My beloved Siberian Husky

Passed away 2 years ago now... she was 15 years old and the most intelligent dog I have ever met.

I know all owners think that way about thier dogs, but this was like talking to a human being.

R.I.P

Bezel rotates, don't worry. Ask for a pic where the date isn't about to turn so you can check how the font aligns to the window.

Yes the bezel rotates so the 60 and 10 markers will line up.

But when they are lined up the 25 will be off... the same on my Navi.

So, first follow up in a long time..

As we didn

Well maybe this post is a bit strange on a REP forum

Horology today, or rather haute horologie, is no longer found in the line-ups offered by the big brands, but springs from small independent companies like Greubel-Forsey, Voutilainen, Speake-Marin, McGonigle and their like. That's primarily (though of course not exclusively) where innovation and real, old-fashioned craftsmanship exists these days.

Obviously mechanised and computerised manufacturing processes actually ensure that the end products are of a more consistent quality than is the case if everything/most things are hand made, but what aficionados of real high-end watches presumably care about is the exclusivity of a timepiece made in its entirety by a skilled artisan. I certainly know that I wouldn't dream of handing over $20-50.000 for a watch unless I knew for sure it hadn't just "come out of a machine".

Contrast the Hublot piece with this short snippet about Greubel-Forsey...

Thanks Agrippa..

Of course the main parts is computerised manufactured to get the best out of the material.

But looking at these videos you presented us gives me back the hope on what I first thougt about when I created this post.

I understand that an Omega for $5.000 is not made the way shown on these videos, but to put out over $20.000 for a watch that´s made this way???? no don´t think so.

Thank you very much for this interesting videos.. I love the work of Christophe Claret

silly you TJ they wear asian HBB replicas

Haha.. that would be funny...

No car is assembled by robots. The shell body is welded by robot lines but final assembly is primarily done by hand or with manual assisted equipment. The main difference is that a Bentley is assembled by one or two people over the course of several days where as a mass produced vehicle (insert manufacturer of your choice) is assembled by one hundred people at a pace of a few hundred a day. Also, the tollerance requirements for parts and components and their reject rate come into play as well when determining quality vs cost.

Yes.. you

I can understand how you feel. The companies make it seem like there is some mystique involved. But most of it is automated now.

Yes exactly..

Why is the watches so expensive if they

I saw this video and thought to myself.. WTF

What I was reacting on is that it feels more like and assembly line/industry then fine watch horology.

When you pay top $$ for a watch, say about $15.000-$20.000, you would think there was some heart and soul put in to it.
