  • This is as honest and transparent a video of how a high end watch is actually made. Basically it is made industrially, and then hand finished with electric tools, and finally extensively tested. But, no it is not made by a 5th generation Swiss Master Craftsman high in the Swiss Alps painstakingly hand crafting every component like they did 200 years ago.

    • Théotime Nieradzik are you professor nutty, handmade is handmade you are seemingly weak on the linguistic side of that man response. Using machines makes it not a handmade only the aesthetic finishing is which in my opinion is at max half hand made if that. Swiss Patek and Germany Lange & sohne are milking it while feeding their sheeps that lie of fully handmade watches.

  • Even crazier to think of all the complications that some watches have. Like the IWC Big Pilot Perpetual Calender, which keeps track of the time, day, date, month, and year, and has a power reserve and moon phase. Not to mention it accounts for months that have 30 or 31 days, and accounts for leap years, all done mechanically. Or the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Grand Complication which has all of that and a split second chronograph, all for the low price of roughly $700,000.

Unfortunately, due to cell phones, I think people have lost interest in wearing wrist watches. I HAVE to have mine on me all the time. It takes too long to pull the cell phone out to attempt to look at the time rather than the turning over the wrist.
