I am a watch maker. I've been to the P.P. factory and I guarantee the only parts which are actually made by hand are the dials which are decorated with engine turning by several craftsmen with rose engines. All the Swiss brands use engine turning only because they can state that the watches are made by hand...because the rest is produced ad infinitum by computer controlled machinery without anyone in sight.
I've always wanted to believe there's something absolutely exceptional about this brand of watch, but it's not across the board exceptional. For instance "care" was actually taken in much traditional watchmaking by many brands in the global market from LIP to Zaria. So to argue the watchmakers working for Patek care "more" than other watchmakers is a bit of a stretch even if accuracy testing is a little more vigorous. But regarding this accuracy testing--to say it could take weeks to months to test a watch doesn't mean it takes weeks or months of "actual labour" to test the watch! There's only about a dozen tests for a watchmaker to make (positional (six), temperature, completely wound up vs almost wound down (isochronism), shock absorption, magnetism etc. Furthermore, the watchmaker uses a machine to cut each part he needs to assemble a watch. He uses a pattern to do this and it makes no difference to accuracy how many pieces he might cut at a time. So if he only cuts one piece it doesn't help him much. However, as for Patek's use of sapphires in their jewelling--let's be honest--there is no question this is pretty rare and exceptional. So are solid gold cases in a sea of standard gold-plated cases as well as solid gold hands, indices, and crowns.
I don't care how much care they take on the movement there is no way I'd pay what they want for a plain Jane Nautilus. It's ridiculous. Same with Moser. Same with mass-produced, production line Rolex.
🤣 les chinois respectent énormément le savoir faire suisse et en 2024 il n’arrive pas a reproduire parfaitement des Rolex submariner alors des patek …..
The making process begins at 4:06 its basically a watch commercial until that minute
🫡
I appreciate you.
Even then it does not go into any real detail. This is basically a commercial.

Please tell me again what brand of watch this is? I think I MIGHT have missed it. 🤣
I think he forgot to say..😂
Patel Philippe doesn’t have a factory, they have a studio; their watches are hand made - pal.
not true. Patek most certainly does have a factory, and see their factory tour on youtube.
Thought I was gonna see how they were made, not told how they are made. Change the title.
This video shows nothing 🤷🏻♂️
I looking fir a watche repair. To fix my Patek philippe 18k p00505289 winder
1:19
Uh... those are Hublots.
And 2:34 is a Bovet. Did the person who made this video even try?
Dreadful voice over. Beautiful watches though.
True. Repetitive.
“Minute repeater” lol - should’ve pronounced minit as in time. (Especially as this is a video about watch making)…
This is simply a commercial. It shows very little manufacturing.
It's a watch
Mi-nute.
Min-ute.
Guess which one would be the correct pronunciation when talking about WATCHES.
KOHINOOR watch with sun logo
