Alberto Santos-Dumont and His Fantabulous Flying Machine | Watchfinder & Co. 

Same here, watchfinder videos are like Christmas twice a week.

Sorry to be offtopic but does someone know of a tool to log back into an Instagram account..? I somehow forgot my login password. I love any tips you can give me!

@Kaiser James Instablaster =)

i guess you are extremely proud with favelas, narcos and decapitations too...sorry but Brasil is a shithole.

Antonio O, we need to cling to the very few good things, you surely do understand.

Ai vc conhece mesmo o país hein ma brother...

Brasil aqui tambem 👌🏿

Besides his first owner , there’s nothing “Brazilian” in anything regarding this watch.

oh sad. I did not know this.

In Brazil he is a national hero, and every children knows him...

It's a shame not all the Brazilians think as you....I'm sure your country would be amazing!!

Eric Johnson rolex with understatement 👍

I second that request. Under the radar watch with great value.

he covered it in some other video regarding Swiss RR watch, if i remember correctly.

So he just released a video on the Milgauss.. He called it "the worst watch ever". The comment section on that video is pretty heated. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jUr5q7HuhdI.html

In the US only. Everywhere in the world, only Santos is recognized as the airplane inventor...

@@lonesomepiper6783 not exactly... Sadly only brazilians carry on Dumont's torch, and even so, most people outside Brazil, that know the story either dismiss without even considering truth, or know, but don't care... Fact is both the Wright brothers and Dumont are doing similar things at same time, Dumont was already flying all over Europe, while the brothers were thinking about flying. The first airplane of Dumont, flew 1906, but in France nobody know anything about the Wright brothers. So it's safe to say that they all invented the airplane in different versions. Dumont 14-bis is a canard, a completly different configuration than the flyers |, || and |||, from Wright brothers. One year later, Dumont was developing the Demoisele, Wich is consider to be the first modern airplane, and conceptually is the basis for ultralight flight.

You mean ”a Brazilian” invented the airplane.

You didn’t invent anything, a person who happened to be born in the same country as you did it

Same thing for me exactly. "Discovered" the watch only a hanfull of weeks ago, such a surprise to see it on this channel. Just wished the watch itself was detailed a bit more

He said that because most if not all English speaking countries do not teach about Santos as the inventor of the airplane. So, most of he English speaking audience would surely assume what he said!

It is the classic way watchmakers write the number 4 or IIII, not a mistake by any means!

NameSchema100 okey, thanks for clearing this up. I was irritated by this.

No problem, they do it so the dial looks more "balanced out" .

I believe it’s so it balances with viii on the other side of the dial.

the 4 was usually written by romans as a IIII in watch dials. IV means jupiter and it was blasphemy to adress jupiter with time. that's why they made it IIII. afterwards it was changed to IV by the french kings. but all the watchmakers nowadays are making this for balancing the design.

luckly theyre only a few thousand right now!

Watchmaker's four to balance the VIII on the other side. VIII - IIII

Already here - Spring Drive!

And it is a brutally accurate and good movement, I can tell you, sir.

Same here. You’d think for a high end watch they would all line up.

Watchfinder is one of the biggest sellers of pre-owned luxury watches, that's where.

Listen to the video again. He does not say they needed or used a catapult for the first flight, but that they needed a strong headwind. This is one of the reasons they chose Kittyhawk. He does say the catapult was used later on. Everything he says is factual and takes nothing away from the achievements of Wilbur and Orville. By the same token, they were not the only aviation pioneers and others, such as Santos Dumont, made valuable contributions.

Sorry
