Watchmaking Magic! Rolex Yacht-Master II
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 4 ต.ค. 2024
- Have you taken a look inside the Rolex Yacht-Master II? At 44mm, it's not only one of the largest watches made by Rolex. It's also one of the most complicated (second only to the Sky-Dweller).
The gold Yacht-Master 2 (reference 116688) shown on the video houses a 360-component Caliber 4161 movement, which powers this beast of a sports watch, equipped with a regatta timer for yacht racing. The watch also contains the same Ring Command bezel as the Sky-Dweller, but uses it instead to control the timing mechanisms.
Join us in this episode of our Watchmaking Magic series as we perform a complete overhaul on the watch, taking every single piece apart with surgical precision before putting them back together again.
Yuri Lopez from Chrono Sky (see Instagram and website links below), our preferred watchmaker, allowed us to take some breathtaking footage of the entire process.

I haven’t read every comment, but apart from the master watchmaker’s obvious skill and talent, no one has mentioned anything about the manufacture of these micro components!
Absolutely awesome micro engineering. The mathematics behind even the ratios of the multiple micro gears is mind blowing!
👍👍
One of my favorite Rolex’s. I could watch this guy all day. I find this very relaxing. I wish I had this kind of talent.
Thank you so much for that Logan. Trust me, we have a lot more of this guy coming up! 😉

So relaxing to watch a professional at work. Masterclass
Thank you man, really appreciate it!
No it is not relaxing. It is anxiety inducing. How will these parts go back together. Why was it disassembled in the first place.
Watch making is really under appreciated. Nobody can imagine the level of effort, compassion and most importantly skill that they put in to get these beautiful masterpieces to the people out there. Not mentioning at the price that even premium, it doesn’t justify the their compassion and dedication
I agree. I work in a certified workshop above a Rolex ad and most watches go back to the customer without a thought, it’s just that bit more rewarding when you get a note or message from a colleague from the customer saying how much they appreciate your work.
compassion? its an inanimate object
With so much precision and accuracy in this watch how does the technician know how tight to make the screws holding everything together? He just screws the screws until the threads causes him to stop? Could he possibly tighten the screws to much to where it would affect the mechanisms accuracy and balance? The guitarist Dan Spitz from my favorite heavy metal band, Anthrax, retired from the band and playing music all together and went off to Switzerland and trained to become a master watchmaker. So cool to see the inside of a watch and how its assembled. Hes the one who got me into watches. Ever since I was little anything mechanical has always intrigued me.

Very talented man who reassembled the hundreds of tiny parts of this watch.salute to him
Thank you Shahid.
@@Crmjewelers sir you are indeed a great master.i very appreciate your work.
Growing up I always knew Rolex was a great name , now I understand why!
Ca. Pls show complete video

Nice look inside of the 44 mm Rolex Yacht-Master. I enjoy watching the watchmaker Sky Chrono at work.
Thank you for watching!
Could watch this all day. Extreme satisfying and calming.
Thank you for watching. Really appreciate!
I wish Rolex had display case backs. The movement is so pretty to look at, I love their finish quality
Thanks for watching Mark. I don't think we'll get a clear case back from Rolex for quite some time 🤷
Close up, in real life it doesn't look as pretty and luxorious. One reason, the see through back will never come
Amazing video. Demonstrates why some watches cost so much. The workmanship is beautiful
Thank you so much for watching Bill. 👍
Not only that but those watches when taken good care of will likely last for over a thousand years.
Although its pretty incredible seeing peoples knowledge on disassembling and reassembling watches. I think im even more blown away by the fact that someone actually invented these in the first place. All those pieces just to make 3 hands move. Wow!
Mesmerizing! This is why the watchmaker argument (fine tuning) never dies.
How beautiful to create a watch! Think about it. You literally creat time!
Literally 👍
Rolex watch is great, perhaps more people like this and thanks to your talent as a watchmaker so amazing.
Thanks! Love my YACHT-MASTER II 👌
Thank you for watching Tuomas. Me too. 😉
Expertise at it's finest folks! What an amazing technology transformed into an art form! Bravo Rolex!
Thanks for watching man!
I love it when a watchmaker is working on a Rolex so flawlessly and he is rocking a Panerai. Panerai fan here, great job and great choice on your watch
that was so therapeutic I was mesmerized by your work thanks for sharing!
its so enjoyable watching the disassembly and reassembly of a movement that I knew nothing about, your video was for me the right length and with most relaxing music, 10/10 very well done.
Thank you so much man. This is the kind of content we want to continue bringing our subscribers on our quest to 1M subs!
Just wondering who would dislike such artistry
Haters are everywhere and the more you succeed, the more they hate, but it's all good. Just focus on the positive 😉
@@Crmjewelers Rolex are just good at marketing lol😂
Whoever invented the watch should win a medal 🏅
One of my favorite Rolex watches, the Yacht-Master II. Doesn't get enough love by watch enthusiasts.
Ah! What is it made of? Gold? Water tight?
Fascinating to watch (no pun intended)! Thank you
LOL, I like puns...thanks for watching!
It's so amazing how this watch maker disassemble the watch and put it back together wow. Well done
It never ceases to amaze me the sheer level of precision these pieces have, and the utter minefield of chaos it looks like to take one apart - let alone put it back together.
Larch1969 lovely to see you working on this watch can’t wait to see you do another one......
Thanks David. More on the way! 😉
Great great work ,Bravo !
You are teacher ,academician ,doctor of watches.
This is beautiful. It makes me wonder how those tiny pieces were fabricated.
I JUST GAINED A NEW RESPECT FOR A WATCH MAKER..BUT I GOT VERY TIRED SO IM GOING TO LAY DOWN NOW..THANKS
Rest well Erwin 😉
🤣
This is Therapy , it's so .... Relaxing ! 👍😁
Ha Ha, I know the feeling Abel.
I was offered one of this and I sold it to the prawn shop, that was my best part.
I come from a CNC back ground abused in my work place when I see this, it reminds me of my suffering.
TIM Cheou It's still amazing regardless how someone could design something so complex
Wonderful. If an ordinary person would open such a complex mechanism, would never pack again.
He’s not an ordinary person ?
The absolute precision and know how of the watch master are amazing. Every pieces inside the watch are much more complex than putting puzzles together. Now, I understand why Rolex es are so so valuable besides their marketing strategies .Low supply with high demand. A state of Art 🎨
It's less complicated than an average modern automatic transmission. The wonder for me is the small size and the manufacturing pedantry. Re the mechanism, it's a bit like Victorian era infrastructure ie great beauty even for a sewer or pumping station.
more like high supply and low demand. no one can afford a rolex lool.
Lets see a machine do that. Impressive to see such a craftsman at work .
This gives me anxiety how does he disassemble the watch with all those parts and then knows how to Mount everything right
lol you know it is machine made by humans, right?
@@rambodiniNot entirely.
Because he's a professional. Rolex doesn't simply employ just anyone
Facts. Not to mention how tf they make all those parts so small?!? Crazy.
Funny, the Master watch maker is wearing a Paneri! Exceptional skills and Professionalism!
Lol I noticed that just at the end 😊
Yeah, he's a big Panerai fan.
He cannot afford to buy a Rolex. 😜😁
@@edwachen2703 or he has better taste
What is the funny part? Panerai is a good watch. Also people have their own taste and choice.
This fantastic work. Thank you sir sharing this video with us 👍🏼
My pleasure. Thank you for watching!
Rolex should make an open case back that’s a nice movement

Spectacular , patience taxing and skill testing work touching the limits . I was holding my breath watching your steps with great sense of appreciation . Well done .
Jesus! I Thought the same thing!
That is nuts! Sir you have a very cool talent, the patience, the touch the mental capacity to remember where all those tiny springs bridges and screws go! Wow.
My dad was a watch repairer.
N I have seen him repair so many automatic and winding wrist watches. This was b4 advent cheap chinese electronic watches.
He was meticulous n good at wrk. N thru his hardworking made both his children doctors by profession
That's awesome Rahil. Your dad sounded like a great man. 🙇
Yes he is awesome. Albeit old now
Please give him my regards. 🙇
😎
Cheers and a tremendous week...!!!#CRM
The Yacht-Master II is my favorite Rolex watch ever. They took the rotating bezel, which was already a brilliant innovation from many years ago, and they made it interface with the internal mechanism. That's what differentiates it from the original Yacht-Master. The original Yacht-Master was just an arguably better version of the Submariner that had nothing to do with yachting. The Yacht-Master II symbolizes Rolex as a brand, because it innovates and creates new things.
Try en take it 200m deep en I love submariner for my daily wear en I don't ride boats I would like to dive with watch but keep your opinion .
@@PixelWelding WTF???
@@ThePaulv12yes. Lol. Very strange.
Awesome upload CRM! It really is an art how the components of the timepiece is to put together and how the watchmaker have to carefully pay attention to details. This type of work is truly a honest type of work. It just the watchmaker and the timepiece. 🇨🇦
Thank you Nickel. Yes, this kind of work is amazing to watch. It's more of an art than anything else.
@@Crmjewelers can you make death note light yagami's watch
I saw a 60 year old rolex being fixed and you could see the machined steel inside was still shinning.
Now, I know more my Rolex, thanks for your video!
Really enjoy this channels updated content Keep up great work. Thanks for posting
Thank you so much for watching 👍
Even my hands shaking for no reason. This man is incredible.
My biggest respect to you- honestly!!! Nothing more to say.
Thank you Max 🙇
All that work just to rotate a clock arm is a testament to the beauty. So many little pieces and you could only imagine how long it took the genius to plan this
I always thought about watchmaking or being a jeweler bc I love taking things apart and putting them back together especially small things
rolex do so well with their movements. Very technically sound and intuitive.
Didn’t know Rolex made a beautiful movement for this piece!
Imagine sitting down and saying this is the watch I’m going to make. The Rolex watchmakers are amazing.
Amazing! Extremely meticulous
Thank you George 👍
What a fantastic movement
Real master at work lm looking at our his hands didn’t shake not once thank you amazing
Thank you Stanley 🙇
And I thought tech repair guys we're awesome. Until I saw this. The patience and skill
I am enjoying your show, very interesting subjects always.thank you.
Thank you so much for watching Kevork. We have big plans for our TH-cam 1M party 😜
Unbelievably!
Damn. I wish this watch had the option for an exhibition case back.
Amazing
Thank you very much.
This was beautifully presented. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for watching Davin.
Very interesting videos. I have always followed your channel since Eric started. Keep up and Happy New Year from Italy
Thank you Roberto for your years of support. We went in a different direction after Eric left, from proving just reviews on watches to a more complete coverage of interesting and amazing topics in the jewelry/horology space. As a result, our channel has grown faster than it ever has. A lot of people like this type of content, but some don't. For the latter, we recommend to unfollow and follow Eric on his new channel, like that everyone's happy 😉
@@Crmjewelers Good advice 😊Anyway I appreciate a lot both channels.
Hope to visit you one day.
Regards
Roberto
@@robertopersico3745 Sounds like a plan Roberto. Looking forward to it!
Amazing skill and precision truly excellent artist and a joy to watch
Thanks Ken.
looks like an easy thing to forget how to put together again, hope they have instructions.
LOL, you definitely need a lot of experience to put it back together. Don't try this at home 😜
Bravo 👏 👏
Fantastic work .
Keep on this show .
Rolex, innovations and designs scores are zeros. But the price appreciation is world’s number ONE
wow fascinating
Thank you very much!
That was amazing! Thank you
Thanks for watching John 👍
I may be most impressed by this gentleman's memory!
Imagine making this tiny parts 100 years ago with such a precision. Id love to see the machines they used
it takes alot of Skills too build a Rolex just amazing wow professional Watchmaker
A master at work
Great video
Thank you so much!
Background music? Just curious, it’s peaceful. Love the work!
Nice watch, I love my hand built Swiss made Invicta
Cessss.....da applauso 👏
Nice job 👍
Cheers to ALL the FAM at CRM Jewelers. I also watch Wristwatch Revival, he shows you how to load the spring. I find these relaxing to watch. Thank you. I worked 25 years for my ESQ watch its nothing compared to what you see on here but i do appreciate it.
Hit that like and ring that bell.
Thank you Doug. Really appreciate the support. We're trying to release more videos like these. They take a lot of work, but are also very satisfying. 😉
@@Crmjewelers Blessings to the CRM Fam.
I'm always fascinated to see how all these tiny parts come together to create an accurate timepiece... trips me out ....
Ha Ha, that's the plan 😜
È come assistere ad una prima alla Scala di Milano, o un tour nei musei degli Uffizi
There is something about watches that can almost summarize humanity. The outside appearance, inside appearance, art for sale, or art for love. The thought itself cannot be described in full, but only generalized
Thank you !!!
Thank you for watching!
Phenomenal skill in disassembling and re-assembly. Such deft hand, concentration, attention to even tiny details! By the way, what was done in that machine for 45 minutes? Cleaning? Washing? Drying?
Probably, one more video is required about how these tiny precision components are manufactured? At least about some important components.
I believe that machine is an ultrasonic bath for cleaning the parts. It immerses them in water and applies high frequency sound waves to force dust and old grease to be released into the water, leaving the parts clean.
Absolutely AMAZING! Really makes you re-think when some people say "No matter the price of the watch on your wrist, it will always tell you the same time"...I proudly own this same watch and after watching this video I appreciate it even MORE! 💯
I loved!!
I am glad you loved.
This thing must be having more gears than a big factory, and what a precision it must be having
Waoooo....amazing..... I love the song, where can I find it ?
beautiful!
Thank you so much Leo!
hello
nice video
Thank you!
This is why Rolex are the King of the watchmaking world!
Zajęcie na zimowe wieczory🙂
Trillions like and best comment for you because you are best on Earth and follower respect you,we need videos in Real 120fps 4K,8K and Sound in FullHD 3D
A step at a time my friend 😉
Watchmaking is an art! Beautiful footage and video!
It definitely is an art. Thank you so much for watching!
sure, but isn't this more like watch repair, I mean, do we praise a car mechanic for making the car?
@@toobalkain you're taking the word "watchmaking" literally. Watchmaking is not just making watches, but also repairing, restoring and servicing watches.
A nice looking movement, why not show it off with an open caseback
@@Jay-xr3sb we gotta complain to AP 😉
I graduated watch making school in the late 70s. It was difficult making a good living in the field at that time. Worked for jeweler and then trade shop, but ended up with the skill working on nuclear weapons, they needed watchmakers. Strange isn't it.
Já desmontei e consertei relógio despertador de pulso, não me lembro a marca era um modelo russo década 70, mas confesso que nunca tentaria desmontar este do vídeo...nem enxergo ,aos pra tal. Parabéns em grande escala.
