    I enjoy watching highly skilled crafts people at work on intricate machinery. The fact that these folks do it on parts that are so small makes it even more fascinating. Thank you for this video Andrew and when can we have another?

    Watching watchmakers do their thing is easily one of the most relaxing, meditative things I can think of. Love this!

    • @VWatchie
      @VWatchie Год назад

      Interesting comment as a watchmaker must be in a completely relaxed and meditative state not to get the shakes and make a mess.

    Incredible video. More of these please! It's incredibly fascinating and satisfying to see inside the institutions that we think about daily.
    The quality of the editing and voice-over match that of the work being shown.

    Kudos to Vacheron Constantine's team of highly dedicated craftsmen for giving us a view of what it's like building a watch. Thank you for this Andrew, I could watch them over and over and still enjoy it.

    I bought a Vacheron Constantin from Watchfinder pretty covid. Im so glad i did, this makes me feel proud to love the brand for what they stand for. I could have bought a Rolex for the same money, but somehow i don't think I would be writing this now. Well done for the video and Thank you V.C. for being yourselves and not some hyped up brand.

  • @siongheeleong8078
    @siongheeleong8078 Год назад +2

    This is what I have been waiting for from Watchfinder for a long time. The work done by these maisons need to be shown and shared - to appreciate the delicate artistry that goes into the higher end watches and why they cost so much.
    I am seeing 10k views so far and less than 1k likes/thumbs up. Really disappointing that the likes are so few. For those who are watching it more than 5x, I hope you have shared the video with more people.
    p.s. I hope Watchfinder & Co. team were allowed to go through VC's archives to show the extent of their watch designs and collections of the past.

    • @wisamal-hakim5531
      @wisamal-hakim5531 Год назад

      Most subscribers are still going to be after status baubles. And not especially bothered about the painstaking process of hand made watch manufacture.
      That’s why Andrew and Tom have had to resort to comedy heavy watch related sketches to attract subscribers. The same crowd who watch nico et Al. It’s what sells on RUclips unfortunately

    I had this watch a few days after release (lovely AD!). I’ve a just-under 7” wrist.
    I’m a fan of 36mm DJ and OPs, and whilst I’ve had Subs, Planet Oceans and Seamasters, I’ve gravitated toward 36mm sizes now (mostly because I don’t want the lugs to hang over, even from the side profile).
    I found the watch fit superbly at 37mm and was beautifully made. It wore like a 37.5/38mm to me (the Certina DS Action Diver was another 38mm I tried before the Tudor, and it wore similar in my mind). If you like the aesthetics, I’d heartily recommend it! Get it on wrist and try it.
    In the end, I sold it to another watch lover (IDGuy, if you know him) as I truly seem to have found my preference and prefer plain bezels, such as those found on an OP. Go figure…!

    This is exactly what you expect when you buy from a company like Vacheron Constantin or Patek Philippe. Even, begrudgingly, Audemars Piguet. I could watch hours of b-roll over some relaxing music. Amazing video and thanks for sharing.

    I am blown away by the amount of skill these people have. Silly with my eyesight and otherwise dexterity is gone where I can't even change the spring pins on a watch band anymore. I do hope these people are paid well for their skills.

    It's been recommended before. You guys should do some spots with Stian Lofstad of Vintage Watch Services and Joe of the Nekkid Watchmaker. Both are very skilled and knowledgeable watch restorers and are very entertaining as well.

    Vacheron has such an appreciation for their history, that the original spare parts are indexed and stored in drawers. I don't see Rolex restoring any of their timepieces to spec in order to preserve the legacy.
