A true "Watch finder" video because I and most people from comments below have never heard of this company before and we are so glad you introduced it to us, also it is one of your finest video. Bravo!! In my opinion by far you guys the greatest watch channel.
I also bought one after watching this vid. I'm supposed to pick it up in person on May, 2023, and I'll just fly on vacations from Brazil to Germany with my wife to do so. They've told me it will be the first D&S in Brazil. I'm really happy in anticipation. 🙂
After a twelve month wait I have it on my wrist right now. The difference between internet pictures and the real life experience is profound; a beautiful bespoke timepiece worth the wait.
I can't stop binging these videos. They are like watching mini-documentaries. The relaxing and soothing narration, the riveting storylines, and the crisp cinematography. Incredible!
The more I get into watches, the more I discover that German watchmaking seems in many cases far more interesting than swiss watchmaking these days. There are many good stories and great smaller swiss brands, but they all seem to get drowned out by the mass popularity of Rolex, Patek, AP, etc. It's almost like German watchmaking is becoming what Swiss watchmaking once was.
@@DirtFather407 Are we looking at the same brands then? The vast majority of Swiss brands have been holding on to their heritage. It has been pretty much the German and Japanese watchmakers that have been driving innovative watches that aren't Jacob & Co level gimmicky.
Aromatic Snail and it’s not the only small German brand making that kind of quality for that price. Ironically, it’s the smallest manufacturers, which you would think would be more expensive than big companies with Big Machinery, which offer the best value for money.
check out DEKLA its like a poor man version of these guys. german, but instead of brass they use pure silver for the dials, and some custom options. like blued hands in house or solid gold hands etc. all in house except base movements from eta pocket watch. 1000 bucks. they remind me of this brand
Unbelievable. I cannot believe that such an amazing hand crafted piece of art commands such a small price. Compared to the big dealers, I'd be asking about one of these in a heartbeat.
@@zelphx Small is subjective considering most mass produced watches are as or more money (aside from a few models). But yes you would be correct most people would say out of context that isn't small
Even though I can't afford one of those masterpieces I just ordered a catalogue and it came with a hand written card with greetings on it. This company is absolutely stunning. If I could afford one I'd buy one of there base models immediately, that's a no brainer🙏👌
My wait was a year and a half for the 99.6 mondphase. Every picture and video motivated me to make the purchase but the different in person is astonishing. It is perfect!
A watch brand I’m actually excited about. In a world where everything feels the same or copied or stale, this lives in a world of its own and that is great and exciting to see.
Given the choice between a “Dornblueth “ or a “Rolex” both in terms of craftsmanship and value for money, to me, it’s not even a contest. Extremely informative video in more ways than one
Marc Girard that’s cuz you know nothing about watch making .. these are different watches. Daytona has the best movement in the world for a chrono. The sky dweller is a master piece ... it’s like saying 2020 x5 bmw is worse than some older timer that can hardly drive
Serge Zerkin please expand on your comment about the Daytona movement? There are plenty of other watch brands with a vertical clutch column- wheeled 3 register chrono with Chronometry precision
@@sergezerkin lmfao hahahah. best chrono movement. well a.lange&sohne datograph/patek phillipe/audemars Piquet/zenith and many other brands has left the chat.
I just received my 99.2-M with polished ceramic dial and couldn't be happier with it, especially it having been built by such a small and devoted team using classic machinery.
I know the brand for a long time, never pulled the trigger because I was blinded by the mainstream brands, but now I'm selling all those watches and getting in to this small quality brands.Great video ,Thank you! Another gem is Pascal Coyon...
Congrats Sherlock, finally you found the best German watch brand. I have been in Kalbe twice, its like timetravelling. The workshop looks like watchmaking on pictures from the early 20th century. They really do anything by hand or old machines. No CNC anywhere. Dirk Dornblüth is a craftsman, not a salesman. He has one machine wich is self made (like many others he uses) and is driven by the windshield wiper motor of an old Trabbi (the little car made in the GDR)! Dirk is allways open for visitors and for customizing the watch. Love my Quintus Auf und Ab.
That's awesome to hear, I really appreciate this kind of watch company, it's a beautifully made German watch done how it was originally done, thanks for the insight sir.
Wow. From brokering yachts to presenting watches this man's voice and delivery are impeccable, and the choice of what to present, and how to present it, are just stunning. Very well done, indeed.
WOW! I had never heard of this watchmaker, thanks for the introduction. And this is indeed a clean, crisp, beautiful work of craftsmanship by D.Dornblüth & Sohn. Amazing!
This may be the ultimate dress watch, and also gentlemens watch. Understated, stunningly beautiful and crafted masterfully. But also something that others in the know look at and say: "that guy definitely knows what he is doing". And all that without jumping into anyone's face. Absolutely amazing
I caught the watch bug because of this channel, and this video has strongly awoken it again, even though I still look at watches all day in my free time. I have been repeatedly searching for D. Dornblüth & Sohn over the last month or so, and this video confirms what I felt about the brand's aesthetics. I cannot thank you enough for helping spark my extensive watch journey!
This comment will sit at the bottom of a long list. So nobody will read it. But just wanted to say that is probably the most impactful WF UA-cam video. It has spotlighted a unique company that till this day experiences the positive effects of this video. And it has shown watch enthusiasts a corner of the watchmaking world they weren’t aware of. Truly well done.
Great to see such a small German watch maker on YOUR channel! 😍 I also felt in love with the smaller workshops around the country. I just ordered a Hentschel watch from Hamburg in early summer. It's the same approach that D.Dornblüth & Sohn has. But I do prefer the even more classic yet modern looking watches from Hentschel for myself. For example the H1 I ordered. These people in the North of Germany are extremely friendly and the pre- and aftersales service is superb. At my stage of watch collecting I really do prefer smaller watch manufacturers with passion for watchmaking instead of the big companies that are mostly profit oriented. Best regards from Germany!
I love how the heat blued hands are attached with separate steel collets... eye-catching and attractive. I can't think of another watchmaker who does this.
Absolute beautiful. I like the gothic font of a Lange better for the dial, but for $5000, that watch is insane! Finishing looks like it punches with PP and Lange, and the movement is stunning- reminds me of a more colorful L093.1.
WOW!!! Thats amazing, I can't believe the level of true watchmaking and craftsmanship, it's impressive at any price point and yet at these prices it's really unheard of, the finishing is gorgeous.
Dornblüth & Sohn are truly incredible. I have imported them into Australia since 2008 with Define Watches and now with TIME ONLY. My personal favourite is the regulator :)
My husband is a watch collector. Most of time I try to stop him from buying more watches since I believe he has more than enough already😢 However when he showed me this video... I couldn't stop him and he ordered it yesterday. This is a beautiful watch.
It draws from three pillars of watchmaking. British watchmaking architecture 3/4 plate, frosting and dial (very Frodsham), Swiss movement base and decoration and German detailing and balance cock finish....Very cool, specially considering the price tag!
Talk about an unlikely route to discovering a new brand (or one I didn’t know at least), D. Dornbluth was recommended by Ben Tokkante who was mentioned by one of my regular channels, The Timeless Watch Channel…. serendipity you might say and now one of these as a Regulator in rose gold is on my shopping list!
Dang, I’ve had my eye on Dornbluth for a long time now, waiting till I can finish school and afford one. I was hoping they’d stay under the radar till then, but I guess not. Now I’ll never afford one!
Absolutely stunning, didn't know making watches by hand still exists on earth. I love vintage craftsman work in watches and many other articles no longer exist today. Humanity lost a lot by the disappearing of craftsmen & women in the past few decades. Just love to see them at work one more time.
Oh, those hands !! The most beautifully proportioned I've ever seen. As a personal choice I would stick with the engraved face as shown, but replace all but 9,12 and 3 with a simple engraved bar.
about time... D&D are the best kept secret in the watch world. taking about a company'a annual out put is only around a 100 units. incredible time pieces with feel all their own. I love mine!
Another great video, where the viewer seems to get shared a secret. Great watch brand as well. Even though it deserves to be known more, I don’t think it should. Keep it confidential ! We watchfinder viewers are privileged.
Coning to this video a tad late, I was riveted by the imagery, description, and…just the thing itself. But I was bracing myself towards the end, where I anticipated a price tag that might make a Lange 1 seem almost reasonable, only to be shocked in the nicest way. Given that you're getting something just a hairs-breadth from bespoke, this is practically a bargain in relative terms.
Normally when I see these videos, in the close-ups I see the shear marks from where hands are stamped from sheet, or a burr raised where one machined surface meets the next. I often see a blob of paint on the dial where a spray gun spattered or inconsistant application of ink across a word stamped on the face. Chamfers are a major place for inconsistency even at the highest levels and occasionally glue can be seen oozing from a place you'd rather not see it. But this, this has no such niggles. It's as near to flawless as I think any watch I've ever seen has ever been, perhaps nearer.
This is absolutely bonkers! (to paraphrase another more relaxed end of the UA-cam watch channel spectrum!) in all seriousness, talking hands guy, keeps on giving!
I've wanted a Dornblueth since I discovered them last year. It's a watch you can only buy for the sake of yourself or a loved one, you don't get it to show off your wealth.
I bought one in January in Berlin, where i live. There were a couple of them aviable at my local juwelier. I even spoke with Mr. Dornblüth himself at an event.
I like the idea that only a few people will know what you are wearing. Thats understatement...something almost lost in the "kardashian" world of today.
That’s amazing! I’ll have to check them out before they’re hyped up. Looks like they’re on the path to becoming the german Roger Smiths How about the new constellation collection in 41mm. Tradition, elegance, versatility. Would be interesting to see your take on it
Just a side note: Dornblueth really use hand techniques, their work shop barely has any mechanical equipment. It was his father's operation, restoring clocks and watches and then moved into his Son's Operation. The son, Dirk Dornblueth fulfilled his dad's dream by helping them/the brand to build their very first wrist watch. The brand was born.
Wow, I didn't know this brand, but it is stunning. Something really unique. Swiss horology is often considered the best int he world, but when Germany decided to produce a watch, there is the real surprise and and unrivaled quality.
That engraved dial is stunning. I'm curious why that isn't done anymore. Laser engraving has come a long way for companies that don't want to do it manually.
Oh wow. They are absolutely beautiful. And while I’m not in a position to spend that kind of money on a watch yet, that price _is_ surprisingly resonable!
Nice presentation ! I am sure that you made some people very happy with this video.I wish i could afford one of these. Watch making at its best! You can really see the love putted by hand in these watches! It's admirable that a company like this exists now days! Subbed by the way ;)
jesus, after looking around, i may throw in the cash to get one of these. they are absolutely stunning and jaw dropping through a screen, i cant even imagine the detail in person.
There's no doubt that for the price D. Dornblüth & Sohn provide a remarkable piece of horology, however my only complaint has been the lack of original case design. Whilst the inner workings are astounding, they rarely innovate on Case shape and sizes.

Wow, I didn't know this brand, but it is stunning. Something really unique. Swiss horology is often considered the best int he world, but when Germany decided to produce a watch, there is the real surprise and and unrivaled quality.
Absolutely amazing!!!! I love the process of manufacture. If it were any more originally handmade, you’d be making the watch yourself
The caliber 2010 is truly a unique "in-house" manufactured movement with two patents pending. See the Dornblueth and Sohn website.
I am sitting here waiting for mine to arrive, killing time by watching this video over and over and over again
I have exactly the same 😂. Which did you order?
@@chrissy.vThe Q2010.Klassik 😄
@@christianb2239did you get it?
@@kushalagarwal3873 yes its amazing :)
That engraved dial is stunning. I'm curious why that isn't done anymore. Laser engraving has come a long way for companies that don't want to do it manually.
It'll be the painting of the etched lines. How do you infill then cleanly without marring the other finished surface?
It is so gorgeous. Thanks for the introduction.
Oh wow. They are absolutely beautiful. And while I’m not in a position to spend that kind of money on a watch yet, that price _is_ surprisingly resonable!
Nice presentation ! I am sure that you made some people very happy with this video.I wish i could afford one of these. Watch making at its best! You can really see the love putted by hand in these watches! It's admirable that a company like this exists now days!
Subbed by the way ;)
jesus, after looking around, i may throw in the cash to get one of these. they are absolutely stunning and jaw dropping through a screen, i cant even imagine the detail in person.
Never heard of the brand...thank you for yet another beautiful story and introduction of a new brand for me 👊🏻
After hearing the price, this instantly became my number 1 grail pick.
There's no doubt that for the price D. Dornblüth & Sohn provide a remarkable piece of horology, however my only complaint has been the lack of original case design. Whilst the inner workings are astounding, they rarely innovate on Case shape and sizes.
Good job! Their online shop says it's all sold out 👍
