"It was one step forward and two back with almost each component, many times before succeeding." Perfect occupational title for watchmaker. No one tells you that before you start or you just don't hear while looking on watches like this... 2 dislikes? Mad you are not involved in this project or just drunk? Very very nice footage! Very well done to everyone! Looking forward to the other parts! :)

Good God. I'm almost in tears

was waiting for this video for ages , for a moment felt it's never gonna come , but finally here it is , you guys made my day ! Love you !

Impressionnant... Ça fait rêver.

I'm in love with greubel forsey since the first day I laid eyes on one of their 24s tourbillon but goddamn I can't get enough of this brand! Can't thank the team enough for those videos, Viva Watchmaking!

Fascinating content! Amazing to see and acknowledge the people beyond just Robert and Stephen themselves. Very excited for part 2!

Anything watch related I’m here, the more complicated and prestigious, the more I’m here.... so yea, I’m here.

WOW WHAT FUN... Thank you

Magnifique début de reportage, vous gagnez un abonné

It has been a long time coming but worth the wait. Really enjoyed the video. It's nice to see the craft of engineering being preserved.

Wow! I’ve been a fan of this channel for several years now, what you guys are able to document is simply not seen anywhere else. You get behind the scenes with the people who make the watches, and are basically part of the industry. Looking forward to the next part! As for this handmade watch, it shows the true passion for the watchmaking art that some watchmakers have. Very few companies I’ve seen actually do this, usually it’s an independent watchmaker, who must make compromises because he can’t get access to the required machinery. What gets me upset are “high-end” companies that do not do this, that do not seek this kind of perfection and yet advertise being “the best.” Big example of this is Rolex. Yes, they’ve innovated some, but (recently) only very small things, and nothing with the movement except for their winding rotor, which was a long time ago. Even worse is a company like Nomos. This may sound crazy, as Nomos is seen as a great value watch for the movement, but hear me out. Rolex doesn’t advertise movement finishing, only “luxury.” I may not like that, but will admit that Rolex is good at what they do. Nomos is all about the movement finishing. But, it is machined finished. For me it does not matter how good the machine finishing is, it is still machine finishing and too expensive for the price. Once upon a time, all watch parts were hand finished. The difference in quality was how much decoration there was, and how good it was executed. A good example of this is my cheap Illinois pocket watch, whose hand-applied not-Geneva striping is slightly wavy in places. What modern watchmaking like Nomos has done, is eliminate the cheap hand finished movement and replaced it with machines. I don’t know about you, but I would take a not-perfect hand finished watch over a machine finished watch any day of the week.

Well, that video was a 1 of a kind...sure did go by fast. What a project !

Breath taking

Omg !!! Beautiful

Great documentary! Looking forward to watch more chapters!

Now that is simply the peak point of watch making. It has so deep meaning to me that i can't even explain but i'm sure some people will understand what i mean.

Amazing coverage can't wait part 2!

I don't know a lot about this brand Can't wait to learn more about it.

I was had at 6,000 hrs. Marc! Phenomenal company, GF. Thank you and looking forward to the next clip.

Excellent video.

You said it would be special, you did not disappoint.

Totally agree with your sentiments Marc.

Amazing

Thank you man!

Great stuff , what an amazing micro world watch making is , fantastic , I also dig your Fortuny lamp , very cool .

Je pensais que la vidéo était en ligne aujourd’hui!! La fausse joie!! Peux plus attendre 😄

Cannot wait to see it! Tick tock

It’s a nice clean design

This brand hasn't spent much time on my radar, so I'm looking forward to learning more about it.

I am interested to know is there a difference between what they have done here and the Daniel's method as done by George Daniel and Roger Smith?

Amazing video et Could you talk with us about watchmaking schools institutes who accept international students courses in English or French any recommendations please

When will you do a video on Beat Haldimann?!

Ce qui est fascinant, c’est de voir ce soucis d’honorer et préserver un savoir-faire ancien pour au final faire une montre très moderne.

👍💯❤️❤️

One word has to be spent on the collectors who buy these very very expensive pieces: they basically keep this company up and running. GF make very pieces every year....there's no mass production here. Their money helps passing the tradition of hand-made watches down to the next generation...and I think that's the biggest value here.

Not a GF fan, but an awesome video nonetheless. Wud be very grateful if you make similar content for Lange, Vacheron & Voutilainen

I still consider George Daniels hand-made watches the best.

What is the MSRP or RRP of such a masterpiece. It better be 2-3 times that of a Richard Mille

On peut dire que marc s’est retrouvé dans les choux

Other G+F watches are not hand made?

Maybe move to black lettering when they talk, can’t see what they are saying half the time due to background

What happened to the brand, seems like the fell completely of the radar in recent times.

Why use hands when a machine can do it much more easily and just as well. Would mean the same watches costing a lot less but being just as desirable .

too much visual stimulation to read w subs. ha

Extremely beautiful timepiece, but to be honest i feel that it's a fraud. As long as they use CNC machines and other modern tools, one can not call this "Hand Made"!!! When they'll cut the plates by hand, or make the case by hand, soldering the lugs and all other components as Roger Smith and Phillipe Dufourdoes,Then They can call it Hand made! Never the less a great achievement...
