    I really appreciate his creativity. The Black Hole would be a dream watch!

    The diction in scriptwriting, the narration, the careful, smooth videography, the whole attention to detail matches the craftsmanship of the watchmaker. This is beauty to my eyes and ears. A perfect advertisement certainly not needed but certainly deserved. Thank you.

      Good old Czechs. Whenever they come to Croatia they do most craziest things. They see a huge hill and decide they will climb it with barren feet, speedos and a towel around their neck. They are sleeping on their luftie and see the island in the distance, they just go to that isle like if they have a boat. This guy is making watches the same way. He thinks craziest stuff and just runs forwards.

    This is what I call a watch making. This is what I call a video making. This is why I come to youtube in the first place. The artist talking about the real artist who makes art better than the art itself.

    I wasn't aware of Ondrej Berkus' timepieces until this video. I have to say, I think they're some of the nicest looking watches I've seen. I _love_ the un-overpolished, "rustic charm" approach. Love it. I'll dust down my piggy-bank and get saving, I think!
    Great video, as ever! Thanks for introducing me to Mr Berkus' fine work.

    As an old soul, who works on an almost 100 yo printing press, i love to see the mechanicals of anything and everything, to be the main focus. The talent of this guy is on full display, and rightly so. So often today, it's all wires and batteries, and it's all hidden. Nothing better than seeing a very old tradition being kept alive. Beautiful pieces...

    The unfinished nature reminds me a bit of Valerii Danevych's wooden watches. This is a guy who spend over a decade reviving the wooden watchmaking techniques of the Bronnikov family and is the only person who is making them in series.

    Watches of this calibre are out of my price range but I always enjoy the exquisite work in displaying them, I’ve not seen any better “reviews” ever, describing the intricacies and nuances involved in the core production and finishes. This is the first video where it hasn’t just been hands talking so that was interesting.
    Keep up the great work!

  • @darienkinne1347
    @darienkinne1347 Рік тому

    There is a slightly rough quality to how the watches are finished. Small imperfections which speak to the lack of design software, and precision milling. Its an endearing quality, and i find these watches absolutely incredible.

    No idea how I stumbled on this clip. Not even a fan of wristwatches. I do not dump the term "work of art" for manufactured industrial products, hand made or otherwise. But the watches this man makes are by all means works of art, and I, a person who doesn't care at all for watches, would love to own one, as impossible as it may be.

  • @itoldunot2fuckwithme
    @itoldunot2fuckwithme 11 місяців тому

    As a trained WOSTEP watchmaker I can assure anyone watching that this is hard. Really really hard. Just skeletonizing a generic movement proportionately so that it looks good and then finishing it nicely is no easy task at all. I remember my first time beveling, pressure polishinging and then satinizing a going train plate (bridge) by hand. One little tiny slip and I would have had to start all over on a new plate. 7-8 hours of work gone in the blink of an eye. So if you´ve ever wondered why a really beautiful skeletonized movement costs so much now you know. This guy is really cool and thanks to Wf for letting us all see this.
