Great episode and looking forward to seeing what's in the future! Especially a GMT complication.

I've always loved Weiss watches and your videos, but never found the exact watch in your current line up that would make me pull the trigger. The GMT and the chronograph you mentioned are both right up my alley and I look forward to hearing more about those. They might be just what I need to make the jump and own a Weiss watch.

Absolutely brilliant video! So insightful, open and honest. Cannot wait to have enough money to finally own one of your timepieces.

Your calmness and slow speaking are priceless traits nowadays . Definitely needed to a watchmaker likewise a deep sea diver .. great work, all the best :)

Would you ever consider selling your watch movements to other watch brands? Specifically a company that manufactures their own cases and dials in the US.
