This still is my favorite WFC format, revealing to us the outer limits of watchmaking. The videography, narrative and delivery remain peerless. Thanks, and happy holidays and best wishes for the new year to you and the WFC team, Andrew.
An eclectic fun bunch of watches I like Hodinky Berkus watches. Nothing else out there like them. Super cool watchmaker too I like the story and drive behind felipe’s work as well. The most impressive story has to be that Korean kid who built his own watch from scratch Nice
BB54 is my favourite release of 2023 its absolutely beautiful remake of tudors first ever vintage diver an exquisitely stylish 37mm timepiece packs a big wrist presence considering its size,with its beauty and simplicity tudors newly crowned number 1 imo😊
Btw you forgot to mention the new black and gold mr01!!!! The black is glossy and the polished numerals are pvd gold 👀👀👀 I still prefer my salmon (beige) dial, but the new mr01 is a killer option too. ❤
Now this is a fascinating video. One of your best in fact. It is fantastic to know that there really are watchmakers still making timepieces not marketed at the gullible status jockeys looking for next mainstream offering to show off to their friends. These timepieces are made with love!
I'm a fan of Ludwig Oechslin, but my favourite design in this video is the Lyrique. And, just to tease You a bit, I bought a watch with a Harley Ronda microrotor-movement last year for 60,- €.
11. Whatever it is ressence are doing. Oil filled, mechanical magnet stuff. 12. That VC pocket watch that has just about every complication you can think of, is the size of a hockey puck and weighs almost a kilo. 13. Did you know F.P. Journe has a chronograph that can measure 1/100 of a second and has a mainspring that can unwind in two directions?
I like your channel ver much and this is another Great video, but your pronunciation of "Czechia" (the shortened name of the Czech Republic) sounds more like "Chechnya", which is clearly a different country 😉 Plus, you made it sound a bit like he lives in a cave😅 Yes, he lives in a village but close to a big city. Anyway, that's just nitpicking, great video, regardless.
I don’t think Calatrava watches are “mostly machine made”! Movements in basic Calatrava models are finished not to the same level as in complicated models, but still hand finished.
I’ve been singing the praises of Felipe Pikulik for over a year now. The dude’s bevels and engraving are incredible and for $15-20K you can afford nearly everything he makes.
Pikullik is an Instagram hype-phenomenon, nothing more. All of his watches lack detail, finesse and, most importantly: an understanding of aesthetics. Don‘t trust the hype.
WARNING HOT TAKE: 7:20 this stuff looks terrible I’m sorry to say. Clearly made by someone who’s learning on the job, basically the equivalent of tattoo apprentice, someone who gives your first tattoo for free and you’re super happy with it in the moment but 5 years later when you know little bit more about it you regret it 😂

How damn cool are watchmakers? They bring us so much joy with their genius.
Always wished I could learn. Unfortunately, I have shaky hands and fat fingers, lol.

I'd add the watch designs of Otsuka Lotec of Japan. A one-man shop.
Best thing about Bill Sanders starting a Swiss watch brand is that Bill will now correctly pronounce one Swiss watch brand.
😂
You ain’t lying! It’s part of his charm though!
I totally agree with H.Moser
Absolutely absolutely love how you present the horology world to us, and it's exceptional.

That Chinese watch is absolutely UNREAL!
My Eterna Madison has a rectangular movement, the Caliber 3501.
Great video! I'm hoping to find a Baltic MR01 or Hermatique under the tree this Christmas
Baltic makes really nice stylish watches for the price
Really really excellent! How about the Top 10 Watches you want to review, but haven"t?
Wow, Andrew this is why you are the best ❤

Those some beautiful timepieces.
Great video
Those are incredible watches. I’m not certain which is my favourite.

What is the name of the music playing in the background? Anyone please.
The black hole so unique
afford one! Keep up the excellent work.
I dont know, what you said 0:42 , but Berkus is from Czech Republic. Thx. Otherwise great work you do with the channel.

great vdo!!!
Tudor is just hype
Yes! Thank you. Just like the other brand
The le Dome from Radcliffe, for a very cost effective bit of funn

only 15K? wow

Youve sold me on ophion that is unbelievable. Literally fucking unbelievable.
it looks like it'd cost 100k
For me, the Behrens seems pretty cheap for what it is!
That minhoon watch is $18,000 USD. That's a bit crazy.
The Baltic is stunning and what? Only $600?
A Chinese watch costing $13000 is a rare bird but much more common I suspect is a Swiss watch with many Chinese parts costing a similar amount.
Hublot😅
Like it or not but the Ochs Und Junior Annual Calendar is genius. Unfortunately, like the conceptual art of Sol LeWitt, no one cares.
👍
Surprised to see that Tudor with a Rolex seconds hand instead of the Tudor snowflake.
"Simple," not "simplistic."
The Apple Watch isn’t a real watch because it watches you.
"Czechia" is pronounced CHEH-khiyah or CHEK-iyah - with a k, not a ch, in the middle.
Only 3 percent of subs watched this vid, whats up?
2:44 that watch is actually cool.. Too bad it won't be taken seriously because it's from china
Amish friendly😂😂 great video!
