I "discovered" mechanical watches only recently. Growing up in the sixties, seventies and a working class family only cheap quartz watches were needed. No one in my family had any interest in real watches. Since my awakening I now have four mechanical all automatic. Philippe Dufour states he doesn't make automatic watches, as he wants the owner to "feel" the watch. I don't put my watches in a winder and I wish to keep all of them going all the time, so the ones I don't wear I wind daily. I feel them all. Plus I have two, hundred plus year old pocket watches that I also wind daily. I agree with Dufour.

I saw a skeleton pocket watch in a jeweler ages ago. I feel in love with the idea of it, and so I got one. There's something else about a mechanical watch, the fact that these pieces seem to work in unison so perfectly, that it beats with passion and it's all made by hand. I wear and wind it every day and spend inordinate amounts of time watching it tick away.

34:00: HA! The watchmakers personal watch is a Waltham 1908, Riverside Grade!

The person who's wearing the Waltham pocket watch is not a watchmaker. His name is Michael Clerizo & he's an author & watch journalist.

Still, a person of discerning taste who appreciates fine horological design. (I collect Walthams, as my screen name implies...)

Flies love Philippe Dufour. Is the feeling mutual? Not so much (30:47). I had my suspicions, but after watching this video I know for sure; Jean-Claude Biver is on drugs! This video was devoted to the late British watchmaker Dr. George Daniels, I find it a bit disappointing his apprentice Roger Smith, whom is a independent watchmaker as well, is not interviewed for this video.
