My favourite references are 8:05 - Pointer Sisters "Automatic", 12:08 - Malaysia Airlines flight 370 (too soon? lol) and 20:17 - Monty Python's "Meaning of Life; Mr. Creosote". Absolute genius! Andrews commentary is to watches what Jeremy Clarkson is to cars.

As a new member of this channel, I am hooked - Andrew, thank you for guiding my journey through the world of luxury watches!

@jamescavanaugh9770 Месяц назад

The thumbnail game is a part of the RU-vid meta, but I think you should have at least a couple variations of the surprised face (as handsome as the current one is) that you use a lot. Maybe a "mildly surprised" "surprised" "full meme surprised" Love seeing the channel continue to pick up traction, one of the best watch YT channels without a doubt!

Mr. Hands is the new Jeremy Clarkson. In a good way. Love the name change btw. "Just like rubbing your hair on a balloon, and praying it doesn't make it even thinner." Absolute gold. I miss the macro photography of Watchfinder but Andrew's amazing sense of humour has found release.

@peetiegonzalez1845 Месяц назад

I don't want to spoil it so I won't quote him... but stay to the very end for the best punchline ever.

@grmpf Месяц назад

This channel has the exact bracket of an audience that makes it so I'm not sure if you knew exactly what you were doing by calling him "Mr. Hands" or not.

@nsgfields Месяц назад

@ItsukiEsper Месяц назад

"Thinness of two credit cards" would be a perfect setup for an "americans would use anything but metric" punchline, but mistaking Andrew for an american would be a crime on par with calling RM watches legible

@renebense Месяц назад

Incredible amount of information crammed into this video. You can easily make a hundred shorts out of this single video. It's like all the technology inside the thinnest watch, but now as much info per minute. Well done..!!

@agt2659 Месяц назад

Sounds like something andrew would say lol

@icy_liquidd1935 Месяц назад

About the toilet analogy, I don’t know who told you, but that was a top secret at my house! 😂

@newmexico511 Месяц назад

While not the thinnest automatic watch in the world, the Eterna Golden Heart was the smallest automatic watch at one time, anyway. The top of the line had a solid 23-karat gold rotor.

When it comes to fine imitation watches, nkuwan delivers. I've bought from them several times, and I've never been let down.

@DonLee1980 Месяц назад

Feel quite lucky to have worn and experienced a couple of the watches here, the Bulgari finissimo tourbillon, and the minute repeater. They say, each watch is made by the same watch maker from start to finish. True pieces of art. however, the most impressive watch in this video is the JLC minute repeater automatic.

@shiraz1736 Месяц назад

Agree JLC is at another level.

when I hear "thin watch" I think 😴💤... then I wake up and think of the Rolex Deepsea and everything seems right again.

@user-vn5bs7gn1u Месяц назад

Now confused: would wearing Bulgari and Piaget watches make one horologically cool, by association?

@draakisback Месяц назад

I tried to wear one of these when I went to my AD the last time. I wanted to know what the bulgari would feel like on the wrist, it was awkward as hell. It didn't feel like a watch, and it certainly even didn't feel like a bracelet. Frankly it didn't feel like anything at all...

@skzion2 Месяц назад

Getting accuracy from such a thin watch is really an achievement.

@leohidayat6811 Месяц назад

Should go with the smallest volume instead of the thinness, Bvlgari and RM are much wider in diameter against Piaget, they could shave the height because spreading the movement all over.

@Isle0fRed Месяц назад

Of these watches, I find the aesthetic balance of the Piaget Altiplano Ultimate Concept Tourbillon the most persuasive. Still, they all bore me. Why? Well... why not?

Fun fact about SF drivers' watches; Charles lost his watch and the thieve managed to escape the car chase The Spaniard managed to catch his So the logical decision would be to find Charles thief and replace him in the team and keep Carlos in the team saving 500M $ paid to Hamilton

Hi Andrew, I have an idea for a yet thinner still mechanical watch that is currently at a concept stage needing some backing to fully develop. Please reach out if interested in collaborating. Thanks and keep up the good work in your new very own channel!

@Lvvcassss Месяц назад

And the absolute thinnest watch was to be the elusive CST-01. Whoopin' 0,8mm! Not a mechanical watch, yes, but also not a...buyable watch at all. Failed but promising Kickscammer campaign I was really counting on (fortunately without actually backing).

@nickjacobs1770 Месяц назад

It's all well & good making the thinnest watches. How about now the thickest watches. Watches that make a brick look thin & if you try & wear it a quick trip to A+E is in order to have your wrist put into a plaster cast.
