    I am not into watches at all. Or really time or keeping track of time but I can not believe how much a testament this is what humans are capable of. The highest of the highest art form where all of our past knowledge is represented by a watches of this level.

    This is awesome for so many reasons. This guy seems very basic no fancy clothes simple food cuts his own wood for is cabin creates his own steel a person very in tune with nature but yet he is creating not only one of the most complex creations that a human can do but doing it with great artistry. I would love to meet him

    This is inspiring. It's the drama that most people don't see which is subsequently distilled into a watch.

    What a wonderful documentation! Such a pity that this video has so few views & comments as it's on this small channel. Would be great to see this on Revolution or other related channels as well. Nevertheless, thanks so much for this video! De Bethune is such a great an authentic brand. Really loved Wei Koh's comment regarding the evolution of watches when he compared it to paintings and the rise of photo cameras. Now I finally have a great way to explain why I spend so much money on watches 😂

    In perfect synchronism with nature which stimulates ideas such as the old world was 👌❤️👍, yet innovates with metal (handmade of course) & concepts which are a pure art form! He works with a most beautiful team of pioneers 🥰❤️.

      I get it. I didn’t learn about the world and aviation and watch making u til I was single and in my mid 30’s. Now I’m 39. And wish I didn’t give my life to construction and my ex lol. I just welded and raced motorcycles. Now I’m seeking something better and in my wheelhouse. But at my age. We have to do it all on our own. No training no teaching. My own research and experience and money. -what’s left- Now I’m “hey , young ppl, look at this. Try this. It’s wonderful. You don’t need to work at a bank. Be a pilot, be a watch maker, jewelry maker etc. you will love working with your hands way more than anything else
