Watchmaker Breaks Down Swiss vs Japanese Made Watches | WIRED

What happens when you drop something, do you just spend hours or days looking for it, I'm assuming the floor is completely flat with a contrasting color to the parts so it will be easier to see

I really appreciate the craftsmanship and beauty of mechanical watches...I have several. I wear them at special times. But, for every day wear and accuracy, you just can't beat a nice Casio. And I love my Casios.

Excellent presentation

Hamilton is not out of business🤨

which process is used to manufacture such small accurate parts

I have a hamilton that i recently got, I love the thing so much but im defiantly stepping up to grand daddy seiko next. Grand seiko is best movement out there.

Which one did win?

Is the Swiss Lever Escapement self starting, even after impact? Does the Hack stop the balance wheel when wound?

And why is the gear train brass?

Could you say more about watchmaking being in high demand?

Very interesting, but it’s hard to take you serious with that hat on. 😂

"loo-mee"??????? Is he a certified watchmaker that's never spoken to anyone in the watch industry? It's lume, pronounced "loom"

I wonder if quartz was extremely rare and expensive, people would be pining for a watch with quartz and Casio would be pumping out cheap $20 mechanical watches to the masses.

❤❤❤

What’s the point just using finger gloves in one hand?

Why does he have condoms on his fingers lol, do mech wathes get pregnant or what xD

Super interesting 🎉

Amazing video, I knew there was a lot that goes into these watches but I never truly knew until watching this video.

The best thing about this video is how he doesn't want his fingers to get pragnat.

Hey, your finger condom has a tear. The watch might get pregnant.

What watch school did you have to go to I know there aren't very many in the US

Whats better swiss or japanese

I only have one watch with an eta 2824 based movement and I pretty much never use it since it's basically designed to eat it's own ratchet wheel causing teeth to fall into the movement and kill itself.

Same here, love it but divided the video in 45 episodes

No plastic parts on Swiss movement? Let’s break down a Tissot PRX Automatic and its 80.111 movement shall we?

Highly recommend wristwatch revival's YT channel, such an awesome content creator. He works on all sorts of watches.

they don't have battery how does that mechanism works ?

Seiko5 movement, the magic lever winds the main spring regardless the roter direction. How many watch makers replace the main spring unless its broken? & why to spend thousends for a watch that is 300 times less accurate? Other than wearing as a jewelry.

Marvelous. Thanks very much

Was wollen Sie als Wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter Parkett Boden.........................?

I’ve taken a few watches apart and put them back together, this is a great tutorial.

This video is excellent -- thanks. It's obvious it took a lot of time in post production. Subscribing and Liking, but no Mashing

Sponsored by swiss gov or what lmao? Why are we comparing apples with pears. Not the same price range

Invented by an English man you say? We’ll call it the Swiss lever escapement. - watch industry.

Only and only an MTG b1000 but nothing else will i ever be interested in not even a Rolex . lol..😊

I don't understand why they compare ETA and Miyota Movements instead of Rolex and Grand Seiko Movements...

Well , guess watch making is not for me.

This video would be 10x’s better if their was a closer camera on the movement.

The swiss calibre is a simple Eta 2824-2 and it costs around 170.-

This is so awesome... What a tough but rewarding career it must be.

Looks more complicated than heart surgery; thanks for sharing.

This is by far one of the best show when addressing watches: the inside works is the very heart of it. (Outstanding PR ) A must see for every: Swiss watch buyer

Wow

The diffrence is geography. Nothing else. Nice try not mentioning that the movements are in two very diffrent price ranges. Try this with comparable movements.
