Awesome video. Love both of your content. With respect to this statement: “… for the first time you have a perpetual calendar that has the wearer, the collector, in mind.” That distinction has to go to the Ulysse Nardin watch created by Ludwig Oechslin in 1996. He designed it explicitly to be unbreakable by the user. Controlled entirely from the crown, it could be set forwards or backwards and doesn’t even have to go back to the factory in 2100. The Moser perpetual created by Andreas Strehler was the second one designed with the user in mind, again able to be set forward or backward without breaking. Unlike the Oechslin movement, the Moser has a flash (quick snap) date. However, it doesn’t show the day on the month. The MB&F is the first one that can be set forwards or backwards, shows the full day, date, month, and has a flash date. Certainly a milestone!
Actually none of these watches is to my taste - or budget. That said, the creativity and skill that is behind them is what humanity in general and the watchmaking business specifically is all about. As ever Marko, a joy to see a presentation like this. Our horizons are broader for it.
Loved this episode. Wished it went on longer with more stunning watches. I love thr MB&F legacy machine. This particular model hit all my buttons, gold case and blue dial. I thrive one day to own a LM for my collection. You can see the passion from Chris for all the pieces he showed today. Thank you guys..
GOD BLESS YOU MARCO AND CHRISTOPHER. I AM VERY PROUD OF YOU AND VERY HAPPY FOR YOU I HOPE ALL OF YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE MY FRIENDS. I HOPE YOU HAD THE BEST AND HAPPIEST CHRISTMAS OF YOUR ENTIRE LIFE. 🙏
Two of my fav Guys from the watch fam 🙏🏻🤗. Excellent interview and Watches 👌🏻😘 all amazing and gorgeous , i know someone who also owns a James bond DB 😉 so cool 🤩
Interesting, I'd be afraid to use crystals for escapement levers - they're constantly being exposed to vibrations from hitting the wheel. But it does add to the stunningness...
Such an enjoyable conversation and, as usual, very informative. Not being rich, I always appreciate knowing the prices. Thank you, Marko. I might be able to afford a Cyrus, but probably not for long. I will visit Esperluxe. Also, for the first time I notice that a watch might be too large for its wearer. Michael Jordan's looked fine on him, but the DB28 looks big. Is it because we view our watches from the inside of our wrist, but others view it from the outside? I always thought that the full length mirrors in watch stores are for egomaniacs, but they can reveal how much or little a watch dominates. Before I buy another watch I am going to buy a big mirror.
Glad you liked the episode! The size of the DB is great on my wrist, but as I always say try them on for yourself and you'll see, it's often hard just guessing from videos or photos and especially since it's not your usual case and lug shapes.
Richard Mille has a caliber that automatically disengages the winding rotor when the power reserve is full, then re-engages the winding rotor automatically after the power reserve winds down to a certain level.. truly genius.
How can anyone spend Millions on RM, if you can get these kind of special, rare and beautiful pieces for way way less?! So many things going wrong right now... Thanks for showing, again, those pieces and brands! :O
increasingly unsure high prices should be seen as growth or strength, but rather as distortion + dysfunction. shouldn’t be celebrated, should be worried.
@@yobgol Many factors. A lot of products are getting more expensive in life aside from luxury so it's a comment for another time or maybe a in-person discussion rather than a short comment here.
@@SwissWatchGang focus will help. watch prices rising contains enough factors for more than one discussion. primarily, it's being undermined by manufacture shutdown + grey market prominence. historically, the aspiration + achievement of a nice watch one in a lifetime is now a long-term model that can't be achieved.
