1904 English Smith & Son Tourbillon Pocket Watch | New Orleans, Hour 3 | Preview 

If you talk to your neighbour , he may throw some pateks and breguets over.You can only ask , no big deal .

Your neighbor has very poor taste in beer

Yeah my neighbours a twat to

Throw those cans back at him!

ROTFL Rolls on the floor laughing..........!!!!!!!

The Tourbillon carriage.

Great story, never happened

How much does it cost to repair a pocket watch case ?

Can you please explain the time left indicator dial, the expert said it tells you how much time is left on the watch before you have to wind it up, so the expert wound it up and the indicator went down not up, showing less time left on the watch before you had to wind it up again, the indicator went from 24 mark, which I assume means full, and went clockwise down, which I assume means less time left. I can't make sense of that at all, it seems to me it's working in reverse?

hi i have a f-91w and the screen is blank. can you help?

lol

she probably had a buyer at twice the price before she got the car door open

If you’re gonna find a flux capacitor anywhere, it indeed would be in an intricate time machine. Understandable error!

If you buy a 1960s American car it will have a better engine than anything on the road today.

@@bighands69 Not really. The efficiency of modern engines is much higher today.

@@GoinMLG Those 1960s engines were long lasting and heavy duty. There is nothing today even with their fancy turbo power management systems that could get close to driving a V8 1960s American car. The power control and applications on those V8 larger displacement engines are orders of magnitude above anything in the small 4 cylinder cars of today.

@@bighands69 rosy retrospection is killing your brain cells, brother. There's a reason why you don't see many 60's/70's cars on the road today. It's because they weren't as reliable and they weren't as efficient. People make these same exact comments about old appliances, and it's a failing argument from the jump. You can point out plenty of bulletproof engines from every decade. Just because you like cars from the 60's does not mean they had "better" engines than anything manufactured today. You're only kidding yourself with that sentiment.

@@bighands69 'The power control and applications on those V8 larger displacement engines are orders of magnitude above anything in the small 4 cylinder cars of today.' - this sentence is both very specific and meaningless at the same time. Well done.

That made me laugh

Such an American moment

It is funny. But if you think about it, they would be saying it in f****** German if it wasn't for the Americans.

How is it pronounced? Twah-byonh?

@@danacoleman4007 Twice.

Booxwee his pronunciation of tourbillion is worse for a so called expert lol

@@theoneandonlybosable I thought the same!!!

She didn’t say that .... she said “wind”

Booxwee why? She said ‘Wind’ because she meant wind, she was obviously not familiar with the watch and likely thinking it had something to do with wind, or sailing. Not a particularly surprising mistake, and people make mistakes. But this obviously isn’t a mis pronunciation. She just made an error. She is white American. She may have thought it was a barometer type feature.

@@nathanielberkeley-biggs2855 Correct. And he did an excellent job he did not correct her he just spoke of what it really was that's a gentleman and a man.

Can't believe he did that as a "watch expert"

You do understand what a homonym is, right? Not a mistake, if she didn't know it was wind not wind.

@@litigioussociety4249 - My point was about the incompetence of the watch expert, not the young lady at all.

I cringed every time he pronounced it. I would think an expert on watches and horology would know the proper pronunciation of such an important movement feature.

i have a watch which displays wind speed

And she knew how to pronounce "Grenich" properly.

Agreed. The "expert" is not very intelligent. Also, his pronunciation of "Paddick" Philippe had me rolling.

@@fisherman9435 Yeah pictures are exactly the same thing!

Super dumb

Yea, but unlike her dad she probably didn’t go to M.I.T.

3:45 he said it too

@@antonandraslindamoodwhite5407 I agree. she is really very nice

Super stupid

*Tourbillon (pronounced "Toor-be-on")

I doubt your Casio watch will survive till 2222. 😉

Your Casio must be worn by someone special to gain value in the future

@@caverys Haha, probably.

@@jericoba I bet it will, if cared for.

“What you have here was sometimes referred to as ‘god tier”

🤣🤣🤣👌

It must have been a limited edition for aviators. LOL.

No, it says WIND, not wind. LOL, this poor girl thought it said wind. A watch that keeps track of the wind, LMAO!

Why?

Have you SEEN what A. Lange &Sohne and Patek Philippe have been up to?

Watches are one a the few commodities left where that saying actually doesn’t apply. Brands like Patek Philippe and even Rolex are producing watches that are of better quality than ever before with the best materials and craftsmanship. But this is definitely a beautiful watch that I’d certainly love to have in my collection.

@@michaelfleming8490 I'd love one "in my collection" too...then I'd have a rather nice collection of one watch!

You don't know anything about watches, do you?-- oh, omniscient, great one...lol 😂

@@michaelfleming8490 Rolex is overpriced and overrated, I think. They don't have any movements with a tourbillion.

Over a million? Come on man it was appraised at 500-700k lol. A simple search brings it right up.

suicidepreventionlifeline.org/ - operators are standing by to help.

If you look at the French spelling - tourbillon - it shows how it's pronounced - tourbiyon.

Get an Era tourbillion! Beautiful watch and cheapest quality tourbillion you can get!

If you know where, you can buy uncased tourbillon movements for about £7-8K in London.

Well, he was just describing the kind of value a tourbillon would add even in a modern market

LOLLLL

@@dudakoff1000 No, he wasn't.....he was blowing smoke trying to justify his price. I would question the expertise of any "expert" who doesn't know the correct pronunciation of Tourbillon

By "adorable" you mean "a bit thick", right?

@@Pwwh0711 meaty beaty big and bouncy.

@@Pwwh0711 She is real woman and it is make it much better. Not like a "chick" whom drink "cocoa" powder and do squats and wears tons of makeup and wearing yoga pants everywhere.

@@someguyfromarcticfreezer6854 I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

I was waiting for this comment 😂

CYGNUS!

and he said tor billion

It reminds me of a book I had to read out loud in grade school. A word was split between two lines, child on the top line and ren on the second. I read it as child run instead of children. Yea, my face is still red 35 years later. 😳

@@Jude74 I once read out aloud orgasm instead of organism in class one day. My teacher tried to hold on her laugh.

rick already has a watch and its really reliable since it survived so many disasters

David M idk if your joking or not but it would be sold to collectors with money. In terms of functionality there is absolutely no use for it because of wrist watches and phones. Its a historical timepiece. Thats it

Booooo. 100th time I've seen that same stupid comment.

The cool thing about old watches, you can literally measure their value. With a very great certainty (not perfect ofc), the closer it keeps time, the greater it's value. And this thing rivals all, especially if moved around thru it's test. But even that isn't necessary. As the earth rotates, even a stationary watch is flipped around 360 every 24 hours, and this baby combats that!

And a three piece suit looks empty without a watch and chain.

When you hear "meant for a US audience" you know it's an uppity, peasant making that statement.

Me thinks the uppity peasant may be right though!

still call it big and little hand kid O?

Nah! If it was for US audience he should have said "and the hour hand is shorter than the minute hand". No joke, there are videos on how to refill a Zippo lighter so go figure... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pK1BZshpVQ0.html

True

I hope not. Someone else would actually know what they had, rich or not. And it may actually sit in a museum for others to marvel

I like your effort

I’ve never read such absolute poppycock in my life.

Abraham-Louis Breguet. It was invented to allow pocket watches, worn upright in a waistcoat pocket to not constantly gain time. BTW, it's called a Tourbillon (Tourbiyon). Repeat after me - there is only one "i" in Tourbillon.

in solid gold, no less. makes you wonder what else the neighbor had in his collection

They are pretty nice movements for cheap ones. I want a 28,8800 version, most cheaper ones are 21,600 movements.

They last for about 6 months and then go to the great Chinese watchmaker in the sky. They will, when working and on a good day, tell the time to within 4 hours a day. Otherwise they are only right twice a day.

The hairline crack can be repaired but would be costly.

Meanwhile my less-than-2 year old Samsung Smartwatch is starting to misbehave....

Many old pocket watches much older than that work very well.

it's known as a "power reserve indicator" for a reason - it shows how much wind is left in the watch. Simples.

The tourbillon was invented in the late 1790's actually. That technology was already over 100 years old before that watch was made. Its cool stuff.

@@android9404 i guess i meant the level of precision in the engineering, how small and tactile everything is.

gotta call mark from the clark county museum first

You mean huge risk here

It’s gonna sit on my shelf taking space ......I can do 20$

Rick It’s my final offer

Mr Brown and this watch got along famously

Can't say I wasn't thinking the same I was.

She's dumb.

That's what I want in a women Super Cute and Dumb.

She is as cute as she is dumb.

She's thicc

DON PULUBE is she single? Asking for a friend

Casio’s solar-powered watches have got NOTHING on THIS! 😅

He is speaking English, not French, that's how the word is supposed to be pronounced in English. I hate people say Sauteed in stead of Fried.

@@seanleith5312 its a french word. there is no english pronunciation

@@reedroffis2717 yes there is and you're not a watch expert

lol :)))

50 grand in "a few years" might buy you a loaf of bread - just the one, mind you.

Patek Philippe are terribly snooty about their Tourbillons, most of them are not visible through the case, you'd have to take the back off to see it. Then an automatic alarm sends someone round from Patek Philippe to shoot you.

Bring in an EXPERT cause I do not trust Anyone!!

Don't forget the frame

🤣

Service costs more then the wach

Winding indicator on old watches acted like a power reserve so that people would actually know when to wind them.

“Today I learned…” 🤓🧐 Thank you! 👍
