- On the road from Geneva to the sleepy village of Le Solliat in the Vallée de Joux, one will drive past the likes of Audemars Piguet, of Patek Philippe, of Blancpain and Breguet, of Jaeger-LeCoultre and Vacheron Constantin. This one road is home to what is the vast majority of the finest mechanical watchmakers on the planet - the epicenters of horological micro-engineering that we fawn over on the wrists of friends, at the annual trade shows, and on auction catalog covers. And yet, when we drove down this very road last month en route to Basel World 2013, it wasn't any of these grande manufactures for which I was giddy with excitement. No, it was a visit to a small schoolhouse turned one-man watch studio that had me grinning from ear to ear. It was a visit to the atelier of legendary independent watchmaker Philippe Dufour, and here we document this incredible morning we spent together: www.hodinkee.co...
"Just good enough to be watchmaker." Turns out to be "arguably" the best watch maker in his generation, who if lived another 200 years can't fulfill the demand for his work.
Yes, he is the best thats fact.
I think it shows that watchmaking is more of a craft than science.
I think Philippe Dufour is a masochist; he is such a perfectionist that he will destroy an entire component if he makes even the tiniest mistake finishing it.
Not only i'm learning a whole lot about watches but i also found Podington Bear thanks to this channel. Keep them coming please!!!!!

Ce serait un honneur pour rencontrer Philipe. J'ai admiré son travail dans les livres et de loin. Peut-être un jour si j'obtiens d'aller à Baselwood je pourrais le rencontrer. Un artisan principal de véritable complique de horlogeriee'. J'écris ceci en français sur le respect que je suis Américain.
Your french is very honorable, old chap.

Dear Mr Philippe,
If I'm gonna die tomorrow. I would definitely like to order a watch from you. That would keep me alive for another 6 years. Everyday would be a pleasure to wait.

That "music" is stepping on too much of the content, it's in the way and too loud.
