Recently on a trip to Noosa, I dropped in to visit and finally meet face to face with Peter from Define Watches .
My intentions were to purchase a German watch...namely Sinn, Muhle Glashutte or even a Hanhart.
As soon as I saw this D. Dornblüth & Sohn watch, I completely forgot why I was there....I fell in love with this watch instantly and could not get it out of my mind for so many days

Watch featured : D. Dornblüth & Sohn 99.1 Ceramic Sea

Thanks for watching..
Congratulations on the amazing watch, and thank you for the shoutout ❤
Thank you for planting a seed in my heart many years ago with your video Andrew 🙏
Great review Peter, it was brilliant to meet you both at Define thanks for taking the time to come back for a meet & greet,very much appreciated. It’s absolutely clear that the Dornbluth decision was the right one,the smile hasn’t faded! Good advice to all of us watch tragics about buying what speaks to you,it is a stunning time piece,well done.
Thanks Curt, yeah it was great meeting you too brother. I pulled the trigger in the end and I think it was the right choice for me..so pleased 😊
Stunning! As you say $13k AUD is a bargain for what it is. That money gets you a basic mass-produced luxury watch from omega or Rolex. Whereas this is next level craftsmanship, just doesn’t have the brand recognition. I genuinely feel Germany has the real enthusiast brands. I feel they always deliver more for your money. The only I would say is get that deployant off the strap so you can fully see that beautiful movement!
Have had my Dornbluth & Sohn for about 3 years.... It is an incredible watch and completely unique to me and a watch that will never be sold whatever the circumstances. The experience of ordering and the personal touches are unlike anyone else, i still even get a Christmas card every year. I will definately be ordering from them again and as for videos like this I have mixed feelings - I wish them success but like it being a secret
My sentiments exactly...but I was compelled to share my journey 😊 Hopefully the prices stay within reach in the coming years
I purchased a Sinn 104 from Peter from Define watches and had nothing but great customer service! Congratulations mate it’s gorgeous!
You can tell it's a thoughtfully made piece when even the box is brilliant. Love that viewing window.
Absolutely stunning piece Peter - a real gem! Happy for you!!
Thank you so much
What a stunning piece! Our journey is more enjoyable when our wives support our watch madness.
Couldn't agree more Dane, well said
I got my own cutom made Dornbluth 99.1 about 5 years ago, And last year me and my wife went down to visit Dornbluth, where Dirk show us arround. They where just so great and nice and they took so good care of us and gave us one in a lifetime experience, And just before we left Dirk sign my outer and iner box, that was a first for him.😅 Wear it in good health, It still love mine and it is a 100% true keeper.❤
Beautiful, thank you for sharing 👍
WOW! Congrats, what a nice story. 👍
@@lpg12338Thanks. Everything Peter say is 100% how I feel about my watch, I have own many brands like Rolex, Omega and JLC, They are all great watches and I love JLC, but they can't beat the feeling I have for my Dornbluth, And there customer service is so high.(something that is lost in my way in the watch world today) The value for money is crazy and it makes there watches real sleepers, Because you need to be into watches to real understand what you looking at, that is also why I love my Spring Drive Seiko.
A beautiful watch A wonderful wife And many good decisions. Enjoy it all, dear Peter! Always happy to see your journey!
Thanks Markus 🙏
Brilliant as always Peter! Thank you for sharing this and I hope you're having a wonderful Easter, brother 🥃
Thanks! You too brother 🥃🇦🇺
Dear Peter, I don't need to say anything about the watch because you said described it already so well. It was for me a plassure to see how happy and satiesfied you are about the purchase! I would like to give you my congratulations however in first way because of your wife and how happy you must be to have her (I married somebody who is just like your wife and thats so important) and in second way of course my congratulations about this incredible time piece! I wish you lot of fun in the next years with this watch! 🍻
This is the best watch video I've seen in forever. True passion. Beautiful timepiece. I wish you many years enjoying this watch.
Thank you for sharing, glad you enjoyed the video, I also enjoyed making it
Your choice is completely understandable. Yes, you don't need it. But you have the right reasons for buying this absolute beauty. And the looks are not the most important side of this watch. The craftsmanship is. And it is absolutely wonderfully made. Great video.
Because my wife said something very similar, I bought a Chronoswiss. Love that piece......and her, of course.
I live in Germany and i know the brand. It is an outstanding manufacture and you can personalize the watch almost in everything. They have also a new manufacture caliber. Great choice u have done. Waiting list is more than a year!
Gorgeous time piece. love the story. thanks for sharing. Cheers
Congrats Peter. This is a stunningly beautiful watch both inside and out. Well deserved.
Now, how many times have I bought what I didn’t want to save money and to not disappoint my wife. I just had talk with her and she was surprised my my statement and agreed with you as long as it doesn’t impact the most important things in life of course. Thank you for sharing this love story, Peter. I’m not a big fan of this particular watch itself (I am a big fan of their craftsmanship though). You always inspire me.
Thank you for sharing that, appreciated. And you're right if the choices we make affect life and finances then they are the wrong choices..well said 🙏
Gosh, Peter. I’ve wanted a Dornbluth for years. I have to say, this one just checks ALL the boxes doesn’t it? That dial, that case, that movement and that in house craftsmanship. You have to have the right wrist to handle it (and you do) but beyond that, it’s darn near perfection. Congrats, brother and enjoy. Also, your wife…😎👍🏼
Yeah it was the right fit for me for sure..also being in the right shop at the right time helped 😊
Congratulations Peter! That’s a beautiful piece. The craftsmanship is simply stunning.
My 99.1 arrived last month after a 16 month wait. It is mesmerizing. It is a timepiece that wants to be handled as much as worn. And the box with its display cutout is another work of sublime craftsmanship. Imagine if anOrdain and Dornbluth did a collaboration. Of course, the waitlist would be about 10 years. 😕
That watch is exactly what, if I had to put a lot of money on a timepiece, I would buy. It is exactly what I think a watch should be. Legible. Gorgeous dial. Leather strap. Elegant layout. Symmetry. Stunner.
I wish to send my most sincere compliments for the sentiment you express about your wife. You seem to be a very fortunate couple. Best to you both.
We men like to interpret what our wives say to us. When I heard my wife say that she thought riding on a motorcycle would be fun, I took it as authority to get a motorcycle. When she said our boat was too small, I took it as authority to get a bigger boat
😂😂
😂😂 I think I learned something!
You sir are a good listener!
Beautiful, Peter! Incredibly understated beauty. It oozes function, quality, and craftsmanship.
What a beautiful watch!!! Thank you for sharing
Simply stunning. I really love the color. And your amazing photography has certainly honored the craftsmanship that created this beautiful thing.
It is truly a piece of art. Congratulations!
Outstanding piece and background story, and it absolutely suits you, great work.
I am so excited for you, Peter, they're truly spectacular. Congrats and thanks for sharing this!
Lovely watch. Truly something special. The guys at define watches are fantastic with a well curated selection of watches. I visited last year and I am looking forward to purchasing something special from them.
Beautiful piece 👍
Beautiful, Peter. Thank you for sharing this love story.
Hey Marty, I have so much more to share regarding this purchase, but wanted to also keep it condensed and watchable. Cheers brother
Great story on a very special time piece. Peter and Lydia are truly delightful to deal with. I would love to see you do a video about their back story on how they started Define watches. Their contribution to showcasing German watches to the Australian market cannot be for granted. For me German watch making history Is one of the most Important in the History of Horology
Marvelous piece
One of my absolute favorite brands. I should have picked one up before people began to realize just how good they are. Such a stunning watch, congrats.
That watch on your wrist is a beautiful piece! it caught my eye from the KZhead thumbnail so clicked into the video! thanks for the introduction
Thanks for watching!
Love the teal dial (edit: sea blue) and these are extremely high quality but they are expensive watches.
Seeing your face out there Pete! Good on ya!
Great, just great. Now there is ANOTHER watch I lust after!
The intro as a tribute your wife is superb. Many people would say it’s a thanks for allowing such a high expense, but we know you, and we believe you have a brillant wife ❤️ Great review and story Peter! Greetings from Italy, from Officine Tecniche.
God bless you Luca 🙏
Great story! This one will stay with you forever that is for sure! Thanks for sharing Peter. Have a great Easter Weekend.
Thanks, you too brother
Such a sweet love story you shared of you and your......wife ❤ That's a lifetime keeper, for sure. 😊 The watch is a beauty, especially with the story behind them. Sure we will seeing it in your SOTC in yeras to come. This put a smile on my face for Sunday morning.
What an excellent story and review. Thank you.
Beautiful. I appreciate this incredible time piece and your story in buying it. I was also humbled when looking at some incredible timepieces and my wife recognised how incredibly happy a particular watch made me - she bought it for me. And it was on her birthday! Enjoy your new love👍
Wow, you too enjoy yours thank you!
That watch is a work of art. Nicely done!
A lovely timepiece indeed!
A blind man could see how happy you are. Congratulations. I'm happy for you. Thanks you for sharing it with us. It is a great watch.
Arguably, the best video you’ve posted so far! Great love story!
Wow, thank you!..I enjoyed making this one for sure..👍
Peter the wife is never wrong, so this is your best watch yet. I'm a Sinn aficionado because its accuracy and toughness, but this watch can give anyone dial and carving envy. Coincidently my other carved watch is another German, a Shorokhoff. Thank you for sharing.
What a stunner. A watch for those not blinded by the bling and hype of the Swiss mass market producers like AP and Rolex.
Peter, you are blessed indeed. A love story such as this reminds one to appreciate who and what they have in their life, and to go for the opportunities that present themselves. Having the support and encouragement of a loving partner certainly makes the last bit that much easier, and enjoyable 😊 Wear your new love and enjoy the company of your loving wife in good health; and here’s to even more blessings for you and yours this year!
🙏
Mate this one is an absolute beauty. Seeing it in person was incredible. The takeaway from this video is that a love story with any watch, including this one, can come to an end, however when you meet a woman like yours, she’s a definite keeper!
Couldn't have said it better myself Kristian..cheers mate
I’ve only found your Channel just now. Congratulations on the purchase. Such a beautiful watch and a beautiful story. Thank you PK.
Thanks and welcome
Your watch is a true work of art. Congratulations to you and your wife on acquiring it. Its obviously brought you two closer. And its wonderful to imagine the people whose hands created it knowing through your video that their combined dedication and expert craftsmanship has has this additional effect on its owners. Your watch and the story behind it even brightens my day and has inspired me to just do better. Its so much more that a watch!
Could not have said it any better 🙏👍
Agree with you Peter. I bought Muhle Glashuette watch from Define watches in 2011. Visited shop in Noosa recently. Excellent team and great service. Congratulations.
Basically 'ditto'. My first encounter was Andrew Morgan's vid, too. The whole thing - the ethos, the entire hand-build, the mindset behind it all, resonated with me big time. It's like looking at a wonderful painting. Nice one Peter, great choice 👍👍
Bravo Peter. Thats a special video. Thanks for sharing your experience. 😊
God bless you Anthony, enjoy the rest of the weekend my friend
Truly wonderful watch, love what this brand does and the ceramic blue dial is a stunning flourish, congratulations!
Thank you very much Alex, cheers
Best music intro on youtube hands down. I love it every time. Congrats on the watch buddy
Oh and now the trip, watch and several days accommodation are tax deductible 😊
Thanks Rob
Dornbluth & Sohn makes nice watches! Congratulation and greetings from Switzerland.
Thank you, cheers from Australia 👍
I think I understand. It's beautiful
Dang, that's a gorgeous watch! Really enjoyed the whole video, especially getting to hear the whole journey you went on to get to it.
Thank you Dave and also thanks for taking the time to watch the video brother..appreciated 🙏
Gorgeous. They weren’t on my radar, but they are now. Thanks Pete.
👍
Fully understand your love for the craft .At the time I write this comment it had received 216 Comments 10,847 views in 5 hours . thumbs up to you Peter.
That watch is stunning! Congrats and enjoy it!
Cheers 🙏
I'm so happy for you. I often find myself convincing why I don't need a certain watch, I can buy it, but it may not be logical to spend that much on it. I've been torturing myself by buying homages to scratch the itch. Now that I think about it, the amount of money I've spent on microbrands is like 80% of the watch I wanted. Thank you for sharing this story.
How good are Peter and Lydia at Define watches. I purchased a couple of pieces last month (Hanhart & Muhle Glasshute) whilst there. Really enjoy your channel Peter. It’s nice to know there are others with this watch ‘sickness’. If I ever see you in person around Melbourne I’ll be sure to say hi. Keep up the great work.
Amazing watch! Congratulations Peter🎉
cheers
Awesome watch Pete. It looks absolutely amazing.
Cheers JC..
Beautiful! Congrats.
Congrats Peter on this watch. Looks really amazing
Congratulations on the new addition. It’s simply stunning. I saw one previously and fell in love. Wear in good health and enjoy 👌
Bought my Dornbluth Regulator from Peter at Define watches. Highly recommend Peter and Define, LOVE my Dornbluth!!! Beautiful watch, congratulations! As you and @danemehring said, having our wives involved makes this hobby all the sweeter.
Good choice! Loved Dornbluth for years.
The blue on that watch is outstanding. Someday I might have to get one for myself. Thank you very much for the review and telling us about this outstanding company. I hope you enjoy that watch for many many years.
I've never heard of this brand before but now I'm very intrigued! Thank you for the video!
Beautiful piece PK, congratulations, and wear it in good health mate.
cheers
I am happy for you, that is a stunning watch with a great back story. Hope you enjoy looking at it for years to come. And thanks for the education, I had not heard of this watch maker before.
My pleasure Derren 👍
Love the watch and review. I discover so many new brands thru your channel. Thanks for educating us. My wife and I were in Switzerland a year ago for our 30th anniversary and she said the exact same thing to me. You came here to get an authentic Swiss watch from Switzerland. Why are debating the price between a watch you like and a watch you love. She said the price difference between the lesser priced watch I kind of liked and the more expensive watch I really liked is the actual price of the watch, your happiness, and piece of mind. The difference was $1100. She said the watch you really want costs $1100 not $3500 because you are going to spend money on a watch no matter what so don't waste it. Wives are infinitely smart and wonderful.
Great video Peter. I’ve bought a few watches from Peter at Define and had my share of lust for the Dornbluths. Your selection was perfect and that dial is superb. Despite living in Brisbane I’ve yet to get up to visit the shop at Noosa. That’s probably saved me a lot! Your wife sounds great.
Hard not to spend money when you walk into a candy store 😂👍
An absolutely stunning piece Peter. I'm thrilled that it worked out for you. I'm not sure I could appreciate another commercial timepiece after owning something like that. All the best mate ❤
Theres always room for another commercial piece...as long as its well made and tugs at the heart..why not 😊👍
Congratulations, Pete! I've been salivating over the D&S Quintus for some years. Notwithstanding the beautiful handcrafted workmanship, it is a quantum leap in price. If price wasn't an object, I'd get a D&S over a PP any day. Enjoy your D&S 99!
One day it might happen Tony, I know the Quintus is expensive but you never know what the future holds ...cheers brother
Fantastic watch and with the support, understanding and love from your wife makes it even more special.
Dornblüth are amazing, well done Peter. A most Happy Easter to you and the family.
Couldn't agree more David..cheers mate
Congratulations, Pete. It is such a beautiful piece with an incredible story, legacy, and tradition. Also, God bless you and your wife for the beautiful and loving marriage you both share. Having such a wonderful wife is indeed a blessing, one Im also fortunate to have. All the best, my friend.
Thanks Rafa, hope your doing well brother And from what I can tell you too have a beautiful wife and family 🙏 God bless you bro
@PeterKotsa Thank you so much Pete, I really appreciate your kind message. One day at a time here, but doing a little better. Take good care and have a wonderful week.
Beautiful watch. Love the colour.
Gorgeous handmade art brother! German craftsmanship at its best. It is incredible I just wish I could afford one!
Hi Peter, thanks for sharing. It's a beautiful handmade watch, so there isn't going to be another one that is exactly the same. Love all the craftsmanship that has gone into making it. It cost a lot of money but isn't expensive considering what you have to pay for some well-known luxury brands. Enjoy.
I can see why you were drawn to that watch. Spectacular! Cheers!
I wasn’t aware of this brand, but wow- stunning!! Congratulations! 🎉
Great video, Peter! You’re the best!
Takes one to know one David..😊
Lovely watch. Amazing that people can focus and create a thing of beauty, while at the same time people are blowing each other up in two major wars
The travesty of this world unfortunately Well said 👍
I love Dornbluth watchmaking done right IMO. It does make me happy. Really nice video thank you!
Congratulations 🍾. You deserve a watch you appreciate and this one is a jaw dropper. 👏🏼
Peter, that’s a stunner. Nothing like handmade German craft and ship. Beautiful.
True geek out moment… your wife sounds awesome.
Wow, spectacular! Great, honest review. Thanks!
Simplistic beauty. What an attractive watch. Even the strap is an excellent choice and color for this timepiece. The display case back showing that gorgeous movement just adds to the eye candy of this horological marvel. I can see why you couldn't get the thought of this watch out of your head and I am very happy you got it. Thank you for showing us your grail watch. After seeing this, my grail has been put on hold. I think I need to explore a little deeper.
Find something that speaks to you personally and Im sure you'll be very happy 👍
Happy Easter Peter 🇺🇸
