'I wear love on my wrist.' That's beautiful. Will stick with me for a long time, that one. Thank you for sharing that moment with Mr. Biver, Tim. Edit: full quote of Mr. Biver on love translating to art in watchmaking - 'We want a watch that you can say 'I wear love on my wrist. I wear a soul on my wrist. And this soul is protecting me. This soul is helping me in my life. That's the role of our watches.'

Awesome compilation, love this. Biver as an opener was mega. Calce dodging the question about Robert's and Stephen's roles in the new Cardan Tourbillion very telling (😢), and great to hear the new FB3 color way came from customer feedback! When I first saw the FB3 I told them the same, I'll be back when the black dial comes in the way case 😊

Very refreshing to hear Mr Meylan say it's not always about money. Maybe you could remind Mr Dufour about that! Great video Tim!

Great episode, independents are brilliant, so much more ideas and really highest watchmaking techniques! Real refreshment in a silly world of Daytonas and GMTs…

Great video for when you want to wear a couple houses on your wrist. Completely unattainable for 99.5 % of people 😂

Summary of this video was we came up with 10 watches that already sold to a sheikh

I am perpetually simultaneously impressed by and disappointed in Frederique Constant. 150-200 hours of hand labor is about halfway to a Voutilainen or Dufour, yet the total is exactly the sum of its parts. A Patek minute repeater costing nearly half a million takes ~400 hours to make for comparison. For that time investment $45k is actually one the best "deals" in the entire industry given the mfg cost, but the aesthetics don't stand out much from the crowd. A watch that takes half as long to construct as a Vingt-8 and costing half as much should be at least halfway there and I don't think they're there yet (but it's obvious they care and are trying). They obviously have infrastructure most independent watchmakers can only dream of but are always spinning their wheels it seems. Hopefully they can hire or recruit new stylists, movement constructors, and finishing experts to figure out which corners should or shouldn't be cut, as well as build a unique aesthetic for themselves.

Not sure how half these watch companies survive. Who’s buying these pieces? I’m a “watch enthusiast” and can’t imagine spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on a watch I’ve never heard of. I’m finding that a lot of expensive watches are all starting to look the same. Like tacky Jacob and co watches. Hideous looking watches that have tourbillions
