JAQUET DROZ CORPORATE MOVIE

- The story of Pierre Jaquet Droz and his sons is one of the most moving in the history of Horology. Born in 1721, Pierre Jaquet Droz, master of time in the Age of Enlightenment -- mechanical genius, avant-garde creator of jewellery watchmaking and composer of poetry and dreams -- is one of the most fascinating figures of the period.
After a few years' absence from the world of watchmaking, and an intermediate period marked by the presence of foreign shareholders, the brand was acquired in 2000 by the Swatch Group. It returned to its town of origin, La Chaux-de-Fonds.

I once made a pencil-holder with Popsicle sticks
maha77 lol
Brilliant.
😂
You deserve an award for that.
I read story one time about a guy that made a pencil-holder with Popsicle sticks.........wow we are a bunch wimps aren't we..
That bird automaton was insane.
(11:05) WHAAA?
I discovered these automatons yesterday [the writer] and I was really impressed by 240 year old technology, so I went searching for more.
What I found instead, was a guy boinkin' a chick inside a pocket watch (an exquisite masterpiece) and manufactured exclusively for the wealthiest of all royalty.
My first thought was, "The world hasn't changed much since then, the only change would be the global focus on gonads has become considerably more obsessive"...
HA!
11:05 that REALLY caught me off-guard
WOAH BUDDY
Yup
Brass b grindin'

Right! I was having a real moment, being so floored by the delicate fingers of the lady playing the instrument, the little boy drawing a picture. The absolute wonder of the human mind and spirit!
Then the porn clock lol
Ancient mechanical robots or automatons are simply awesome. Their creators are real geniuses. Some of them are even programmable.
Even with our current ultra-fine motors and actuators, it won't be so easy to repeat that feat by one man, not to mention aesthetics.

5:53 Even I can't draw that picture with my own hands. awesome.
He made the shadowing...
she can beat drawing robots
Yeah, its like an ancient printer.
Easily the most elaborate ad I have ever watched.
I'm not sure what I'm more blown away by; the ingenious mechanism, or the sheer beauty of the pieces,..unbelievable!
I’m literally in awe of the extremely well detailed mechanism.
I don't know how I end up on automaton videos a couple days ago but I am totally captivated fascinated and in all of the beauty and Engineering of these I wish they were all in a museum so I could see them all at once
I'm surprised this guy isn't talked about more. And this is a corporate movie from the company itself apparently! What an informative, intelligent, frank and delightful film, Thanks Jaquet Droz! A+
MIND BLOWING!!! The geniuses of our ancestors are of first order, their creations are just unimaginable.
not to mention lost civilisations from hundreds of thousands of years ago.. obviously I'm not an heir.. can spell civilisations.
The second half of the eighteenth century seems to have been an explosion of culture and thought.
@@brendareed8412 Ever wondered why that would be???????
@@jasonantigua6825 why.. could you please enlighten me?
4:28 the controlled pressure in the drawing of the dog is more miraculous and natural than the unconvincing harshness of the organ The dog drawing would have smashed my mind watching it then it does every day and right now #TheVanGoghEffect
Objects from heaven, i don't think a man from these years can create this Masterpieces
imagine if electricity was never discovered just imagine how far mechanical technology could have gone
Agree
+bevan rogan white Extremely FAR!!
have you never seen a car before? Also please realize that all technology is in a way mechanical. The processes in your computer are all physical, there is no magic.. electricity is a physical thing.
@@DesertSessions93 This. So much this...
Imagine how far mechanical technologies would've gone if electricity was never discovered. Computers made of gears, belts, and pulleys. Imagine landing on the moon using clockwork. Imagine an intelligence as smart as a human built from clockwork.
Bilbo_Gamers not possible
@@NuclearRoll How so, professor?
You are on TH-cam... wich is on the web wich is well.. technology. Go make a clock that can message me i am wrong in clock language
A Steam punk world
Not possible, even though i like to daydream of it
The hand movements of the writer and the artist are so incredibly natural, but it all blows my mind!
I can stare at engine turning all day, hypnotized.
Not only would these inventions be impressive in today’s standards….. but to accomplish this in the 1700’s is difficult to imagine. Truly amazing craftsmanship and engineering. Incredible 👏🏻
Everything we've been told about our past world is a lie..
The patience, artistic vision, ingenuity and insane mechanical engineering skills of Droz is incomprehensible. And all of this done in severe miniature. Pure genius!
1700s: robots will do monotonous work for us in the future.
2020: robots will do monotonous work for us in the future.
2200: ...
Robots will do monotonous work for us in the future.
place smd in circuits, make cars, your pc... automation on the industry, medicaments, food chain, take all the work from humans... and yet not a humanoid robot any way...
@@medicinaytalojacs658 There isn't even that much automation. A lot, but not as much as people imagine. Most machines are manual power tools.
Clorox Bleach I believe you have it backwards. There is MORE automation than people realize. If you really want to, you can buy automated vacuum cleaners and lawn mowers.
Mail is sorted, chain is manufactured, cars and microcircuits are assembled automatically these days. It wasn’t very long ago that we needed an operator to run an elevator - now, you just tell it where you want to go and it automatically closes the door, takes you up or down, and then opens the door again. One man used to have to work very hard to manage a 40 acre farm. Modern machinery automates so much of that labor now that that the average farm in the us is 15 times larger and produces 100 times as much product. Laboratories have automated systems which precisely measure, mix, and dispense chemicals over and over again, thousands of times a day. Airplanes are now routinely flown by autopilot. The list where it is already happening just goes on and on.
And more is already in the works. I expect to see the day when long haul truck driving is done entirely by machine. Amazon and FedEx already have automated warehouse-to-door deliver systems in development. Self driving cars are just a generation away. Automation is quickly becoming ubiquitous.
Little did I know about automata world. But I made a mechanical heart and ecg writing machine when I was in grade 12 for my project.
My own design, years later, it is still displayed in school biology lab
ACEȘTI CREATORI DE LUCRURI MECANICE SAU NASCUT PREA DEVREME !
Modern man thinks he is so clever and smart; well, I for one, am humbled by Mr Droz.
moder man ist clever and smart, but we are only so clever and smart cause we can build on the knowlege of ouer ancestors. thats what diferenciates us humans from other "clever" animals. No other species is capeable of passing on knowlege in the capacity humans are able to do.
Have you ever seen a car factory? Or any factory for that matter. Yes this was amazing but he had a reason for making these. That reason doesnt exist now...(The royal courts of Europe are gone) and we do have even better more complex mechanisms now....Better watches... better everything..
@@LusciousTwinkle I disagree.
@@g00st62 no,because the other creatures do waste any food or destroy their
Arguably the pinnacle of cultural endeavour thus far in human history. The application of such refined skill to what begins as mere embellishment, just because. Science meeting art. And proof that both need equal funding for a civilisation to make progress.
Such beauty as to make one cry.
My head still hurts from all the sumptuousness.
I am amazed when I see this kind of thing. I always think of the past as 24/7 days of hard labor to exist. Catching, killing, processing, eating, and doing it all over again every day.. boggles the mind.
In the modern era, supposedly that's all done for us now so we should theoretically have more leisure time. It should be *our* generation creating masterful works of art.
What we have instead is people working 2 and 3 jobs and exhausting themselves in the daily grind. No time for a home cooked meal, reading, enjoying a family gathering, learning a new instrument, painting, working on a hobby. When's the last time you made something with your hands??
Didn't necessarily intend to get political, but believers in Milton Friedman style economics is what got us to this point. Otherwise known as trickle down or voodoo economics.
It's killing us. And it's past time for change.
In a word: VOTE.
vote won't change it.. These days, being an artist is considered undesirable. They don't want us to CREATE, even though that is what we were designed to do
@@recoveringsoul755 Those are two different things. You can create art AND vote.
No excuses.
The only reason this type of art was ever possible is because the billionaires had enough money to try and one up each other funding these. Producing artwork like this is what it took to be middle class. Most of the population was lucky to eat twice a day.
In the olden days artists had wealthy patrons who paid the artists to create amazing works of Art. That way the artists didn't have to worry about supporting their families or acquiring the materials and tools they needed for their work.
So, more people can have basic needs covered. Progress puts the base of the pyramid. You cant beat that. Social justice didnt exist before, Nor as a dream or a posibility.
Art, Beauty, Inginuity, Captivating, Breath taking, Marvelous beyond words!
Learned about the 3 automatons in grade school. Found this video COMPLETELY by chance. I remembered the part about the dog mistake. 😁
11:05 First animated Pornography I know of.
My highest respect: this is unbelievable.
Imagine all of our accomplishments over the centuries ..And we are not done yet..
This has been one of the most incredible videos I've ever seen. EVER!!
Are you kidding me, these are so wonderful, marvelous! genius!
Amazing designer
The large seconds arm
The smaller hour in a circle closed in glass.
Timeless excuse the pun.
A timeless futuristic industrial design
When time becomes money 💰
The image of beauty is the precise saying for this craftsmanship highly adorned with ornament. Interesting variations of iconography!
Glad to know that there're still around.
Absolutely remarkable what he was capable of! He was really a genious
,
I once made a little book shelf by gluing a small board to a longer board and painted it.
I’m completely blown away by these masterpieces! Incredible works in details and forms.
So happy that these mechanisms remain safe and beautiful and future generations will see the legacy of old masters. Thanks for the film! ❤
his legacy transcends time, thx for sharing this video
So awe inspiring. Thanks for bringing this amazing video to us!
"... animate delightful erotic scenes ..."
That's a delightfully mild way of putting that scene.
Was not expecting erotic watches... :o

Really brilliant mind.. Unbelievable models without any motor or speakers
Where is part 2 guys? I am so amazed by what I'm seeing here... No, "amazed" really doesn't describe accurately how I feel. My mind is blown!
Should've come a long way after these automatons , but they still beat us with art and sophistication
Îmi plac foarte mult si-m doresc cît mai multe relatări de genul acesta!
Eu atît am avut de comentat
Pasarán miles de años esto es algo impresionante por siempre
Woow no había visto estos autómatas simplemente increíble difícilmente hoy podríamos reproducir algo así y menos una persona sola y sin las máquinas de hoy sobre todo un torno y fresa y el acabado es grandioso.
No hay palabras para agregar a estos super genios inmortales
The man was a genius
I'm so amazed with everyone built. Amazing and mind blowing!
Love JD video, in particular the music is always in synergy with the movie and personally I find the music very moving sending chills across my skin. Compliments
And all of those were handmade yet all geometric aspects are perfect... Perfect straight lines, symmetry and circles. How?!?!
They did it with education, mastery of maths, advanced mechanical engineering, well made and very accurate hand tools, simple drafting tools like compasses, protractors and dividers and above all- artistic mastery. The era was FAR more advanced in engineering, Natural Philosophy (later called "science") than the media portrays. Please read about Gottfried Leibniz, Denis Papan, Rudolph Clausius, Nicola Leonard Sadi Carnot and James Clerk Maxwell just for starters.
What an amazing and very impressive man that created this it is truly just outstanding and hard to believe at the same time I need to visually see this thing ..
Phew mind blowing
The perfection was so mind blowing.
Amazing 👏
Thanks I learnt from you.
Absolutely amazing. Genius in mechanization alone.
Rule #1: always make a second copy of everything so that you have a complete collection in case any product is lost, stolen, or destroyed.
Back then? Never happened.
Wonderfully AMAZING !
Beautiful and truly astonishing.
Bellísmo video del increible arte de los automatones. Jaquet Droz, produjo hace 300 años estas obras del ingenio, tecnología y arte, Ancestros de las computadoras,.hoy se han resucitado estas creaciones que en ese entonces ya eran programables. Véanlo. por favor, si quieren maravillarse.
so beautiful and fascinating.
Miracles in motion🌞
Fantastic!!
The God-given creative genius of the European people.
Insanely beautiful l would fly to another country just to see them all if l had the money. So thank you very much indeed for showing it, 1.47 song birds ,the androids unbelievable the entire collection ⌚⌚⌚⌚⌚⌚⌚seven watch star's from me ,this is historical brilliance. 👏👏👏🖒the magnificence of the creativity of so long ago .😏 l need a drink of water to cool down the best in the world 🌎🌍🌏
Genius, artistic... Fascinating.
It's absolutely gorgeous.
Amazing!
Wow. Just wow.
Just a mind blow of creativity
Unbelievable art.
Thats crazy, I love this
The young girl at the spinet? is like a Vermeer painting come to life! Most of us have seen those rather creepy fortune tellers at a carnival but these objects especially the miniatures are the stuff of dreams! Namaste
Fascinating!
With all the technical things we have today nothing can match what is being shown
Idk we can render whole worlds and things on the computer.... I think that is pretty amazing that we can do that
@@CurtisD01 but the creativity is in the mechanics , being random not knowing what it's next move will be.
Absolutely beautiful clocks
When i was in Salzburg Austria i visited a manor of a former lord. Automatons ran on water. I forget the name of the current museum, it was amazing
Pure Genius!
wow the watches look so contemporary for the 1700s, really cool
EXCELLENT.
Una de las marcas más importantes y famosas del mundo.
It's amazing :o
Excellent! The first automatic printer!
They’re so well kept. How is that? I would have thought all the brass and metals oxidized over the decades.
These are gold. Gold doesn't tarnish.
@@rexwall2000 pure gold? Or plated?
A testament to the dedication of their keepers.
quite surprising someone talking about automaton without uttering a single word about hans voralberg ^^
super talented old ones.
In the movie, 'HUGO' an automaton built by Georges Milies drew the man in the moon from one of his movies
When you came for the automatons...then realize you got sucked into a watch commercial
this is true talent.
Thats pretty amazing
That's awesome even to this day
A Genius! Ahead of its time!
SACRE BLEW!!!
Subtitles Please!!! it's impressive!!!
Too much impressive
OMG...wowwwww...300 years ago tecnology
Wonderful!
Religious zealots destroyed these masterpieces. Can't imagine.
@EnigmaDrath Yeah, you're right. There once was this religious nut named Isaac Newton. He dabbled in physics and math, but wrote 10 times more about religion than anything else. Another idiot of faith forgotten to history. Oh wait........
Religion was just the excuse. Envy, jealousy and the desire for power are always the real drive to do terrible things.
lovely
robots can be cute too
The "Oughta-ma-tahns"... 😁
How come she has nails painted red? I didn’t think that was the look in the 18th century?? These automata are wonderful, but also slightly creepy, because they imitate life, although they aren’t alive. The HC Andersen story “The Nightingale” satirises the vogue for mechanical birdsong. The story about Marie Antoinette is rather ominous, and it’s sobering to think what happened to the owners of these luxurious objects when the French Revolution erupted.
Art with Time
