These are just a handful of the most incredible watches ever made. What’s your favourite?

[michaelniemer]

I love it when an expert in their field (talking the physical sciences here) pushes the boundaries so much that they discover a problem that has never occurred before.

[peacewalker]

As usual, the Breguet blew my mind.
The Ulysse Nardin was so insane, what pieces of art.

[pinu]

The ulysse nardin is technically very intriguing, but aesthetically reminds me of a Christmas tree. Or a squid.

[fuzrohdah]

Watchmakers (the engineers) are criminally under appreciated.

[Alex-zryl]

The Ulysse Nardin is just an outer space watch. Completely nuts, how did they even came up with that

[coffeeisgood]

This is just why I watch this channel. Please don’t ever retire. We can’t lose you.

[dariodeagostini]

the Lange gets me every time. The Piaget and the Ulysse Nardin are insane... but, my god, the Lange is just unbelievable

[PushyPawn]

Just pronouncing these watch names correctly makes me feel like a pompous snob.

[beauchamphuberville]

The Breget....Surely 2 x a day for the orbit. Or am I on a different planet?

[noelkallu]

Piaget trumps everyone else under that ridiculously slim hood! Definitely not Insane for me.. But, that's watchmaking definitely at it's finest!

[techsana]

My mind has blown several times. How freaking awesome these watches are!

[NinongRy]

I feel like I’ve watched this episode before.

[MichaelandCathy]

When I saw the very first vid you provided about the Piaget AltiPlano, I was dumbstruck with awe, how so precise and delicate human hands can work. Seeing it again, still makes me plunk down to watch it again in amazement. But… that said, that last Gem is one “beyond time and space” time keeper. What an attribute again to man’s ingenuity and attention to design. All stunners and made of Unobtainium, ….but we can dream.

[anthonystevens]

What a collection shared today, and it's only Jan 2nd! These must be some of the most incredible works of functional mechanical art that I can remember seeing in a space of just 12 minutes. If I could add one more that I guess is impossible to get it would be the JLC Reverso Hybris, only 10 made and only £1, 000, 000 each, slightly more than I could fit in my sofa let alone find it behind it. I'm about as likely to find tennis ball size diamonds growing in my toilet cistern than getting one. Happy new year Talking Hands.

[Smileythesilent]

I was already incredibly impressed just with the first watch, then they just kept being more and more amazing in their advancements.

[RadDadisRad]

That 2mm thin watch is beautiful although not practical. Absolute dream piece.

[MattH-wgou]

I would love to see more time lapse shots of how the watches move over an hour or few. Like the one you did with the UN, I think it would have been awesome to see one of the Breguet to see those hands moving!

[BrianFedirko]

Reverso Hybris Mechanica Caliber 185, which you guys covered last year.... is about the most insane, yet elegant, work of art/engineering I've ever dreamed of.

[krokodyl]

If falling in love with the Breguet Double Tourbillon timepiece is a crime, then I am guilty. ✨
