Based in the heart of quality watchmaking territory, we want to share our passion and enthusiasm for this mechanical art through our numerous video reports showcasing the people and their crafts behind your favorite timepieces.
In an ever more digital world and being surrounded by time indications all around us, the need for this mechanical object can obviously be questioned and that's precisely what drives us in trying to understand and sharing what makes it so special. We have access to the most secretive places of watchmaking and our goal is to take you along on this journey!
It looks cheap, overall. Like a 50 bucks aliexpress watch... but that design in the base of the watch, with the fake tail lights, looks specially cheap 🤣
It looks like an aliexpress special piece 🤣 It would be great so see him trying to do real watches, thin and small, instead of those clown pieces. Those things will be a joke in a few years
In the back of the case the engraving doesn`t consist the letter "M" in the words: "Limited" "Made" "Titanium" . Instead it has just the letter W which is turned upside down. My eyes hurt so much just looking at it!
terrible is an understatement for this new watch because thats the word we use for chinese fake toy watches. i previously thought the chiron watch looked bad but this is a new low. ...about that "W" ,thats just the font they used. its actually an M if you observe all the other letters in line as well. a poor font can only be found on a poor item though, unfortunately poor is not the people that will be purchasing this...
I think they should have stayed with Parmagiani. Jacob & co. doesn't necessarily have the best reputation in the wacth world while Parmagiani's reputation is unimpeachable.
This one looks much better. The Chiron watch looks like a hot wheel on your wrist. I just dont like the cheaper plastic-looking grills in the front of this new piece.
This time, both the new car and the new watch have a worse design than the first... The car because of the bad and ugly front part, and the first watch was more beautiful because of the design of the part with the hour hands, which gave it attractiveness and uniqueness.
@@VonKickass Design professionals speak realistically. I am one of them. The muzzle of the new car model is ugly and such things never took off. The rat or rocket front look of the car has never caught on in the car industry because it is inelegant .Especially at an angle of 45 degrees, the nose looks really bad... As for the watch, the first version is much more exciting with the construction for the hands of the watch, this one is a classic but nothing special.
@@The_whit3_rav3nI agree, Jacob & Co are not about traditional watches. That said, when I see the incredible engineering and technical innovation in the design of their movements, I can’t help but think that they could make some incredible and unique watches that stand on the horology, without any of the characteristic bling. That clearly isn’t what they’re about and I’m sure they’ll stick with doing what they’re renowned for - it works for them, after all. But I can’t help thinking what they’d be capable of if their innovative movement manufacture was redirected towards a different aesthetic.
@@The_whit3_rav3n thin and wearable doesnt mean boring... jacob & co simply dont know how to make a complex piece that is also wearable. Who wants a 15mm thick 45mm wide watch 😂
Hi everyone, would anyone know professional third-party manufacturers in China? Also, does anyone know how these miniature mars, earth figurines are made, and who can reproduce these in chia to be placed in a watch?
j'ai beaucoup d'estime pour cette horloger hors pair il a raison d'être exigeant bravo à sa fille aussi d'avoir choisi ce magnifique métier avec un maestro comme professeur Nice job
Hello Elizabeth, how can I get in touch with Alexandre Catton? I'm trying to search for reliable suppliers in China for my watch idea, but its a struggle as I'm not from the watch making industry
That rose gold piece Hana-Ikada is the most beautiful watch I've ever seen. So many elements just coming together and complementing each other perfectly.
The 1518 steel watch that was purchased in 1944 had a list price then of CHF 2‘265 which is equivalent to CHF ~11’200 at the time the video was made and CHF ~11‘900 today.
I was think of something similar, albeit much simpler and cheaper, as a step-up feature for online sellers. Basically it would be an internet-operated camera meant for inspecting watches for people interested in buying but not happy with just photos. You know, reserve a 5-10min spot so you can check the state of the watch live so you can make better decision. Rotate and move as much you want to see everything. Also (perhaps a good marketing idea) you could put it in some Patek museum type place so that people could see all the awesome pieces without going to Switzerland. Huge shows could too ease people check out the novelties that way. Btw, what would be the price for that mini set up of yours? Did you consider renting? Thanks!
I think the future of hautê horology is “philanthropy…I don’t mean real “build a children’s hospital” philanthropy - I mean “tax-efficient” , morally dubious, venture-capital schemes that are happy to “lose money” (i.e. evade tax) by funding and “patronizing” various maison d’hautê…many luxury goods may face this kind of raiding, and, as Hollywood found with tech-money from Silicon Valley ( much to its regret), it is hard to resist…
