Good old Czechs. Whenever they come to Croatia they do most craziest things. They see a huge hill and decide they will climb it with barren feet, speedos and a towel around their neck. They are sleeping on their luftie and see the island in the distance, they just go to that isle like if they have a boat. This guy is making watches the same way. He thinks craziest stuff and just runs forwards.

Love it. I'll dust down my piggy-bank and get saving, I think! Great video, as ever! Thanks for introducing me to Mr Berkus' fine work.

As a trained WOSTEP watchmaker I can assure anyone watching that this is hard. Really really hard. Just skeletonizing a generic movement proportionately so that it looks good and then finishing it nicely is no easy task at all. I remember my first time beveling, pressure polishinging and then satinizing a going train plate (bridge) by hand. One little tiny slip and I would have had to start all over on a new plate. 7-8 hours of work gone in the blink of an eye. So if you´ve ever wondered why a really beautiful skeletonized movement costs so much now you know. This guy is really cool and thanks to Wf for letting us all see this.

He has a very different ethic than, say, Roger Smith or the Grandmeister George Daniels, but I do find his stuff to be pretty appealing... I just think that some of the watches shown could use a little more cleanup (not necessarily polishing, just in terms of removing the particulate matter that I see). If the wait wasn't so long, I might sign up. But I might be dead by the time my number comes up (so to speak).

A watch that relays on a bunch of balance springs while on a pendulum would be a really cool redundant super syncing harmonic watch much like the effect of putting a whole bunch of out of time metronomes all set at the same bpm on a swinging board with all the metronome out of sync over a few moments they all sync up perfectly thanks to destructive constructive interference in the system. If you stop and think about how one get some Tylenol for your headache cause it shouldn’t yet you find out it actually can’t stay out of sync even with all them set to the same timing and is all most like entropy in the system runs backwards where chaos creates order. It’s a really cool experiment as well as what it shows and why it does the opposite of what we assume and shatters our intuition of physics yet can easily be explained thru constructive destructive interference leading to a synced up harmonic balance that seems to still defy entropy all ways rises but people don’t all ways accounts about the possibility of a bifurcation event in a fractal say like Mandelbrot bifurcations that can be predicted and brings things that seem chaotic and random to actually they are not and reveals a pattern to stuff all around us from animal populations to drips falling from a faucet that will drip one at random then every so often suddenly drill two really quickly out of no where or even 3 and those are the bifurcation events that can be predicted after so many random events cause the chaos kinda divides and resets in separated realities even like a branching multiverse of possible outcomes creating a near infinite multiverse.
