Usually there’s radioactive material in watches specifically the stuff that makes the hands glow in the dark. I don’t know if there’s more radioactive materials in Rolexes because I’m not a watch expert but I know Rolexes have a lot of high end metals
@@coool20 Those are’t good. You need to expose them to a light in order for it to glow and radioactive paints will glow in a dark for a years without ever needing to be exposed to light or anything.
Je m'excuse face à lui, pour construire ma première pauvre montre ! Sincères amitiés , Bogdan Pîrşcoveanu I'm apologise face to him , to build my first poor watch . Kind regards , Bogdan Pîrşcoveanu
He is an idiot ! His father was right. If something can be learned it’s not art. It’s a craft . Painting it’s not art. You can make art with painting. To be art it should not have a purpose. People think that anything beautiful it’s art. It is so so stupid!!
So it is not made by one guy in 6 months by hand as people who like this brand preach about. 1 mil dollars for watches made by a few young guys in a watch factory. Not saying that they are not amazing.
This fantastic video misses one important fact. The swiss watch making tradition was save by an immigrant dreamer called Hayek and his cheap plastic swatch!! Without him and his plastic watch there would be no swiss watch makers at all. And possibly no mechanical watch makers at all!
Beautiful work, great documentary, you took me in a gurney like no other... i was in geneve, in France, in 1930 in 2014...Beautiful... And more importante you showed us the genius behin FP Journe watches
Too bad France as a country doesn't have famous watchmaking industry unlike the Swiss. but look at this from another perspective, Journe, Papi (APRP), and Mille are all french. a lot of French is doing very well in Swiss watchmaking industry.
Mechanical watches are always the best and can never be replaced by electrical watches like Apple. I appreciate good watches especially FP Journe's watches: its just beautiful and creative.
this documentary is excellent. Are you, S Chen the one who created it?
Lovely documentary and he seems like a bonne homme!
Lol. Thjs guy is a d-bag.
Very nice watches, if only I could afford one. I'll just have to settle for my mass produced omega and Rolex. 😂
I don’t know watches can be powered by radioactive parts😮
I just read the description, and that's alpha beta and gamma, but occasionally wearing it is fine, just not 24/7
Beautiful watch ❤ also where's that at
35:05 He does not look really happy, even for a shy person
Radium paint
An amazing contemporary legend, Journe.
Where to get this
Where to get what?
take it off TAKE IT OFF
it's fine if you wear it for short periods of time it starts being a problem when you're wearing it 24/7
Talking about making that reverso moon tourbillon......greatest piece of art ive seen
What a beautiful find. Thank you !
His watches are just top quality and so nice on the eyes.

As far as I know they no longer use radioactive paints for watch hands. I believe now they use phosphorescent dyes.
@@coool20 good to know, thank you

@@Nameisnotimportant but then you end up with cancer, not that great either
@@sqwk You can use tritium vials.
One of the greatest watchmakers of all time, and he has no time.
not a fan of the chunky engraving around the back of it.

Thank you for posting S.Chen. That was probably the best documentary I have yet to see on TH-cam. Your efforts are very much appreciated.
Incroyables
F.P. Journe's work is of historic significance. Great documentary.

This.was.beautiful.
Is that Yo-Yo Ma’s masterful cello playing?
Merci pour ce documentaire
Just as unpredictable as a woman’s mood. 🙄
Seriously, what class..

Excellent documentary
There cannot be a better documentary on F P Journe. Great work

Belle histoire...
Loved every bit of this.
If they ever do a movie about his life he needs to be played by Joe Don Baker.
Such a gentleman
ça c'était bien chouette, merci !
TH-cam: Radioactive watch
All his sacrifices to bring us his masterpieces. A living legend...
Elegant woman elegant and innovative watch
Chinese, eh?
What is the classical music piece at the begging of the documentary ?
Mendelssohn Piano Trio in D Minor, Op. 49

A true artist in horology world.
Absolument merveilleux! Demain on recommence. :-)
Bravo!
Mechanical watches are always the best and can never be replaced by electrical watches like Apple. I appreciate good watches especially FP Journe's watches: its just beautiful and creative.
Great video. His watches are so beautifully striking in a unique way.
Phenomenal. Thanks for sharing this, absolutely fantastic insight into the mind and craftmanship of F.P. Journe.
An interesting documentary that gives a good background on FP Journe and his incredible watches.
