No wonder the watch is very expensive! The work involved is incredible!
A total other level!!!!
Hi. I was a certified master watchmaker in the 70s, just when digital watches came out! I greatly enjoy your videos, brings back old memories ❗
That's very nice to hear, thanks so much for sharing this!! Best to you
So, basically they are doing what Roger Smith does everyday! Wonderful to see them keeping alive as Roger does, traditional hand making.
Fantastic! It’s like you said Marc: this is some of your finest work
We tool time in the making, wish we could do more of these. Thanks for the comment and all the best to you
thanks a lot for making this accessible to us!
Personally know the new owner of this masterpiece and he's extremely excited!!
The Greubel Forsey event in Sydney I heard was amazing!
Your friend acquired a wonderful piece of art, congrats to him!! Thanks for the comment and all the best to you
Fantastic vid will be saving this....thank you
Great, please do!! Thanks
So good, been looking forward to it all day! This is as important as the great BBC George Daniels film from 30 years ago
That makes us extremely proud, thanks so much!!!
Thank you Marc!!
Making bright days
out of darkness ;)
What a display of
human craftsmanship.
Mesmerizing.
So very happy you like it
Fantastic ! It's easy to forget when one is watching this on the computer screen how small all of these watch components are it's truly amazing to see the work and artistry that goes into the making of these incredible machines for your wrist , wonderful stuff ! Thanks and greetings from the west coast of Canada !
Thanks and yes this is real micro engineering!!
What an excellent series this is shaping up to be! Thank you so much Marc!
Very glad you like it, thanks
I always kind of got why the expensive stuff is so expensive, aside from brand names, heritage and all of that, but sometimes it still didn't add up. Now it makes complete sense. Incredible.
There’s so much involvement and time spent on beauty and all this comes at a price at some point indeed. All the very best to you
The last 10% of refinement and finishing to absolute dimensions is probably 90% of the time involved.
And that's how a hand-made and hand assembled watch is made.
Absolutely 👍👍👍
Excellent work, congrats!
Thank you! Fascinating work and modern pieces of art. Although out of reach for many, I can appreciate from afar.
And don't worry, we too ;)
Simplement magnifique,la montre elle même et la vidéo.merci
Merci pour ce commentaire, très apprécié 🙏
As with the other video, really enjoyed this.
Happy about this, thanks
Will there still be watchmakers of this caliber in say another 30 years?... I could at least only certainly hope so. And greetings from Brooklyn NY.
Hi there and we certainly hope so too!! All the best
Just the idea of making a screw that size....I've "screwed" up cleaning a bolt with a die on a 10mm size....that one screw is a fraction of that. Mind blowing.
😉
Une manufacture de Haute horlogerie comme on les aime!!! C'est magnifique bravo !
Merci à vous et en effet un projet incroyable et magnifique
Beautiful!!! This is why i study watchmaking.
Nice 👍👍👍
And bravo to you!
Incredible project and great video! Maybe for Hand Made 2 they can drop the use of Solidworks and do EVERYTHING by hand? 😁
Had asked them about this, but would have made things very lengthy and for the team the real value was in the manufacturing processes
To my knowledge, they're using Inventor
Nice expert eye ;)
I’m speechless
👍
nice watch
May I suggest to look at Roger Smith's videos, especially his case making ....still on a different level of hand made.
Something to be done, count on us 👍
Thanks!
Always welcome 🙏
Colourful stream. Perhaps Watches TV should think of branded caps n t-shirts for fans. We'll proudly wear them around town
c'est juste incroyable...
Merci
i wonder if there will be a part 3...
Will be there tomorrow 👍
@@watchestv-com thank you!!..
Cool!!!
Glad you liked it 👍👍👍
Beautiful craftsmanship - beautiful work - but what are we looking at? A watch! I buy my watches and carry them to look at them and read the time - if there is so much of everything going on that I can't read the time - well why in the world would I want something like that and carry it around with me? It is all about time and being able to read time, every thing else is craftsmanship - design - beauty of the object - but I have never had someone ask me "How beautiful is your watch now I think I'm late"
Dizzying human focus and accomplishment!
they're using those grinding, polishing machines without facemask or respirator to reduce the inhalation of mental dusts.
why is delayed?
Hahahaha, good one 👍
I couldn't make the simple piece or do the smalles task there.
little hard for non french speaking viewers to digest because of all the studio visual stimulation
I understand so you’ll have to look at it a few times 😉
