Every Glashutte Original watch is manufactured in house, Glashutte has its own Manufactory, Museum, School with apprenticeship program, manufactures all of its own tools in house, and finally Manufactures all complete dials at its own dial facility. Glashutte has my respect.
It is fantastic to observe the craftsmanship and care of the assembly. by the technicians. Even more fascinating is to think how all the machines and equipment for the assembly and production of all the necessary parts were built!
If you come to Glashütte, and you just don't only want to visit the world famous Watch Museum, or you are invited to visit one of the watch companies, forget to try to stay there overnight. It is impossible. There's just one guesthouse (or, better said, a 'youth hostel-deluxe'), with only 7 rooms. I once took part in a weekend-watch seminar at the State Watchmaker School of Glashütte and was lucky to get a room there. When making the booking over the cellphone, the owner told me not to forget to bring my own food for breakfast, because there's no food provided at the guesthouse, nor any other food-store, or even a bakery offering breakfast on weekends. Luckilly, there is one good restaurant open on weekends for lunch and dinner. But I had to make a reservation because it's the one and only place to go and it was fully booked on Friday and Saturday evening. Basically, the whole village says: NO long-term visitors! Visitor, go away as quick as possible! When I had to leave the guesthouse to walk to the Watchmaker-School to attend the seminar in the early morning, it was kind of spooky, not a single person on the streets....😮
Truly works of art. I can’t imagine someone actually wearing one of these watches out of fear of damaging or scratching it. These are more of an investment than a piece of jewelry.
Awesome video, I guess this was originally published by Glashütte Original in their website or something of the like, thanks for sharing it though, I haven't seen it before elsewhere.
Those artisans of such magnificent achievements are very exceptionally talented and dedicated artists, the only sorrow I feel about those amazing watches is that a great majority of it will appear on the wrists of rich criminals, corrupt politicians, robber banksters, drug dealers and their likes, while there is no way that a decent average working individual can dream of having one of them.
Engineering superb!! For timepiece enthusiasts, check out 17th century Cuckoo clock sound, 21st century clock fans, can modify the Cuckoo sound to Fuck you . Fuck you, or something different. …
My favorite watch brand. I can’t even say I adore any one particular watch of theirs. Certainly love the Panoreserve and Panomaticlunar, but beyond that there’s just something so cool and slick about the styling choices and logo. Then there’s this video to show us all how next level their workmanship is.
I dont mean to be so offtopic but does someone know a tool to get back into an instagram account?? I was dumb forgot the password. I love any tips you can give me
Hello. Thank you for the video. Can you please tell me where the old Glasutte watches are on sale? Is there a website where I can see the prices of these watches?
I managed to aquire 100 assorted ETA movements, kits,& parts assortments 30 years ago, so @ 71i will have enough ETA material for the rest of my life. The Swatch Group have spoiled the reputations of so many famous brands. To use ETA in place of in house brands is cheating the buying public who are often paying vast quantities prices for their watches, thinking they are buying a watch with the manufacturers own movement . When i am asked by potential new buyers i tell them which brands are owned by Swatch & advise them to look @ other brands. The only Swatch brand that is in house is Glasshute from Germany.all good wishes, god bless Your fellow Watchmaker ,John Anderson.

Works of art. Wonderful watches. BUT to be truly handmade the only thing in the workshop powered by electricity should be the lights. All machines need to be hand powered. And yes there are such watchmakers today.
Why stop there? Work by candle power. Only use stone tools why your at it. What level of technology is acceptable to qualify for being hand made? Even the watchmakers who do make things with hand powered tools have all kinds of jigs and fixtures for making the parts. Are those too advanced to qualify as hand made? The point is that even with all of the precision in the tools and manufacturing the watches are still hand fitted and finished.
Sorry but using a CNC machine to make parts is not made by hand, Its all machined, Its only examination and cleaning off burs and Engraving etc that's done by hand.
Who cares? Machines will do it better than any person can! There's no magical watchmaker sitting atop a Swiss mountain crafting watches from Unicorn dust!!

Only computer can achieve this accuracy.... erm no... phillipe dufour, vianney halter, preziuso, etc. They all do it by hand.. this is mass production!!
Bullshit. Those men are masters, but they are not holding tolerances like the machines in this video. They are talking .005 of a millimeter. That is roughly .00019 of an inch. For scale sake an average human hair is .004 of an inch in diameter.
@@charliebowen5071 No human hand is holding a tolerance that close. Not going to happen. Do you have any clue how small .00019 of an inch is? It's not visible with the naked eye. Extreme magnification is needed. More than a watchmakers loop could ever provide.
@@brandons9138 you sir are stupid.. dufour. Matsumoto and others work by hand to tighter tolerances that that... .. it's a fact whether you like it or not...
I agree. Let me tell you - I believe that Rolex are the most cloned watches. The quality of these watches though, highly doubt these can be cloned that easily and when they are would likely be easier to spot. These watches are a joy to own. Next on my list.
I am a Certified Master Horologist. I have not been impressed with ANY German made movements that have come through my shop. To be fair I must admit that I have seen only a few, but the last one I saw was far from close to being in time and the man had just gotten it. I suggested to my customer that he return it to the supplier....so buy at your own risk. The watch is certainly warrantied for a period of time, so if you buy one, I would suggest that you immediately hack the movement to see how close the time is. Rolex standard is no more than 5 seconds per day fast and the Glashutte should do as well.
@@jhayes2 Most people that have issues with their Rolex watches are a reflection on the watchmaker that serviced it and not on the quality of the product. If ETA ever stops producing parts for their watch movements, owners will be left in a lurch because they have offset canon pinions, which is fine as long as the driving canon does not loosen and fail to drive the drive train. Still not impressed, sorry.
Thank you for your comment. Considering the purchase of a Glashutte Sea Q watch. Most concerned about servicing, parts, and the short two year warranty. Good video though.
I appreciate at face value that you have an advanced certification as a watchmaker and therefore, respect your opinion. I was struck by your reference to a “Rolex standard” and no mention that other manufacturers also use the COSC standards in Switzerland as well as luxury watch manufacturers in other countries to include Germany; albeit, under a different national organization and different name, but still adhering to ISO 3159. Your comment seemed a quite severe and I felt, unfair indictment of manufacturers other than Rolex, certainly to the casual observer that may be watching this video.
AMAZING, BUT SO SAD THAT A $9.00 DOLLAR DIGITAL CASIO "F-91W" PURCHASED FROM YOUR LOCAL WAL-MART, WILL BY FAR KEEP BETTER TIME AND WILL NEED SERVICING BUT TO CHANGE A $1.50 BATTERY AFTER PERFECT SERVICE FOR OVER 10-YEARS!
All true, but most of us have at least one vice - if not watches, maybe tailored suits, or single-malt whiskey, a superb shotgun or a perfect French pastry. Likewise, a fine watch is functional art, infused with the knowledge of centuries of watchmakers. Not a bad vice, if you ask me.
Well ur argument is stupid. Why would you want to see an original mona lisa if you can just use google pictures? Its the same in your opinion. Its not about keeping an accurate time its about having a masterpiece artwork on your hand . Casio is just a watch its not an artpiece
That is the logic of a child; the complete lack of ability to compare like-with-like, understand nuance, discern detailed craftsmanship, understand both the human psyche and that which it drives within us shows that you have but barely scratched the surface of what makes both man and timepieces "tick". Your comparison is not only horrendous, it simply doesn't work. Apply that same simplistic logic to anything else and the differences may become more apparent to you. Try food, or film, or travel...lighting, art or games...get the point?
yes, very well made video, like the storytelling and all the cool pictures. but talk about first-world-problems, I can't feel any sympathy for anyone that has that much money to throw away on a watch, this guy needs a hobby, perhaps watch some watch repair videos and try his hand at watch repair, something that requires using his obviously good god given brain, or maybe even gardening, but collecting multi-thousand-pound watches isn't a hobby its total F*'ing insanity.
I just realized that the workers desk tops are made to be eye level (or chin level), so they don't strain their backs and necks.

Beyond wonderful. God Bless all the talented craftsmen.
Such magnificent attention to excellence. I wold love to own one of these pieces one day
You have all my respect for manufacturing such a superb watches

you can have the latest tech like NASA but you will never beat something like this hand made.
Just amazing! I never knew. Fascinating!
The Panoreserve limited platinum edition from the 90s is still to this day one of the most beautiful dress watches ever made.
My favorite watch brand. I can’t even say I adore any one particular watch of theirs.

Best watch documentary I have seen to date
Agreed 👍
I love their dials! I’d like to see them do more guilloché work.

I was dumb forgot the password. I love any tips you can give me
When the mind of man is placed right where it should be. Glad to own one.
The backing music and the whispering narration only confirmed my initial suspicion, this is watch porno movie.
yes but its bl00dy good
Looks like 3D printed parts may have a great application in watchmaking
An absolute work of art.
i've wondered about this for a while,thank you
👏👏👏👏Maravilha, uma jóia feita a mão !.
could you imagine doing this for a living. awesome quality.
Stunning Company. Stunning
Very beautiful watches!

Wonderful
When Germans buy local, they buy with confidence. When I buy Chinese I get Bullcheese
makes you wonder how good watchmakers were in the olden days with no computers and only basic hand tools
Amo questo Grande Brand ❤❤❤spero di prenderne uno tra non molto 💪😍🎉
Wow, thank you for this:-)
I thought that was wonderful to watch and educational. Do think the people who disliked this work at Rolex?
Who could possibly dislike this? Absolutely amazing!

question Blancpain or Glashutte Original

I read that G.O make their own dial, too bad there was no mention or showed on the video.

Amazing
I don't get those 53 guys who disliked this video. Maybe they're aliens but the aliens would love this🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
They are Rolex fanboys
A lot of my friends and folk I know, Always extol Rolex watches as being the best in the world. I love to put them right.
As you’ve noted, best and most well known are two distinct attributes.
Mind blown!
My favorite brand.
Astonishing.
Hand engraver...Wow...
This is diamond.
VERY GOOD GERMANY WATCHEs from Brasil
Excellent 👍
I'm guessing, it costs a lot more than a TIMEX, then.
Unbelievable 👍🆒❤️💖
