That is probably one of the most beautiful watches I’ve ever seen. That was a great video too.

Super Dude, I would love every imperfection like I love every imperfection a beautiful woman has

Ed Eggermont wonderful, I love your optimism

Pateks don't have flaws

Its a $100,000 watch!

Daniel O. who cares about the price you stupid materialist, this is truely art

Some look creepy.

I dont hate them, most of them are not my coup of tea

I think the one in the video is both. Up close, or under magnification, it's undeniably a work of art. More than a couple feet away, though... it's too monochromatic for starters, and as a whole, repulsively gaudy, to my eyes. But I absolutely love it; I'm more into the close-up details than I am _not_ loving the golden excess of the full picture.

I love skeleton watches. The mechanism is a thing of exquisite beauty and fascination to me. I prefer them not over-decorated as it detracts from the mechanism, but I've never seen one I find "creepy"

Personally, I love the idea of them! Nowadays, if not for prestige, you buy a watch for it's intricate design. So why not show this marble of engineering off?

I took a tour of a nuclear plant and felt the same way , I realized there a lot smarter people than me !

@@juniorjohnson5961prior to that had you believed you were the smartest person alive? Haha

​@@jokeexplainer6006At times 🤠

Kyle Buchholtz i commented the same on other videos. I used a sieko for 12 years. Now I'm using f91w for past 7 months

Kyle you're right. This needs to happen

Whats wrong with casio ?

The wrong is with the awful looking potato of a watch, not the brand

Yea, they need to do this on April 1st.

TheGlasspix Lol... that's what rewind is for:)

That little spinning weight rotates freely, powering a gear which winds the mainspring, like those toys where you twist the little thing behind and make it run by itself. Since the weight doesn't give enough torque to wind it unlike your hand, it has to use gear reduction, which makes it spin slower but gives more torque, like the first gear in a car. That's what I understood about it.

Yep I lost it around 4:00 min. 🤗

I generally don't care much for Patek but yeah, this one's a real beauty. Of course, the price reflects that at about 100k.

NewFormofSilence I don’t really care much either for patek’s but the detailing on this watch blows my mind

I feel like that is too beautiful, something that you can’t wear without it looking out of place

I agree that the caliber is beautiful but the watch as a whole in this skeletinized form is BS, looks like some cheap Chinese knock off. Oh yes, and its all in gold.. Disgusting...

vegass04 my dude... you are disgusting

this video ended up costing me 600 dollars because i needed a mechanical watch so badly after

I am there with you for being a watch nut.

yeah, had computers not come around we would have had mechanical computers. Like for real, a guy had invented a pocked mechanical calculator right before the electronic calculator mad it a neat but useless item.

Another furry watch collector nice.

irkibby id like to see some proof of that you fucking furry

+Alpay proof of what?

irkibby your watches you fucking donkey

+Alpay nah

The oris artelier translucent skeleton looks similar for wayyyy cheaper

@@Bobbylim323 It really is, thank you. But there is something about this PP that is just... mesmerising

The seiko SNK movements also have the "magic lever" system to wind the watch both ways. Personally, I'm on the mechanical side of the debate, as my watch is my grandpa's old one (his old Swiss watch, which has lasted him 67 years and promptly broke the minute it left his wrist, I'll be getting it from the watchmaker tomorrow)

Thanks very much!

And you are commenting here with your digital device 😂😂😂 f o

This video is in my opinion the clearest I have found to explain how a mechanical watch works : kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fM6Pa6V3qcmpm5s.html

Thank you, great video !!

I think it's more for looking at rather than telling the time.

Basically, they transfer power from turning to the crowen to regulate the hands to move. Basically it's a set of gear they transfer power to the minute hand and hour hand.

Don't feel bad.. 90% of people watching this don't get it. Even those that claim that they understand it basically lie.

We make race cars and synthetic marijuana.

Exactly, got really confused with what I’m supposed to focus on.

got it its amazing

Also patented sadly

xrtsmt lol no

Glad you could see it as well.

Yeah man.

@@perthwatchgirl duh no one thought it was a real one.Unless they took it from someone with a microscopic brain.

Its probably more than my whole life. Its such a beauty tbh. I dont deserve such perfection.

I'd hope so at $100k

🇦🇱

Cubulation A technical improvement, but several steps back artistically.

35$ for an automatic? That’s a absolute bargain!

You can buy automatic watches for 20$ from AliExpress

then do something and stop being poor lol... im 18 and have my first rolex, looking to get a second one.

@@MS-wf6hq Sweet. What model?

Everyone is forgetting that $35 20 years ago was worth more than $35 dollars today

If it isn't, he sure sounds like him! I love this comment about the narrator on another Watchfinder Video - "The narrator could make a bag of turd sound luxurious!".............I agree!

nigga what?

Patek Philippe is way older than Rolls Royce so it might be the other way around

Louis Sutriharta only one. The rolex cellini prince.

because they don't want everyone to know that the watches work via the movements of very tiny squirrels.

LLGS ELEMENT it's.. square.. thanks alot for the info!

Michael Williams hahahahhaa rolex is kinda overated nowadays huh?

Louis Sutriharta i dunno, have you ever tried to breed tiny squirrels? it's incredibly challenging.

These watches aren't about telling time. If somebody who can afford one is late to work, all of his employees will wait for him.

Yep, just pure douchebaggery.

Looks cheap

Probably because its all hand carved. I kinda get that too, weird piece for Patek

I think this is one of their worst designs, Patek is supposed to be the creme de la creme when it comes to watches and this piece doesnt show that

About Brand Haha looks like a 10 dollar watch

Blue Eyes White Dragon Yeah looks like a Wish watch

Mo 2k if I made that watch I would not sell it for $20 too much work 😂

More materials, but arguably not more work. The design stage of a car may be greater but the production of the watch being hand made will be longer than the car.

I think the argument of it being hand made to justify such high price is overrated, cant a machine do exactly the same as the hand? Does the quality go down? no

Machines can't make these, it's too complex and complicated. Maybe in the future?

The price of most anything is "whatever the seller can get away with". If you look at the secondary market, Patek Philippe is actually very reasonable. Many of their references quickly sell used for much more than buying one from an authorized dealer. The 5180/1R is as much a piece of art as it is a watch ... actually maybe more art. What's not mentioned in the video is that this is a true skeleton watch (not an open-worked timepiece). So, ... Patek's 240 movement is made to working order and then disassembled before sending to the artists for both skeletonization (cutting away all not totally necessary metal) and the intricate engraving. There's no assembly line as in the production of a car .. but rather a small number of parts traveling back and forth between watch makers and artists for many MONTHS.

I'll have you know that this model is only £25,000.
