    I'd love to hear your feedback on content like this. Does it work? Do you want more, if so which brands/watchmakers would you like?
    Cheers, Adrian

      I loved it! First brand that comes to mind is Gronefeld from the Netherlands.

      Absolutely love the content! Especially with smaller independent brands, meeting (or hearing from) the watchmaker is a big part of the purchasing decision. Knowing their history, innovation and dedication help inspire confidence when you are making a 5 digit purchase for a timepiece that only an obsessive watch nerd would recognize.

      It’s a pass from me. Well shot and edited but to be honest I did not connect with them or the brand. Maybe pt 2 with watches featured will be more interesting for me.

      Weiss & Bremont would be interesting from your perspective.

      Thanks mate. It was one of those videos I had nothing to add but to just listen.

    Oh MAN! I have such a thing for Armin Strom. And I loved every second of this video! Just absolutely gorgeous videography to capture such amazing watches. 💕 these are my favourite kinds of videos.

    Really enjoyed this view of the passion these men have for their art and skill. I love their desire to remain faithful to the heart of what it means to be a watchmaker, whilst pushing their skill into the future. Thank you. More please.

    Awesome content, thank you! It was great to hear the motivation and passion that drives them in first person and not an interpretation of it. Beautifully shot, delicately executed video! I hope to see more like this one! Oh, and on a side note, I salute you Adrian the way you just introduced the topic and gave all the floor to the watchmakers. I feel it is the right way though the majority of YT content creators would make it about themselves... You are doing so effing well!

  • @typebflieger
    @typebflieger 2 года назад +1

    Well done, Adrian! I loved that you didn’t show the watches much at all, and when you did, it was in the final 1/4 of the video. This helped focus the audience on the story of this brand and their craftsmanship, instead of being solely focused on the “money shots” of their watches. I hope you get the chance to do more of this style of video.

    Thank you Adrian for this fascinating look into Armin Strom. The watches they produce are just the embodiment of artistic perfection. They strike the perfect balance of looking quite intricate and polished, while not appearing too cluttered and busy. That is not something that many skeletonized brands can pull off.

  • @davidb5720
    @davidb5720 2 года назад

    I loved it Adrian. That was fun and delightful to see. Do more of these please. That is how I have always felt about watches ... The real beauty for me is that mechanical movement. To keep it covered up was like hiding the soul of the watch. One can only dream of having one...

  • @patrickklein223

    @thereismoretolifethanrolex 2 года назад +1

    Lovely video; exactly the right tone, beautifully shot (although that's never in doubt with your content, always perfection), informative, and I love the respect they show in always referring to him as Mr Armin Storm.
    I've ordered a Dornbluth so if you could do one with them in about seven months, I might get to see it on the bench 😁

    • @Jasonkenny-

      I’m a Brit working in Slovenia…they always refer to senior managers as Mr…so I’m Mr Jason. It’s a respect thing here, I’m guessing the same in Switzerland.

    Fantastic video Adrian! I’d love to see more content like this. There are so many brands to choose from, I think that as long as the brand has integrity, makes quality watches and are willing to tell their story then it will be great. There wasn’t much more than a glimpse of the watch but the video was still interesting right to the end and very different to anything else out there.

  • @samnathan2709
    @samnathan2709 2 года назад +1

    Always find things like this interesting, seeing inside the factory. Incidentally that was the most innocuous looking building from the outside, who’d have thunk it contains that?
    If I can give one suggestion - get Greg Wallis presenting and shouting “WWOOOOOWWWW” at everyone

    As a long long time viewer I have to say your film making is awesome and has moved on so much. I don’t know this brand so personally I would have started with a few actual watches so I could get some ‘buy in’ as I’m meeting these people and hearing about them building…something? Something I don’t yet know about…less engaged. But that’s just my opinion, well done on your journey so far, inspirational!

    I don't know if I'm ready for a naked watch, in my collection. I'm having too much fun with a full-dress watch. Nonetheless, I respect what Armin Strom is doing.

    Do you think I can use Rolex Explorer 2 as a GMT watch? I mean does orange hand can be pointed any time that I want? If it is possible, I think I can use Explorer 2 as a GMT watch

    • @BarkandJack
      @BarkandJack  2 года назад +1

      Hi YJ, the Explorer II is a GMT watch, that's the purpose of the orange hand.

    • @yj.4694
      @yj.4694 2 года назад

      Adrian if you are able to have a one which GMT watch would you purchase ? GMT Master 2 or Explorer 2 ? And what would be a reason?

    @Xavier.B.33 2 года назад

    The idea is cool, and the brand is really interesting. But imho it lacks your personal touch. At the end, it's "just" an interview, that anyone could have done. I would have prefered to have your personal feelings about it, mixed with the interview. The images are great though

    Sorry Adrian, you are a bit back to front here with this presentation, to put things in context, you may have started with the Musée international d’Horlogerie in La ChaMusée international d’Horlogerie in La Chaux-de-Fondsux-de-Fonds, and then gone to see Armin Strom, (this museum is mentioned by one of your interviewees). I'll be in London for Watchpro, so we can meet to discuss. All the best with the good work.
