I'm privileged enough to live in Vaud, close enough to Le Brassus and Le Chaux de Fonds that I've cycled through there many times.... And having gone past these legendary buildings, it strikes me to comment on the total lack of ostentation. There's no flashy signs, no massive gates and displays shouting and begging for attention. Even though it's obvious that there's real money there, it's a quiet and reserved type of wealth that more cloying brands always try to display outwardly. I've probably seen that AP workshop twenty times without it really getting into my head that inside are probably millions and millions of swiss francs of the world's greatest watches.
This is true brilliance in all its Swiss reservedness and privacy.
Lovely heritage of handcrafts.
What a Brand, what a Maison, what a pinnacle of Human Capability and Ability!!!
RESPECT...🙌🙌🙌
Wow...loved the Royal Oak the watchmaker was wearing...
Can’t wait for the comments on saying it’s only royal oak nowadays, why is there so much negativity under these Hodinkee videos? This is beautiful and you wouldn’t get to see it otherwise
MrWIWARD tell me about it. If I were told I could only own one watch it would be the 15202st. No doubt about it. Love it to death. Love AP
from what I can see is that they're building up to announce a new dress watch line!
This is exactly what I was thinking.
Best Video you have ever Made
Nice tour of Audemars Piguet Tourbillon workshop.
Amazing! If they ever make a cinematic release, I'm buying tickets for this blockbuster
I wonder how much life insurance AP takes out on these makers
AP - Always Prosper ✌️
Same for Patek please 👍🏼
Andy Slinn i was thinking the same
I think this is a sponsored video
Patek Philippe is light years beyond Audemar Piguet and every other watchmaker in history!
Oohhh this is so interesti..... and it's over.
unbelievable!
Trying to sell something more than just Royal Oak. Maybe some day.
Amazing 😍
This should hAve been a 5 part series. 30min each
Longer please !!!!
Bookshelves with Patek books
Notice the Patek Philippe book at 4:32. I like that
J’aime Audemars Piguet
4:33 ça me rend fou de rire de voir le livre de Patek derrière dans une vidéo à AP ! you know why.
@0:53 can someone please tell me what the desktop flexible lamp / magnifiers are (make and model) ? I need one! they seem to have a logo in lower right corner. not sure if they have a mag feature as well as brilliant light?
What's up with the South Korea and Taiwan flags at 4:25?
The watches are actually Taiwanese manufactured. The Workshops in Switzerland are just a facade.
proof? @@summerrr1
After this I went on Grailed to try to find those AP shirts lol
Is there a talking watches ep where the guest has an A Lange and Sohne?
👏👏👏
It’s crazy that considering the price they don’t keep great time.
Just saw this video. These watches are adult toys. Telling the time is not really the reason why these watches exist. We now use cellphones, smartwatches to tell time.
What ref is that at 4:37 ?? It is beautiful and so thin for a royal oak!
Should be a vintage jumbo roal oak
15202ST.OO.1240ST.01
При работе не люблю когда над душой стоят...... Турбийон все таки для карманных часов, там баланс все время в статике.
This what separates Audemars Piguet, from the rest of the Watch World! Passion and perfection, truly amazing Haute Horology at the highest possible level! The ones who own a Audemars Piguet, are truly fortunate and blessed!
I just saw this video, and disagree with you. Micro High horology brands like Andreas Strehler, Armin Strom, Czapek, DeBethune, Gronefeld, Grebel Forsey, Gronefeld, FP Journe, Laurent Ferrier ( to name a few ) have equaled, or arguably exceeded AP in exclusivity, craftsmanship, and complexity. History, & marketing is the only thing now that leaves a gap ( shrinking) between the Holy Trinity, and the micro brands. High horology brands have grown thanks to advances in computer software, materials available, & precision machining tools. ( All the high end brands have similarly skilled craftsman to assemble & fine finish the watches )
Bring back talking watches..
Just to think a twenty dollar Casio quartz watch from Wal-Mart will run for a minimum of ten years on it's battery and only loss + or- five to ten seconds per month. When these Audemars must been wore to keep main spring wound and losses sixty to two hundred forty seconds per month and some time much more and cost a minimum of twenty two thousands dollars. Which watch could anyone say is the real timepiece!
Way too short.
Jesus Christ, Hodinkee, please step up your game.
works of art soon to be a bust down on your favorite rapper...sad
fantastic video but Jesus the mispronunciation of tourbillon man that through me for a loop.
First
Best Video you have ever Made
