What a great opportunity for you to see this in person. I would love to see this as well. Thank you for sharing with us

Marc, you make it look easy to produce, get the okay to film, edit, and then make a mini movie, but it's very hard to do, as every company wants to keep their secrets. Just getting them to show you the entire process is a great treat for us. Always amazed at what we learn and your videos are simply the best. Thank you.

You and Chris Harris "top gear" have my dream job. Amazing coverage as per usual. Great ViD.

Wow! I have increased respect for Patek Philippe due to your report. I was also struck by the industrial appearance of their workshops. Thanks so much for such exemplary content.

What a privilege to be able to have an inside look into one of the finest watchmakers in the world. Thank you for sharing this incredible video.

Marc, love this kind of video. So interesting, you are doing what others are not. Keep up the good work. I also just became a patron.

When we see the tremendous amount of work, expertise, passion, skill and so on, we can finally understand why the price of these machines is so high. The process is so time-consuming and requires very specialized workers, besides the limited production, all adds to make the price even steeper. When we imagine that the final product of such collective effort is concentrated on your wrist, that's when we start to realize all the value of such beautiful jewel, a Patek Philippe watch. Thank you, Marc, for this wonderful journey.

Wow, I had my guesses and expectations why PP indeed is the king of watches, but I was just blown away! More respect to PP. Just wow!

Fucking hell. You´re the only channel in KZfaq to bring out content like this. Love it. Very interesting to see how they finish the watches. As a watchmaker i learned a bit here and there from them. Thank you Marc!

I enjoyed this visit! Horology = Legacy + Art + Craftsmanship + Science. Great stuff!

Great video Marc. Very intriguing to see the technical side and all the hand work. Thank you.

Marc, thank you so much for sharing. Love Patek. What a great video.

Cool, cool, cool! Fascinating, Marc!

those skilled workers are the root of the Swiss luxury watch industry .

Mr. Mad don't u agree that Patek is the most sheek and perfect watch company on the market today, they just produce the best quality and sensational time pieces man could ever expect. Congrats as usual for the delightfull videos you present to us.

Fantastic video. I definitely appreciate my Patek a bit more seeing all the hand finishing work going into each watch. This is the best channel on KZfaq for high quality and in depth horological information. Keep up the great work.

thanks Marc. Another very interesting video. This is the great dilemma for us ordinary watch enthusiasts. The level of skill, craftsmanship, and real devotion shown by the people involved in creating a fine mechanical watch, is one of the reasons why we are so enthused by them. It is also one of the reasons they are so expensive.

Thank you for a great inside info. It was very interesting

I was very happy to visit a watch manufactory back in Glashutte. It was an experience that I will never forget. I wonder someone as a watch lover visiting Patek Philipe... better than that just owning a Nautilus Chronograph

Great, such a nice tour ! I wouldn't expect less from Patek

What a video! That's incredible. Marc, I love this kind of video and, as others have said, no one else is doing this type of thing and getting the kind of access you are. It's brilliant.

This is the best series:-) Audemar's factory next walkthrough.

Love to see the artisans at work!

This is by fat the best video you have produced, and so far they have been 10/10!!! I dont know how you do it. Please do more of these factory visits, i woukd love to see the machines used for the movements etc! Josh Sydney.

Awesome video showcasing the intricacies of watchmaking, esp by THE brand, Patek Philippe! ⌚👍💓

Great video! Very interesting! Thank you for taking us inside the manufactures

Now we know why Pateks are worth it. Good video.

What an exceptional insightful video

Very impressive. What makes it more impressive that PP allowed you in to watch all this. This is quite amazing :-)

Thanks for sharing this with us. Superb!

Great content and very detailed. Loved the precision and technicality used to make these watches.

@4:41 love the fashion combination - a blazer/suit jacket over a down jacket (or vest). @1:21 looks like she is using a bronze rod to polish the case hinge -- against a wedge of very used wood! Fascinating - there must be a pecking order of workers - from who assemble and finish bracelets to the movement people to the people of haute horlogerie @2:10 "WOOOF" !

Great video! Thank you!

Funny that somehow I hoped all of the watchmakers of Patek ware theyere own Pateks. Not shure why i thought this could happen at all. Great video as always

Truly incredible! Great video and thanks for sharing - More please!

Thanks for sharing it Marc. It exemplifies very well the key differentiator factor between the price vs. the value of a watch ;)

Excellent!

the craftsmanship is beautiful. i wish i could spend a day there admiring the beauty and precision. it is a shame so much skill and talent is lost in mass production

This was awesome. Thanks Marc!

Simple but lovely. And good video again. Love how you love your Job and see al these exclusive watches. Greets from holland

Amazing video, thanks for showing us! :)

Despite all the advances in machining, there is still the need of the human touch. Thanks for sharing!

I was literally waiting for this kind of video, tour of Patek Philippe, and u did. I enjoyed the video and was equally amazed as you...

Awesome video, thank you .

Nice interview. This was really interesting.

Yes, great content here Marc, really enjoyed it. Did yu notice what kind of watch the Lady finishing bracelets was wearing? I did, and it wasn't Patek. :-)

It is interesting how much effort they put it in everytime on every single watch. Then it becomes obvious it will cost you good. #Hardwork#Amazing Work. I wear Sonata watch, owned by TataMotors Group who also owns #Jaguar Motor. It is low cost but amazing.

Interesting to see the bracelet-finishing-lady wearing a Rolex Datejust in a Patek Philippe facility....

Fascinating stuff, indeed..! :-)

Nice video I love Patek Philippe

~Superb! -Thanks

So cool. Incredibly interesting.

Great vid Marc.....as always!

Ad usual , good work..., i have been to these facilities and it is a great experience...!!!

More videos like this one. Your channel, along with ClickSpring, are what ignited my interest in horology =)

Thanks for sharing Mark. Superb video. Interestingly the staff at Patek love their own Rolex. 2.53 to 3.03 has a lady Datejust on an employee 😉

Great video. you have an amazing channel, thank you for the awesome content!

Awesome video! Keep it up!!

great to see. thank you!!!!!

Nice report !

Amazing insight, thank you!

Please do this with Vacheron Constantin, and let's see how they finish their normal watches like the Overseas and such with the Geneva Seal, and not just their top end custom ones that we know are completely hand finished... I want to see how a Cal 5100 or 5200 is made, a watch that most of us can afford from the holy trinity brands.

This is a perfectionist dream job

Beautiful

I like how the lady working on the nautilus bracelet is wearing a Rolex Datejust. Around 3:00 mark.

I wonder what the future will be like when these artisans retire? Considering the age of smartwatches and smartphones if the younger generation would want to take up this type of occupation? I guess only time will tell. Otherwise, a very good and interesting video.

What is that piece of wood called used for polishing?

I'm digging the new glasses. And the beard of course! :)

Amazing!!!

beautifol report as every day

Love these kind of videos! TheWATCHES.tv is THE watch channel on KZfaq! Would love to see a video on how traditional movement finishes are done. For example how to to Geneva stripes. Kindest regards Matthias!

Now you're a Special guy

Thanks!

Hey Marc! Sorry, just now watching this video🙁 3 years later😋 I was just curious if you knew why they polish in the dark? I make surgical instruments and we need all the light we can get when polishing👍😊 Thank you and hope you are well!!

I love all the craftsmanship videos. Brands should emphasize these things more instead of brand ambassador. I guess not all brands have this kind of craftsmanship 😏

your videos are awesome, you should definitely get more credits for your work, thank you again :)

Quantity is killing quality! Another cool informative video!

really enjoyed this, but it could have been 45 minutes long. i want more.

you should cover rgm factory

At 3:01 was the woman finishing the Nautilus bracelet wearing a Datejust on a jubilee bracelet? Where's her Patek? 😳

Workers of Patek wear Rolex and other kind of stuff :) 2:55 5:00

What the watch name in starting video back can be open..? nice video. !

Where can we buy their files? And tools?

I wish you could do this with Grand Seiko and Alange und Sone

2:58 the Patek employee with a datejust

Thanks so much fot the video, again superb. Today I have two questions: 1) Do you know the name of the tool that appears at 1:16? (It is a kind of wooden stick) What is it made of ? Is it used fot polishing? 2) Are The plans at 3:56 in mm ? I see the sizes numbers but I think maybe they are quite big to be mm (this question is too hard, it doesn't matter if you don't know the answer). Thanks for sharing.

That drawing shown on the board is generous......I know that no engineering company will allow that

The woman at 3:00 is wearing a rolex XD

Anyone noticed that at 2:58 the lady working at Patek wears a Rolex.

Patek has a finishing department?

It is very interesting to see a staff member(the woman who was handling a bracelet) was wearing a steel ROLEX lady datejust!!!

spotted! 3:00 she wears a Rolex Datejust

At 2.59 Date Just on a Patek employee?!

would have liked more focus on, and explanation of the finishing - looked more like a generic infomercial for PP

Mr. White?

Looking at your comments most of you expect Bentley workers to drive bentleys what about the Rolex workers who wear Patek ?

As a layman, now i know why this so expensive.

All I could think was when you've worked there 25 years do you get a gold watch.

we want "skeleton" watches from patek. always same desing.
