    The 2nd highest level flex is knowing how many hours and people and time it took to make your watch. The only higher flex is having the watch and being ignorant of those details.

    Never thought I'd see the Handmade 1 on your channel but I couldn't be more overjoyed, especially with the detailed, extensive, and exhaustive insight into the hyper haute finishing explained wonderfully Tim!
    This is my favourite Greubel Forsey timepiece of all time, followed by the Balancier Contemporain.
    However both the new Tourbillon 24 Secondes Architecture and Handmade 1 are now the two new halo pieces of the GF catalogue 😍🔥

    Definitely a watch with a soul. It may be nade using very traditional methods but thankfully they did not go for the Geneva stripes type of finish which is a tired cliché.

      Their sport models retail at nearly that number, this is likely double or more. Secondary market isn't really possible to know, but gf super high end usually sells at a big discount, but don't know if that is the case with this.

    OK, it was made by hand. It took a long time (not surprisingly). It was made using old techniques you hardly ever see anymore. The obvious question is...why is any of this the least bit desirable?!?! It's like Ford announcing the re-issue of the Model T, at a price 10X higher than a modern car. The watch buying public is spectacularly gullible.

      Because this is craftsmanship of the highest quality. This isn't something disposable, this is something to be treasured, made using skills that take decades to master. Nevermind the cost of the materials themselves, the real value is in the work that went into shaping and sculpting something so intricate into the very best incarnation it could be.

      By extension of this logic, everyone should own Casio watches and IKEA furniture. This type of artistry and craftsmanship is the essence of luxury goods- just at the high end of the spectrum. To have found this video, I presume you’re into luxury watches; the segment doesn’t end at mass-produced, machined Explorers & Speedmasters and in fact there’s potentially more relative value in a truly rare, truly handcrafted watch
