Received the Navitiimer B 01 from my girlfriend just last week and I was blown away. By the watch and that she gave me a Breitling for my birthday. I've never had a Breitling before and I can't stop looking at it...so happy.
Absolutely fascinating video! His comments about the robustness of Seiko movements and the reason why a high-end movement is more expensive to service than a lower-end movement with the same complications were fascinating. His art is behind the desk with a watch, but you should definitely get him on camera as much as you can!
This was a very refreshing and informative video. Loved Hans! Honest and knowledgeable. Wish there was more content like this around for watch lovers (as opposed to consumer reviews or sales discussions).
Hans should be on every week. The RUclips watch community is almost completely void of people who know the more technical aspects of watches, let alone people who’ve actually worked on watches. Hans is a breath of fresh air, as is his honesty. I heard about him on a recent watch podcast and came to check him out. They were right, he’s great. Subscribed.
Thank you - the Patek service cost answer was super. Something a lot of people don't understand about business. I'll steal that example shamelessly to help explain risk!
Hans is my favorite part of the channel. I learn so much. Great to know the reason certain basic high end movements have such high servicing costs is because of the risk involved.
I watched this video a couple years ago. I purchased a Navitimer with the B01 today. It’s Huge purchase for me considering everything else I could buy for the same price. Watching this made me realize I’ve been wanting a watch with this movement for so long that I’ll always appreciate what it is.
More Hans please! Your best video ever. "Buckets of sand"! Rare honesty and not name dropping, not afraid to say good things about Breitling and Seiko. Topic ideas: 1. More info about Breitling models to avoid. 2. Reveal the industry secrets about which Swiss watches are really mostly made in China, or in Chinese factories in Europe. And which are not. If you dare. 3. Discuss independent German brands (Sinn, Damasko, Junghans, Dievas, more) vs Swiss conglomerate brands. thx!
It is fascinating to have technical insight like this, which is very rarely happens on RUclips (at least in an interesting fashion). Please keep up the good work!
As an aside, I also really enjoyed the comments regarding radium dials. I was in charge of our local municipal water utility in another state when we discovered high levels of radium in our drinking water. We were the first public water utility in our state fully permitted to remove radium. It’s no joke.....you don’t want that on your wrist or anywhere on your body. Our water treatment plant operators were issued dosimeters to monitor their exposure once the removal equipment was fully operational.
More Hans, without a doubt. He speaks very directly and therefore comes across as a very honest person, which is very very positive in this industry, that is filled with so much marketing BS.
Good job Federico bringing in a master watchmaker to answer questions we all really want to know the answers to....please bring him back. Most watch viewers are tired of knowing more than what most retailers don know...we want to know the juicy details about where our money goes
Man... haven’t watched a vid in a while and this was just what I needed. The rapping back and forth was super educational and entertaining. Also, Fed you are still slimming down. Great job!
Great content, thanks! The whole ETA/Selitta movement thing is interesting. In the car world, for example, Lotus uses some of the same Toyota engines in Camry's and RAV4's, and charges $90-120k for their cars. A watch's dial, bezel, crown, case and bracelet are like a car's body, chassis and driving dynamics. That, along with marketing, history and prestige, are what you're paying for, if the engines are all the same.
I’m going back and forth between the Navitimer B01 43mm and the DATEJUST 41mm. I use the chronometer. I’ll for SURE enjoy utilizing the slide rule. On the other hand I like the jubilee bracelet on the DATEJUST. If I could, I’d grind away the Rolex crown on the face and just leave the “Rolex”. My “issue” is how Rolex has become a status symbol. I appreciate them for their in-house movements. My uncle’s DATEJUST is 40 years old. Just had it serviced for the first time last year. Keeps perfect time. As dumb as it sounds, I don’t want to be wearing a DATEJUST and have to deal with the occasional having to explain that I DIDN’T get it because it a “Rolex”, but because of the quality of the movement. I’ve never been asked about my speedmaster, except from other Watch dudes. My watches aren’t “safe queens” either. I use ‘em. I cut the yard, swim, hit the gym, and whatever else with my Speedmaster. It’s got dings and scratches. You can’t take ‘em when you check out, so enjoy them. My problem now is just figuring out which Watch I won’t be able to “take with me” when I die - DATEJUST or Navitimer B01 43mm…
I have 2 Breitling Watches, a "Superocean II 42" and a "Navitimer Chronograph 41" both with ETA. But the next step will be a Breitling with a B01 Movement. Maybe the new Chronomat or a Premier. Great Channel and greetings from Germany :)
Frederico and Hans are the best! Everything you should know about watches is conveyed here with a lot of humor. I look forward to the next conversation with Frederico and Hans!
Hans appearing fortnightly would be great! Simply love those little golden nuggets of information that he provides whenever he has the time to share his knowledge.
Standard - adjusted in two positions; accuracy of +/-12 sec/day up to +/- 30 sec/day Elaborated - adjusted in three positions; accuracy of +/-7 sec/day up to +/- 20 sec/day Top - adjusted in five positions; accuracy of +/-4 sec/day up to +/- 15 sec/day Chronometer And if it were say a SW220-1, for example, premium and COSC movements are incabloc vs std and premium that use novodiac
Vostok Watchie I suppose technically the question was if their were any mechanical differences between the 4 grades of 2824 which as I understand it their isn’t like say the SW220... BUT... the deference between the 4 grades for all those companies that take these off the shelf and maybe replace the rotor but certainly don’t regulate, decorate or modify is pretty significant as again I understand
First off Hans is a badass he's just good to watch his casual nature absolutely amazing he just gives you a sense of confidence that you can believe exactly what he saying excellent video excellent video
Nice collaboration video, i enjoyed it. A few constructive criticisms: you did cut him off a few times while he was still speaking and when you did that, it changed the direction of the flow of the conversation. We would have wanted him to elaborate further and its a shame we didnt get that chance. Its not often that we get to see him, so please let him do most of the talking on these kinds of videos (80/20 rule perhaps?). The other thing that disappointing me on delray watch is not seeing the movement details in the watch description section, they mostly say "automatic"- i would prefer to see "2824 - Automatic" as an example. Us watch people would prefer that.
More Hans please. I want to hear more about the diffrence between ETA vs Sellitta. I know you guys have made a video about it before but that was a time ago. And i haved read that Selitta now have steping up in the game lately. Great video.
Hey Fed, Always enjoy your content and definitely enjoy hearing Hans speak on watches from the perspective of a true watchmaker, he seems like cool guy who is genuinely passionate about his craft.
This was one of the most interesting watch videos I’ve seen. It was a great idea to bring a master in for this q and a. It’d be cool to keep the same format and go longer when time permits.
Love this, one of the reasons i subscribed. But you gotta let Hans talk more, and just listen to his answers without adding or interrupting while he talk. It'd be nicer.
More Q&A:s with Hans! 👍 Love the channel and the thing having a German "Uhrmacher" onboard add a bit of "bazinga". Keep up the great work Federico ( und Hans! )👌 Sincerely / Mr. Näckdal - your guy in Sweden
fred we have to thank u . wee need a oppinion from a watchspecialist,,,about the dilema of eta 2824,,,all content was very good..we apreciate hans couse he knows what he say....
My datejust movement is a disaster. GS and the ETA in my Sinn has no problem at all, but the Rolex caved after a few years. One very annoying thing is the ticking getting louder at the 6 to 12 side of the watch. If it’s on the nightstand it can wake me up. No longer a problem though because it doesn’t even wind anymore.
Great video Fed! Thank you for bringing Hans back on the show. His insight and expertise are very interesting to listen to. Looking forward to his next cameo!
As a Breitling B01 owner, this video made me happy.
🎯🎯🎯
me 2
As a Tudor black bay heritage chronograph owner, ditto.
@@jpbernie72 tudor is great but just a tad below Breitling..
Received the Navitiimer B 01 from my girlfriend just last week and I was blown away. By the watch and that she gave me a Breitling for my birthday. I've never had a Breitling before and I can't stop looking at it...so happy.
Hans is so charismatic, I would subscribe to his channel if he had one.
I agree, he was a great edition to the video. I need to find a master watchmaker for my channel ! lol
Like many people who actually do things instead of just talking about them.
Great to see Hans on the channel, you should get him on more often, love the channel keep up the good work
I agree its great to hear Hans's insight.
We need much more of Hans on this channel. It’s great to hear from an actual insightful knowledgable person about watches!
Absolutely fascinating video! His comments about the robustness of Seiko movements and the reason why a high-end movement is more expensive to service than a lower-end movement with the same complications were fascinating. His art is behind the desk with a watch, but you should definitely get him on camera as much as you can!
Hans is a cool guest...actually he is more likeable than most watch reviewers on RUclips
This is awesome. We need Hans on more, Delray watch is so lucky to have him on the team, what a legend!
Let’s hans show us more on his desk or work
that would be pretty cool to see
Customary wrist watch check “I am wearing my own machine that I made” Hans is at another level! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
You’re right. I had no idea that was the basis of the cost differential in the service.
This was a very refreshing and informative video. Loved Hans! Honest and knowledgeable. Wish there was more content like this around for watch lovers (as opposed to consumer reviews or sales discussions).
Great to have Hans back. I could listen to him all day. He has so much knowledge and insight into the world of watches.
def was a great edition to the video and the first video I have caught with him in it
Hans should be on every week. The RUclips watch community is almost completely void of people who know the more technical aspects of watches, let alone people who’ve actually worked on watches. Hans is a breath of fresh air, as is his honesty.

All fantastic questions, please have this more often. 👍🏻
Thank you - the Patek service cost answer was super. Something a lot of people don't understand about business. I'll steal that example shamelessly to help explain risk!
I'm only 4:45 into this video and am really loving this approach with Federico and Hans talking and the Q&A. Best video I've seen from you yet!
Can Christoph Waltz play Hans in the “Federico Talks Watches” movie?
😂😂😂 Without a doubt!
thats a bingo
I think that he would prefer Ryan Gosling.
The BEST watch video I've watched in years. 5 stars. PLEASE do these videos again
Hans is my favorite part of the channel. I learn so much. Great to know the reason certain basic high end movements have such high servicing costs is because of the risk involved.

I have a B01 and it’s so great to hear a professional like Hans to wax lyrical about the B01
The episodes with Hans are pure gold! Thanks for the vids Fed!
It is fascinating to have technical insight like this, which is very rarely happens on RUclips (at least in an interesting fashion). Please keep up the good work!
Every time Hans is on the channel I learn something new. Big thumbs up for both of you.
I have watched so many of these episodes over the years and I find this to be one of the most interesting. It is always great when Hans joins the fun.
As an aside, I also really enjoyed the comments regarding radium dials.

Man, your "ask a watchmaker" videos are quite good. Keep up the good work.
Very informative Fedrico, need to do more of these and for longer. Do not know any other watch channel that does this so you have a niche here.
Good job Federico bringing in a master watchmaker to answer questions we all really want to know the answers to....please bring him back. Most watch viewers are tired of knowing more than what most retailers don know...we want to know the juicy details about where our money goes
I love these videos with Hans! Thanks for having him on. Always a pleasure to hear a watchmaker’s perspective.
Man... haven’t watched a vid in a while and this was just what I needed. The rapping back and forth was super educational and entertaining. Also, Fed you are still slimming down. Great job!
Great interview, I have read other watchmakers that have said that the B01 movement is one of the best chronograph movements out there.
This is one of the best videos, content wise, that I've seen here or anywhere. Thanks for putting this out.
Great Q&A with Hans, please do this again. Perhaps a Hans series?
Great to see Hansy on the channel again. Good stuff. 👍⌚
More to come!
Very informative! Thanks
I love to get Hans’ (Mr. Watchenegger) knowledge and perspective. Keep up the good work!
Great content, thanks! The whole ETA/Selitta movement thing is interesting.

As an engineer, I really enjoyed the technical talk based on experience. Yes, more Hans please.
I’m going back and forth between the Navitimer B01 43mm and the DATEJUST 41mm.

Wow very good to have Hans' insights on the show!
Interesting show, great Q&A.
Listening to Hans is hands down the most valuable and interesting watch content on RUclips. Priority viewing every time. Much more please!!! 😬👍
Hans could do a few vids on how us watch geeks can take better care of our watches! I’d love Hans opinions on different movements etc. best regards
I have 2 Breitling Watches, a "Superocean II 42" and a "Navitimer Chronograph 41" both with ETA.
But the next step will be a Breitling with a B01 Movement. Maybe the new Chronomat or a Premier.
Great Channel and greetings from Germany :)
Frederico and Hans are the best! Everything you should know about watches is conveyed here with a lot of humor. I look forward to the next conversation with Frederico and Hans!
More of these with Hans, the two of you together are great!
Hans appearing fortnightly would be great! Simply love those little golden nuggets of information that he provides whenever he has the time to share his knowledge.
Hans meeds to appear every six months or so! He brings a different dimension to the channel!😍
Excellent Qs and As session. Really appreciate Hans’ input. Great to have an expert tell us how it is. Love your watch channel.

And if it were say a SW220-1, for example, premium and COSC movements are incabloc vs std and premium that use novodiac
You're right about that. It's not "just marketing" and I'm surprised Hans wasn't aware of this...
Vostok Watchie I suppose technically the question was if their were any mechanical differences between the 4 grades of 2824 which as I understand it their isn’t like say the SW220... BUT... the deference between the 4 grades for all those companies that take these off the shelf and maybe replace the rotor but certainly don’t regulate, decorate or modify is pretty significant as again I understand
Best interview I’ve seen in a long time, among any watch channels! So informative, I learnt a lot!!
🤔 Very educational! I never thought i would say this as a guy but yes " I want more Hans!" 😁
Love to have the watchmaker there, more of this please 👍🇳🇴
Hans is great!! Appreciate his honesty and expertise and industry and product knowledge!! Come back Hans!!
Listening to Hans' comments is great. We want (at least a little bit) more!
First off Hans is a badass he's just good to watch his casual nature absolutely amazing he just gives you a sense of confidence that you can believe exactly what he saying excellent video excellent video

Great to hear from a master watch maker. Very illuminating. Thumbs Up from India Frederico
Excellent video. I love that the movements discussed are being clarified for quality vs marketing. Great job Fed and Hans.
Always good to see Hans on the channel Fed. What a lovely chap.
Really great information. I took away several really good points - differences in movement grade, why service costs vary
Loved this video, Fed. Definitely want more videos with Hans.
More Hans please. I want to hear more about the diffrence between ETA vs Sellitta. I know you guys have made a video about it before but that was a time ago. And i haved read that Selitta now have steping up in the game lately.
Great video.
Watchbox studios have a video on this👍
@@tonycuroni Tanks, I'll check it out.
Commenting cause I wanted to do more than thumbs up. Excellent content!!
Hey Fed, Always enjoy your content and definitely enjoy hearing Hans speak on watches from the perspective of a true watchmaker, he seems like cool guy who is genuinely passionate about his craft.
More Hans for sure, it's great to hear his opinions.
Love my 43mm breightling 01 Swiss air navitimer with the b01.
Great! More Hans please! Greetings from Germany! 👋🏻😃
Fed, its awesome when Hans is on, it's so entertaining and informative. Great video!!!
Fantastic video! You should bring Hans in more often to help review new models and movements! The honest 2824 answer was refreshing and aggravating.
Great info
Make Hans a monthly regular!!!
not a bad idea
Thanks. Great content!
Like to hear more about Hans PoV in watch making.
This was one of the most interesting watch videos I’ve seen. It was a great idea to bring a master in for this q and a. It’d be cool to keep the same format and go longer when time permits.
This is a great video. He is so precise with his answers instead of those watch gurus who gave politically correct or in between answers.
Great video and educational. We need more of these types of videos.
Really enjoyed the content.....great to get some honest, unbiased straightforward comments!
Man...this one was freaking awesome Fed!! Learned so much. Please bring Hans back to share his knowledge for us novice watch collectors.
Nice to see that Delray Watches has a professional watchmaker. I like the story of radium watches living watches dials marks on bones.
Love this, one of the reasons i subscribed. But you gotta let Hans talk more, and just listen to his answers without adding or interrupting while he talk. It'd be nicer.
Great episode! Nice to see someone who tells he truth about "overpriced bands". Also, good on Frederico to shopfront someone with no axe to grind.
Hans did great. I love brutal honest opinions from knowledgeable people. More like this please! :)
More Q&A:s with Hans! 👍
Love the channel and the thing having a German "Uhrmacher" onboard add a bit of "bazinga".
Keep up the great work Federico ( und Hans! )👌
Sincerely / Mr. Näckdal - your guy in Sweden
Hans spitting fire in this video. No games
Excellent to have Hans back on!
100% want to see more, super informative, thanks and keep it up
Well at least he didnt say the full name: Karlstein an der Thaya
Always nice to see a fellow austrian!
I just buy my first heritage 2 46mm superocean. All black with rubber ..so satisfying 😌
Great show, encore please! Also I'd like to get a better look at his watch, it looked fantastic. A high horology 2824.
Great episode Q&A with Hans well 'chaired' by Fed. Quality product here!
Good idea Federico. I would like to see more of Hans.
I’d love to see the blue dialed version of your Leaureatto in one hand and a Royal Oak with blue dial in your other hand just to compare the dials.
fred we have to thank u . wee need a oppinion from a watchspecialist,,,about the dilema of eta 2824,,,all content was very good..we apreciate hans couse he knows what he say....
Congrats Federico, great sharing of information and knowledge! Really appreciated!
My datejust movement is a disaster. GS and the ETA in my Sinn has no problem at all, but the Rolex caved after a few years. One very annoying thing is the ticking getting louder at the 6 to 12 side of the watch. If it’s on the nightstand it can wake me up. No longer a problem though because it doesn’t even wind anymore.
We need more Hans, for sure!
Great video Fed! Thank you for bringing Hans back on the show. His insight and expertise are very interesting to listen to. Looking forward to his next cameo!
This will become a classic ,it’s not often you see watch makers talk openly about movements.
