New episode in our series dedicated to the history of the big names of watchmaking and today we'll go over one of its most illustrious representative: Patek Philippe.
It’s a multimillion dollar company that’s run as an independent family business; a worldwide name that only makes 50,000 watches every year and a brand that is stepped in history but that still pushes the envelope in terms of technological advances. TheWATCHES.tv charts the amazing and at times complex history of Patek Philippe, from the Rio-based retailer that kickstarted its wristwatch business through the post-war slump and Stern acquisition to its auction-house success, its grand exhibitions and the new adventures in silicon that point to its future.
With such an impressive and rich history we could have easily produced a 2-hour long documentary, but went for a rather condensed version. Enjoy!

These historical programs are really superb. Nobody else can do it like you Marc, the production value is broadcast TV level or higher! At one point you say “I hope it’s not too dense...” NO WAY! It’s exactly what watch lovers adore: history! But you are also doing real commentary about the corporate side of things, which is so interesting and really makes us feel like we are encountering another level of devotion. Thank you

Patek is one the best watch makers ever, is exclusive, expensive, innovator, and always revolutionary but with own soul and respect its history. Greatness.
