The only more amazing than the place are the people. Just amazing to see how much they love what they do and how much they appreciate the history of the place. Fantastic episode.
Thanks for showing us this great museum as well as giving us such exclusive insights, Marc André! Beautiful camera work as well, thanks to the whole team! Keep up the great work! All the best from Germany
A lot of marketing/corporate hogwash, but that was to be expected. Beyond that, the visit was awesome, and what a wonderful place. Thanks a lot WatchesTV
Magnifique, merci beaucoup pour cette vidéo. Quel plaisir (et honneur) d'écouter Francisco, on sent un horloger passionné et extrêmement talentueux évidemment.
Super!! Great production. First I thought Michael Friedman is a marketing man, then suprisingly he is head of complications, wow! What a dream of working place in the restoration department... SIGH🤩🤩🤩
the energy and humbleness from Francisco (what a boss) really constrast with AP CEO ...maybe this approach would be much better Francois-Henry? great video guys!
Definitely on the itinerary next summer when I’m planning a motorbike trip through Europe with two buddies who work in heavy duty steel fabrication! This will blow their minds....what you can do with ultra tiny metal work!
wow what a wonderful video. I cant wait to visit the museum. The skeleton watch at the end in the document's room was astonishing, breathtaking. Thank you for showing us the beauty, passion and such modest expertise.
MAD - simply amazing. Major kudos abs huge thanks for this trip to horological Valhalla. Just a pleasure and one I know I will watch many times again. Stay well
Is it me, or from above it looks like a hairspring ? Stunning museum! Can't wait to visit it once they lift travel restrictions here in northern Italy !
Great video. Well done! Portions like Gerald Genta's expertise in ladies watch and Vacheron name on AP register are fascinating. A visit to this museum is defiently part of the dream list 🙏🏻
I recently received the Millennium Watch Book that I bought from you. It is a splendid read, and I saw you have contributed in it. I just wanted to use the opportunity to thank you for the great content you create - in social media and in print. It is a fucked up year, and your work allow us to enjoy beauty, which gives us hope and optimism. I hope soon this clusterfuck is over, and I can pass by your office in old town Geneva to thank you in person. I would come with the book for an autograph, but it is a big brick. Greetings from Pully.
@@user-zl2sc3bg3g I am happy in particular about this video because I was suppose to visit the museum early November but I decided to wait after the pandemic. As you know, visits had to be booked months in advance, but next year for sure.
Fantastic tour Marc! Nicely done. I would like to comment on each segment of the tour, but it was so awesome I can't make a preference. Nice production as well!!!
merci pour ce contenu fabuleux!!! Ce channel est définitivement mon préféré. Salutations du Québec, en attendant de pouvoir faire un tour dans la Vallée de Joux...
Wow really interesting, I ope one day I can go there myself, maybe with you as our guide, when all this pass, I really enoy the video as you say, all the best cheers Marc
the guy 23:47 is the real deal! not those clipboard warriors from before...he knows what he is taking about...not always that shiny...but good content! thanks
Very nice 'walk through', Thank you Marc and Co. Question: The Coin Watch wasn't shown in any detail. Was this to protect secrets? Being 'Down Under', I'm not able to personally visit these places, so thank you for going and 'taking us along with you'. I especially enjoyed the "Road Trip" series with the visit to Philippe Dufour, and the engraving workshop of Jean-Bernard Michel. Cheers Duncan
Why would you have to "prove" that the repeaters were based on the womans repeater pendant watches, it would seem quite obvious that they would base the wristwatch version on an already existent repeater movement. What else would you base it on?
@@MrCarGuy Indeed, i think you are absolutely right. Very astute, I didn't think of it that way. I was asking how could one "prove" that one idea was derived from another without having a document from the inventor declaring, "i based this invention on that prior model". I confess that I am not familiar with the methods of proof in sociology and therefore could be completely wrong. Lol
Kind of a sad museum really. Seeing all of their past achievements: what they made, how incredible those watches were. Coming into now what they are: the Royal Oak (let's face it AP would likely be nonexistent without it) and unable to design a watch enthusiasts actually want to buy (i.e. Code 11:59 disaster). Too bad. Excellent video as always, though.
so heartwarming listening to the watch restorer talk about his job
He’s indeed so passionate and one indeed truly feels that, thanks for the comment
Beautiful Watches, Beautiful Buildings & Brilliant Informative Video. Thank You.
Very appreciated comment, thanks so much 🙏🙏
Wow,I am totally lost for words.
And that makes us happy!

Very kind of you and indeed it’s a nice team effort, thanks a lot for this 👍👍
Those repeaters.. A must to see the museum in the future!
You will enjoy it, best to you
AP just keeps moving forward while staying in touch with their history. Excellent video. 👍🏼
Thanks 🙏🙏🙏
Now this is real education!
Practical
Timeless
Fulfilling
That Watch Restorer, am in awe!
A lot of marketing/corporate hogwash, but that was to be expected. Beyond that, the visit was awesome, and what a wonderful place. Thanks a lot WatchesTV
Many thanks and yes it’s quite inevitable ;)
AP has a long way to go when it comes to customer service
Actually one of their focus point
@@user-zl2sc3bg3g maybe only to their "vip" folks
The restoration department bit was so inspiring!
Magnifique, merci beaucoup pour cette vidéo. Quel plaisir (et honneur) d'écouter Francisco, on sent un horloger passionné et extrêmement talentueux évidemment.
Clairement de la passion avec ce grand monsieur 👍👍
Whaou great work bravo ! Even after working there for years and visiting the museum i still learnt a few things thanks to you ;-) Cheers
Ah that’s super cool to hear, really nice of you 🙏✌️✌️
Super!! Great production. First I thought Michael Friedman is a marketing man, then suprisingly he is head of complications, wow! What a dream of working place in the restoration department... SIGH🤩🤩🤩
That’s very nice of you and yes, Michael has a fantastic job ;)
Just fantastic vid. Thanks Marc Andre and team.
Thanks and you’re right this is a team effort. Best to you
Wow I really appreciate the traditional rooms too, just beautiful alpine style. Amazing work environment!
They fully restored these but keeping very true to the original, quality of material and so forth is all the way up there
I just took a small vacation. Thank you Marc and A.P.!
I just love this kind of videos, especially now with Corona crisis worldwide
Thanks and very happy you enjoyed it. It’s really a wonderful place 👍

That sounds like a great plan and you guys will love the mountain roads we have around here 👍👏👏

There’s some thinking behind all this for sure! Best to you

It indeed does 👍 and yes we all hope restrictions will “soon” get lifted once situation gets back to some normality
Great video. Well done! Portions like Gerald Genta's expertise in ladies watch and Vacheron name on AP register are fascinating. A visit to this museum is defiently part of the dream list 🙏🏻

Great video Marc, can’t wait to visit the museum soon.
Happy for you when you’ll do so, such a great place

You are very welcome to come 👍👍
thank you, it was fascinating!
Very welcome 🙏
the guy 23:47 is the real deal! not those clipboard warriors from before...he knows what he is taking about...not always that shiny...but good content! thanks
Great coverage. It'd be nice to see Audemars Piguet raise the bar on non complicated mechanical movements.
Great Video. appreciated
Thank you Marc and team for another great video! Very much enjoyed learning about AP.
Very glad you did, nice!!! Thanks
Seems like a fun museum. Bezel nuts and screws irritate me but still nice to see the evolution of the Royal Oaks.
It's really a gorgeous place!!! Best wishes to you
since i can't buy that watch i'll just watch..
There you go 😉
One of the fastest 38 min. a human can experience. Will visit this amazing museum.
Ah that makes us very happy, nice to hear and best to you
Great review!!!
Happy you liked it, thanks
the real AP behind the Royal Oak.
There’s indeed so much more than the RO!!!
Amazing !
Thanks!
German Gary Oldman has a pretty sweet job.
Indeed ;) 😂
9:00 imagine this guy guiding a kid's school tour through that museum
Very nice 'walk through', Thank you Marc and Co. Question: The Coin Watch wasn't shown in any detail. Was this to protect secrets?

Sweeet another awesome video!
Very nice of you 🙏🙏
Looks like the master restorer is wearing a smartwatch LOL
Excelente
Thanks 👍🙏
A lot of corporate blah, blah, blah-speak. But also a very cool place! A great video...
Well it happens but still very happy you enjoyed it 👍
The tour guide without the French accent is so articulate and slick he could sell bottled water to a drowning man 😂😂😂

Interesting comment and the very best to you
It's probably part of a wider narrative about the womens market driving innovation elsewhere. Likely for marketing points.
@@MrCarGuy Indeed, i think you are absolutely right. Very astute, I didn't think of it that way. I was
asking how could one "prove" that one idea was derived from another without having a document from the inventor declaring, "i based this invention on that prior model". I confess that I am not familiar with the methods of proof in sociology and therefore could be completely wrong. Lol
observation: How many of you got ads for "Watch of The Month Club"?
Kind of a sad museum really. Seeing all of their past achievements: what they made, how incredible those watches were. Coming into now what they are: the Royal Oak (let's face it AP would likely be nonexistent without it) and unable to design a watch enthusiasts actually want to buy (i.e. Code 11:59 disaster). Too bad.
Excellent video as always, though.
Thanks and the history of AP is indeed a very rich one, something one tends to forget today you're absolutely right!
can someone please tell me what the desktop flexible lamp / magnifiers are (make and model) ? I need one!
That american dude is a smooth talker
He definitely knows how to tell stories
@13:58 - That watch on the right.. Love the shape. What is it?
Sorry can't really answer this
19:04 what are the 2 pipe like devices hanging above the bench?
That have to be two bent pipes for vacuum and pressure intended to clean the watch parts.
💚❤💙
🙏🙏🙏
75% and 50%
its complicated to explain
😍🤑
👍👍
the bald guy is so loud
Who buys this crap?
