I had a dream once where Jack and Tim debated each other; it was like Superman and Batman fighting. What you’ve done here is even better: you’ve joined forces as the World’s Finest team. Fanboys rejoice!
Aren’t we lucky as watch enthusiasts to witness such an incredible partnership between these two gentleman? Cheers to the watchbox for all they have taught us over the years.
OMG yes! With Jack AND Tim WB has reached a whole new level. The experience and knowledge here is monumental, I love that these two giants were given the spotlight instead of a tray of watches. There are many Greubels, Tim and Jack are one of a kinds. Thank you! As for GF, this was a great discussion because it's hard to rationalize their pricing or appreciate their work without deeper discussion. I actually think the recent non tourbillon watches are a significant piece to the GF story. It's a little like Jurassic Park, Robert and Stephen stood on the shoulders of geniuses and took the next step with the multi axis tourbillons 😂 but the naissance d'une montre which lead to the signature 1 and handmade 1 are a return to basics and seeking excellence through foundational mastery. It is like they've come full circle, from achieving most complex of watches to now finding appreciation for simplicity and mastering their own balance wheels and hairsprings.... A little like De Bethune. Now as the Calce era begins, they can build up from a new foundation with the non-tourbillion movements. I would love to see a tourbillon made with their in house large balance wheel, like a hand made 1 but not hand made.... for people on a budget. It would be great to do a session like this on De Bethune. In the same way GF needs a deeper discussion to be appreciated, De Bethune can also be difficult to understand, especially on the design side. In particular, some of the early design inspirations from Zanetta and intentional connection between space and time and watches might help people understand the aesthetic not as star trek inspired but something more meaningful and philosophical.
Wonderful video. Shot beautifully with two titans of watch knowledge and experience. Thank you ever so much really enjoyed this. Just because a watch brand will never be affordable it doesn’t mean I can’t enjoy hearing about watchmaking from one of the best watchmaking teams out there
Greubel, Habring, K Klaus, A Pellaton, Johann Vogel, all IWC folks. Interesting and great show. Hope you guys cover a wide range of brands/issues. Thanks.
double balance convex is my fav watch in the world,,,,,, damn you mosso for showing me that which i will never own. and thanks too cos its soooooo nice
Has anyone ever done any tests with a tourbillion where you compare the rates as normal against the rates of the same watch with the tourbillion "knocked out", perhaps with the removal of a driving gear or something?
Not a fan of this set, the black background looks like it’s trying way too hard. Prefer the more laid back sets like the usual ones. Great episode though
Talking about what a tourbillon in a wrist watch, is like how every Batman movie needs to show Bruce Wayne’s parents getting shot in a ally…we don’t need that origin story everytime 😅
Hey wanna fund the education of like 10 kids, their food, and healthcare for the next decade? Nah, I wanna buy a really shiny watch that's less accurate then a Casio.
Tim, you know I got love for you…. 🫡 … but seeing BIPOC on these high production shows is like finding a Submariner at retail price. The video was interesting and well produced. - King Lux 🤴🏾

When 2 knowledge houses meet, there is a lot to learn. Thnx you both, hope this is the beginning of a lot of episodes

The 2 most awesome watch nerds on the planet, finally joining forces. I cannot believe Watchbox made this happen. What a treat!
Love this format. The two giants of the watch world, together, talking watches! Awesome. I want more!
Always a delight to listen to Tim and Jack talk watches. Incredible to imagine how much knowledge is shared between them. Can’t wait to see more!
What a time to be a “fly on the wall” during this conversation. Great video!
Unbelievable erudition and eloquence with these two.
The "Dream Team"!!!! Please, please, please, keep up the good work!!!

Incredible. Absolutely incredible video. We are so lucky to have both of these guys in the watch world - they're the Messi and Ronaldo of the space.
This is what would happen if John Nash and Rain Man ever came in contact with one another. I mean this as a compliment BTW. Brilliant discussion!

Listening to this in Nacka Forum, Stockholm on my vacation. Terrific video, gents!
Greubel, Habring, K Klaus, A Pellaton, Johann Vogel, all IWC folks. Interesting and great show. Hope you guys cover a wide range of brands/issues. Thanks.
Bravo, you gentlemen are truly “Icons of time”.
Great talk and great production value. Greubel Forsey is fascinating.
You can tell they are both inspired to be collaborating together.
I'm always amazed by the ingenuity and brilliance that goes into mechanical movements to make them as accurate as a $20 quartz.
😅
Fantastic! Thanks Tim and Jack for your insights! I look forward to more of the same.
Thank you guys for this new series !!
The set reminds one of sitting upon a ventilation grate on the Death Star.
This was unbelievably good.
Top notch content
double balance convex is my fav watch in the world,,,,,, damn you mosso for showing me that which i will never own. and thanks too cos its soooooo nice
Is this the horological Justice League ???Because I’m all for it
Two of the very greats at it ! 😊
They build absolutely amazingly stunning watches. Just spectacular
This is the NY times of watch conversation while other channels bring the Post to mind
Please do one of these on FPJ
Here's a case where 1+1=5.
Thank you guys.
Hope all this talk about Greubel shifts the focus and attention away from FP Journe a bit and I’ll move further up the waitlist at Journe.
Well at least you can put yourself on one.

Love it

Is Jack not wearing a watch in this video?

You do not wear a GF. You are transformed to the ethos of wearing a timepiece.
Jack forgot to wear a watch. 😂
The ostentatious propotions are subsiding but still keeping their distinctive DNA, at GF.
By hand = still need tools!
These are the few watches I will never own. Please help me go fund me to buy more Rolex
Chins up matey!
Not a fan. I’m sure movements are amazing, finishing is stunning, and design is unique…BUT, THE TOTAL PACKAGE IS SO UGLY.

You’re not wrong…
