As a watchmaker this is like a wet dream. That box is gorgeous. The blower (bellows) is definitely my favorite! It looks so nice especially when compared to the crappy rubber ones everyone makes!
I always get second hand excitement from your videos, Marc! It’s great to learn about the various things in the watchmaking industry that are not directly the watches themselves. Like the one where you visit a lab that works on high magnification lens technology.
...."the smallest of which can be used to adjust hairsprings, IF you are courageous enough to do that by yourself..." I laughed then stopped abruptly. That's when the raw truth of that simple sentence hit me. 😆 Great vid!
I would personally love to have it without any intention of pretending being a watchmaker, i would simply love to touch these tools once in a while, just for the nice sensation ;) i know, i may sound a bit crazy, but don’t worry, all good 👍
For the cost of this toolbox you could put yourself and four other people through watchmaker school, and supply all the tools and materials they would need (just not tools like these ones). I find the screwdrivers in this set particularly annoying - they can not be dressed with a flat stone. I dress my tools several times a week, and while my tools are not as lavish as these, they are much broader in scope (I have a lot more tools to do lots more tasks, and which didn't cost anything like what these ones do).
@@Chris_the_Muso As I indicated, they would not be of any practical use but are just an impressive and expensive display As with many wristwatches produced at the present time.
Love that watch tool box, no chance of loosing a screwdriver or two. If you are not going to use yours then I will have it and send you a photo so you can just look at it 😉🤣🤣🤣
Truly stunning toolbox! A rich watchmakers dream! Althought it is still equipped with pretty basic tools, it is clearly not for me :-) A custom tool for closing a watch or setting a cristal would have been nice too, or a beautiful and unique huit-chiffre, achevage, poising tools or custom oil tools... or a small toolset with rounded india stones for working these rounded screwdriver heads. Or a custom set of microfibres with personalized names, or laserengraved tools with my own initials etc.. I see this box in a showroom or as a artpiece, but not in a practical enviroment. I would rather see a bigger, bit beefier toolbox with 3 layers in a more practical, rugged pelican case, with even more tools and customizable stuff inside. Imagine, if the box itself could be a calibrated watchtester with microfone and small display? Great video as always marc! 👋 thanks for that! Viva watchmaking!
Thanks so much for this super insightful comment and am pretty sure everything is customizable 😉 but really appreciate that you shared this with us and indeed VIVA WATCHMAKING ✌️✌️
And only made to order, as is all the tools made by Petitpierre. I can tell you that the «tournevis dynamométrique» alone is over 500 CHF and has a lead time of seven weeks.
I know, doesn’t come cheap but it’s a piece of art by itself. I know i might sound exaggerating a bit, but that box is really a beauty to look at 😉 best to you 👍
Rolex have one only purchasable by their Authorized Dealers and the screw drivers appear to have around 5 colour coded pre-set torque bodies and colour coded heads for different sizes screws. I presume there must be a data sheet on each model regarding the bracket link screws: Which colour coded head to use on which colour coded screwdriver body of specific pre-set torque. Counter-intuitively they include superglue in the box or the equivalent that some watch dealer You Tubers have disclosed: David Khalil of Mayfair London used/ pre-owned ‘Watchcollectors’ A screw fixing compound used on link screws so they don’t unscrew automatically and you lose the watch. This is supposed to be why Patek Philippe appear to use the force fitted pins and sleeves in Nautilus bracelets which don’t feature individual screws for the links. I have also seen on a NYC Authirised Dealer a photo of a small laser powered tool/ jig holding a link whilst it is heated to melt the screw fixing compound, which is apparently available in different strengths and from Loctite. It is why you should only get your watch from an Authorized Dealer who will have all the required tools to remove links and size the brand new watch.
That or human nature is very finicky and people will pay for what they perceive to be worth the price. Same goes for watches, fountain pens, sports cars, and so on.
@@blargvlarg1390 As a maker of precision things if I spend months making something because of my passion, and someone is willing to pay my asking price.... that is the only thing it is about. The maker of an object defines its true value, not the person perceiving its value. Only after it passes from the makers hands does the "market of perceived value" come into play. Two words... Rolex Daytona And I would happily part with my $20K US for these tools if only I had the budget.
@@groundzero6662 Not sure I get what you mean. In a transaction, both parties would have to agree to a price. One where the seller is wiling to sell, and the buyer is willing to buy. I understand the "true value" increases proportionately with the quality and craftsmanship, but it is not quantifiable and is very subjective. The makers may set whatever price they want, but the "true" price is decided on by the paying customers.

Totally get you and i liked your image 😉😉 made me laugh
I want one of this masterpieces. Greatness.

Thanks so much and it really makes me happy that you like seeing a different side of this wonderful industry 👍 the very best to you
Congratulations Olivier. Nice seeing you again. It is only on screen but nevertheless it’s pleasure. You André as well.
Many thanks! And the very best to you
Marc, simply marvelous, you can put in a space capsule for the distant future and generations to come! All the best!
That's a great idea! The best to you
love your work
Thanks so much, love doing it 👍👍
Nice video mate 🥃
Indeed goes probably very well with a nice little glass next to it, a proper filled one of course 😉
ive never even opened a watch and i want this
Totally get you, you’re comment made me immediately laugh because i feel so much the same! I just want it 😍
Absolutely awesome 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Glad you liked it and yes a total dream to have!!!

Very nice and beautifully presented set - an ideal prop for someone who imagines that they are a real watchmaker!

@@watchestv-com Yes they are just too good to use. For exhibition only I think... but I wouldn't mind the torque screwdriver.

Which watch did you wear at 3:35? Looks kind of like my vintage Junghans
Hello and this is a vintage late 1940's Bovet chronograph, really love it! Best to you

Only $20k! What a trifle! Stocking stuffers for the kids!!
God Damn!!!!
Nicely summarised ;)
I want that more than life itself….
😂😂😂 please stay with us, but i understand fully the sensation, so so so sexy
How can I buy it in India
$21,100.00 USD in case you were wondering. 😉
Yes, that's the harsh reality ;)
And only made to order, as is all the tools made by Petitpierre. I can tell you that the «tournevis dynamométrique» alone is over 500 CHF and has a lead time of seven weeks.
awesome
Thanks 🙏🙏🙏
Not a watchmaker, but this is beautiful all the same!
I have the Rolex ref.1074 bracelet kit. Certainly not as high of quality but still cool. Looking to sell it as a matter of fact.
I come to watches through micromechanics because I operate Swiss-type machine tools in my "real" life. What Karston said.
Nice, but I think I'd ruther go for a Patek instead. ;-)
😂😂😂 you guys are really making me crack up tonight, thanks so much for the humour but i do get your point 👍
Now I consider that Bergeon tools are for the poor people.
It's only 16,000 GBP or 21,000 USD

Marketing.. A stunt. Dont try to tell me otherwise.
No, these guys are just crazy about what they do, kind of another world I agree nonetheless!!

A bewitching toy kit for semi grown ups....
