Guys, if we're talking about heritage, MVMT Watches clearly takes the cake here. No one can beat their rich history. Alpha M covered this thoroughly in his video already.
Wilsdorf was an orphan and his uncle took him in and gave him a job at 17. I've been curious about what happened to his parents, but all i can learn is that they were struck by illness. It's still very sad, and it's amazing he was able to accomplish so much after such tragedy. Enjoyed the video! Can't wait for part 3!
Great video and energy! Mercedes was pretty much forced to wear the watch, Hans had asked her many times before to wear it... however on the day of the event the press along with Hans, pressured her into wearing it. Also the very first water resistant watch was not produced by Rolex/Hans and I'm positive that Hans would have known this from his studies. The first recorded information we have on a water resistant watch is from 1851 at the Great Exhibition held in Hyde Park, London. A pocket watch was suspended in the middle of a large round bowl filled with water and tropical fish. The timepiece was produced by W. Pettit & Sons.
13:03 Omega Speedmaster "timing" was Apollo 13 - Computer was down, not enough battery to reboot, but had to do a "burn" to course correct so they could re-enter earth safely. They used the speedmaster to properly time the length of firing the engines. Saved their lives.
Biplanes are as safe as any other airplane. Maybe not as warm but just as safe. The speedmaster was used to time the 2 engine burns in Apollo 13 needed to get to the moon and to pull away from the moons gravity and go back to earth. They couldn't use their guidance computer because they had to save battery power so they lined the earth up in their window and timed the engine burn with the Omega speedmaster.
Rolex doesn't represent adventure anymore. You see so many modern Rolex sports models in pristine condition. I saw a guy with 5 year old Sub that looked brand new. It's actually kind of sad to see that watch is pampered and never sees open water, discovery, or peril. It's like owning a 4 wheel drive that never sees mud....
@@Agrippa31BC I love it! That's what I call living life and enjoying your watch. I dare say you're the exception though. Most punters don't wanna get any scratches or dirt, LOL.
Gad damn ! Are you the brain of Theo and Harris channel ? I`ve heard these stories many many times. But this time....it was different :) My second favorite movie about Rolex. The first is always - th-cam.com/video/3UHBHLzM6Cg/w-d-xo.html
2:07 I hope that you stop doing this because it is a needless way to confuse consumers. Bumper movements are still automatic, winding movements. If you doing this, confused customers, good night it’s just a needless shooting yourself in the foot
Hang on! They were in preson and they all ordered rolex watces by mail? How was that ok to Germans? I know to hace problem with dhl over amazon order in centar of europe and they blody had waches delivered on prison in ww2?! Btw... Mercedes is sexy as hell Cool videos :)
Excuse all the posts, last one, had no idea about the swimmer across the English Channel, my mom walked at that time to swim across Lake Ontario as the first woman, but grandpa refused, did not want one of several daughters to become famous and ruin the social family dynamic. She knew about the woman that did the Channel as a beacon, but i did not know, not at al, that her name was Mercedes
First, let me say, I am not a fan of your machine gun delivery. Secondly, I believe that if you are going to discuss the history, of anything, the VERY least you could do is learn how to pronounce names correctly or don't mention them. Just saying.

I hate that people don’t acknowledge MVMT’s heritage. 😂
😂
LMAO!

Enjoyed the video! Can't wait for part 3!
First class video Michael,happy new year!
You too!!!!!
Thanks for doing the vid, featured it in one of our pieces. Keep 'em coming.
I see Michael, instant like
I see Christian, instant dislike
Gabe Johnston me too!!!

this guy is great, very good content and presentation.

Another great Michael vid. Such a strong contribution to the channel. T&H would be a much weaker YT channel without him
Brilliant video! I'm a rolex fanboy, but I learnt a lot here ! Thanks !
Those old Rolex ads were amazing. So cool.

The history of Panerai in WWII is fascinating. Love to see a video on that.
This is one of the coolest vids Ive seen in a while
Thank you!!!!
That chap is great! Please make more vids ! Cheers!
Born in 1995? God, I feel old.
Happy New Year.
Hahahaha!! You too!!
Good video
We probably don't need "watch fam" in every video
Hahahaha totally agree, Michael puts so much effort into his videos, more Michael, less Christian.
They timed the precise moment to fire their boosters after the systems had failed. If it weren't for the watch they would havw been lost in space.
I hope part 3 will include the Rolex 5100 Beta-21 quartz watch
Great vid as always
Next history video should be on Omega
Thanks for the suggestion!!! Happy New Year!!!
Good pictures!
Do a weekly vid!
Dude, why are you so hilarious? Great video by the way.
W has a V sound in German, so the surname Wilsdorf sounds like “Vilsdorf”
Happy happy new year
First GMT watch was from TISSOT TISSOT NAVIGATOR!
Christian looks so different without his glasses.
Hahahaha!!!!! Happy New Year!!!!
Mercedes is my grandmother. I wish I was half the woman she was. The correct pronunciation of her surname is like 'Glights'

Jay Sikes I wear my Rolex Explorer 114270 for hiking and mountain climbing and pretty much everything.

Hahahah like my jeep!!!!
Gad damn !
Are you the brain of Theo and Harris channel ?
I`ve heard these stories many many times. But this time....it was different :)
My second favorite movie about Rolex. The first is always - th-cam.com/video/3UHBHLzM6Cg/w-d-xo.html
Where the f@%! is part 3?
Nice job
the music in the background is super annoying
Can you slow down a bit
Rolex shouldn't worry too much about the Omega Speedy. No one went to the moon anyways.
Every time you pronounce something I have to stop the video and take several deep breaths to control my blood pressure.
2:07 I hope that you stop doing this because it is a needless way to confuse consumers. Bumper movements are still automatic, winding movements. If you doing this, confused customers, good night it’s just a needless shooting yourself in the foot
Yea! It's New Year's! ... Ugh ... It's the *B Team* on Theo & Harris ... 😒
👏👏👏
My mom , correction from previous post, was asked to swim Lake Ontario
How could Rolex get credit !
It was just marketing
Hang on! They were in preson and they all ordered rolex watces by mail? How was that ok to Germans? I know to hace problem with dhl over amazon order in centar of europe and they blody had waches delivered on prison in ww2?!
Btw... Mercedes is sexy as hell
Cool videos :)
Good, study the saints... ):
You pronounced it /him use fine
If you wish to be taken seriously, may I suggest you get your facts and pronunciations right before you film?
Hahahahaha, that’s me
Daniel Katz good Christ, calm down
Damn , i wonder if you caught the flu from me
I forgive youuuuu about the -S
I meant to say , just fine
Just stop making videos please.... by the way, the first 360° Rotor was created by Eterna....
