- In this video report, we focus on some members of the AHCI, the Academy of Independent Watchmakers, with the creations of Hajime Asaoka from Japan, Konstantin Chaykin from Russia and David Candaux from the good old Vallée de Joux, Switzerland.
I have been following Hajime Osaka's TH-cam channel for some time now. It was nice to see him show his chrono at baselworld!
Fantastic timepiece and achievement with a super nice and smooth feeling about it when you press the push buttons. Best to you
Thanks for review of Konstantin Chaykin watches!
You're welcome!
The industry needs diversity just like these unique brands. Glad to see them get the perfect platform to showcase their pieces. Bravo TheWATCHES.tv
Very happy you appreciate what we do and big brands already have plenty of exposure.
It was fun to see artist, little companies from diferent countries. They're so creative! :) wow great watches ! Basel tov! xd
Thanks for sharing the work of these innovative independents'.
It's amazing what these one man show watchmakers can do while large manufactures "need" years to develop similar mechanisms.
I understand that production in scale is more complex but it definitely makes us wonder how much R&D is really put into new pieces vs the amount of hype pushed by brands to simply justify astronomical prices
You nailed something pretty serious there...
fantastic info! thank you for keeping us updated. The chronograph is fantastic
Quite a piece and pressing those push buttons was quite something too, really smooth and a nice feel to it! All the best
I love Mark's smiley face watch. What a beautiful piece and the way it hints at his motherland Russia... Just beautiful. I hope he considers making clocks like that as well.
That could be fun!
I liked very much Candaux's watch!!!!!!
dariobmx Amazing piece. Just stunning
Chaykin to other watch companies : Why so serious ??
That's right, let's have a bit of fun! It's all about pleasure, right?
Recommend having a look at the McGonigle brothers watches from Ireland. Very small volume production by Swiss trained watchmakers but decorated with a unique Celtic style in place of more traditional Swiss stripes, stippling and bevelling. The make a beautiful tourbillion and a gorgeous skeletonised minute repeater.
Don’t worry, we’ll have a nice surprise for you shortly 😉
TheWATCHES.tv fantastic. Thanks
Ajime’s chronograph was very impressive indeed.
The Joker piece was really interesting

The Joker is such an inspiring timepiece... Are you planning on talking someday about independent watchmaker Pita Barcelona? It is quite difficult to find info and videos about their work... Anyhow keep up the great work, always a pleasure to watch your videos!!
wow.
that s a spectacular timepiece!
I need translators for the translators
Wow ! I would love to see a time-lapse video of the watchmaker-artist at work
It took me a while to get used to your glasses but i love them now! :D
Cool ;)
That Joker watch was amazing!
True!
lovely pieces true artisans :)
I love this channel ❤️
Thanks so much!!!!
Very cool watches indeed!
Despite the French guy, any other "latin" producer? What about Italy, Spain, Portugal? Are they present with nice pieces? Thanks, ciao.
I can't imagine, or comprehend how these independent watch makers get started! It's not like the random companies that design a fashion watch with a cheap quartz movement.
At first you might have small costs if you do more or less everything yourself, then it becomes a bit more complicated ;)
9k for the joker piece seems very reasonable. If it were to be white gold for say 13k since its no bracelet that would probably be a stronger seller as the collector who would consider it is clearly not budget minded or only his 3rd or 5th piece but more like 20th
You're totally right!
love the joker reminds me of the old batman tv show.and you can tell it's russian by the colours and style.the other 2 are just as good.
Love the idea behind it; simple but fun!
Cool
I love the first one 👌
That russian watch is so russian
playful beauty, like feberge eggs
Great report as always. One question about the Hajime Asaoka watch, is that fly wheel bigger than usual or is that watch small? Because it was taking quite a lot of room back there.
You're totally right, the balance wheel is indeed pretty large on this timepiece. Best to you
Love your channel man. But i really like your eyeglasses. Would you please tell me from where i can buy it ?
Only on our website, it's almost custom made, seriously!!
Not certain, but im quite sure the 2nd guy with the smiling watch got his watch from AliExpress, you can find it there for about 400€
The Joker, a great idea, beautifully executed. Why do I find it ironic that a watch meant for the middle market was introduced at a trade fair, where the entire run of 99 was snapped up by industry insiders, for many of whom 6,990€ is pocket change?
Interesting comment ;)
The eyes on that Joker Watch remind me of Rick Sanchez. Can we expect a Rick and Morty version?
Chaikin is the best. Absolutely unique design fresh-smile-face-lol. I think this is cool and important for Russian watches development manufacture to participate in Baselworld. По-моему единственный Чайкин с его крутяцкими часами с рожицей кто в Базеле из русских. А про турбийоны неправ он, очень круто на них даже просто смотреть
Блин смешно: переводчиwа не может слово "достают" перевести, еще она некорректно перевела, он сказал сложности, а она сказала изменения (changes)
That can happen with translations ;) But confirm that I really like what he does and brings to the industry. Best to you
турбийон ненужная вещь в часах)))только цена бешенная
All the 3 makers have really great watches. One day I will create my own piece 🤣🤣
Seiko please🙏 contact Mr Asaoka asp! amazing result in only five months.
Mark@ I think it's time for a trip to mother Russia! Chaykin is a genius watchmaker.
Couldn't agree more!!!!!!!!
Sugoii
Хорошо
Bon
Nice
Nice video ⌚️⌚️⌚️
Very Very nice video. Happy to see so many great watch makers.
#FirstComment 😀😀
Thanks and good job on being #1 ;)
6:00 interesting watch. Greatness.
MISS WONG WAS THERE!?
Why was she not interviewed?
too many bad youtube reception from basel interviews?
The Russian watchmaker Chaykin says 8000 euro in Russian, the interpreter translates it 7000 euro. Apparently, the Swiss watchmakers have sent her to him :)
No he said "Only 7 grand" in a joking voice, the translated got the number right but the tone was off.
Brand of your eye glasses please
Coming soon, this is prototype #1 !!!
1:22 Holy .... I will buy this if he opens a company.
I'm amazed to see that there are people from countries other than France that still can't speak English.
You would be very surprised by this, definitely not only a French thing!!!
yea japanese people really have a hard time with any other languages other than english
I am not amazed that an anglophone-only person makes such a stupid comment.
Roman Jeremy
First: Why do you think that I am anglophone-only person? I'm a nativ German speaker and had French and Latin in school too.
Second: How is that a stupid comment? We live in an English speaking world - deal with it.
du erstaunst mich
7000 euros for the joker watch? hmm it is not that bad actually for a truly unique watch that will definitely become a conversation piece.
The watch that has only three peices is gonna very very expensive
Chaykin sells watches for 7k a pop and he can't hire a half decent translator? Worst instance is during the end when Chaykin says the watch goes for ONLY seven thousand Euros and she uses ALMOST instead of only. Kills his little joke and inverts the meaning.
Marc, you are so handsome, and your glasses are so distracting. I would love to see you in rimless invisible lenses with subtle wire frames.
Haha, will try ;)
I like his glasses actually
7000 euro And 99 piece only , that shit worth for collection
another high quality episode of "shit you can't afford". lol that joker watch looks really nice tho.
Haha, like the comment ;)
I Love French.
4:44 might as well make 101 pieces, lol
0:54 Looks like corum bubble skeleton.
барышня переводчик у чайкина конечно ужасает. «хау мач сач мач», хоссподи прости.
man the last watch is fuckin hideous
joker watch :)))
Mate, sort your bins out geezer!!!
2018 working on hi-end watches yet STILL not speaking a word of english and needs a translator. African immigrants coming to Europe on boats speak FLUENTLY english AND french. Just sayin'...this is 21st Century. Someone notify the japanese
joker watch is hideous
Mickey Romeo but absolutely awesome.
why?
