thanks such beautiful watches you must leave your wallet at home and your wife needs to keep a close eye on you , i would go broke very soon if i was there ,,, amazing stuff , keep up the good work love watching the channel ,,,
That's a good question. I don't know. It was sponsored by sgah.org but they don't seem to update their website so it's not clear if it's an annual event or if they just do it from time-to-time. I did publish a video recently about a guide to watch fairs in Switzerland. You can check that out for ordering instructions to order a printed guide, but my recollection is that this one was not listed in that guide.
always a joy to watch your videos but it hurts me to read, better for scrap metal...it is all about the money,...some of our members were at the auctions for the high end stuff we were at the Rikketik in the Netherlands it was crazy....., there was a great atmosphere, it was very busy with over 350 boots with watches and clocks, parts and accessoires....I herad there were over 2700 visitors...a 15 min walk to get some parking space but it was fun all day
Yes, I think the scrap metal thing is very short sighted. Gold holds its value in any form, including watch cases. I think dealers should make more of an effort to document the weight of the case and bracelet and inform the customer that if they pay just for the value of the gold they can get a free vintage movement and dial! Why melt it down into an ingot for a bank to hold? It makes no sense to me!
another interesting vid, I think I went to a Picasso poster exhibition in the building you said was a hydro electric plant? maybe I am wrong - I am in the lounge at Dubai waiting for my connection to Wien - I will be looking for vintage watch shops etc
Compared to most of what I buy unserviced with cracked crystals. But most of hers are less than the cost of servicing and she has a good eye for shapes, dials and straps. Plus she’s a very nice person! 😊
@@bibermen Did you see my Patek cannon pinion video that starts out with the M-Watch with an ETA 2824-2 that I bought on Ricardo for 2 Chf? The Mido is only 418 Chf more. That's obviously a lot better that buying a new Patek Philippe Cubitus for 60,000 Chf, which is a 59,998 Chf difference! 😂😂😂
I think 1200 Chf for the Valgine 7750 in the thumbnail is a good price. All stainless steel, rotating bezel, lovely dial... And keep in mind those are all just asking prices.
Watches for gold is getting a bit of a thing theses days more and more are doing it , the pawn broker near me has done it for years some good old watches, last year he smashed a gold patek just for the gold .
It's very short sighted in my opinion. The problem seems to be that matching a vintage watch with a buyer is much more difficult than handing it to a scrap metal dealer and having them hand you cash. I say if you can afford it keep the watches and only sell them for scrap if you're going broke, because both gold and vintage watches only go up in value, and for the right buyer the watch will always be worth more than the gold value.
Gracias por un lindo paseo en un calido dia en Chile!!
Thank you!
I miss Geneva... Lived in Ferney and worked in Vernier for 2 years... and Saturday lunches on Place du Molard... Now back in Brussels for a year.
Fancypants! 😂😂😂

Curious as to what hand held gimbal you use.
I use a DJI Osmo Mobile 6.

Great video. Informative.
Thanks! It was also super easy and fun to make!

@@IMakeWatches It's nice that she's a nice person. But 420.- for this Mido Ocean Star 8:46. That's crazy.

@@IMakeWatches wait a minute... then this Mido must have a Patek Movement so that the World it is balanced again. So a bargain after all;-)
I wouldn't swap my Citizen PMD56-2952 for ANY of that pretentious crap! I also have a Full 9ct gold Omega.
C'mon! What about the Valgine in the thumbnail? Ecodrive is a nice tool watch but....
Wow this one 10:00
Yes, Paris, New York, Sydney, Tokyo! And wherever you are! I love that one too!
Expensive
