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.

@theotimenk 3 года назад

you obviously know nothing about manufacturing. It's not because you use a machine that it suddenly becomes easy. Very, very, VERY few people can do what engineers and technicians there do

@entroheat 3 года назад

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.

@brandysigmon9066 5 лет назад

You see all of the state -of-the-art tools and machines , now think of making these watches with more simple tools like they used 150 years ago . Watchmaking has always required great skills.

@HRM.H 2 года назад

@pero9254 6 лет назад

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.

Very, very interesting comment. I'm obsessed with watches. They are, I think, literally, paintings in frames. 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.

I thought this was gonna be some bullshit cash grab video, but this is actually a respectable process (unlike that "high end" speaker assembly video). It actually takes a lot of time, effort and nice materials to build these. Is it worth $30,000 for one of these? Probably not that much. But it's impressive nonetheless.
