I’m obsessed with automatic watches. Breitling are just a thing of absolute intricate beauty. No one builds watches like the Swiss. THE worlds leaders and pioneers.
the japanese also do an incredible job. The grand seiko spring drives are a thing of beauty. No one does dials or better case finishing than grand seiko. The Germans have everyone beat though. Lange and Sohne watches destroy every swiss watch that's out there .Period!
@@steelsteez6118 yeah I have a few gorgeous Seiko Prospex Divers from my time in the military. Stunningly accurate, aesthetically pleasing, made with love, strong and reliable. And I love German watches. Germans are phenomenal engineers
Great to see the powerful combination of advanced modern technology and human skill working together to produce these mechanical wonders. Really captivating documentary.
I love my Breitling it’s the best watch ever. I use it for every day use, dress and Professional Divers work. It’s absolutely fabulous. Breitling all the way.
Not exactly by humans though. Even as far back as 30 years ago, yes. Not anymore. The small components of a watch are made with precision with machines and computers. The designs are made on computers.
i know im asking randomly but does anybody know a trick to log back into an instagram account..? I stupidly forgot my account password. I would love any help you can offer me!
Thank you Breitling, you have succesfully brought engineering and art to a next level. Also thank you Fatima, for keeping us living in the right time!😉

Well, Fatima must have had a day off when she did my new Navitimer 46mm as the time keeping is at best rubbish. Now the setting button has stopped working. But then again maybe I shouldn't expect an 11-month-old Breitling to work longer than that.
@@yoshirc2988 I have an 18? year old Breitling that still looks like new and works fine. You can't compare the old Breiting's to the new Navitimer. Oh and no I didn't buy a fake. Even Breiting have aggreged with that, said it should be fine. But and it's big BUT their guarantee is rubbish. When I bought it, they gave me a 5-year Guarantee. I tried the claim on it after 10 + months from new No joy. Please don't believe what it says on the box, or what you see on the internet. By the way I still won't get it back from the repair shop till the end of Feb: due to Breitling's rubbish after sales service. 6K+ cost and had nothing but problems from New. But I'm looking on the bright side I did wear it for a few months and it's only going to cost me 600UK + to get it working correctly (MAYBE)
It’s disgusting that you are treated like that. Should not be any cost at all to you and they should even pay for your postage. You pay a very hefty price for poor after sales service.
Many watch brands mislead information about their movements. Breitling is one of them.They haven't started to use the B01 on the Navitimer until recently and the video was produced waaaaaaaay before Breitling had starting manufacture the B01.
That is assembling the watch. What about the fabrication of the components from prime matter to the parts, from the iron to the pieces of engine. Also, how is the face of the watch made, the numbers, the lumen, the color. Is there a video with those processes? Thanks.
I've had my BO1 chronomat for 9 years and have not needed service in all that time. Glad because my full warranty ended 6 years ago. I only wish it had a clear back so I could enjoy the movements
@@DM-qm5sc nonsense, ive seen watches still working in perfect order without a service for upto 30 plus years. If it ticks and keeps good time do not get it serviced. Only service your watch if it breaks or looses time. I've seen many *repairs* from certified technicians such as rolex what look more like a butchery than the delicacy needed for watch repairs.
As long as it runs on time leave it alone. With Rolex you pay a fixed amount for servicing the movement. My GMTII went from working fine, to losing a lot more time per day, to stopping completely. Everything movement related was covered under the $750 service fee. Also had a new dial and hands put in but that was extra. Added a few other things like bezel insert and a crystal to get to a total of $1600. Paid $2700 for the watch twenty years ago. First service ten years back was $600. I got $4900 in the watch. Right now taxated at $14,000. I’m fooling myself though because I’ve never sold a watch and as long as I don’t need the cash, I won’t.😬
I have a Breitling Navitimer 01 Limited edition. The one with the black dial and white subdials. Beautiful watch!!!. Gets the most compliments. The Navitimer is a legend. Even non watch people recognize it!.
Odat Never fails to amaze me how some people get their jollies by putting down others. You are proud to wear that watch, but others make nasty statements that they feel make them superior somehow. Yet, all it does is put them lower than the whale shit status they worked so hard to reach.
I'd need to remortgage my house to buy one......my casio does all I need from a watch, telling time but I love the engineering and precision required for high end watches, I find it fascinating
Yeah but I have that cash set aside for a wedding (mine) and house/apartment buying. Still got me a TAG though, she's lovely. Got my other half one too, he doesn't know it yet.
2:40 The Breitling watches may be a piece of high end horology but the dude who made the animation doesn't know NOTHING about watchmaking !!! (escapement wheel rotating the WRONG way, pallet not synchronised with the Balance). My toughts are with the poor Breitling craftsmen/women who saw this totally wrong animation for the first time.

I love Breitling watches. The Navitimer chronograph is an icon. I just wish their prices wear lower... more towards the Tudor/Omega price levels. As a result, Breitling watches take a dive in the resale market.
Am totally in awe of the people that build these mechanical masterpieces. A digital watch may be cheaper and more accurate, but they have no soul. Remember when the digital watches first hit the marketplace in the early 1970s. People said that that would be the end of analog watches. That will never happen. There are other brands of watches that are nearly as accurate but much less expensive. High price watches like Breitling are about snob factor and ego.
Complexity of the case, dial and often hands on top with impeccable quality control can't be found in many watches. There are some below Breitling prices, but they're hard to find.
Electric watches are called Quartz watches since they use an Quartz isolator to keep time, yes mechanical watches are more "romantic" and there are a lot being build today for very affordabel prices from respected brands like Seiko, Citizen, Tissot, Orient and Hamilton which cost from 60€ to 400€.
Maybe the person that did the final adjustment on my new Breitling Navitimer 46mm was having a day off when it came to setting my new watch, as from day one it always gained 10 Min: a day. Now at less than 11 months old the Wind++ button has stopped working. One day I might be able to wear it and it'll work. Maybe I shouldn't expect too much, only paying 7k UK. Then again could be that Breitling are rubbish??? Answers on a post card.
I'm a big fan of Breitling ( the aviator 8 unitime is on my wish list), but I think that "6 years of experience" is a bit exaggerated considering that all the watch makers in the video do the same thing over and over again ( + with the help of machines). I think all this automation ( for a mass production sake) has taken the spark out of building watches. The entire process looks like the assembly line of a car :(.
I believe they said that they rotate tasks every now and then. And there are the watches that come in to service. Of which many are not in production anymore. Those may need one person to do it all on a list of different movements.
It doesn't, you have to set it. But if you spend some 10k on a watch then there are things like Perpetual calendars which can even adjust for leap years.
Breitling uses watch mechanisms from Sellita)) for example B 17 calibre it really Sellita sw 200, which in turn is a clone of the original ETA 2824 movement. saving money and losing confidence!
1:58 Best calendar complete chronograph movement in the world? One of the better ones would have been more apt, but "best"? C'mon, that's a bit too much bragging! Claims like these just mislead consumers. Here's a list of just a few world class calendar complete chronograph movements that can better the B01 any day: Zenith El Primero, Omega 9300, Lange Datograph L951.6, the venerable Valjoux 7750, and oh of course Omega caliber 1866, which is the date version of the moonwatch caliber. And I have not yet gone up JLC's alley...
great arn't they!! My superocean 2 went in for servicing 6 weeks ago. £560 plus £300 for additional work. 3 years old WTF ask before you buy. Never again!!!!!!!
Never again? Don't say that, you will regret the thrill of owning one. You will put up with the little quirks. A family friend races cars, owns 1 new and 2 additional vintage Jaguars. Plus he has a RV and truck for the horse ranch. Plus his wife has a Toyota, just in case she needs a car that is reliable. I often would drop him or the wife at the Jaguar mechanic. When I asked the wife if she tires of the hassle of taking the Jaguars in for service; her response "it's so cute that they need pampered." It's the thrill of owning a XXX, something you and I do not understand.
I wear daily a 2018 Seiko Turtle Prospex 200 M Automatic. +- 2~3 second a week. Requires service once every 25 years. It is built like a tank, bullet proof. Think! Which has better : 1. Reliability? 2. Accuracy 3. Value for money?
Colonel E. ... if you sense you’re in need of that type of information a mechanical watch, regardless of manufacturer, will probably be irrelevant to your circumstances. But we do wish you all the best with your intergalactic travels.
Sorry, but I didn't get it! So... after the school years, the new watchmakers have to work another 5-6 years to build new watches? It's like a lego. You have the parts, you know the right order, than you need only one thing: control your hands. How I sad, I didn't get it. (Yes, I already have experience with really tiny parts.)
I don't buy a watch that doesn't tell me the day. That is more important to me then the date. Even Rollex watches don't have the day. I have a Pulsar that has never been in for a repair and it is over 28 years old. I paid $110 for it and it is off about two minutes a year. Since I have to set the time twice a year because we have that stupid Daylight savings, I just turn on my shortwave radio and set it with the time signal. It is close enough for me, I'm not navigating a boat across the ocean.
BEST WATCH I HAD TILL NOW, A PULSAR. IT WENT TO THE ARMY, I PRACTISED LOT OF SPORTS WITH IT, EVEN THE GLASS WAS ALL FULL OF DENTS ALL AROUND....I THROW IT AWAY CAUSE I WAS SICK OF WEARING IT...KIDS... IT WAS EXPENSIVE CAUSE IT WAS OFFERED BY ME BY A RICH UNCLE THAT I HAD. AFTER THIS I STARTED BUYING WATCHES BUT ALL OF THEM NEVER LASTED SO MUCH...I THING I HAVE USED MANY MANY BRANDS... THE CURIOSITY MADE ME RETURN TO PULSAR AGAIN , THIS YEAR, HOWEVER DIDNT FOUND A NICE ONE, SO I BOUGHT AN ORIENT.... WHCIH MOVMTS PULSAR USE, ARE THEY MADE IN HOUSE.?
lkkjhtemmexv yes. They are a sister brand to Seiko, but they keep quite separate. Swiss watches appeal to me, but bang for buck, I’d always go Japanese. I’ve always made money on Seiko watches, they are robust and reliable and look good in the main. G Shocks are amazing too, if you don’t mind going quartz. Finally, any monobloc design Citizen Eco-Drive watches will pretty much last you a lifetime and barely need adjusting.
Ric Trexell sure, but you can buy a ring from a cheap high street jewellery dealer or Tiffany’s, people are paying for the craftsmanship, materials and most importantly the name, a £10 Casio digital is more accurate as it’s a quartz electronic system but that not the reason people are buying these. It’s something of a status symbol, jewellery and something to marvel at the complexity.
I’m obsessed with automatic watches. Breitling are just a thing of absolute intricate beauty. No one builds watches like the Swiss. THE worlds leaders and pioneers.

Just inherited a Bentley special edition and i love it….where do i get serviced.
i love the fact that watches are still made by HUMANS
Except Rolex lol
I just saw some assembly by hand. All hte machining is done with CNC, and also all the critcal assembly.
Not exactly by humans though. Even as far back as 30 years ago, yes. Not anymore. The small components of a watch are made with precision with machines and computers. The designs are made on computers.
as a watchmaker i can tell you none of these parts are made by hand anymore, you have to go back around 80 years for that

Is not ETA 7750 Is a valjoux 7750 età 7750 dose note exist on this Planet..

Amazing someone can buy a $100,000 and all the cool stuff is unseen !
Is it the bearing whell
Is made from gold ??
Double Nium Late reply but I think the wheels are all made of brass.
Also late reply, most watches don't use "bearings" as such, but they use jewels, things like ruby's, sapphires, as bearings.
Only women can make the B01 as badass as it is... Respect.
I want one!

99.9% accurate, what does that even mean? That it's 0.1% off a day? 0.1% of a day is almost one and a half minute which is terrible accuracy
This video is not for the most informed watch connaisseurs ^^
Most won't ever notice.
lol
swiss watches...made to broke you off.
I think he said chronograph is 99.9% accurate
The chronograph runs at the same accuracy as the seconds, or very close.
3,600 x 24 = 86,400
86,400 x .99992 = 86,393
Seems pretty accurate.

My Breitling date changes at 4am. How can this be fixed
By sending it to them for a service. Was this always the case? Because if not it could indicate that it really needs a service.
Breitling reminds parachute space jump.
Mechanical watch phenomena is not necessarily a Breitling one.
6:30 Looks like a non-Breitling watch!
Hmm) I think she made it herself))
+Alex Fedoseyev that would be really cool😂

How does the date feature account for months with 30 or less days?
Like Rolex, probably doesn't. I have to adjust mine every time the month is less than 31 days.
It doesn't, you have to set it. But if you spend some 10k on a watch then there are things like Perpetual calendars which can even adjust for leap years.
Thank God my movement is hand made.
are you still sure, hand made？
Thank hand my movement is God made
Wow

It is close enough for me, I'm not navigating a boat across the ocean.
rolex day-date watches are actually very common
Do you not know what day it is ?
BEST WATCH I HAD TILL NOW, A PULSAR. IT WENT TO THE ARMY, I PRACTISED LOT OF SPORTS WITH IT, EVEN THE GLASS WAS ALL FULL OF DENTS ALL AROUND....I THROW IT AWAY CAUSE I WAS SICK OF WEARING IT...KIDS... IT WAS EXPENSIVE CAUSE IT WAS OFFERED BY ME BY A RICH UNCLE THAT I HAD.
AFTER THIS I STARTED BUYING WATCHES BUT ALL OF THEM NEVER LASTED SO MUCH...I THING I HAVE USED MANY MANY BRANDS...
THE CURIOSITY MADE ME RETURN TO PULSAR AGAIN , THIS YEAR, HOWEVER DIDNT FOUND A NICE ONE, SO I BOUGHT AN ORIENT....
WHCIH MOVMTS PULSAR USE, ARE THEY MADE IN HOUSE.?
lkkjhtemmexv yes. They are a sister brand to Seiko, but they keep quite separate. Swiss watches appeal to me, but bang for buck, I’d always go Japanese. I’ve always made money on Seiko watches, they are robust and reliable and look good in the main. G Shocks are amazing too, if you don’t mind going quartz. Finally, any monobloc design Citizen Eco-Drive watches will pretty much last you a lifetime and barely need adjusting.
Ric Trexell sure, but you can buy a ring from a cheap high street jewellery dealer or Tiffany’s, people are paying for the craftsmanship, materials and most importantly the name, a £10 Casio digital is more accurate as it’s a quartz electronic system but that not the reason people are buying these. It’s something of a status symbol, jewellery and something to marvel at the complexity.
