  • Andrew visits the Bovet watch manufacture, located within the Castle of Môtiers in the canton of Neuchâtel, Switzerland, to get a first-hand experience of what it feels like to commission a bespoke watch from the House of Bovet. After highlighting his favourite moments of watching the completion of the watch in-house from A-Z, Andrew meets with Bovet Fluerier SA Owner Pascal Raffy, as any of their clients would, to be presented with the final watch. They then get to the core of what Bovet is about, and what true luxury is.

    Lovely to see taking an idea from scratch and receiving the watch at the Bovet home with two centuries of history.

    One of the best videos I've watched on UA-cam. Great work Andrew.

    ❤ I'm truly moved by the depth and integrity showcased in this video, highlighting Pascal Raffy's profound philosophy and his generous spirit at Bovet. Raffy's embodiment of values and principles not only elevates the art of watchmaking but also serves as a beacon of inspiration. This piece isn't just a testament to the craftsmanship of Bovet but also a reflection of the noble ethos that guides their journey. Raffy's stewardship and heartfelt engagement with both his craft and his guests resonate deeply, offering a vivid reminder of the beauty in genuine connection and the pursuit of excellence. Personally, I am immensely honored to own exquisite pieces from Bovet, which adds a profound sense of pride and privilege to my experience.

    This type of storytelling is what makes T&T the best watch channel. I feel like you guys really stepped things up with the last few videos.

    Bovet is the company (and their piece the Orbis Mundi) that got me into watches. I didn't know they could be like that. There's a lot to discover in the watch world but personally nothing will ever come close to Bovet. I'll never be able to afford one but to appreciate them the story and their work like this is a joy, thanks for posting

    Awesome to see a video about one of my favourite watch brands. I visited the House of Bovet last year and it was an experience like no other before. It was just mindblowing to see all the different crafts and the love to detail.

    This is the best, most emotional watch making video I've ever seen - I just got my first Bovet a few weeks ago and I have fallen madly in love with the brand. Thank you so much for your amazing work!

    Congratulations Andrew, among the very best walks into and through an immersive and privileged horological experience. At some level it’s not just about the means but about the appreciation and passion for the best works of art, science, and love that we can make with our hands. And it is a shame we can only hit that thumbs up only once.

    • @Timeandtidewatches

    Overwhelming. I think this Bovet story takes us to the heart of one's personal life journey and how best to capture it in a watch. Once upon a time, Hans Holbein did similar stuff for Kings and Queens - but not watches.

    • @Timeandtidewatches
      @Timeandtidewatches  6 місяців тому

      Yes, the tradition of handmade and bespoke timepieces is not usually for mere mortals! Andrew

    This is next level! You guys did such a good job bringing us on a journey with just the right amount of story telling, engineering, philosophy, everything. Really superb editing, pacing, and flow to give us that sense of thr Bovet experience. Out of curiosity which are the 10 brands that make their own hairsprings?

    • @Timeandtidewatches
      @Timeandtidewatches  6 місяців тому

      Off the top of head - Rolex (parachrom), H Moser (they supply to many indies and others), Swatch Group (nivarox), Bovet, Lange, Valfleurier (supply Richemont)

    Absolutely beautiful. Heritage in and of itself is is useless. When a genuine watchmaker allows you to become a part of that heritage it makes it tangible.

    One of the best manufacture vids I've seen to date. Not hyperbole. The choice of brand, incredible settings in castles, photography, and sequences start to finish. This was extremely entertaining. And now I want an OttantaSei more than ever. Nicely done.

    • @Timeandtidewatches
      @Timeandtidewatches  6 місяців тому

      That's very kind of you to say, especially if you've watched a few manufacture videos. They're actually not super easy to craft, as there's a lot of technical information. Appreciate you taking the time - Andrew

    They are so beautiful. It’s a shame they are able to make so few each year. I know it is part of the exclusivity but the world needs as much of this level of excellence as it can get.

    • @Timeandtidewatches

      Part of the beauty is the scarcity I would say - so few Bovet owners and wearers in the world - Andrew

    when you’re sick of the hype - watch a video where a chap compares seeing a watch being built as the equivalent of seeing his children’s first ultrasounds :D sorry but you’ve took the p**s out of less than that before

      It’s a magical part of the process is the point - and maybe why we still love watches as more than machines, they have a heartbeat - not taking the piss on any level, the awe is real - Andrew
