Her dad had a great neighbor. My neighbor throws his empty Coors Light cans over the fence.
If you talk to your neighbour , he may throw some pateks and breguets over.You can only ask , no big deal .
Your neighbor has very poor taste in beer
Yeah my neighbours a twat to
Throw those cans back at him!
ROTFL Rolls on the floor laughing..........!!!!!!!
Seeing that rotating escapement - not just an engineering marvel, but a thing of beauty.
This 1904 precision engineering blows me away and its still going more than 110 years later which is even more astonishing.
If you buy a 1960s American car it will have a better engine than anything on the road today.
@@bighands69 Not really. The efficiency of modern engines is much higher today.
@@GoinMLG
Those 1960s engines were long lasting and heavy duty. There is nothing today even with their fancy turbo power management systems that could get close to driving a V8 1960s American car.
The power control and applications on those V8 larger displacement engines are orders of magnitude above anything in the small 4 cylinder cars of today.
@@bighands69 rosy retrospection is killing your brain cells, brother. There's a reason why you don't see many 60's/70's cars on the road today. It's because they weren't as reliable and they weren't as efficient. People make these same exact comments about old appliances, and it's a failing argument from the jump. You can point out plenty of bulletproof engines from every decade. Just because you like cars from the 60's does not mean they had "better" engines than anything manufactured today. You're only kidding yourself with that sentiment.
@@bighands69 'The power control and applications on those V8 larger displacement engines are orders of magnitude above anything in the small 4 cylinder cars of today.' - this sentence is both very specific and meaningless at the same time. Well done.
I was a clock restorer for many years. I sold a Smith & Son's 1840s skeleton clock to Arnold & Son in Geneva for their museum. Smith & Son were exceptional at their craft hence why one of the worlds greatest watchmakers want a example of Smith & Son in their care.
Great story, never happened
How much does it cost to repair a pocket watch case ?
Can you please explain the time left indicator dial, the expert said it tells you how much time is left on the watch before you have to wind it up, so the expert wound it up and the indicator went down not up, showing less time left on the watch before you had to wind it up again, the indicator went from 24 mark, which I assume means full, and went clockwise down, which I assume means less time left. I can't make sense of that at all, it seems to me it's working in reverse?
hi i have a f-91w and the screen is blank. can you help?
Her use of "wind" isn't any worse than the EXPERT'S pronunciation of "tourbillion."
Can't believe he did that as a "watch expert"
You do understand what a homonym is, right? Not a mistake, if she didn't know it was wind not wind.
@@litigioussociety4249 - My point was about the incompetence of the watch expert, not the young lady at all.
I cringed every time he pronounced it. I would think an expert on watches and horology would know the proper pronunciation of such an important movement feature.
i have a watch which displays wind speed
An expert giving his professional explanation on the antique timepiece.
Also the expert: 'Tour-billion'
That made me laugh
Such an American moment
It is funny. But if you think about it, they would be saying it in f****** German if it wasn't for the Americans.
How is it pronounced? Twah-byonh?
@@danacoleman4007 Twice.
I almost started crying when she said "wind"..
Booxwee his pronunciation of tourbillion is worse for a so called expert lol
@@theoneandonlybosable I thought the same!!!
She didn’t say that .... she said “wind”
Booxwee why? She said ‘Wind’ because she meant wind, she was obviously not familiar with the watch and likely thinking it had something to do with wind, or sailing. Not a particularly surprising mistake, and people make mistakes. But this obviously isn’t a mis pronunciation. She just made an error. She is white American. She may have thought it was a barometer type feature.
@@nathanielberkeley-biggs2855 Correct. And he did an excellent job he did not correct her he just spoke of what it really was that's a gentleman and a man.
The wind will blow this watch straight to Christie's auction house
lol
she probably had a buyer at twice the price before she got the car door open
I loved seeing her smile. I loved hearing her talk about the provenance of the watch. She loved her father dearly. She can hand it down to her children. When she explains how valuable it is, she will speak of their grandfather, and the nice man who appraised it.
Antiques are only junk without the people who love and care for them.
Thank you, Antiques Road Show. You made my day with this one.
@@fisherman9435 Yeah pictures are exactly the same thing!
Great Scott when he opened the back cover I thought it was a flux capacitor in there
If you’re gonna find a flux capacitor anywhere, it indeed would be in an intricate time machine. Understandable error!
Not only the pronunciation of tourbillon but also his description; “when it’s lying flat”, gravity would be working equally over the escapement in that case, the whole point is because it is kept upright in a pocket 😂😂
Agreed. The "expert" is not very intelligent. Also, his pronunciation of "Paddick" Philippe had me rolling.
She is SO sweet! 💕
I imagine my great great grandson doing this in 2222 with my Casio.
I doubt your Casio watch will survive till 2222. 😉
Your Casio must be worn by someone special to gain value in the future
@@caverys Haha, probably.
@@jericoba ye tho if Casio stops making watches in the next 50to 100 years they will be rare
@@jericoba I bet it will, if cared for.
The movement on that watch is so beautiful.
The girl is super cute!
Wind!!!
Super dumb
Yea, but unlike her dad she probably didn’t go to M.I.T.
3:45 he said it too
@@antonandraslindamoodwhite5407 I agree. she is really very nice
Super stupid
I would be impressed if it had an actual wind speed indicator.
🤣🤣🤣👌
It must have been a limited edition for aviators. LOL.
No, it says WIND, not wind. LOL, this poor girl thought it said wind. A watch that keeps track of the wind, LMAO!
This woman is beautiful. Her personality is too.
What a lovely watch, presented by a lovely lady. So pleased for her.
That's a fantastic example! Oldest running tourbillion I've seen. Very nice, lucky gal.
*Tourbillon (pronounced "Toor-be-on")
The watch itself is mesmerizingly beautiful. It's the very personification of "they don't make them like this anymore"
Have you SEEN what A. Lange &Sohne and Patek Philippe have been up to?
Watches are one a the few commodities left where that saying actually doesn’t apply. Brands like Patek Philippe and even Rolex are producing watches that are of better quality than ever before with the best materials and craftsmanship. But this is definitely a beautiful watch that I’d certainly love to have in my collection.
@@michaelfleming8490 I'd love one "in my collection" too...then I'd have a rather nice collection of one watch!
You don't know anything about watches, do you?-- oh, omniscient, great one...lol 😂
@@michaelfleming8490 Rolex is overpriced and overrated, I think. They don't have any movements with a tourbillion.
what an absolute unit of an appraiser
Why?
That is just utterly BEAUTIFUL! Oooof my heart
I love pocket watches. My grandpa always had beautiful pocket watches. I really don't see them anymore. When I was around 8 or 9 he died and he left me a pocket watch and I used to take it to school with me all the time
Love her reaction. Very humble.
When she said "wind" i booked a flight to the comments
His pronunciation of tourbillion makes me want to die
suicidepreventionlifeline.org/ - operators are standing by to help.
I gotta get me one of them Tourbillion's!
Get an Era tourbillion! Beautiful watch and cheapest quality tourbillion you can get!
Hi there, welcome to a new episode of 'Never Mind That BS...How Much?!'
That's the real beauty, both of them.
That is a beautiful movement.
She seems genuine. Sweet. Friendly. Honest. 👍
I love her reaction.
Wind.
She never lived that down I bet.
I was waiting for this comment 😂
CYGNUS!
I LOVE that an entire family thought wind, as in blowing, as opposed to wind, like the watch in your hand LOLOL. I KNOW I would do the same!!!!
The best reaction is still that old air force guy with his rolex probbly the best reaction ever old guy fell down after his watch was worth over a million
Over a million? Come on man it was appraised at 500-700k lol. A simple search brings it right up.
Very interesting watch and story, you learn something new every day.
Very pretty and the watch isn't half bad either 😇
"a watch completely different to your watch would retail for $250,000". Yeah, thanks for that
Well, he was just describing the kind of value a tourbillon would add even in a modern market
LOLLLL
@@dudakoff1000
No, he wasn't.....he was blowing smoke trying to justify his price.
I would question the expertise of any "expert" who doesn't know the correct pronunciation of Tourbillon
when he said "wind💨, okay" i died lmao
and he said tor billion
It reminds me of a book I had to read out loud in grade school. A word was split between two lines, child on the top line and ren on the second. I read it as child run instead of children. Yea, my face is still red 35 years later. 😳
@@Jude74 I once read out aloud orgasm instead of organism in class one day. My teacher tried to hold on her laugh.
That escapement looks like a beating heart.
She is the wind beneath my wings.
She is adorable.
She's adorable!
By "adorable" you mean "a bit thick", right?
@@Pwwh0711 meaty beaty big and bouncy.
@@Pwwh0711 She is real woman and it is make it much better. Not like a "chick" whom drink "cocoa" powder and do squats and wears tons of makeup and wearing yoga pants everywhere.
@@someguyfromarcticfreezer6854 I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.
As an expert his description of the wind indicator has to be wrong. He states that is shows how much time is left before the watch will stop ticking. Yet, when he winds the watch the indicator goes down towards zero. I think it must indicate how long it has been since the watch was last wound. Thus zero would indicate that it had just been wound, and 24 would indicate that it needs winding again.
Would have loved to hear more about her dad!
Adorable. Did someone say this was about a watch though?
when you hear "it has an hour hand and a minute hand" you know this is meant for a US audience!!
When you hear "meant for a US audience" you know it's an uppity, peasant making that statement.
Me thinks the uppity peasant may be right though!
still call it big and little hand kid O?
Nah! If it was for US audience he should have said "and the hour hand is shorter than the minute hand". No joke, there are videos on how to refill a Zippo lighter so go figure... ruclips.net/video/pK1BZshpVQ0/видео.html
True
That is a beautiful watch.
Love the blue hands.. very cool.
watch the hand move...oh my god! lol
I'm hoping my sundial collection will be worth something someday; those leather watch bands are not as durable as they claim. They sure keep great time.
Simply amazing
Amazing
If only it told you which direction the wind was blowing🤣
“We know it’s a pocket watch” what gave it away bru?
Her Dad would have loved that little watch , I realy hope she keeps it in the family. I love that little watch .
I hope not. Someone else would actually know what they had, rich or not. And it may actually sit in a museum for others to marvel
The young woman told a beautiful story about her father; short but beautiful.
Rick would give you 40 bucks and he is taking huge risks cuz he has to frame it
rick already has a watch and its really reliable since it survived so many disasters
David M idk if your joking or not but it would be sold to collectors with money. In terms of functionality there is absolutely no use for it because of wrist watches and phones. Its a historical timepiece. Thats it
Booooo. 100th time I've seen that same stupid comment.
40-50 thousand dollars...
Oh my gosh your kidding
Yeah It worth 3 dollars and I'm taking all the risk here.
Oops. Wrong show.
gotta call mark from the clark county museum first
You mean huge risk here
It’s gonna sit on my shelf taking space ......I can do 20$
Rick It’s my final offer
Mr Brown and this watch got along famously
What a fine time piece.
Love those tourbillon movements. I have my eye on a Seagull Tourbillon. And they are affordable too.
They are pretty nice movements for cheap ones. I want a 28,8800 version, most cheaper ones are 21,600 movements.
this is legit rage inducing - ter-billion. my god.
She's preety dope😍😍😍
DON PULUBE is she single? Asking for a friend
Wow. It's even cooler on the inside.
Wind though LOL.
She's super cute!
Can't say I wasn't thinking the same I was.
She's dumb.
That's what I want in a women Super Cute and Dumb.
She is as cute as she is dumb.
She's thicc
Wow, she is a beaut! I mean both of them.
I have a silver pocket watch made in London in around 1760, so 250 years old. Beautiful and still works but I have stopped winding it in fear of something breaking. Old pocket watches like that can still be cheap today despite the age, rarity etc as most people don't value things like that but prefer new stuff regardless how mass produced it may be, only the rarest of these watches has high value.
The cool thing about old watches, you can literally measure their value. With a very great certainty (not perfect ofc), the closer it keeps time, the greater it's value. And this thing rivals all, especially if moved around thru it's test. But even that isn't necessary. As the earth rotates, even a stationary watch is flipped around 360 every 24 hours, and this baby combats that!
Oh wow!
That was a pretty penny in its day. Imagine your neighbor tossing you a patek phillipe timepiece today
in solid gold, no less. makes you wonder what else the neighbor had in his collection
What you see here is a very famous escapement. Its called a turbillion. Until this style of escapement was invented people had to live with watches that only had turmillion or turthousand escapements. These lesser complex escapements were powered by air instead of coiled springs. The "Wind" indicator is to pay homage to all the non-turbillion watches that came before it. The turbillion was invented by Abe Bengay, an very famous Oar-olojist.
I like your effort
I’ve never read such absolute poppycock in my life.
I LIKE Tourbillions. I have one, but I bought mine for the looks of it, you can see through the front face and watch it all work, with a glance! Love it.
please advise if there is any history of SOTO watches. thank you
She got no idea about watch or wind, but she looks so nice..
The watch is powered by the wind blowing on it. Very cool technology.
Casio’s solar-powered watches have got NOTHING on THIS! 😅
the engineering in that thing for being over 115 years old is wild.
The tourbillon was invented in the late 1790's actually. That technology was already over 100 years old before that watch was made. Its cool stuff.
@@android9404 i guess i meant the level of precision in the engineering, how small and tactile everything is.
The most interesting pronunciation of Tourbillion I have ever heard. Never heard anything quite like it.🙄🏴
WOW, this pocket watch is over 100 years old and it still works! And it looks almost like brand new, except for the hairline crack on the dial of the watch.
The hairline crack can be repaired but would be costly.
Meanwhile my less-than-2 year old Samsung Smartwatch is starting to misbehave....
Many old pocket watches much older than that work very well.
He's a watch expert who pronounces "tourbillon" wrong lolololol
He is speaking English, not French, that's how the word is supposed to be pronounced in English. I hate people say Sauteed in stead of Fried.
@@seanleith5312 its a french word. there is no english pronunciation
@@reedroffis2717 yes there is and you're not a watch expert
That spiny thing must have looked like dark magic in the 20s
Forget the watch...what a beautiful, sweet lady.
"My father grew up in Greenwich, Connecticut." That should be the first clue. It's so affluent there even the homeless men have three piece, pin-striped suits.
And a three piece suit looks empty without a watch and chain.
Nice circus costume on the guy. The name is Bozo Terbillion.
That is a beautiful watch
My favourite show
pretty lady with nice voice ☺️
i still got my casio watch and box and recept from wallmart....that baby goin be my retirement fund...oh yes 50 grand easily in a few years
absolutely bbeautiful watch.....looks like it has a beating heart litterally
the way this guy pronounces tourbillon makes it that more worth watching
I have a watch that can tell the temperature, barometric pressure, moon phases, tide phases and I thought "Hey here's one that can tell you the wind speed. How can it do that?...and it's older technology."
She thought “Wind” as in weather!!! Brilliant!!!
wow! A real tour billion!
Can someone explain the time left indicator dial, the expert said it tells you how much time is left on the watch before you have to wind it up, so the expert wound it up and the indicator went down not up, showing less time left on the watch before you had to wind it up again, the indicator went from 24 mark, which I assume means full, and went clockwise down, which I assume means less time left. I can't make sense of that at all.🤔.
Very beautiful. And the watch was nice too...
Doesnt have clue on Patek pricing.
Indeed he does not.
Anyway seeing this should try to find online an episode of Only Fools and Horses. It was a comedy series on UK TV. The one I'm taking about is where Del's partner's father finds a missing Harrison watch in Del and Rodney's garage. They are small time traders of various items, often of "dubious" origin. Harrison entered the competition to provide a timepiece to accurately judge longitude at sea. The piece eventually goes to auction.
The back of that watch with the view to the movement is so cool. I want a really nice watch but I have such girly wrists lmao.
She's probably thinking "THAT's why this thing didn't do anything when I held it out the window on the freeway!!"
What the heck is a “tor-bill-yon”??!!
The appraiser explained it in the video. That's the way it's pronounced in London.
@@kenc2257 he never once said what it was. He did explain what a tourbillon was though.
Ask the people who live in Beauchamp Place in London.
Very funny and a really special watch
I love me some Tor Billion watches LMAO.
