Filled with the pulses of numerous ticking watch hands, this short documentary from the UK filmmaker Marie-Cécile Embleton profiles a London-based Iranian watchmaker as he muses on the delicate and temporal nature of his work. As Faramarz meticulously polishes wood, shapes metal and positions springs, his personal philosophy emerges - one that values the minutiae of moment-to-moment experiences, and finds craft in all things. Beautifully shot and carefully constructed in a manner that mirrors the work of its subject, The Watchmaker was a film festival favourite in 2017, appearing at the SXSW Film Festival and HotDocs, among others.
#handmade #time #documentary
That were some intense stunningly, yet calm 9 minutes. Great work!
l've never seen a watchmaker that didn't _LOVE_ the craft! They are a special bunch!
This was absolutely brilliant. I feel so calm and so serene now. Thank you.
An inspired filmmaker, an inspiring short documentary. Thank you.
I feel like I've gained 10 culture points
He would make a great teacher, very peaceful, humble ,..and patient ..a beautiful man.
He and his works are absolutely beautiful. Bless him.
Terribly beautiful, terribly sad, and terribly true.
So many beautiful scenes and light works.
What a solid honest man. The reference to watches are like humans, full of energy and ticking like a clock relation to the human heart. As a watchmaker's and a pair micro machinists living in a rural California desert town, I can see me and best friend Patrick being just like this man in about 20 more years. I think we will be just as happy as he appears to be.
"Everything is craft...". That is so true, but only when the mind and soul are wholeheartedly in it.
Becoming obsessed with the life of a watchmaker and wondering if I should become one.
Amazing Work, Congratulations
a piece of art
really really nice video about an incredible man
Thank you!
How does one get access to his watches?
BEAUTIFUL
He must be the few that can really see how fast time goes by.
timeless.
I couldn't resist making that pun.
Dude has a lot of time on his hands, I could watch this all day.
Looked for his watches online... Faramarz, etc. Couldn't find any. That seems odd. Anybody find them?? Maybe he doesn't sell them.
While I watch this in my $40 Casio lol. It will never leave my collection
The art of zen
I'd like to send you a watch design and have you make it..
Ugh, I can't find anyone to make the watch for my husband!!
Yup.
#ASMR!
I wish I could be a horologist, but my hands just aren't steady enough.
What you spend your time on.
This is the pretentious shit that I absolutely LOVE.
J Paulson It isn't pretentious. This guy has found a meaning and a way to chill out, and you might not agree with it, but this is his version of happiness. It is the complete opposite of pretense - it is honesty.
Agreed. He doesn't seem pretentious at all. A 10 minute video where he says like 3 things is pretentious, and I love it. Claro?
YOU GUYS SEE PRETENTIOUS. I SEE LOVE.
Ha! ....Its all you have. (Something that you have not earned but need to spend wisely)
Daaamn that dude is smoking a big or' doobie!
and he smokes. so.....
Interesting right? Perhaps thats important.
Wow, I didn't know Fidel Castro was a watchmaker 😺🤙👏
