The way Tim conducted this interview is outstanding, he has the knowledge, prepared well, asked interesting questions and gave Phillipe Dufour enough time to respond and express his thoughts without interruptions. Great work right there.
Tim never ceases to amaze me. He possesses total recall memory and obviously a very good skill for asking the right questions. He appears genuine and very humble. Tim is also just plain cool. Keep up the outstanding content. Cheers
Tim, you showed real reserve enabling Mr. Dufour to impart all of what was in his heart and mind, not be rudely interrupted as we often see in interviews now a days, both of you class acts, thanks !
The interview is great, but I hope it is just the first "teaser" and you do a one hour interview in your studio. I have watched all the Dufour interviews available on youtube, and Tim has done a fantastic job. You create a platform and patiently listen, yet all your questions are guiding the dialogue in a great direction. Thank you so much, pure pleasure.
I was trying to work out what was different about him!! Really it’s time for the upside down sunglasses to go. In a few years, he’ll be looking back at those images of himself and shaking his head. But also, respect to Tim and the producers for organising and delivering this great interview. A huge thumbs up!!!
@@the1916companywatchreviews You're an asset to the online watch community. Whatever you choose to do, I hope we'll be able to enjoy the fruits of your labour. All the best from Australia
WatchBox Reviews Come on Tim, it was just a Joke. Wear what you want and say what you want. Don‘t take my 2 cents too serious. To make you feel better I even apologize 😄👍. I don‘t watch your vids I clicked because of Dufour but if you will end your Videos I think you will let down your fans ;).
Tim you did a great job of interviewing Mr. Dufour by letting him finish his thoughts without interrupting then following up with your comments or the next question. It is refreshing to see that as many interviewers tend to interrupt speakers and are eager to share their knowledge for cool points. Keep these one on one interviews with industry legends coming. Thanks
Vick S. You had the exact same thought I did. That interview should be a case study on how an interview should be conducted. It is the rare personality that is willing to let the other person shine.
Tim you are becoming a fantastic interviewer, sympathetic, knowledgeable and informed and able to steer the interview where it needs to go. Well done.Extremely enjoyable.
So happy for Tim that he’s been able to make this exciting interview. I hope that the transition from Mr Dufour to his daughter will be successful. He’s a real gem in the watchmaking industry.
I love that he mentioned Nomos. So refreshing to hear someone of this calibre not only mention the mega-brands! Awesome video Tim, just simply awesome!
Tim - Bravo my friend. First Dowling, now Dufour. And your interviewing style is the best I’ve ever seen. Plant the seed and let the guest go. Can’t remember a better interview watch related or not. I learned a lot today, 30 min well spent thanks to you.🤘
Well done Tim What a delight when the interviewer actually cares about the interviewees opinion. Also you let him speak a delight and I hope the first of many.
Shoot, forgot he said that, kinda crazy. I guess that is the value in passion and making a living. I seem to be leaning towards wanting to support individuals rather than a black box...
Jeweler here, we have the same problem in the high end jewelry industry. Assemble part that are made on CAD and printed and cast. Only thing they care about if it's polished nicely and make sure there is no porosity on metal surface. Great video!
Tim this is an absolutely amazing interview with one of my idols, thank you. I remember the day I knocked on this mans door, it was snowing like hell in Vallie de Joux and my knees were shaking at the thought he might answer it.
Remarkable job with everything here Tim. Your patience, your tone, and listening skills. I could listen to him talk for hours. What a wealth of knowledge. A bonus that he certainly seemed to enjoy himself and the conversation. Bravo.
I can only imagine how Tim felt getting the honor to interview mr. Dufour. So happy for him, and a fascinating interview of course. I actually had no idea the duality came before the simplicity. Only gets more facintaing the more you learn.
The greatest watchmaker alive is such humble guy. and i love how he's not precious and gatekeeping his skills. Helping Grand seiko and credor setup their shop, training people in Japan.
A delightful crash course on how to conduct an interview or, how to talk to people infinitely smarter/accomplished than you. Tim's balance of a subdued revere and respect without being overly enthusiastic is a refreshing treat to watch. Every question was on-point and perfectly timed without being invasive, meandering or interrupting. Tim, I learned something today! Thank you.
You give excellent interviews Tim. You don't interrupt and show so much respect. It's breath of fresh air coming from some other watch channels. I hope you keep doing these when possible.
I’ve met two people that have met him at his home on separate occasions. Quite possibly the purest man of heart and humility, but also that of the meaning and art of watchmaking!
A great interview. A gentleman of his profession. He defines classic watchmaking. The experience and knowledge that this man holds is unprecedented. Thank you for sharing this interview.
I listened this with a Nomos on my wrist and very surprised with his comments at the end of the video right after Rolex and Lange :) So true that Nomos is such a different approach to watchmaking in every sense and they know how to make a client feel welcomed and happy.
Fabulous, both in terms of the interview style, asking a question and allowing your guest to respond, fully, before coming with the next question, and in terms of Mr Dufour's replies. Just wow! Very, very enjoyable. Thank you!
quote: Philippe Dufour . master watch maker. i'd say he's maybe the GREATEST watch maker of our time. Respect to Mr Dufour and his Passion. he's one of the very few people that's not money driven. he's a quality driven. thank you for hte awesome interview. i enjoyed it a lot.
to hear "The" Philippe Dufour recommend Rolex is probably the single biggest endorsement for Rolex that I can possibly think of.... I mean think about it.. And the fact that he bought a Lange is also a big win for A. Lange & Sohne
Very interesting interview. I was literally tuned in to every word. I'd very much like to see more interviews with legends in the industry and listen to their stories. Very well done Tim, thank you.
I live about 1 1/2 hours from the Lititz school. I wish I would of found out about horology when I was young. I'd would of definitely change my career path.
I always come back to this amazing interview. I just love these intimate conversations. Tim your knowledge of watches and the respected you show towards the great watch masters is amazing. Please do more of these type of interviews with other great independent watch masters.
Tim, top presenters should take note of you interview, you let the man speak, you didn’t interrupt and you stirred the conversation gently. In other words you showed the Mr Dufour respect, seriously well done I really enjoyed that .
Fantastic and fascinating interview. I really appreciate the fact the Tim let the man talk and take his time to get his points across in full. Too often these things are rushed, abbreviated and the interviewer seems to think they need more talk time than the interviewee. You could feel the genuine respect here. Very nice.
I found myself sitting at the edge of my seat awaiting and devouring each word from the master. Well done, Tim! What must it have felt like for you to sit across from him and discuss his craft and illustrious career. I imagine having a similar feeling doing the same with David Souter or RGB!
It was beautiful listening to him. So much to learn from these masters of their art and trade. I wish more watchmakers could feel inspired just hearing him speak.
That is how you conduct an interview. So many people today interrupt the person they are interviewing. It is a confident and gifted interviewer that can ask a question and just allowed the person they are interviewing to speak uninterrupted. More people should follow this technique. On a separate note, I am surprised he said Nomos. Personally, I like the brand. But, I am surprised he likes it.
Oh my god first time I actually hear Dufour talk without being interrupted and steered towards the interviewer’s agenda. Great job Tim! Although why did you have that smirk at 11:32 when he said “silicon to me is like that” and made the gesture?
My favorite video on this channel so far. Not wearing the ridiculous sunglasses for the first time also helped to make it more pleasant for the eye. Thanks
There were many talented watchmakers people who worked for Jaeger-LeCoultre and never got recognition. Anyone who worked for JLC are at the top of their game anyway. Mr Dufour is witty and highly inspirational. He has so much knowledge and listening to him speak is so interesting. People who buys his watch wants him to put in his own taste and knowledge of watchmaking into it. They trust his experience and style. Dufourgraph kaka!
Wow. Great interview with a great guy. As an entrepreneur I understand his struggles with personnel, with attaining the correct results, and even kids involved with the business. He is so relatable and I love the honesty and insights on Rolex and Nomos. I’m far more likely now to investigate Nomos now.
true master and a gentleman. one of the greatest watch maker of our time. If I win the lotto I'm adding a Defour to the collection. fantastic interview. Thank you!
A. LANGE & SOHNE's Datograph for its watchmaking brilliance; Rolex Pepsi for the "child in the man" and its bang per buck. Nomos for its bang per buck.
Awesome show, Tim. More of this! It's fun to hear stories of successful artisans in any space. Sharing these stories in the world is important. Not many people get enough exposure to this sort of thing, due to accessibility. Also, nice outfit -- looking sharp.
Is this from Dubai? What a great insider view. Although I am an amateur watchmaker, and a novice at that, I found so much in common with this man. I nearly fell out of my chair when he gave advice to go to the flea market and pick up a cheap movement to practice on (just came from the flea market). Well done Tim.
Wonderful show Tim, love to see programs that take a really deep dive into watchmaking by talking to the masters on a personal level. All too often youtube consists fan boys of a brand droning on about what their chosen brand should do or what the market will do as an investment. I'd much rather see someone talk about watchmaking. The European channels tend to be better at getting close to the essence of this. Thank you for your efforts in bringing this sort of thing to us this is great work ( and a good way to spend Sunday morning).
The way Tim conducted this interview is outstanding, he has the knowledge, prepared well, asked interesting questions and gave Phillipe Dufour enough time to respond and express his thoughts without interruptions. Great work right there.
Mostafa ElRouby EXACTLY!!!!!! This is one of those interviews which the interviwee was not interrupted by the interviewer at all. Brilliant
That takes grace!
Tim, please next time more watch photos while your speaker talks. It will be interesting to watch what he made, while he talks
Tim never ceases to amaze me. He possesses total recall memory and obviously a very good skill for asking the right questions. He appears genuine and very humble.
Tim is also just plain cool.
Keep up the outstanding content. Cheers
What an honest gentleman is Mr. Dufour.
Tim, you got my 100% respect for the way you conducted this interview.
Cheers from Sri Lanka
Tim, you showed real reserve enabling Mr. Dufour to impart all of what was in his heart and mind, not be rudely interrupted as we often see in interviews now a days, both of you class acts, thanks !
This is the kind of video where I click "like" before it starts.
yep.. me too.
same here. good to know im not the only one. lol.
The interview is great, but I hope it is just the first "teaser" and you do a one hour interview in your studio. I have watched all the Dufour interviews available on youtube, and Tim has done a fantastic job. You create a platform and patiently listen, yet all your questions are guiding the dialogue in a great direction. Thank you so much, pure pleasure.
Tim such a great presenter and also a great host.
I like it when hosts are good listeners, it is a reflection of their desire to truly hear what the interviewee is saying.
Wei Koh, this is how you conduct an interview. Well done Tim.
The man is an egomaniac...
Hey why do you say that?? Just curious never felt anything wrong
Are you a woman from B L M?...lol
When Dufour comes around this dude even puts his glasses away..
I was trying to work out what was different about him!! Really it’s time for the upside down sunglasses to go. In a few years, he’ll be looking back at those images of himself and shaking his head. But also, respect to Tim and the producers for organising and delivering this great interview. A huge thumbs up!!!

Well technically he stuck them in the palm tree. I guess the glasses are like his trademark or something?
So this is why Tim is the best. Does not interrupt his guest and allows things to unfold. True class!

@@barrylattuca5352 completely ego free. Very admirable. And in a way, it shows a greater and more confident person to let someone shine before you.
Rolex and Nomos, the two favorite brands of one of the best watchmakers alive. Damn, loved that.
I'm so happy to hear him shout out NOMOS. merci!
Tim you are becoming a fantastic interviewer, sympathetic, knowledgeable and informed and able to steer the interview where it needs to go. Well done.Extremely enjoyable.
So happy for Tim that he’s been able to make this exciting interview. I hope that the transition from Mr Dufour to his daughter will be successful. He’s a real gem in the watchmaking industry.
The Dato is still the dream...but that might be the best Nomos advertisement ever!!
Great video! Loved when he said he calls no one for a watch, he goes to the shop and buy it, he even was on a list for a Rolex! what an amazing man.
The best 25 minutes I've ever spent on RUclips
I confess to having watched this on several occasions, This interview will never get old.
I tip my hat to you Tim.
I love that he mentioned Nomos. So refreshing to hear someone of this calibre not only mention the mega-brands! Awesome video Tim, just simply awesome!
Tim - Bravo my friend. First Dowling, now Dufour. And your interviewing style is the best I’ve ever seen. Plant the seed and let the guest go. Can’t remember a better interview watch related or not. I learned a lot today, 30 min well spent thanks to you.🤘
A scholar and a gentleman, nothing but my respect and admiration for this man. Tim is a cool cat as always of course.
"You are the tourbillon" - a weirdly inspiring comment haha. What an amazing conversation. Thank you for the content
Damn, all this time I had a Casio with a tourbillon.
Yay for us!!
What does it say about Lange when the man himself is legitimately amazed by the work they do. Unbelievable interview. 🙏
Well done Tim
What a delight when the interviewer actually cares about the interviewees opinion.
Also you let him speak a delight and I hope the first of many.
totally agree!!!!
“They treat my work as potatoes” Incredible...
Lol
Shoot, forgot he said that, kinda crazy. I guess that is the value in passion and making a living. I seem to be leaning towards wanting to support individuals rather than a black box...

Great interview Tim. Great questions and gave lots of space for Mr Dufour to express himself. Impressed with Mr Dufour's principals and humility.
I loved the “Silicone” gesture 🤣. He’s such a humble and ambitious man. He doesn’t come across as arrogant like other entrepreneurs in Horology.
Gary Smith I suppose his gonna get an earful from his 4 daughters when he gets back home...
Yes, I immediately took a liking to him and his work. Someday...if I can ever afford his watch.

Epic video! Great content and thoroughly enjoyed that. Great work Tim on interviewing the watchmaking legend, he’s so humble and intriguing
thank you very much for this amazing interview
Two legends together! what else can we ask for, excellent video Tim! keep it up, cheers!!!
Tim + Philippe Dufour= instant thumbs up before even watching the video.

Amazing: "Lange Datograph. ... I am still waiting for the Swiss to respond."
Shocked when he said that, hah.
When he mentioned Nomos, I was like OOHHHH DAMN. Finally something I can potentially afford.
Tim is truly an excellent host, interviewer and presenter. Fantastic video
The living legend of watchmaking!!
Terrific interview . It made me re think my acceptance of silicon in watch movements.Also I want to check out Nomos.

I definitely appreciate Dufour’s honesty and transparency which is so rare in the industry these day. Great interview from years ago
Great interview.
I started watch collecting about a month ago and even I know Dufour.
What a brilliant interview and super interesting. I was so pleased when he mentioned Nomos too.
What a fantastic interview with the BEST. Love it 👍👍
I had the cance to visit with him the watch museum in Glashütte in 2017. I will never forget this very special moment.
Great interview Tim Mosso
Many thanks for sharing Tim. Great video. Great Man.
Thank you for this. Keeping his words alive in vital for inspiration.
Great interview ,Tim. Really good to see the focus on the guest rather than the presenter,which is all too rare these days. All the best
My favorite video on this channel so far. Not wearing the ridiculous sunglasses for the first time also helped to make it more pleasant for the eye. Thanks
Great interview. This is why love vintage horology way more than modern any day. I'd love to see Mr Dufours watch making in action.

Such an interesting interview - thanks to both Phillipe & Tim.
As saving up for a Dufour watch is a wee bit ambitious I think I’ll save for a Nomos instead. Fascinating interview - thanks!
Aww man! Outstanding interview....acutely interesting....I love the way Tim just let him speak while asking the right questions....
