    Which watchmaker should we have on the channel in 2022?

    @davidhunternyc1 2 роки тому +26

    Ondřej is legit. You can tell he's an awesome guy and he's leary about too much success. He recognizes with great success comes great headache. He's a pure artist. Leave me alone to feed my horses. Wow, what a rare mentality indeed.

    Aww he is so humble, those are very cheap honestly, he is an incredible watchmaker, I loved he left imperfections in the watches so you can enjoy the perfection of the creation, unbelievable ❤️

    This interview is simply the most incredible I have seen so far. This watchmaker is amazing. And if, one day, I had to have ONE horological grail, it would be to have a watch, my ultimate watch, made by this gentleman.

    Hodinky - you should be charging 4x what you are. I'm completely blown away with your work. If someone like Kevin O'Leary ever saw your portfolio, he would move you into his house and keep you all for himself. Stunning!

    • @sainellore6874
      @sainellore6874 Рік тому +1

      I am willing to bet that this quirky genius of a watchmaker would rather be a slave to his horses than to sell out to crass capitalists like Kevin O'leary. At any price.

      I'm pretty sure he is able to finish them further but they somehow look like they should as they are. I mean he is a simple self-thought guy, with farmer's hands, manually producing watches from scratch, with very basic tools (I assume this one). I think his watches reflect him and should not be perfected further. He would probably be able to do that, but against his nature, you'd feel.

    This man does not take himself too seriously (I mean it in a good way: he is nice and humble) but he makes things in a very serious manner. 5 stars video. One of the best topic I have seen recently (and I have seen a lot..)

    Greetings Marko
    I love the passion of this man Ondřej Berkus it reminds me of the watchmaker R.W. Smith, who is a master of craft and finishing on his watches, I do hope these watches you show us are prototypes, in close-up the finishing is awful most of the screws are chewed up and there is is dust and debris everywhere, I love the overall concept of the Watchers but please can you confirm if I bought one it would be totally reworked and finished properly, otherwise it would have to be an R.W Smith watch for me, I'm totally aware of the fact that R.W.Smith watches of very expensive and match the expense in the finishing, I wish Ondřej Berkus all the very best hope he continues to innovate and improve and get better and better.

    I like what he's doing, how he grew and the ideas. If he wanna grow more and want to be a really really big name, he has to work perfect. On the first glance his watches look verry intresting. In the close up's you start seeing pieces that i didn't want to have if i buy a watch. Then that comes with the question, how long can a movement like this, which is not perfect, run and who is gonna service this watch when the shit hits the fan.
