Correction: Cesium-133 is stable. It's 134 & 137 that are radioactive. (looking forward to all you experts chiming in in the comments)
Wait until they start with the "duhhh a feather cant fall at the same speed as a bowling ball Oisin...." 😂
😂
Oh yeah? I have a bunch of Cesium 137 and it's really stable. So there.

A absolute jewel of a documentary.
Imagine a time when you used your pulse as a standard to measure something else by, instead of the other way around. And then all they way up to the thousandths-of-a-second atomic clock. And in the intervening hundreds of years, the same shapes--the balance wheel, the pallet fork, the mainspring in its barrel--were all there, in different sizes, made of different materials, doing the same job, using the same principle.
It couldn't have been illustrated better. Thanks, Oisín.
You just keep producing better and better videos. The way you make use of history, art, culture, music, science, architecture, scenery, food, drink etc and wrap it all in a watch or time related theme is absolutely incredible and so compelling. Us Irish people don't compliment each other much... but my God... you did an incredible job again with this video.
This should be on TV, in one of those How It's Made type of shows, except it's way higher quality. This is brilliant. You have the gift of storytelling. Thank you for this video.
It's called the Irish gift of the gab.
TV is too dumb for videos like this, people might actually learn something
Another Oisin masterpiece! ❤️⏱️
What’s a TV?
This video is a true masterpiece. Oisin, thank you for all you do for the watch community.
Oisin, I honestly don’t know why the Science Channel, Military Channel, Discovery Channel and the History Channel have not hired you or at least syndicated your productions .
Every video you have come out with is not only entertaining and educational but provocative as well.
There is nobody out on RUclips that can match your productions .
This video is by far one of my favorites that you have done .
By the way it’s no wonder we haven’t seen a Watches and Wonders video besides the Austin Collaboration the other day .
Excellent is an understatement , pure brilliance is more like it .
My hat off to you my friend.
👏👏👏👏👏👏
The pure emotion that comes from the videos like this is why we love you man. Stunning!
Please don’t stop making these videos Oisin, absolutely brilliant. You are so different from all the rest of the same old RUclips gang. The visuals, the music, the information, it’s great. 👏👏
Just when we thought we couldn't love our watches any more .. Thanks Oisin.
It’s nice to see quality content like this in the RUclips watch space. It gets tiresome to only see videos about trading watches on the grey market like they’re commodities on the stock market. Great job, Oisin.
❤❤❤ Finally!
@@TimWrite I think you should try your hand at this style of video with your knowledge it would work.
Another master class from one of the best watch channels on RUclips! Creative, informative and very well created content. Thank you!
These are the videos that set Oisin's channel apart from the other watch channels out there. Brilliant !
This video should have a million views. It’s brilliant, moving, and reminds us why we love this stuff. Thank you.
Well by god, you’ve done it again Osin. You are truly one of, if not THE best artist in the watch content arena today. Thank you.
true!!!❤
I don’t think anyone is even close actually.
One of the best videos I've seen. It must have taken a lot of time and effort to create and produce. Well done, Oisin!
Maybe Double-O’s best production yet. Impressive storytelling, excellent music choices, incredible history, and as always, stunning visuals!
This has to be one of your best videos…actually one of the best videos I’ve watched on RUclips!!!
So educating and informative,I almost feel Vindicated for spending 5k+ on a watch now.
Please keep ‘em coming Oisin…never tire of the content you post!!
This is the kind of history and science content that should be shown in schools, the clarity of the delivery was exceptional. Great content Oisin, keep it up. You deserve a wee dram or two after this,
I don’t believe anybody could make a better video on this topic than Oisin. Or any other topic to be fair. Pure class as always 👌👏
I got into the hobby about a year ago of learning about watches and starting a small collection. This is probably the best and most important video I’ve seen in the last year. It’s finally “clicked” in my head as to what is actually happening inside my watch or any clock. Thank you! Truly an outstanding and informative video.
In the late 1960's I was a young airman at a remote site that depended on precise timekeeping. We were visited every year by a team that hand carried a cesium beam clock to synchronize our clock to the US Naval Observatory in Annapolis. The clock had its own seat on the plane.
Again thank you, you have proven once again you have the best watch videos on the internet. Great job
Your artistry and passion oozes throughout. The Galileo of the watch community. A pleasure to watch (pun intended). Bravo.
The story, pictures, video's, music, sound quality, editing......a true work of art and you have created a masterpiece. Thank you so much!
One of your best yet Oisin. So informative yet creative. Your use of music and cinematic affects are remarkable. Your channel is quite simply the best among all the You Tube watch shows bar none.
You’ve done it again Oisin. Absolutely captivating piece.
This video is an artistic masterpiece. This video demonstrates your ability, talent, class and dignity, that (unfortunately) certain others (you know who you are) lack in the watch world social media space. Keep up the great work Oisín O Malley.
This is you at your BEST Oisin. THANK YOU for the thought provoking content!
Idk what to say…you just keep getting better, my man. Thank you for sharing your art with us.
I thought he was going to talk about why these watches are so expensive, I’m blown out my chair, this man should be doing documentaries on everything in this world what a great presentation in the moments of time, my hats off
Without any business involved his content just oozes so much more passion
This must be one of the best videos about watches, time, history of time calculation out there. Well done man much better than other content we recently get from the channel
I watched a ton of watch content but this one is truly a masterpiece. Bravo.
This is what I love about your channel Oisin. Artful music and visuals, deep research and intelligent commentary. Yours is a watch channel not only for enthusiasts but for those with a deep appreciation and love of time keeping.
Fantastic work Oisin, truly beautiful and artistic demonstration of horology. Must have taken so much time to actually reveal time. Bravo !
What a great video. So unique and gives a great background to the hobby. You constantly raise the bar. I also loved seeing the “behind the scenes” clip you posted on instagram giving a little teaser in what was to come. More of that please!!!!!! Masterclass.
It is an understatement to say that this is a great video. As a mathematician and watch enthusiast, this video is, by far, the most interesting watch-related video I have seen anywhere!
Beautifully articulated, beautifully conveyed, beautifully shot. Well done mate 👍
Bravo Oisin. Never let us down. Thank you for putting so much effort into it. 🙏🏻
Quality content unlike so much watch cr** on YT.
This is the most beautiful and interesting story about watches and time that I have ever seen... To me this is a masterpiece.
Bravo!
It was worth the wait Oisin. Beautifully shot, great editing and the soundtrack is perfect. Well done 👏
Absolutely Amazing content!! It doesn't matter how much money we have we can never buy time. I have parked a small percentage of my money in watches so that I can appreciate my time.
This was so well put together it deserves a prize. The music combined with the explanation of isochronism and what it led to combined with the execution of the cinematography is just sublime.
A true masterpiece, Oisin. Your talent as an educator, is awe inspiring. Bravo my friend.....bravo👏. Thank you for the engaging episode. One of the very best, I believe, that you have ever done, and arguably one of the most important. To both enthusiasts, and collectors, alike. Understanding is key, to everything in life, I believe. Best wishes to you.....
Oisin, I always knew Time was an interesting subject, but you have brought Time to a whole new level, another masterclass of Video making, as someone mentioned earlier, you are an artist, thank you for your time and effort in making these videos for us, please may it continue
wonderfully done, emotional, historically accurate and a bit out of time, because anyone who deals with watches knows that you forget the time. Respect for your beautiful talented work. God bless you Oisin
Very nice. What amazes me is not only that they conceptualized the clock mechanisms, but others were able to make the machines to make the parts exact enough for them to funtion. I do some watch repair and I love my tools as much as my watches.
Brilliant, never disappointing. Thank you for all of your hard work that masterpiece must have taken to make. Bravo
There may be some “Haters” out there. And you consistently being able to put out this masterful content, is exactly why they hate. Well done and Thank you.
This video is a joy
Never seen this explained before in such an engaging manner. As always the production quality and music choice is exceptional.
Well worth the wait. Another masterclass from Oisin. Thank you.
Another gem of a video Oisin. You never miss a ‘beat’ with your ‘precision’ filmmaking. Thank you as always for the excellent content.
WOW, simply WOW!! Oisin, this is a masterpiece that captures the very essence and emotion of why we collect watches!! Absolutely amazing!! BRAVO!!
Another work of art Oisín. This video will become the definitive description of time keeping 👏
You are the Masterclass on RUclips. Great story teller!
This is a masterpiece of historic storytelling and clarity. Bravissimo Oisin.
Awesome film! Please can you tell me what the last piece of music is?
So good I watched it twice. Fantastic effort with this documentary Ush - the time and care you put into this is clearly awesome. Beautiful work.
Oisin, I would love to see you do a video about the Antikythera mechanism that was discovered only 120 years ago off of Kythera island in the Aegean Sea in Greece.
I know you would knock it out of the park.
Being a Greek I am very proud to know that my ancestors were the predecessors of the modern computer and the automatic watch .
Not only a machine that could tell time but show the phases of the moon and all the celestial planets in the sky.
This was truly a machine that was able to tell time and give precise data for many things important to the Ancient Greeks .
It was truly over 2200 years before it’s time .
Imagine if the Antikythera mechanism wasn’t lost 2200 years years ago and it was improved over the centuries just imagine where we would be today .
This is a master class of a video. This beats the breaks off of PBS and BBC documentaries I grew up watching.
ITS ABOUT TIME, that’s the title of a book I read about 22 years ago, fascinating to think it’s just an elusive idea, that’s just an abstract concept, an illusion.
Stunning cinematography Oisin, I was at Emsworth Saturday night to see the FS-1 and all the current ZW watches, its a science right enough, brilliant production, thank you.
WOW this video can actually be shown in a classroom.
This was a truly fantastic video. I learned a ton. I appreciate the pain staking amount of time energy and effort you put into these videos for us.
Probably the best watch content videos on RUclips
Yup, nothing else comes even close. True watch enthusiasm here.
Masterful, this video should be part of the school curriculum, probably the most informative and entertaining way I have seen of explaining timekeeping through the ages!
You watch something like this and then chuckle at the other watch channels 😂 this is the reason to make videos right here
Wow…for some reason this video made me remember the day I purchased my Accutron 214….I was always fascinated by timekeeping and all types of timepieces….I had the original Pulsar….and when I purchased a Rolex Sea Dweller ….well….finally perfection for me….. at least I thought so then. So many more purchases over the years …..this video really makes you think about the beauty of time…and timekeeping. THANK YOU!
True artistry in the creation of this video…Well done Sir.
Oisin, WOW just WOW, I have been watching your video's for about a year, like you I have been fascinated in mechanical watches for about 5 years. First it was video's from watch makers , learning how they work and the history of time keeping, the invention of the Escapement, now well down the rabbit hole. This is your best work yet my friend.
I never liked to wear a wristwatch. However after this video, especially when he says “we wear them because of they are beautiful instruments,perfect mechanism on the wrist…” I started to love them ❤
Video stupendo, come tutti gli altri. I contenuti che carichi sono cortometraggi, documentari, piacere per occhi e orecchie, si percepisce tutto l'impegno che metti dietro. Complimenti!
Words fail me on the quality of your vids, awesome job Oisin!
I can’t tell you how much I love this video, it is just epic. I have watched it 4 times already. The music is great and the Max Richter piece at the end is just so perfect and fits the imagery excellently.
A beautiful documentary that reminds us of our legacy and the convenience we have all inherited.
Many of the ‘stills’ you show are works of art in themselves and would make the perfect framed photograph. Love them all. What a beautiful place to live!
At the age of 70, I have taken up watchmaking as a hobby. The further than I delve into it, the more fascinating it becomes. Highly recommended.
Ive never been so sad that an episode is over i want more 😊
Sorry. I had tons more to say but i wanted to keep this one under half an hour. Can i recommend any of my other videos? Maybe 'Is time real? - interstellar' or 'Dambusters'. Or the recent one on the explorer 2.
@ @Oisín O Malley ive seen every video you every made i watch most multiple times ive been here since the Yachtmaster video all those 3 years ago and from one Irish watch nerd to another you 100% deserve all the success here on YT we also share the same name
Brilliant. Never even thought about how a watch works until now! What a brilliant production Oisin 👏
More content like this please. You killed it.
This is amazing. Thank you for teaching us Oisin!
For a good musician, time is of the essence; that's why Oisin is skilled at making videos.
A beautiful love letter to time and the elegant machines we use to measure it. Spectacular.
I’ve been discovering your videos for while, and it’s a complete breath of fresh air. Like many others, I just want to thank you for your work, Sir. Your documentaries are instructive, inspiring and stunning. Discovering Venice, Verona, Bologna, architecture, art, culture, music, fine wines, and now science … all of that associated with watches, this is brilliant. All the compliments you already got are well deserved. Thank you so much for you amazing work. I keep enjoying it 👏🏻
This is really a wonderful and amazing documentary. Lots of great editing, music and narration.
Your content is next level, this video has not only transcended anything any watch youtuber has ever done, your creative talents are well beyond any other one man band youtuber that I have seen. If I was selfish, I'd say keep it coming, but seriously you are are bound to move into the Producer/creation space where your talents are sorely needed. Thats my opinion. :).
ps, how no one has mentioned the principles actually involved in timekeeping in this manner or at all, is actually insane.
Best youtube channel related to watches and timekeeping. I love your content since the beginning. This is again a masterpiece. So so good 👍🏻
This is a beautiful piece of art and science and engineering. Thanks Oisin!
Bottle of Vacqueyras opened, big screen tv on, sitting back to enjoy this one. Thanks for all your hard work Oisín 👏😎👌
Not even half way through and know it’s one of the best things I’ve seen on RUclips.
What a wonderful explanation of how time is and was measured. Should be shown in schools. Class.
Beautiful documentary. A jewel in the RUclips watch world in my opinion. Thank you for this. 👍😎
Amazing production. Really enjoyed it!!
What a brilliant video. The music throughout perfectly sets the mood of each scene.
This is best watch video I’ve seen! Oustanding storytelling.
When you make proper videos, they’re by far the best in the business. Bravo👏.
So good. Thanks for putting the effort in to make this stuff. Thoroughly enjoyable and informative. I would love to see you make a series about watches on Netflix or some streaming network.
Informative and stunning episode fella. Thank you for producing it and teaching me a thing or two. Your efforts in creating your location episodes, is also much appreciated and enjoyed. Well done . Cheers.
Thanks for that one. And thanks for making me almost cry over my nerdy watch enthusiams.
Really a great video. ❤
Thank you for this awesome video. Instruments taking measures other than time (size, weight, color, you name it) hardly fascinate us as much. Those wondering why may find Sean Carrol's "From Eternity to Here" inspirational. To me, this passion seems unique for a good reason, thus thank you again for celebrating it so poetically... I miss Lenny, btw.
Really enjoy your long form videos mate. Great work.
Stunning video! Your music choices are always spot on. Max Richter is my favorite modern composer.
