    entrepreneur who saved many companies and whose I love to listen his lectures and interviews on UA-cam:). Watch is on titanium bracelet and its just looks mindblowing on wrist. Truly amazing watch . No better price for titanium case and bracelet, two independent movements, in house movement and skeleton. Just love it.

      that is true but the finishing would be done by hand. the only few reasons a patek or AP is expensive is their hand finishing. because the movements are amazing but not much better than JLC and JLC makes incredible watches forunder the 15k

    This is what fascinates me with mechanical watches, the movements are just so clever, all three of these watches are stunning in what they achieve, take it further and add an annual calendar or a perpetual calendar and you have ask yourself how is this magic happens. I am in awe of what can be achieved without a battery, or a chip, or a circuit board, just springs, levers, wheels and cogs make time tick by whilst we sit mesmerized by what is going on in front of our eyes. I have no idea how long these watches will continue to be made but I hope for many centuries to come that way future generations can view these magical machines in action. Awesome video thank you.
