I’m a classical pianist. The smooth and incredible transition between genres of music been played in this video is just phenomenal. From upbeat jazz music that reflects the precision of the complications, cantabile string music that narrates the rococo styled curves and patterns crafted on the case, and the chorale section at the end which elevates the whole being into divinity that celebrates artisan spirit of mankind! The grandmaster chime has nothing to do with how much it auctioned, but a celebration of us, human.
This comment. As an aspergers having musician who adores anything music, I can say this comment is much better than many will care about, and perfect for this video. You, you have added your opinion correctly, and you win 2 points on the grand scale of TH-cam comment greatness. Keep up the good work.
@@TheGrandmaster1 oh yeah, sure, that's what I meant by boring. I can definitely see how watching, for HALF AN HOUR, a watch being made is incredibly rewarding.
Only 7 made. They were originally sold for ~$2.5M but one was later sold at auction for $31.19M, the most expensive watch ever sold. Absolutely incredible piece of art.
@@justinmorgan2126 Absolutely amazing comment, completely disproving what I wrote without the need for any references, any proof, or even pointing out which part (if not all) of my comment was a lie. And all of this in just four lowercase letters, this is incredible.
That one that went for 31 mil was for charity, the other grandmaster chimes are reselling for about 9 million. Honestly I understand the price jump it’s a masterpiece
This has been a favorite video since it first appeared on TH-cam. As a Materials Engineer, my products are on a MUCH larger scale - but the tolerances are still at ten-thousands of an inch. I love the craftsmanship / workmanship of these watches. Well done!
I have so much respect for this kind of work and attention to detail. It is hard to understand how people can not appreciate the skill and craftsmanship that went into designing and making this watch. Just because a person can't afford is not a reason to trash that kind of mastery.
„Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth; and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thine heart, and in the sight of thine eyes: but know thou, that for all these things God will bring thee into judgment. Therefore remove sorrow from thy heart, and put away evil from thy flesh: for childhood and youth are vanity. Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them; While the sun, or the light, or the moon, or the stars, be not darkened, nor the clouds return after the rain: In the day when the keepers of the house shall tremble, and the strong men shall bow themselves, and the grinders cease because they are few, and those that look out of the windows be darkened, And the doors shall be shut in the streets, when the sound of the grinding is low, and he shall rise up at the voice of the bird, and all the daughters of musick shall be brought low; Also when they shall be afraid of that which is high, and fears shall be in the way, and the almond tree shall flourish, and the grasshopper shall be a burden, and desire shall fail: because man goeth to his long home, and the mourners go about the streets: Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern. Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it. Vanity of vanities, saith the preacher; all is vanity. And moreover, because the preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge; yea, he gave good heed, and sought out, and set in order many proverbs. The preacher sought to find out acceptable words: and that which was written was upright, even words of truth. The words of the wise are as goads, and as nails fastened by the masters of assemblies, which are given from one shepherd. And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh. Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.” (Ecclesiastes Chapter 11:9-10, 12 King James Version) „So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also. For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith. For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them. Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things. But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things. And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God? Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance? But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God; Who will render to every man according to his deeds: To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life: But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath, Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile; But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile: For there is no respect of persons with God. For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law; (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified. For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves: Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;) In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel. Behold, thou art called a Jew, and restest in the law, and makest thy boast of God, And knowest his will, and approvest the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law; And art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them which are in darkness, An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, which hast the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law. Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal? Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege? Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the law dishonourest thou God? For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as it is written. For circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keep the law: but if thou be a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision. Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision? And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfil the law, judge thee, who by the letter and circumcision dost transgress the law? For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.” (Romans Chapter 1:15-32, 2, King James Version) (Next chapter of the Apostle Paul's Gospel: In the Holy Scriptures.)
The skill and the craftsmanship is coming from the CNC machines behind, nothing else. From a mechanical apsect, it´s pretty simple to produce such an oldstyle machine. No complex surfaces, no helical gears or stuff like this.
Have viewed this video many times over the years and am always in awe! Just stunning. Love Patek’s and the gold Calatrava is my dream watch, but will probably never be able to afford it.
@@Saucepatterns lol, ur so cool, makes fun of people 'cause of the type of entertainment they watch. Very epic :) , you must have such a great life, lol.
mr19zee the reference is relating to the attention to detail and hand crafting a work of art. There are cars much more expensive obviously, but the Paganini is completely hand made and beautiful
***** Right. They also boasted about similar facts about the Veyron, but a factory Porsche 911 Turbo is still faster on the track. If we're comparing it to hypercars, it's 30 to 40 seconds slower on the Nürburgring Nordschleife. I have no doubt the Chiron's faster than the Veyron, but that's some pathetic lap times for a car that boasts about being the fastest in the world.
As someone who repairs things for a living, the mechanical clock is practically a symbol for everyone who works with machines. Designing, creating, repairing, clocks drive our schedule, our machines, our lives every waking second. We know all of this because someone designed a clock to tell us. A clock, digital, analog, or mechanical, is the heartbeat of the machines. Long live clock smiths.
@ lordkayx I wonder how many died in the mines to get the raw materials for the device you used to post your stupid comment. I also wonder how many will die when your device will become obsolete and you'll ditch it to get a new one ( plus nobody will bother recylcing it, let's be honnest).
The extractions of metals used in mechanical watch-making is far less harmful to humans and wildlife in general than the rare-earth elements that we use everyday, and throw away, and keep repeating the same short-term cycle all our lives. This Patek will still be here in a collection hundreds, maybe thousands of years from now (if taken good care of, no reason why not), and still working. Not in a landfill in some developping country, or in the fish that you'll be feeding your children. Not to mention the difference between the expoited factory workers who work on your Apple watch, compared to the many skilled, proud and respected people who make such high-class watches.
Watches in my opinion are products of perfect artistry and masterful craftsmanship. There is so much to appreciate even under the watchface. This video demonstrates the pure skill required to make a perfect timepeace. It really is factual that not just anyone can make a beautiful watch, it takes a true artist in their craft to produce such a stunning time peace. Something to think about when you are looking to purchase a nice watch.
When you wander around the Palace de Versailles gasping at the beauty of the furniture, ornaments and paintings, or when you view the intricacy of treasures uncovered from Egyptian tombs. That is what this watch will be in a thousand years. Priceless and timeless beauty.
It’s just incredible to see how they can assemble hundreds of parts together like that. This enormous watch is a statement of itself. So i guess with today ‘s state of the art machinery that helps produces the watch’s parts better the company can manufacture more and more complicated watches better than yesteryear.
Hand crafted watches retain their value for the simple reason that they are hand crafted and assembled,thats what distinguishes them from casios and Seikos,logically on a given day a spring drive is more acurate than these Swiss watches
The process of making this awesome watch is so amazing..everything little tiny complicated and intricate details has got to be very precise, even the box that holds the watch is awesome too. Love it! It's a piece of timeless art! Trying to imagine myself as a maker of this watch..I think I would cry when the watch is finally completed.

PATEK PHILIPPE, your GRAND MASTER watch and VIDEO is STUNNING! I am a watch collector. But I also have this video in my music video collection. I watch it at TIMES I want to relax and really appreciate my collection. For a short video, it has all the drama of a great movie! The music score draws you in. And I LOVE the apparent transparency, a challenge to all other watch makers. BRILLIANT!
This is really easy to comment here in comment box, but after seeing the beauty of this piece of art I am unable to write anything which is appropriate to describe this beautiful repeater.
Love the clutch pencil sharpener at the drawing stage. Serious designers kit. This watch and the process of manufacturing it, is breathtaking. Even if you are not a fan of the concept, you can't deny that the watchmaking skill is outstanding.
Don't know why there are so many hates in the comments section, this is work of art, in my opinion way well-worth that a modern art that sold for millions.
Замечательный фильм.Рождение шедевра,не только этих часов,весь коллектив работает как часы,подобно симфоническому оркестру,каждый на своём месте,каждый способен выполнить поставленную задачу наилучшим образом и вот результат.Я просто восхищён как часами так и людьми которые могут создать такое.
I visited the Patek Philippe store 9n Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills and got to try on some of the wrist watches. A two faced wristwatch with grandfather clock complications IS impressive, most impressive.
Love the actual fact that there are, if I'm correct no diamonds or any type of gemstone or precious gem on or in this watch, it is just a masterpiece by design without the attention to a certain degree, basically just an amazingly built watch PS: I am not behind the whole idea of rediculously expensive items, but you have to understand, this item can be bought for one of 4 reasons, 2 of which actually make sense No1: Investment (Investing in watches and other types of luxurious items is actualy a good way to more or less guarantee money gain) No2: Part of a collection (This is similar to the previous one, if you are considering selling of course, but even if not, it still is something to be proud of) No3: Show/display piece (In my mind if you are doing this it is a bad idea, but in many cases this due to such care and will to keep the item it can unwillingly turn into an investment, which is as i said a very good thing) No4: An actual piece that you wear (In my books, the worst and probably most useless thing you could do in this case, but since it is a one-of-a-kind item, i think, unless it is very badly damaged due to wear and tear, it could STILL be an investment but not such a great one )
Verrry late reply here, but note there are actually a _lot_ of rubies throughout the piece, they're lab made but used because they're fantastic in reducing friction while not abrading, and also nigh impossible to damage the incredibly small and thus delicate metal parts. That's what those larger purplish beads are throughout. Not precious, but a gemstone nonetheless.
I can't think of a single person who dares to wear a piece like this. Not even the pope... but what a craftmanship. Also: it goes to show that watchmaking is not the most ergonomically friendly job in the world.
It's so beautiful. I would probably never spend the money on it even if I was worth billions (in the same sense that I wouldn't buy the mona lisa or other unbelievably expensive items) but it's hard not to appreciate this for what it is, a magnificent work of art and machinery.
Is tricky I know, I bought 3 of them and next-day delivery was free. Me, my wife, and my 5 year-old kid are all wearing this incredible piece of art ;)
@@shlomoliedtke5151 Actually probably time accuracy since everything is hand finished anyways. The machines just get it down to a rough shape, while the rest is finished by hand, or by mechanical machines.
If you go back in history to all the people who contributed to the futhuring of gear technology, many more then three died for this watch. We can all be jealous that their legacy's have lived on in such a glorious fashion.
OMG stop whining everyone - it's called craftsmanship; making something by hand which hardly anyone does anymore. Let's just import junk and not talk about the ability to actually make something like this. It's art. It's skill. It's a trade that should be appreciated vs. slammed. Who cares who buys it, or if they buy it? As long as there a people who can make things this beautiful, its a non-issue.
I'm an engineer so can appreciate the effort, the ingenuity and the work that went into this. also its an absolutely beautiful and aesthetically pleasing thing. On the other hand: I never wore watches - I hate carrying anything unnecessary with me... sooo: I guess I'm impressed something like this exists?! but nothing else?!
That's pretty common. I wear no sort of ornamentation at all either, but I can appreciate very much the incredible craftsmanship that goes into something like this.
I find a watch is rather handy, maybe this isn't your everyday watch but something like my humble Citizen watch never goes flat like a smartphone, and generally it a lot easier to check the time!
@@fr61d yeah, but these days watches are everywhere and also one can ask people for the time, which can lead to a quite nice little talk. plus: I'm sort of training myself not to look at watch all the time... mankind is stress enough as it is - a little timeless part of the day is pretty lovely, I can tell you :)
***** How does this make anyone, wealthy or poor, dumb? That watch is a masterpiece and a stunning work of art. When you look at the amount of time and effort it took to create the watch, I'm amazed the price isn't higher than that. If you buy a watch like this, at least you get something amazing. There are far worse wats to spend money. For example, some people pay 10 million dollars for a shark in a formaldehyde filled tank. Anyone could do that for about 50 grand, but they still choose to pay 200 times the amount for no good reason.
***** I'm not poor, but I'm also not nearly rich enough to buy a watch like this one. Even so, I can admire it's beauty and the craftmanship it took to create it without paying a single euro. These watches weren't created to be a commercial success. Even when they sell all six that are available, they would still "only" make roughly 15 million dollars. That is _nothing_ when you compare it to the money they make from selling their cheaper watches. These 7 watches were made to uphold the manufacturer's image and reputation as a quality watch manufacturer, not to make millions off of wealthy people. Practically all valuable artworks are placed in a locked little box in a locked little, or big, room. Are you also hating on all the paintings and sculptures people have stored in their galleries? Considering that the only function of a painting or a sculpture is to sit still and look pretty, I'd say a gorgeous watch is much more interesting.
+Skyler Rosling Rented Mule made a very good point. Just because you don't see this craft as art doesn't mean everyone else does. This took 7 years to develop and 2 years to create. Most masterpiece works of art take less than a year all round... Hardly a waste of resources either. Sounds more like you're bitter about not being wealthy. I personally don't like the look of this watch but for it's technical spec and it's craftsmanship it's absolutely one of the most beautiful things in the world. So yes, you might have a different idea of what art is to this man, but I think most artists and creators would disagree with you.
it s NOT cheap! No matter how much “quality” is put in there no watch is objectviely worth that money. It s more like you pay for having the brand and its legacy on your arm. If you are ok with that well, good for you.
@@awcy7141 yes but craftsmanship is priceless. You can pay to learn the skills, but you cant pay for the patience or motivation required to make these. Yes you have to pay for the brand, but thats just part of society nowadays. Branding always adds to the price even when its objectively not worth it.
@@momov4060 it s really not. Given the same chasflow and time as Patek has I could easily find student engineers that would get on par with theyr craftmanship quite fast. Trust me when I tell you: no watch ever os objectively worth 100 or 200k $USD. EVER! (except when the material or gems are mor expensive than that and you could reuse them if you want to)
Most of people that I linked this video was like "10mins video about how they make a watch...oh, common". And all of them watched it through, the response was same - "GOD ALMIGHTY!":D
inside that watch is a whole marvelous movement..that is the true beauty of the mechanic watches! but when u think about it,u will never open that case to see what is inside!!
Of course there always has to be that one guy that brings god into the picture. When will you learn that you have been brainwashed and that God doesn't exist.
+ 1nFamouSninJa I'm an atheist too. This is a joke. I'm not seriously talking about God having a wristwatch. When you act dry and humorless like that you kind of give all of us a bad name. By the way, as an atheist, I find it obnoxious when people try to force their religion on me, which is why I don't try to force my atheism on other people. Let everyone believe what they want.

Rick from Pawn Stars: I can give you 500$ but I'm taking a huge gamble here.
Lol
Creaton77 lol. Genius..
Still not worth it
AGGAGAGAGHHHHHH 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I can see Rick offering someone that amount. Their such scam artists. That’s why I love it when someone gets one over on them!
This has been a favorite video since it first appeared on TH-cam. As a Materials Engineer, my products are on a MUCH larger scale - but the tolerances are still at ten-thousands of an inch. I love the craftsmanship / workmanship of these watches. Well done!
это видео мотивировало меня начать коллекционировать лучшие советские и швейцарские часы от 50-х до 80-х годов
Watching this fills me with so much awe - watches are such beautiful masterpieces. Hard to put it into words.
It's neither about price, or who will buy this.
This is a piece of art, an ultimate antique that a man can create.
i think its ugly

I think you must have an horrible taste
But they are still no use
Any fool can be an artist (Damian Hurst and Tracey Emin spring to mind). This is craftsmanship at its finest.
This watch controls time itself.
I have so much respect for this kind of work and attention to detail. It is hard to understand how people can not appreciate the skill and craftsmanship that went into designing and making this watch. Just because a person can't afford is not a reason to trash that kind of mastery.
WORD.
that's true, but I guess the point is that we invest so much technical efforts to do that, rather than help other people
„Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth; and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thine heart, and in the sight of thine eyes: but know thou, that for all these things God will bring thee into judgment.
Therefore remove sorrow from thy heart, and put away evil from thy flesh: for childhood and youth are vanity.
Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them;
While the sun, or the light, or the moon, or the stars, be not darkened, nor the clouds return after the rain:
In the day when the keepers of the house shall tremble, and the strong men shall bow themselves, and the grinders cease because they are few, and those that look out of the windows be darkened,
And the doors shall be shut in the streets, when the sound of the grinding is low, and he shall rise up at the voice of the bird, and all the daughters of musick shall be brought low;
Also when they shall be afraid of that which is high, and fears shall be in the way, and the almond tree shall flourish, and the grasshopper shall be a burden, and desire shall fail: because man goeth to his long home, and the mourners go about the streets:
Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern.
Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.
Vanity of vanities, saith the preacher; all is vanity.
And moreover, because the preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge; yea, he gave good heed, and sought out, and set in order many proverbs.
The preacher sought to find out acceptable words: and that which was written was upright, even words of truth.
The words of the wise are as goads, and as nails fastened by the masters of assemblies, which are given from one shepherd.
And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh.
Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.”
(Ecclesiastes Chapter 11:9-10, 12 King James Version)
„So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also.
For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever.
Amen.
For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.
But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things.
And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?
Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?
But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;
Who will render to every man according to his deeds:
To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life:
But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,
Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;
But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile:
For there is no respect of persons with God.
For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law;
(For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.
For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:
Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;)
In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.
Behold, thou art called a Jew, and restest in the law, and makest thy boast of God,
And knowest his will, and approvest the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law;
And art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them which are in darkness,
An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, which hast the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law.
Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal?
Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege?
Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the law dishonourest thou God?
For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as it is written.
For circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keep the law: but if thou be a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision.
Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?
And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfil the law, judge thee, who by the letter and circumcision dost transgress the law?
For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:
But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.”
(Romans Chapter 1:15-32, 2, King James Version)
(Next chapter of the Apostle Paul's Gospel: In the Holy Scriptures.)
The same people who put this down are the same people who put down beautiful art because of the cost or value. Beauty is it own value.
The skill and the craftsmanship is coming from the CNC machines behind, nothing else. From a mechanical apsect, it´s pretty simple to produce such an oldstyle machine. No complex surfaces, no helical gears or stuff like this.
Have viewed this video many times over the years and am always in awe! Just stunning. Love Patek’s and the gold Calatrava is my dream watch, but will probably never be able to afford it.
It would suck to think you’ve completed assembly of this absolute masterpiece and then you find a tiny left over part sitting behind your coffee mug.
The watch is a manifestation of human excellence and perfection.
@Ivan It's far from overpriced. Besides, what does that have to do with people starving ?
@Ivan Yeah I guess children in Africa could've eaten all those watchmaker work hours
@Ivan Lmao. Based on your stupid logic, nobody has the right to be happy, because some people somewhere in the world are less happy than you.
@chrisutubeism It doesn't just tell the time, that's what makes this watch unique. So many complications.
I've often said that about the cheese sandwich. So many centuries of development to get to such a simple thing!
8:28 such precised hand... tuning from 1.30 to 1.45 like nothing o.O
Uta Hiro Just realized that move XD
+Uta Hiro it could also be a soft snap per 15m. idk.
Lol did you not know Jotaro was making that watch.
@@hideri bad reference weeb lol
@@Saucepatterns lol, ur so cool, makes fun of people 'cause of the type of entertainment they watch. Very epic :) , you must have such a great life, lol.
This patek is the Pagani Huayra of watches. Handmade, and a work of art.
you can buy 2 huayras for the price of this one
mr19zee the reference is relating to the attention to detail and hand crafting a work of art. There are cars much more expensive obviously, but the Paganini is completely hand made and beautiful
Bugatti's are useless though. Literally made just for top speed. On the track it'll get it's ass beat by a Ferrari 1/10th's the price.
*****
The Chiron's probably nothing outstanding except for it's straight line speed either.
*****
Right. They also boasted about similar facts about the Veyron, but a factory Porsche 911 Turbo is still faster on the track.
If we're comparing it to hypercars, it's 30 to 40 seconds slower on the Nürburgring Nordschleife.
I have no doubt the Chiron's faster than the Veyron, but that's some pathetic lap times for a car that boasts about being the fastest in the world.
As someone who repairs things for a living, the mechanical clock is practically a symbol for everyone who works with machines.
Designing, creating, repairing, clocks drive our schedule, our machines, our lives every waking second. We know all of this because someone designed a clock to tell us.
A clock, digital, analog, or mechanical, is the heartbeat of the machines. Long live clock smiths.
As someone who is into cinematography and machining, this is probably the best video I have seen on TH-cam!
Absolutely Stunning! Great cinematography and editing as well!

hol up I didnt know yall would be here??
@@d3generate804 lol knives guys are watch guys too
a newborn and two virgin were sacrificed in the making of this watch
wtf ?
Another 10 peasants died in the mines to get the raw materials
Daniel Ortega i don't understand
@ lordkayx I wonder how many died in the mines to get the raw materials for the device you used to post your stupid comment. I also wonder how many will die when your device will become obsolete and you'll ditch it to get a new one ( plus nobody will bother recylcing it, let's be honnest).
The extractions of metals used in mechanical watch-making is far less harmful to humans and wildlife in general than the rare-earth elements that we use everyday, and throw away, and keep repeating the same short-term cycle all our lives. This Patek will still be here in a collection hundreds, maybe thousands of years from now (if taken good care of, no reason why not), and still working. Not in a landfill in some developping country, or in the fish that you'll be feeding your children.
Not to mention the difference between the expoited factory workers who work on your Apple watch, compared to the many skilled, proud and respected people who make such high-class watches.
Watches in my opinion are products of perfect artistry and masterful craftsmanship. There is so much to appreciate even under the watchface. This video demonstrates the pure skill required to make a perfect timepeace. It really is factual that not just anyone can make a beautiful watch, it takes a true artist in their craft to produce such a stunning time peace. Something to think about when you are looking to purchase a nice watch.
When you wander around the Palace de Versailles gasping at the beauty of the furniture, ornaments and paintings, or when you view the intricacy of treasures uncovered from Egyptian tombs. That is what this watch will be in a thousand years. Priceless and timeless beauty.
If something like that is found in some ruin of a villa in the future, people will think it's some sort of magic artifact, Absolutely stunning
that watch sends chills down my spine. What an awsome watch
The sound design is expertly done to reinforce the very light touch actions shown on screen. Extremely pleasing.
I've watched this video over 15 times and still not boring :D
I've been watching it for over 2 years and it STILL isn't boring
@@amerbaghdadi I am too as minimum watched the video ten times .. it's better to have it.. Greeting from Russia
It’s just incredible to see how they can assemble hundreds of parts together like that. This enormous watch is a statement of itself. So i guess with today ‘s state of the art machinery that helps produces the watch’s parts better the company can manufacture more and more complicated watches better than yesteryear.
Hand crafted watches retain their value for the simple reason that they are hand crafted and assembled,thats what distinguishes them from casios and Seikos,logically on a given day a spring drive is more acurate than these Swiss watches
I'm still regularly search and watch this.. Beautiful.
The process of making this awesome watch is so amazing..everything little tiny complicated and intricate details has got to be very precise, even the box that holds the watch is awesome too. Love it! It's a piece of timeless art! Trying to imagine myself as a maker of this watch..I think I would cry when the watch is finally completed.

SHould not be on anyone's wrist but in museum. What a piece of art !
The words precision and perfection are buzzing inside me with amazement.
Love the intense focus of the watchmaker near the end. What incredible art
The inside is so much more beautiful than the outside.
Oh, my goodness!! I think I held my breath while watching... it's amazing!
Hahaha, I'm still alive! 😃
The music follows the complexity of that creation. Cool video.
And I can’t even put a screen protector on my phone properly :(
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 hilarious 😆 🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I can
Well thankfully you don't make watches. Only people who enjoy doing so will do a lovely job, people who're truly dedicated to the details.
PATEK PHILIPPE, your GRAND MASTER watch and VIDEO is STUNNING! I am a watch collector. But I also have this video in my music video collection. I watch it at TIMES I want to relax and really appreciate my collection. For a short video, it has all the drama of a great movie! The music score draws you in. And I LOVE the apparent transparency, a challenge to all other watch makers. BRILLIANT!
This is really easy to comment here in comment box, but after seeing the beauty of this piece of art I am unable to write anything which is appropriate to describe this beautiful repeater.
Love the clutch pencil sharpener at the drawing stage. Serious designers kit. This watch and the process of manufacturing it, is breathtaking. Even if you are not a fan of the concept, you can't deny that the watchmaking skill is outstanding.
Don't know why there are so many hates in the comments section, this is work of art, in my opinion way well-worth that a modern art that sold for millions.
Замечательный фильм.Рождение шедевра,не только этих часов,весь коллектив работает как часы,подобно симфоническому оркестру,каждый на своём месте,каждый способен выполнить поставленную задачу наилучшим образом и вот результат.Я просто восхищён как часами так и людьми которые могут создать такое.
This is Art. Thank you Patek Philippe.
The effort that goes into this watches makes them priceless 👌
Or $72 million in price, for which that is very VERY little effort
@@SteelBlueVision It was 2.6 million not 72 💀 It took 100,000 hours of work before they released the first one so they aren’t making an easy profit
this is like the toy story scene when woody gets repaired but they are making a watch
That scene was quite comparable to this.
Yeah but this is like 1000000x more complex
Only experts can work with such small pieces and can produce the case and other parts. Absolutely stunning
And the CNC machine lol
in the future, we're able to 3D print this watch@@tbrowniscool
Its crazy how the most beauty is in the inside ❄️
Its the same with people!
I visited the Patek Philippe store 9n Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills and got to try on some of the wrist watches. A two faced wristwatch with grandfather clock complications IS impressive, most impressive.
My jaw dropped when I seen the finished product ❤❤❤So beautiful and exquisite ❤
Imagine you finish assembling it and it doesn't work
you got a rare lol out of me : )
humans are crazy
I assume that happened multiple times...
Or theres one piece left
Worse yet, it works but you immediately drop and break it.
You make the insides beautiful even though the wearer can’t see it
Damn
True craftsmanship.
There are no B surfaces
As a design Engineer, I'm so mesmerised at the absolute precision and tolerancing that goes into all this!
It just sucks that all this effort goes into a thing some billionaire will show off at a party
Absolutly magnificient. The wonder of human in a unique object. This watch can turn back time itself.
I'm a firefighter, today I've been to 3 house fires and 1 rescue. I should be sleeping, yet I'm here watching this mesmerizing shit, fucking amazing
aye captain
Love the actual fact that there are, if I'm correct no diamonds or any type of gemstone or precious gem on or in this watch, it is just a masterpiece by design without the attention to a certain degree, basically just an amazingly built watch
PS: I am not behind the whole idea of rediculously expensive items, but you have to understand, this item can be bought for one of 4 reasons, 2 of which actually make sense
No1: Investment (Investing in watches and other types of luxurious items is actualy a good way to more or less guarantee money gain)
No2: Part of a collection (This is similar to the previous one, if you are considering selling of course, but even if not, it still is something to be proud of)
No3: Show/display piece (In my mind if you are doing this it is a bad idea, but in many cases this due to such care and will to keep the item it can unwillingly turn into an investment, which is as i said a very good thing)
No4: An actual piece that you wear (In my books, the worst and probably most useless thing you could do in this case, but since it is a one-of-a-kind item, i think, unless it is very badly damaged due to wear and tear, it could STILL be an investment but not such a great one )
Verrry late reply here, but note there are actually a _lot_ of rubies throughout the piece, they're lab made but used because they're fantastic in reducing friction while not abrading, and also nigh impossible to damage the incredibly small and thus delicate metal parts. That's what those larger purplish beads are throughout.
Not precious, but a gemstone nonetheless.
Beautiful. I can only dream of owning a masterpiece like this.
The world is your oyster, son…
Same here
@@dingdongdaddy589
Not when the oyster has 3 million dollar pearls. That's tough.
It's not only about luxury, but it's about art, science, and luxury...
Amazing audio work on this video! thanks for making so much effort on the audio
I can't think of a single person who dares to wear a piece like this. Not even the pope... but what a craftmanship. Also: it goes to show that watchmaking is not the most ergonomically friendly job in the world.
It's so beautiful. I would probably never spend the money on it even if I was worth billions (in the same sense that I wouldn't buy the mona lisa or other unbelievably expensive items) but it's hard not to appreciate this for what it is, a magnificent work of art and machinery.
bought 2 and they still wanted me to pay for delivery ....
+Jan Schulte *sarcasm* ....
Is tricky I know, I bought 3 of them and next-day delivery was free. Me, my wife, and my 5 year-old kid are all wearing this incredible piece of art ;)
presperation ting
MultiMartoo You'd only be down $5.2million
You don't buy 2.
I wonder how they made watches 100 years ago without all the fancy equipments....
they were 1000x simpler and less accurate than Patek Philippe. You don't need that many gears to make a functioning watch.
@@ShakeITas did you mean less accurate in terms of details or in terms of time accuracy??
@@KevinMsyah probably both but mainly details
@@shlomoliedtke5151 Actually probably time accuracy since everything is hand finished anyways. The machines just get it down to a rough shape, while the rest is finished by hand, or by mechanical machines.
Practically in the same way. This watch is old school (in the good sense of the word).
wooow c'est juste Magnifique !!! un Travail de qualité et de précision oh la la
Music choice was just perfect.
3 people died making this watch...
Star Jinx I belive that a lot more lost life to make this watch happen.
I understood that reference.
If you go back in history to all the people who contributed to the futhuring of gear technology, many more then three died for this watch. We can all be jealous that their legacy's have lived on in such a glorious fashion.
Tree*
another head removed
This soundtrack is amazing
OMG stop whining everyone - it's called craftsmanship; making something by hand which hardly anyone does anymore. Let's just import junk and not talk about the ability to actually make something like this. It's art. It's skill. It's a trade that should be appreciated vs. slammed. Who cares who buys it, or if they buy it? As long as there a people who can make things this beautiful, its a non-issue.
a mechanical marvel, this watch. Also BIG thumbs up for the video. Thank you
TH-cam was made for videos like this, absolutely stunning to watch
I'm an engineer so can appreciate the effort, the ingenuity and the work that went into this.
also its an absolutely beautiful and aesthetically pleasing thing.
On the other hand: I never wore watches - I hate carrying anything unnecessary with me... sooo: I guess I'm impressed something like this exists?! but nothing else?!
That's pretty common. I wear no sort of ornamentation at all either, but I can appreciate very much the incredible craftsmanship that goes into something like this.
I find a watch is rather handy, maybe this isn't your everyday watch but something like my humble Citizen watch never goes flat like a smartphone, and generally it a lot easier to check the time!
@@fr61d yeah, but these days watches are everywhere and also one can ask people for the time, which can lead to a quite nice little talk. plus: I'm sort of training myself not to look at watch all the time... mankind is stress enough as it is - a little timeless part of the day is pretty lovely, I can tell you :)
bet this watch ends up in a rap video
2.135.018,57 EUR or 2.522.640,70 USD
nope, give that role to the blingy AP or Rolex
Rapper's ain't wearing $2.6million watches bud
L Frosty Mr Carlos Slim, Buffet , Bezos, or Mr Gates will appreciate a watch like that
i hop not
That's what I call, ART.
I would love to see a documentary about each of the individuals involved, and how they came to the profession.
That is the most beautiful machine I have ever seen.
Definition of Western Perfection.
***** How does this make anyone, wealthy or poor, dumb? That watch is a masterpiece and a stunning work of art.
When you look at the amount of time and effort it took to create the watch, I'm amazed the price isn't higher than that.
If you buy a watch like this, at least you get something amazing. There are far worse wats to spend money. For example, some people pay 10 million dollars for a shark in a formaldehyde filled tank.
Anyone could do that for about 50 grand, but they still choose to pay 200 times the amount for no good reason.
***** I'm not poor, but I'm also not nearly rich enough to buy a watch like this one.
Even so, I can admire it's beauty and the craftmanship it took to create it without paying a single euro.
These watches weren't created to be a commercial success.
Even when they sell all six that are available, they would still "only" make roughly 15 million dollars. That is _nothing_ when you compare it to the money they make from selling their cheaper watches.
These 7 watches were made to uphold the manufacturer's image and reputation as a quality watch manufacturer, not to make millions off of wealthy people.
Practically all valuable artworks are placed in a locked little box in a locked little, or big, room. Are you also hating on all the paintings and sculptures people have stored in their galleries?
Considering that the only function of a painting or a sculpture is to sit still and look pretty, I'd say a gorgeous watch is much more interesting.
+Skyler Rosling Rented Mule made a very good point. Just because you don't see this craft as art doesn't mean everyone else does. This took 7 years to develop and 2 years to create. Most masterpiece works of art take less than a year all round... Hardly a waste of resources either. Sounds more like you're bitter about not being wealthy. I personally don't like the look of this watch but for it's technical spec and it's craftsmanship it's absolutely one of the most beautiful things in the world. So yes, you might have a different idea of what art is to this man, but I think most artists and creators would disagree with you.

We make the thing that goes into the thing
The pinnacle of human mechanical engineering
I am going with the Saturn V on that one....
i wanted to clap when this was over, I mean like this is too good for human hands.
Очень интересно смотреть на тончайшую работу мастеров -универсалов,такая работа требует не мало мастерства и терпения !
Wow bravo. All of you have a golden hand and a miracle brain. God bless your🙏👍👍
When you see the price "wtf is that price, just for a watch"
After you see how its made "wow thats actually cheap for its quality.."
it s NOT cheap! No matter how much “quality” is put in there no watch is objectviely worth that money. It s more like you pay for having the brand and its legacy on your arm. If you are ok with that well, good for you.
@@awcy7141 yes but craftsmanship is priceless. You can pay to learn the skills, but you cant pay for the patience or motivation required to make these. Yes you have to pay for the brand, but thats just part of society nowadays. Branding always adds to the price even when its objectively not worth it.
@@momov4060 it s really not. Given the same chasflow and time as Patek has I could easily find student engineers that would get on par with theyr craftmanship quite fast. Trust me when I tell you: no watch ever os objectively worth 100 or 200k $USD. EVER! (except when the material or gems are mor expensive than that and you could reuse them if you want to)
@@awcy7141 I agree its not worth it but to some (wealthy) collectors it is. This isnt an item made for the middle class
@@awcy7141 A piece of paper (money) should not objectively be worth 100 USD EVER.
listening to the first seconds I thought Harry Potter kicks in...:( no harry potter though... :((
but the video still have magic...
Voicians same tho. 9:35 tokyo drift :))
exact same thing happened to me lol
와..미쳤다! 보고만 있어도 손 떨리는 정교함 ㄷㄷ 진짜 말 그대로 예술작품이네
Absolutely genius art and craftmanship!
At this point it's not a watch but more a piece of art, it's gorgeous !
More love put into a watch than my parents into my life
I went to Paris Junior College to learn how to do this, but there was really not much demand for it. Electrician now.
No demand for watchmakers? How could there be no demand? You went to a watchmaking school?
Man1: How to make simple things difficult?
Patek Philippe: YES.
Absolutely beautiful.Elegance!
Watching this never gets old
What is the name of the song that plays at 8:35?
did you find it ?
8:36 song please?
That song is like when Jesus ascended to Heaven. Lmao
I cant find the song, but something i found similar in tone is Hans Zimmer- Aurora
Most of people that I linked this video was like "10mins video about how they make a watch...oh, common". And all of them watched it through, the response was same - "GOD ALMIGHTY!":D
These guys are like surgeons with the complexity and accuracy of building these.
inside that watch is a whole marvelous movement..that is the true beauty of the mechanic watches! but when u think about it,u will never open that case to see what is inside!!
still polishing my Oris while watching this
Same here! Polishing my Aquis Date Relief
The watch God would have.
Creation is His watch. We're part of the mechanism.
God is purely a figment of the mechanics within our minds.
exactly my thoughts!
Of course there always has to be that one guy that brings god into the picture. When will you learn that you have been brainwashed and that God doesn't exist.
+ 1nFamouSninJa I'm an atheist too. This is a joke. I'm not seriously talking about God having a wristwatch. When you act dry and humorless like that you kind of give all of us a bad name. By the way, as an atheist, I find it obnoxious when people try to force their religion on me, which is why I don't try to force my atheism on other people. Let everyone believe what they want.
Pawn Stars:
I’ll give you $10 for it
Incredible craftsmanship! Respect!
With this video started my passion for watches
