mate?
This is the first watch video that made me feel dumb
Socks matching shirt matching watch strap is something I can see you accomplish this year.
I would like to know what your wrist size is?
Nice 7 inch wrist
Hi Evan, nice watches, this one Needs to go Beep Beep.
