So, basically they are doing what Roger Smith does everyday! Wonderful to see them keeping alive as Roger does, traditional hand making.

And that's how a hand-made and hand assembled watch is made.

Hi. I was a certified master watchmaker in the 70s, just when digital watches came out! I greatly enjoy your videos, brings back old memories ❗

Just the idea of making a screw that size....I've "screwed" up cleaning a bolt with a die on a 10mm size....that one screw is a fraction of that. Mind blowing.

I always kind of got why the expensive stuff is so expensive, aside from brand names, heritage and all of that, but sometimes it still didn't add up. Now it makes complete sense. Incredible.

There’s so much involvement and time spent on beauty and all this comes at a price at some point indeed. All the very best to you

The last 10% of refinement and finishing to absolute dimensions is probably 90% of the time involved.

Will there still be watchmakers of this caliber in say another 30 years?... I could at least only certainly hope so. And greetings from Brooklyn NY.

Incredible project and great video! Maybe for Hand Made 2 they can drop the use of Solidworks and do EVERYTHING by hand? 😁

Had asked them about this, but would have made things very lengthy and for the team the real value was in the manufacturing processes

Beautiful craftsmanship - beautiful work - but what are we looking at? A watch! I buy my watches and carry them to look at them and read the time - if there is so much of everything going on that I can't read the time - well why in the world would I want something like that and carry it around with me? It is all about time and being able to read time, every thing else is craftsmanship - design - beauty of the object - but I have never had someone ask me "How beautiful is your watch now I think I'm late"
