Probably the best episode ever on this channel !

when you wear gloves we know these must be pricey...

As one who comes from a metal manufacturing background, getting stainless steel to be ground down to such a small size while trying to keep it from warping from heat or releasing its inner spring tension is quite difficult. Doing it in the 30’s blows my mind.

8:51 - 9:01 is one of the most beautiful shots I've ever seen on this channel. Just mesmerizing.

Vacheron Constantin is the First member which makes him the founder of the Haute Horology, on top of Audemars and Patek . Vacheron Constantin Royal Heritage is Unparalleled by the other two . Thank you Watchfinder for this Informative channel and Iam happy to subscribe .

Three incredible examples of astounding craftsmanship.
A joy to watch.


(No, that's not a pun)

I was lucky enough to inherit a huge collection of pocket watches from my grandfather, and while nothing on this scale was there, there was a vintage Vacheron Constantin as well as a Abraham Vacheron Girod. Just having those couple simple pieces of watchmaking history is special to me.

On goes the gloves, up goes the price.

[AK-jlxt]

Lol! The “boulders” analogy was brilliant!

[tomsmith]

The second pocket watch is absolutely gorgeous!!

Absolutely superb - the filmography, the history and the content. This channel is so very far above anything else on YT. The passion for everything horologic is so obvious and so beautifully relayed. The detail allowed in your macro shots and the commentary are as fine as the watches themselves.
Congratulations - your efforts are as unique as the timepieces themselves and for others to aspire to. I look forward to every one of your posts.
Oh pieces of the horological art too!

That ultra-thin pocket watch is truly stunning. VC should make a modern ultra-thin wristwatch based on that design.

[steven_vogt]

Good Lord! the macro photography of the VC split second mechanism made me feel I was watching a real world version of the opening sequence from Game of Thrones! :)
Mesmerising.

[Hamburgerdad]

Absolutely incredible how much can go into the design of pocket watches. I was really hoping to see the 57260 in this video, but these definitely didn't disappoint!

[andyguy]

As always, an exceptional video. Three jaw dropping watches, dare I ask the obvious question, what are they worth? It never ceases to amaze me the level of engineering and design skill that goes into a mechanical watch. The fact that these time pieces were made before CNC/CAD and modern manufacturing systems. VC deserves its place in the top three.

[daniel_wilkinson]

Oh. My. God.
The watches, of course, are incredible.
Can we take a moment to appreciate the script writer for their contribution and their ability to keep me enthralled?

[popularopiniondispenser]

I was waiting for a pocket watch video on this channel, I'd like to learn more about them and it'd be nice if they become more relevant again.
My Dad has a Audemars Freres pocket watch that was passed down to him from his grandfather that I think is just beautiful - it's a minute repeater and the case is nearly perfect. It seems a shame that no one gives a damn about pocket watches any more and that wristwatches get all the attention.

[crzyruskie]

The chimes and everything else on those watches are just amazing. The chime tones are so soothing for some reason.
