... ... ... ... ... You're very intelligent and I love the quality you put into EVERY BIT of this production. It's an absolute pleasure to watch your Wednesday videos.
Great video! Would've loved if you had talked a bit more about Longines, though. They're an incredibly old company (probably swatch's oldest second to Breguet) with a lot of heritage.
I enjoyed the video, especially the earlier years that I knew little about. I would love to see a video on the story of the Swatch Watch itself. Most people don't know that it's initial launch in the US was a failure in the US, before it was recreated with new creative leadership and a new focus on visual design and fashion. There's a lot of interesting pieces to the 5 years of the Swatch products and a lot of firsts that the brand created in the world of marketing.
Cool. Swiss Made made affordable with art that's their heritage and they make their own movements (ETA and another). Any link on the history of the first watch and who made that balance wheel spring combo. What was time keeping like before the spring, balance wheel and catchment? God bless, Proverbs 31
So I'm late to comment on this. Swiss watch making is now being eaten by the rise of smart watches - Apple now sells more watches than the entirety of the Swiss watch industry!
Clint W Don't overspend for your first one. There are some great affordable brands out there outside of Rolex, AP, Patek etc. Look into a Hamilton or definitely an Oris. Then as you learn more and make more you can move into Omega, Cartier and or Rolex etc.
You have NO RIGHT to come on here with your beautiful eyes, when I’ve not been adequately prepared to deal with the vapors. A warning sign at the start might’ve helped.
Excellent video, I found it very informative
Loved this video man! Well done!
Thank you Carl!
Kudos! As an academic - it's clear to me that you put in the hours on the research. Not often done. Cheers! Thank you!
Awesome recap of the long history, absolutely informative. Keep up the good work.
Thank you for sharing. I own several Swatches, some of them from the 80s and all of them work like a charm👍👏
Great video, Jon. What a rich history behind the Swatch Group!
Thank you! So much more I’d like to dive into
Great video! Louis Breget is actually a Swiss who went to work in Paris since his most important client were located there.

Great video. Well done!
You're well spoken. Very informative. Could listen longer. Good job
Very nice video ! Great work ;)
What a great overview
I was sent to this channel by the Theo and Harris channel. I'm not disappointed.
Welcome 🙂 I am more in focus over here 😉
This video about the history of the watch market/business was better than any of the videos from the watch experts on UA-cam.
Beil, locally pronounced(by German speakers) like Bee+Eel. I work about 200 yards from Omega's office there.
Great job
Very interesting and well collected information. Thanks!
I'd decrease the WPM as you're speaking way too rushed

Imagine Archieluxury (after a few beers) doing a similar video 😁
Also we have all SPL equipment in house online which brings relish small lab never losses
Is it just me or does Jehan-Jaques Blancpain remind you of Teddy Baldassare
Now could you please teach me world history the same way.
Abraham Louis Breguet is one of the 72 names inscribed on the Eiffel Towel..there is way more, but I'll leave you alone.

Starting to look at Swiss watches and maybe steer away from my Apple Watch when not at work.
I can’t get enough of TGV, he’s guided me into my watch enthusiasm

Do you have a Swatch?
I’ve eyed up a Sistem51 but nothing yet. Now my wife wants one...
SWATCH DOESN’T own Rolex!! And they ditched Calvin Klein recently, thank god...
who else is here bc of an Assignment?
hello my Consumer behaviour people
Smart didnt go anywhere ?
I thought ETA pronounced as Eeeeh - Taah, not abbreviate it
(OWE - MAY - GAH)
friendly fyi it's oh meh gah and not oh mee gah :)
Oh meeeeeee gah (lol)
there are some mistakes is this vidio
Apple Watch seems to be the major threat to Swatch coz' it's the hippest relatively affordable watch for Gen X to millenials.

Quartz movements are a cancer in the watchmaking industry.
